A well-designed porch gives you more ways to enjoy your home and the outdoors. dREamodel designs and builds custom screened porches, three-season porches, four-season porches, porch additions, and enclosures around the way you want to use your space.
From a breezy screened porch for summer evenings to a comfortable four-season room designed for year-round living, our team helps you plan the layout, materials, features, and construction details that make sense for your home.
Every porch starts with a different idea. Maybe you want a comfortable place to enjoy Minnesota summers without mosquitoes. Maybe you’d like to extend your outdoor season into cooler spring and fall weather. Or perhaps you want a fully finished room that feels connected to the outdoors while remaining comfortable throughout the year.
At dREamodel, we start with how you want to use the space. From there, we help you think through the porch style, size, layout, windows and screens, flooring, heating considerations, materials, and architectural details that fit your home.
Whether we’re building something new or transforming an existing deck or porch, the goal is a space that feels intentional—not like an afterthought.
The right porch depends on how you want to use it, when you want to use it, and how closely you want the finished space to function like the rest of your home. dREamodel can help you compare your options and design a porch around your priorities.
A screened porch creates an open-air living space with protection from insects and the elements. It’s a great option for homeowners who want to enjoy fresh air, outdoor dining, entertaining, or quiet evenings without feeling completely exposed.
dREamodel can build a new screened porch or help transform an existing deck or porch into a more comfortable enclosed outdoor space.
A three-season porch offers more protection and flexibility than a traditional screened porch. Depending on your goals and the existing structure, the design may incorporate window systems, insulation, heating considerations, upgraded flooring, and other features that help extend how and when you use the room.
Because dREamodel works on projects ranging from outdoor living spaces to full-home remodeling, we can look beyond individual porch components and consider how the new space connects with the rest of your home.
For homeowners who want a space designed for year-round use, a four-season porch can provide the outdoor connection of a porch with many of the comforts of an interior room.
Windows, insulation, heating, flooring, framing, finishes, and the connection to the existing home all become important parts of the design. Our design-build approach helps bring those decisions together into one cohesive project.
Not every porch project starts from scratch. dREamodel can design new porch additions as well as enclosures that transform an existing deck, covered porch, or other suitable structure.
We’ll evaluate the existing space, talk through how you’d like to use it, and help determine the right approach for creating a finished porch that works with your home.
We can help you compare your options based on your existing home, how you want to use the space, and the level of seasonal comfort you’re looking for.
A custom porch involves much more than choosing screens or windows. The structure beneath your feet, framing overhead, flooring, railings, trim, infill, and finishing details all contribute to how the porch looks, feels, and performs.
Our team walks you through the available options so you can make informed choices for your home, priorities, and design.
The right foundation depends on the porch design, existing conditions, and structural requirements. We’ll help determine an appropriate footing system as part of the planning process.
Framing creates the structure and shape of your porch. Material and design decisions are made with the finished space, architectural style, and intended use in mind.
Porch flooring should complement both the appearance of the space and how you plan to use it. We’ll help you compare appropriate options based on maintenance, comfort, durability, and design.
Trim and fascia provide the finishing details that help a porch feel integrated with the rest of your home rather than added on later.
Railings can provide safety while becoming an intentional part of the porch design. Available styles allow the railing system to complement the home’s architecture and desired sightlines.
Screens, windows, and other infill choices play an important role in determining how open or protected your porch feels throughout the seasons.
Lighting, fans, fireplaces and other finishing features can turn a porch into a space designed around the way your household actually spends time outdoors.
Visit our showroom where you can see many of these options and get ideas and inspiration for your project. Getting a hands-on, up-close look at our high-quality materials will help make your decision-making process easier and more enjoyable.
The best porch isn’t simply an addition to your home’s square footage. It creates a place you’ll actually want to use.
That might mean a screened dining area for summer meals, a comfortable place to watch the game, a quiet space for morning coffee, or a four-season room where family and friends can gather throughout the year.
During the design process, we’ll consider how people will move through the space, furniture placement, views, natural light, access to the yard, and the connection between the porch and the rest of your home.
That functional planning helps create an outdoor living space that looks like it belongs with your home and works for everyday life.
A four-season room needs materials selected for both appearance and everyday performance. Flooring, windows, trim, finishes, and other details should work together to create a room that feels connected to your home while meeting the demands of Minnesota’s changing seasons.
Our team helps you compare options and understand how different selections affect the finished look and function of the space.
Minnesota and Wisconsin homeowners know how much the seasons affect the way we use outdoor space. A thoughtfully designed porch can provide more opportunities to enjoy your backyard while creating a comfortable transition between your home and the outdoors.
dREamodel serves homeowners throughout Minnesota’s East Metro and selected communities in Western Wisconsin, with a focus on custom outdoor living projects designed around the home and the people who live there.

We can work on existing structures and restore outdoor spaces bypassing the design process while creating a cost-centric solution that meets your needs.

If your existing porch no longer fits the way you use your home, our team can help you explore improvements ranging from targeted updates to a more substantial transformation of the space.
A porch project involves decisions about design, structure, materials, comfort, and how the addition connects to the existing home. dREamodel brings those pieces together through a design-build process focused on creating a space that works for the homeowner.
We help you work through the project from the initial idea through design, material selections, and construction. Instead of asking homeowners to figure out every detail on their own, we provide guidance throughout the process.
Our employee-based crews give dREamodel greater continuity throughout construction and help keep the project connected to the team responsible for planning it.
Material and design decisions are easier when you understand what you’re choosing. Our showroom and planning process give homeowners an opportunity to learn about options and make selections with guidance from our team.
A detailed proposal and defined process help you understand the project before construction begins. We focus on creating a porch that makes sense for your home rather than simply adding another structure to it.
A custom porch can be a significant improvement to your home. dREamodel offers access to home improvement financing through HFS Financial for homeowners who want to explore payment options for their project.

Viewing available loan terms begins with a soft credit check, which does not affect your credit score.
