Create an inviting front porch or a relaxed backyard retreat with a design that feels at home.
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.
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.
Start with a free consultation and a custom 3D design. We discuss materials, access, and the written project scope together. Structural details and any required approvals are determined for the specific property.
Talk about porches
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.
Compare wood, composite, and PVC options appropriate for the proposed assembly and exposure. Flooring, columns, railings, trim, and stair finishes should complement the house and meet the selected system’s installation requirements.
A site review establishes the condition of the supports, framing, flooring, stairs, and any roof connections. The team can then discuss which elements can be retained and which need replacement as part of the agreed project scope.
Consider how the roof will meet the house, where columns will sit, how runoff will be handled, and how the cover will affect light indoors. Structural details and required approvals depend on the property and final design.
The design, dimensions, material system, elevations, site access, structural work, and finishing details establish the project scope. A consultation is the starting point for an estimate specific to your property.
RC Deck Co offers a custom 3D design so the layout and details can be discussed before construction. Confirm deliverables, the schedule, and the final scope in the written project agreement.
