It might work, but how would you make the extension and existing porch look like they're all one piece?
You got it. Just like building a regular deck. Your just adding an extension. Use the same dimensional boards of your existing deck and don't forget the supports. Try to make it blend in with the rest of the deck so it doesn't look off.
Here is a video, but it really doesn't show much of how to do it. Let me see if I can find a better one.

You can add to your concrete porch. And you can even make it look like all the same. You will need to rebar the new to the old. Then pour the new about an inch higher than the old and pour and inch on top of the old part. Then skimcoat the whole thing. Then it all will look the same. A mason will be able to help you. Good luck with your project.
You're welcome. Good luck with your project. Lets us know how it came out. Take pictures before and after. Thanks.
