Enjoy the outdoors without the pests with a custom screened in porch. At Barefoot Construction, we specialize in building luxury porches for homeowners in East Bethel, Ham Lake, and Blaine. We help you create a “Grounded Sanctuary” that connects you to nature while providing full protection from mosquitoes and rain. Our team focuses on “Seamless Integration.” This ensures your new porch looks like a natural extension of your home’s original architecture.

We prioritize “Universal Design” in every porch project. We create accessible, level transitions from your indoor living room to your new outdoor space. Our team uses high-performance materials like AZEK and TimberTech for flooring. These products withstand the Minnesota freeze-thaw cycle and never require staining. We also integrate “Wellness-Tech” features. These include motorized screens, outdoor fireplaces, and zoned lighting. This allows you to control your environment and extend your outdoor season into late autumn.

We manage the entire construction process for you. Our team secures all Anoka County permits and manages every city inspection. We prioritize clear communication and maintain a clean job site. Whether you want a simple dining porch or a luxury lounge with an outdoor kitchen, we deliver superior results. Trust our local experts to build a screened in porch that enhances your lifestyle.
