Glenwood Springs · Roaring Fork Valley

Deck builder in Glenwood Springs and the Roaring Fork Valley

Composite and wood decks, steel cable railings, pergolas and covered patios — framed to handle snow load and built to take advantage of the view you bought.

A deck in this valley carries a real snow load, sits on ground that freezes deep, and usually exists because of a view. All three belong in how it gets built: footings below frost, framing sized for the span and the load, and railing that holds the view open instead of fencing it off.

That is why cable and metal railing shows up so often in our work — you keep the mountains. We also build the structures that make a deck usable for more of the year: pergolas, covered patios with cedar soffits, and proper stairs and landings.

Questions

Common questions

Composite or wood?

Composite costs more up front and gives most of it back in not sanding and re-staining every couple of seasons, which matters at this sun exposure. Wood is less money now and can be beautiful. We will price both if you want to compare.

When is the best time to build a deck here?

Spring through fall is easiest, and that season fills up. Getting an estimate in winter is the reliable way to get the start date you want.

Do decks need a permit?

Often, depending on height, size and jurisdiction. When one is needed, Max pulls it.

Can you add a cover or pergola to a deck I already have?

Usually, if the existing framing and footings can carry the added load. We will look at what is there and tell you straight whether it needs reinforcing first.
