Re: tying the porch roof into the main house... I'll add I'd also go with 5/8 CDX ply for the roof sheathing. That added 1/8 goes a long way to resist uplift , and as you know wind in your area is a BIG issue.
Before you refinish your porch you will want to make sure it is clean. You can move any furniture and plants away to a garage or other covered area (in case of rain or other wet weather). If you have a porch that is made of treated wood, you can use a power washer that is low pressure to clean the porch.
