01Built for the Front Range

Built for Colorado sun, snow and freeze-thaw.

Intense sun, freeze-thaw cycles, snow loads and wide temperature swings shape every material and framing choice we make on a Colorado deck.

Every layer of the deck, designed and built by one team

The footings and framing you'll never see decide how the boards you do see hold up. Select a layer to see what goes into it.

  • Site preparation, excavating and grading come first. Then the concrete footings and posts that carry everything above them.

  • On an upper deck, a ceiling system with integrated gutters catches the water that falls between the boards and carries it to downspouts, so the space below stays dry enough to use.

  • The frame decides how straight the deck stays. Pressure-treated wood suits many decks. Steel spans farther between supports and resists rot and insects, which counts on large or high decks.

  • Cedar, redwood and pressure-treated wood bring natural warmth. Composite resists rot, splintering and insects, and Trex skips the yearly sanding, staining and sealing. Stairs are measured and built to local code.

  • Railings keep people safe and set the look of the whole deck: wood, composite or metal, from white posts with black balusters to horizontal bars.

  • An open pergola adds shade and a focal point. A solid cover adds shelter from sun and rain. Either can be attached to the house or freestanding.

Wood, composite or Trex, framed in wood or steel

The right choice depends on how much upkeep you want, how high the deck sits and what it has to carry.

06How it works

From the first conversation to the final walkthrough

  1. 01

    Consultation

    We talk through how you want to use the space and, where it helps, visit the site to measure and spot challenges early.

  2. 02

    Design

    Layout, size, height, stairs, railings and materials get worked out together, with your budget part of the conversation.

  3. 03

    Permits and HOA

    We confirm which office has jurisdiction, prepare drawings, submit the permit, coordinate inspections and help with HOA review.

  4. 04

    Construction

    Site preparation, footings, framing and decking, then stairs, railings and any cover or drainage, built to local code.

  5. 05

    Walkthrough

    Wood gets stained or sealed where it needs it, the work is inspected, the site is cleaned up and we walk the deck with you.

No project minimum. If it's within our abilities, we'll build it.
