Plan your project
Bryn Mawr · Porches

A warm welcome. A little more room to linger.

A porch connects everyday life to the outdoors, whether it frames the front door or makes room for quiet evenings behind the house. Start with the entrance, the seating you want, and the way the space meets the yard.

Planning your Bryn Mawr project

Bryn Mawr addresses can be associated with Lower Merion, Radnor, or Haverford Township. The property municipality determines the appropriate local application resources.

We plan open and covered porch options around your home’s architecture, door heights, materials, railings, and stairs. For a covered porch, roof connections, post placement, daylight, and drainage are considered together. Existing structures are reviewed before deciding what can be retained.

Bring these questions to your consultation

  • Should the porch welcome guests, create a seating area, or do both?
  • Would an open or covered design suit the house and the way you use it?
  • How should the flooring, columns, railings, and stairs work with the existing exterior?

Photos of your existing space, approximate dimensions, and any available survey are useful for the first conversation. The team will review access, existing conditions, and your goals before establishing a detailed scope.

Planning in Bryn Mawr

Porches: the local starting point

Document the proposed roof connection and projections with the floor plan so the relevant township can review the whole structure. Coordinate the entry path, seating, columns, railings, and stairs; include a roof only where it is part of the proposed design.

What to bring to the consultation

Bring the municipality, existing structure dimensions, and any survey or prior plans with the project photos.

Official local planning resources

Lower Merion publishes residential expansion guidance, Radnor publishes construction and grading resources, and Haverford Township provides residential submission guidance. Confirm the parcel before selecting one of these processes.

Local resources reviewed October 16, 2026. Confirm current requirements for your parcel and final design with the municipality.

Check the selected product’s guidance

If Deckorators products are specified, consult Deckorators installation instructions for the selected railing, flooring, or accessory system, and review the corresponding Deckorators product warranties. These references do not identify the brand used in the project photographs. Ask us how the written project and warranty commitments apply to your proposal.

Your project, clearly planned.

How do I choose between an open and a covered porch?

Start with the way you want to use the space. An open porch can create a welcoming entry or a place to sit, while a covered porch adds overhead shelter. The design should consider the house’s rooflines, daylight at nearby windows, post placement, and drainage as well as the seating area.

What affects the cost of porches in Bryn Mawr?

The site conditions, size, height, materials, access, and details of the design determine the scope. A consultation and site review are needed before RC Deck Co can provide project-specific pricing.

How do I start a porches project in Bryn Mawr?

Call (610) 246-0546 or prepare an estimate request with your address, goals, and photos. The first conversation covers the site and your priorities; the design and written scope follow from that review.

What local approvals should I plan for?

Lower Merion publishes residential expansion guidance, Radnor publishes construction and grading resources, and Haverford Township provides residential submission guidance. Confirm the parcel before selecting one of these processes. Requirements must be confirmed for the actual parcel and final design.
