Deck Builder in Denver CO

A professionally installed and properly maintained  Duradek vinyl membrane typically lasts between 20 and 30 years, significantly outperforming traditional wood decks.

Duradek offers an industry-leading, three-tier written warranty that provides comprehensive protection for your investment.  This includes a 15-year manufacturer's warranty covering the waterproof integrity of the 60-mil membrane, ensuring your home stays dry even if a manufacturing defect occurs. Then, there is a 5-year appearance warranty to protect against excessive discoloration beyond natural aging. Lastly, we provide a workmanship warranty to guarantee that the installation itself meets the highest professional standards.

The timeline for a deck building project typically ranges from one to three weeks. This can vary based on the complexity of the design and current weather conditions.

While Duradek can be installed during the Colorado winter, the process is highly dependent on specific temperature windows and dry conditions to ensure the specialized adhesives bond correctly.

Determining if your deck needs professional repair starts with a close inspection of the structural connections and the condition of the surface material. You should look for "soft spots" or sponginess when walking, visible wood rot or fungal growth on the joists and posts, and any loosening of the ledger board where the deck attaches to your home.

Building a deck in Colorado typically costs between $34 and $69 per square foot, which is higher than the national average due to local labor rates and the specific demands of the climate. For a standard 200 to 400 square foot project, homeowners generally spend between $15,000 and $40,000 for a professionally built custom deck. The exact cost depends on the material used, labor rates of the builder, elevation, and complexity of the deck.

Pressure-treated pine wood remains the most commonly used deck material in the US, primarily due to its widespread availability and low upfront cost. However for Colorado homeowners, Composite or PVC (Vinyl) is the best and most commonly used decking material as they are better engineered to survive the state's extreme UV exposure and constant freeze-thaw cycles.

For a traditional wood deck in Colorado, you should typically stain or seal the surface every 1 to 2 years to combat Colorado’s intense UV rays and dry air. If you notice that water no longer beads up on the wood or if the color has noticeably faded to a gray, weathered tone, the protective barrier has likely broken down, leaving the timber vulnerable to cracking and rot.
