Explore an elevated outdoor space with a design that begins with the building beneath it. RC Deck Co serves Lower Merion Township and the surrounding Main Line.
Plan your projectA rooftop deck requires more than a surface finish. Structural capacity, the roof assembly, waterproofing, drainage, guards, and access all affect whether and how a project can proceed.
Lower Merion Township provides residential expansion guidance and zoning resources for outdoor projects. The proposed structure needs to be considered with the property’s existing buildings and improvements.
We begin with a property-specific feasibility conversation and the professional review needed for the building. The proposed assembly must protect drainage and allow appropriate access to roof components. Availability and scope are confirmed after review.
Include guard and railing connections and stair access in the feasibility review. Once the building-specific requirements are established, the outdoor living layout can be developed around the permitted use and available space. Review all outdoor services in Lower Merion Township or explore rooftop decks 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
Keep replacement work and expanded floor area distinct in the scope and the site sketch. Start with professional review of structural capacity, access, waterproofing, and drainage before choosing surface finishes. A ground-level deck approval does not establish rooftop feasibility.
Bring the existing survey or site plan and identify both the new work and any structures being removed.
Setbacks and site coverage are central topics in the township’s expansion guidance. The applicable treatment depends on the proposed assembly and parcel, so a generic deck-size allowance is not a substitute for review.

No. A building-specific feasibility and structural review is needed. The design must also address roof protection, drainage, access, guards, and any required approvals before the project can proceed.
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!
