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.
Once that is done, you can set a new post in concrete to ensure that your porch or deck doesnât sag. Always use pressure-treated wood for replacement posts and set them in concrete poured over a gravel base, to keep water away from the bottom and sides of the post.
