Design a practical route from the house to your outdoor gathering spaces and yard. RC Deck Co serves Gladwyne and the surrounding Main Line.
Plan your projectDeck stairs organize the way people move through an outdoor space. Their location affects furniture placement, lawn access, and the usable area at every level.
Gladwyne is in Lower Merion Township. Its residential expansion guidance makes the relationship between a proposed structure, setbacks, and existing site coverage a useful starting point.
We review elevation changes, landing space, handrail details, and how the stair structure connects to the deck. On an existing deck, the surrounding framing needs evaluation before deciding the scope of an upgrade.
Plan handrails and deck railings with the stair geometry. On a multi-level deck, landings organize movement between spaces; at a porch, the stair should also preserve a welcoming approach to the door. Review all outdoor services in Gladwyne or explore deck stairs across the Main Line as you compare the scope.
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.
Discuss your project
Separate surface or railing replacement from changes to the footprint so the scope can be discussed clearly with Lower Merion. Measure the elevation change and available landing area before deciding stair position and configuration.
Bring a survey showing existing buildings, paved areas, and outdoor structures so the proposed changes can be considered together.
Lower Merion provides residential expansion and zoning resources for property-specific review. Check the proposed design against the parcel rather than applying a single neighborhood-wide allowance.
Local resources reviewed October 16, 2026. Confirm current requirements for your parcel and final design with the municipality.
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.
That depends on the framing, elevation, room for a landing, and the path through the yard. The team reviews the proposed stair location as part of the complete deck layout.
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.
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.

View reviewer on GoogleRC deck Co did an amazing job tearing out my old deck and replacing it. Easy process, very communicative and a pleasure to deal with. Would highly recommend them for any deck, pergola, awning, etc work!
