Create an inviting front porch or a relaxed backyard retreat with a design that feels at home. RC Deck Co serves Villanova and the surrounding Main Line.
Plan your projectA 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.
Villanova addresses include properties in Lower Merion and Radnor townships. Identify the township for your parcel before using a permit checklist or developing the proposed footprint.
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.
Coordinate the entry with porch railing options and stairs and landings. If the goal is a larger roofed backyard platform, compare covered deck designs as part of the same planning conversation. Review all outdoor services in Villanova or explore porches 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
Show the roof outline as well as the floor area so the discussion can address the entire proposed structure in the correct township. Coordinate the entry path, seating, columns, railings, and stairs; include a roof only where it is part of the proposed design.
Bring the parcel municipality, a survey if available, and a sketch showing the house, existing outdoor structures, and proposed work.
Lower Merion publishes residential expansion guidance addressing setbacks and coverage; Radnor provides separate construction and grading permit resources. A Villanova mailing address alone does not select the correct review process.
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.
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.
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.
