Shay, are you working with a budget and does it have a limit? What is more important the budget or the porch. Change the two ridge lines, house and garage, move them out closer to the porch. This would allow a taller ridge to work with. You would still have the single valley. Hence my question on the budget. Maybe lower the deck as well. Chairs and what not will not obscure the view from inside the house.
