About Front Porches
Front porches serve as the welcoming gateway to your home, creating vital first impressions while providing functional outdoor living space. Dream Decks designs and constructs front porches that complement your home's architectural style while adding significant curb appeal and property value to Minneapolis–Saint Paul-area homes.
Our front porch construction integrates seamlessly with your existing home's architecture. For traditional homes, we craft porches with classical column styles, detailed railings, and period-appropriate trim work. Modern homes receive clean-lined designs with contemporary materials and minimalist detailing. Every front porch we build considers the home's existing roofline, siding, and window placement to create a cohesive appearance.
Structural elements receive particular attention in front porch construction. We install proper frost-depth footings with adequate load capacity for columns and roofing. Column selection ranges from structural wood posts wrapped with decorative covers to fiberglass or aluminum columns designed for specific architectural styles. Roofing ties into your existing structure with proper flashing and shingle matching.
