PORCH INTERIOR & EXTERIOR OPTIONS DESIGNED FOR HOW YOU LIVE

The Right Porch Details Determine Comfort, Durability, And How You Use The Space

From ceilings and flooring to finishes and exterior details, porch interior and exterior options shape how your space feels and functions year-round. We help homeowners choose materials and features that align with their home’s style, usage, and Minnesota’s changing seasons.

Interior Options

Tongue & Groove AllPrime

AllPrime is an exterior rated naturally durable wood product created from the lightweight, extractive free Paulownia species, and has been engineered for optimum performance. It is double coated with quality oil primer making it an excellent option for wall, ceiling, and trim board applications. This product does come pre-primed but does need to be painted, which allows for any custom color you would like.

Tongue & Groove Cedar

Cedar is a natural wood product with the beauty and imperfections of knots and wood grain texture that will vary in color. The tongue and groove cedar is a rough sawn exposed grade, not a smooth finish. The aesthetics of cedar can be different depending on stain colors applied.

Decorative Wood Beams

Custom wood beams are a great way to add character and warmth to your porch space. Reclaimed barnwood beams or handcrafted cedar beams are both options that can be installed. A reclaimed barnwood beam will have natural distressed cracks, hand hewn finish, and mortise pockets from original construction. A handcrafted cedar beam will have the natural look of knots and rough sawn exterior finish.

Infratech Radiant Heaters

Bringing indoor comfort to outdoor living. Adding a custom multi-zone heat source to your porch space will allow you to extend the useability on cooler Minnesota days.

Facemount or flush mount units are available depending on design and size of space. Multi-zone controls give you the flexibility to adjust temperature and which units you want on or off during use. An Infratech heating package does require a high input of power, and in most cases requires a substation to be installed.

A multi-zone heating package can range in cost from $12,000 -$20,000+.

A second option that requires very little maintenance is upgrading to a PVC exterior finish. All joints are glued and screwed together so once installation is complete it does not need to be caulked or painted.
