Outdoor space designed around your everyday plans
Think about what would get you outside more often: room to eat together, a covered place to sit or a better connection between the house and yard. RGR uses those everyday plans to discuss decks, porches and related exterior work.
We want the layout, steps, materials and building connections to make sense together. Your project manager helps you work through what is included now and what you may want to plan for later, with maintenance preferences and access part of the conversation.
Start with how you want to spend time outside
Tell us how the space will be used, how people reach it and which features should stay. Layout, access and maintenance preferences help shape the plan.
Connect each part of the project
Decks, porches and exterior improvements may share framing, steps or building connections. The proposal identifies the work, materials and any design, specialist trades or approvals needed.
Open decks, covered porches and screened porches suit outdoor use. If you want a fully enclosed porch with heating and air conditioning, tell us at the start; RGR can include the enclosure, electrical work and comfort equipment in the same agreed project.
What shapes your estimate?
A useful estimate defines the work, materials and assumptions before the total. These are the main factors to discuss for your property.
How the space will be used
Layout, circulation and connections between the home and outdoor features guide the design.
Structure and materials
Foundations, framing, decking and finish choices affect construction quantities and details.
Site and sequence
Access, existing improvements and required approvals influence how the work is organized.
Planning the way you want to live outside
Start with how you will use the space
Tell us about seating, meals, shade and access to the yard. Share the existing layout and the features you want to keep.
Connect the outdoor construction details
We discuss open, covered, screened or enclosed layouts, materials and building connections. Electrical features and heating and air conditioning for enclosed spaces can be included in the proposal.
Work through the project with RGR
Your project manager coordinates the agreed construction and scheduling, keeping you involved in selections and questions that affect how the space comes together.

Read articleWhere should I start when planning an outdoor living space?
Start with how you want to use it: sitting, dining, gathering, or covered access. Share the location, layout ideas, and any existing deck or porch concerns with RGR.
Can enclosed porches include electrical work and heating or air conditioning?
Yes. RGR can plan an enclosed porch with electrical work for lighting, ceiling fans and outlets, plus heating and air conditioning for a fully enclosed space. The roof, framing, foundations and connection to the house need review as part of the project. Your proposal identifies the enclosure, equipment and trade work included.
Can you include repairs to an existing deck or porch?
Yes. Existing construction can be reviewed alongside the new work. The estimate should identify what will be retained, repaired, or replaced.
Which materials make sense for coastal outdoor areas?
Exposure, maintenance preferences, structural requirements, and budget guide the choice. Materials, protective finishes, and fasteners must be compatible with the site and the proposed system.
What approvals should I check before planning the work?
Permit and inspection requirements depend on the work and the property’s jurisdiction. Confirm who will obtain approvals and arrange inspections when the scope is prepared; share any HOA requirements before work is scheduled.
