Tearing out the overgrown bushes would be a good start. The portico you showed would overwhelm the house but on a smaller scale a reverse gable over a front porch might work in scale with the house. Until you clear out the stuff it is hard to tell because you can't really see anything but the roof and the bushes. A lot is going to depend on your budget, redoing the landscaping is a good DIY project. You can go to a nursery and probably get a good plan for your house at little or no cost. That plan could be implemented over a couple of years as your budget permits. Adding the roof would be a large expense, and probably professionally done that you'd have to absorb at one time.This message has been edited.

I followed the link today to see what they've been up to. The project is going well, the neighbors seem like jerks. If you have some time read TYL's blog.
