Built right. Every time.

Forty years in the trade means knowing how to do the work — and how to coordinate it. From decks to barndominiums, every RDS project gets the same attention down to the punch list.

Custom Decks

Cedar, composite, or pressure-treated decks built for Central Oregon weather and engineered for the snow loads we actually get.

View Decks

2nd Level Decks

Elevated decks and balconies — engineered ledgers, code-compliant railings, and finishes that handle Cascade weather year after year.

View 2nd Level Decks

Covered Patio Space

Year-round outdoor living — covered patios, attached sunrooms, and pergola structures with proper rooflines and snow-rated supports.

View Covered Patios

Kitchen Remodels

Full kitchen redesigns — cabinets, counters, layout changes, lighting. One contractor coordinating everything, not four trades.

View Kitchens

Bathroom Remodels

Small refresh to full down-to-the-studs rebuild. Tile, plumbing, fixtures — handled with waterproofing done right.

View Baths

Hardwood Floors

Hardwood, LVP, tile, and refinishing. Subfloor repair where needed — because most floor failures trace to a skipped step.

View Flooring

Outdoor Buildings

Shops, sheds, detached garages, pole barns, and barndominiums — built for Cascade winters with proper foundations and snow-rated roofs.

View Buildings

First-Level Additions

Single-story bump-outs, room extensions, and ADUs on grade. Foundation tied to your existing structure, roof line matched, exterior siding seamless.

View First-Level Additions

Second-Story Additions

Adding a full second story to an existing single-level home. Structural reinforcement, engineered framing, and a finish that looks like the house always had it.

View 2nd Story Additions

Big impact. Small footprint. This summer.

The kitchen-gut budget isn't there yet — and that's fine. Start with the project you'll actually live with first. Firepits, pergolas, mudrooms, pantries. Real changes to how your house feels without changing your bank account.

Backyard Firepit & Stone Seating

Family outdoor nights start here. Stone ring, paver seating, gravel pad. Move the family outside this summer.

Pergola Over Existing Patio

Cascade-shade all summer long. Cedar timber post-and-beam over your existing concrete or paver patio. Outdoor room without an outdoor remodel.

Get a Pergola Quote

Multi-Slide Doors

Walls of glass that slide open in summer and seal tight for Cascade winters. Pull the outdoors in.

View Sliding Doors

Mudroom Drop Zone

Snow boots, dog gear, jackets, backpacks — finally have a home. Built-in bench, hooks, cubbies. Made for Central Oregon winters.

Get a Mudroom Quote

Laundry Room Refresh

Make laundry day less of a chore. Custom cabinets, a folding counter, a deep utility sink, and stacked units that open up the floor. Quiet, organized, finally finished.

Get a Laundry Quote

Pet Wash Station

Built into your laundry room, mudroom, or garage. Tile, drain, handheld sprayer, half-height for big dogs. Bend dog-life upgrade.

Get a Pet Wash Quote

Fireplace & Hearth Refresh

New stone, tile, mantel, or custom surround on your existing fireplace. The room's centerpiece, done right.

View Fireplaces

Closets & Built-Ins

Custom pantries, walk-in closets, window seats, bookshelves. Finish carpentry that turns wasted space into a feature.

View Built-Ins

Murphy Bed Install

Guest room becomes office. Office becomes guest room. Custom-built into a wall with cabinetry. The work-from-home crowd's favorite.

Get a Murphy Bed Quote

Garage Walk-Through Door

Skip the big door. Walk out with the trash, the recycling, the dog, the snow shovel. Standard exterior door cut into the side wall.

Barndominiums, Central Oregon.

A growing number of Deschutes County homeowners are building barndominiums — and most of the contractors ranking for those searches aren't local. RDS is. A 40-year family business on the lot, every week.

Build the shop first.
Live in it. Then build the house.

It's the Central Oregon move that smart buyers of raw acreage make: build a permitted shop with an apartment above it first. Live in the apartment while RDS builds your main home next to it. Year one you're on your land. Year two you have your dream house. The shop becomes your forever garage.

  • Permitted shop with full apartment above (kitchen, bath, bedroom)
  • You're on your land while the main house gets designed and built
  • No paying rent + a mortgage at the same time
  • Final result: dream home + finished shop. Two buildings, one budget arc.

Built with intention.
Finished with proof.

From the first walk on your lot to the final commissioning of your home, every phase is documented, sequenced, and personally led by Rory. No hand-offs. No surprises.

  1. 01 / Diagnostic
    Environmental & Scope Diagnostic
    We walk your land before we draw a line. Topography, solar orientation, drainage, prevailing wind, and soil are read like a brief — every variable becomes design intelligence. You receive a written scope and a real cost framework, not a sales sheet.
  2. 02 / Sequencing
    Architectural Sequencing & Procurement
    We finalize engineering, lock structural materials, and sequence trades against permit timelines. Premium framing lumber, steel, and finish goods are sourced and staged so weather and supply chains stop dictating your schedule.
  3. 03 / Build
    Master Craftsmanship & Real-Time Updates
    Foundation, framing, mechanical, finish — executed by long-tenured crews with Rory on-site every week. You receive a Friday update with photos, milestones cleared, and the week ahead. No surprises, no silence.
  4. 04 / Handover
    Commissioning & Handover
    A rigorous final walkthrough. Every inspection signed off, every system commissioned. You receive a documentation portfolio — warranties, finish specs, system manuals — and a structural warranty that puts the Stout name behind the build.

Free tools to start planning.

No sign-up wall, no pressure. Run the numbers, find your style, size your build — then talk to Rory when you're ready.
