Three and Four Season Porches Built Right
Add bright, comfortable living space for more Minnesota enjoyment in Minnetonka, Edina, and Minneapolis.
Three and Four Season Porches
At Walker Outdoor Solutions | Decks and Landscaping, we build three season porches and four season porches that give you more usable space and a better way to enjoy your home in Minnesota. Whether you want a bright porch for spring, summer, and fall or a fully insulated room for year-round comfort, we design each space to match your home, your yard, and how you plan to use it.
A three season porch is a great option if you want protection from bugs, wind, and light rain while still enjoying fresh air and outdoor views. These spaces often include large screened or windowed openings, durable flooring, strong framing, and a finished look that blends with your home and deck. A four season porch goes a step further with insulated walls, energy-efficient windows, and construction details made for all-weather use. It can function more like an added living space, sunroom, or backyard retreat through every season.
We handle the full scope of the project, from planning and layout to framing, finishes, and integration with existing outdoor features. Many homeowners in Minnetonka, Edina, and Minneapolis ask us to connect a new porch to a deck, patio, or exterior remodeling project so the whole outdoor living area feels seamless. We can help you think through size, traffic flow, views, natural light, privacy, and how the porch will work with your existing structure.
Our builds focus on long-term performance. That means quality materials, solid structural work, weather-ready details, and a clean finish. We pay close attention to rooflines, drainage, windows, doors, and transitions so your porch not only looks great but also holds up well in Minnesota weather. If your project is part of a larger deck building plan, we make sure the porch design supports the look and function of the full space.

Our Process for Three and Four Season Porches
At Walker Outdoor Solutions | Decks and Landscaping, we make porch projects simple, well-planned, and built for Minnesota weather. Our process keeps communication clear from design through final walkthrough, so you know exactly what to expect at every stage.
Consultation, Site Visit, and Design
We start with an on-site consultation in Minnetonka, Edina, or Minneapolis to review your home, layout, sun exposure, and how you want to use the space. Then we build a custom three season or four season porch plan with material options, budget details, and a realistic timeline, usually within 1 week.
Planning, Permits, and Build Prep
Once you approve the design, Walker Outdoor Solutions | Decks and Landscaping handles measurements, project planning, and permit coordination to keep everything moving smoothly. We confirm structural details, window and screen selections, insulation needs, and scheduling so the installation is organized and efficient from day one.
Construction, Finishing, and Walkthrough
Our crew builds your porch with close attention to framing, roofing tie-ins, weather protection, and clean finish work that matches your home. After construction, we complete a detailed walkthrough, answer your questions, and make sure your new porch is ready for comfortable use through spring, summer, fall, or year-round.

Why Homeowners Recommend Walker Outdoor Solutions | Decks and Landscaping
Real feedback on deck builds, exterior projects, and the kind of service people trust and share
We initially wanted to have a fence replaced and got a quote from Walker Outdoor Solutions. JJ gave us a quote, but then offered to give us quotes on the patio project we told him we were interested in eventually doing. After listening to our wants and wishes and getting a competitive quote, we decided to do both the fence and patio projects with JJ. The experience was great! JJ really listened and delivered a quality product for us. Our old deck was removed and a concrete patio was poured to replace it, including stairs from our sliding door. Our old fence was removed and hauled away and replaced with cedar pickets and PostMaster fence posts. With all of the attention to using lasting materials, we’re excited to use our new outdoor space here in Minnetonka for years to come. We’re extremely pleased with the end result and would highly recommend Walker Outdoor Solutions. With JJ’s attention to our wants and wishes, we really felt respected as clients and not just numbers. Photos with the deck are the original setup. Fence, concrete patio, and the stairs are what Walker Outdoor Solutions were able to build for us to make the outdoor space safer and more manageable.
We used Walker Outdoor Solutions for our deck in Saint Paul. The team and leadership were top- notch and the outcome was even better. Highly recommend Walker Outdoor Solutions! Trustworthy, exceptionally skilled and professional service!
We had a wonderful experience with Walker Outdoor Solutions. From our initial call, we felt that they wanted to deliver exactly what we were asking for. JJ understood what we were trying to achieve and came back with a design that worked for us. We signed the contract and were put on the schedule. Throughout the project we were kept aware of any changes or timing issues and the site was always cleaned up at the end of each day. I would definitely recommend Walker Outdoor Solutions and will use them again in the future.
