About these listings. We list local companies whose own websites show they build decks, after checking each website and phone number (last checked November 3, 2026). Services are the ones each builder names on its website. A license number shows only when it matches Minnesota DLI records. No one pays to be listed, and a listing is not an endorsement. More about the listings
Porches need a permit. Minneapolis, for example, requires building permits for all porches, including screen porches and three-season porches, with footings below the frost line, 42 inches below grade.
A porch roof has to carry Minnesota snow. The state sets the ground snow load for the metro at 50 pounds per square foot, and the residential code sets the roof snow load at 0.7 times that, or 35 pounds per square foot. Your builder designs the roof for it.
