Unlock Your Deck's Full Potential:
Why Cover Your Colorado Springs Outdoor Space
A custom deck cover or roof extension is far more than just an overhead shield; it’s a strategic investment that fundamentally transforms how you live in and enjoy your valuable outdoor area, particularly here in the unique climate of the Pikes Peak region. By adding expertly designed overhead protection, you unlock a range of significant benefits tailored to the Colorado lifestyle:
Elevate Your Look: Decorative Concrete Options
Why settle for plain grey when concrete offers so much design potential? We specialize in decorative finishes that add unique character, texture, and high-end visual appeal to your concrete surfaces:
- Stamped Concrete: Achieve the sophisticated look and texture of natural materials like flagstone, slate, brick, cobblestone, or even wood planking using specialized stamping tools. This offers incredible aesthetic versatility often at a lower cost than installing the actual natural materials.
- Colored Concrete: Infuse personality and coordinate with your home’s exterior by adding color. This can be achieved through integral pigments mixed directly into the concrete before pouring, or through topical stains and dyes applied after curing for unique effects and hues.
Combine stamped patterns with custom colors for truly breathtaking and unique patios, walkways, and other concrete features that dramatically enhance your Colorado Springs home.
- Escape the Intense Colorado Sun & UV Rays
Our beautiful Colorado sunshine comes with intense high-altitude UV rays that can make decks uncomfortably hot during peak summer hours and cause significant fading to furniture and decking materials over time. A custom cover provides cooling, reliable shade, creating a comfortable retreat where you, your family, and your guests can relax or dine outdoors even on the brightest days. It also acts as a crucial barrier, protecting your valuable outdoor furnishings and the deck structure itself from damaging UV exposure, helping them last longer.
- Enjoy Your Deck in (Almost) Any Weather
Why let Colorado’s unpredictable weather chase you inside? A solid deck cover or roof extension provides dependable shelter from common elements like sudden afternoon thunderstorms, inconvenient rain showers, light snowfall, and even moderate hail. This protection dramatically extends your outdoor living season, allowing you to comfortably use your deck earlier in the spring, later into the fall, and keeping the space cleaner and drier throughout the year. It also shields your deck’s surface from excessive moisture, contributing to its longevity.
- Achieve Seamless Architectural Integration
Forget generic, utilitarian patio covers! Our custom deck covers and roof extensions are meticulously designed achieve architectural harmony with your specific home. We carefully consider existing rooflines, pitches, siding materials, trim details, and colors to ensure your new cover looks like a natural, intentional, and high-quality extension of your house, not a tacked-on afterthought. This seamless integration significantly boosts your home’s curb appeal.
- Increase Your Home's Livable Space & Market Value
Effectively, a covered deck or patio becomes an additional room for your home – a versatile ‘outdoor living room’suitable for dining, relaxing, entertaining, or even a protected play area for kids. This added functional square footage is a highly desirable feature for homebuyers in the competitive Colorado Springs market. Investing in a well-designed, professionally built deck cover is a valuable home improvement that enhances your daily lifestyle and can provide a strong return on investment by increasing your property’s overall appeal and resale value.
Custom Designed for Harmony, Expertly Built for Colorado Strength
Creating the ideal deck cover or roof extension for your Colorado Springs home requires more than just providing overhead shelter; it demands a thoughtful blend of architectural design skill and robust construction expertise. We specialize in crafting structures that not only look like they were always part of your home but are also engineered to reliably withstand our demanding local climate conditions year after year.
Designing for Seamless Architectural Integration
Our primary design goal is to achieve true architectural harmony. We move beyond generic solutions, carefully analyzing your home’s existing style, rooflines, and materials. Our custom design process involves:
- Matching Roof Styles & Pitch: We strive to match the new cover’s roof style (e.g., gable, shed, hip) and pitch to your existing house roof for a seamless look.
- Selecting Complementary Materials: We source and utilize roofing materials (like asphalt shingles or metal panels), siding, soffit, fascia, and trim that precisely match or beautifully complement your home’s current exterior finishes.
- Considering Scale & Proportion: We ensure the size and scale of the cover feel balanced and appropriate for both your deck/patio area and your home’s overall structure.
- Optimizing Light & Views: We thoughtfully consider how the new structure might impact natural light entering adjacent rooms and aim to preserve important views where possible.
The result is a structure that feels like a natural, high-quality, and original part of your Colorado Springs home.
Engineering for Snow Loads, Wind & Durability
A beautiful design must be supported by uncompromising structural integrity, especially given Colorado Springs’ potential for heavy snowfalls and strong winds. Our construction practices prioritize safety and longevity:
- Robust Structural Framework: We use appropriately sized, high-quality framing lumber and engineered beams designed to handle significant snow loads typical for the Pikes Peak region. Our standard practice includes using sturdy 6×6 support posts.
- Secure Connections: We ensure strong, weather-sealed structural connections where the cover attaches to your existing home, preventing leaks and ensuring stability.
- Code Compliance & Beyond: All our structures are designed and built to meet or exceed the stringent requirements of the Pikes Peak Regional Building Department (PPRBD), ensuring they are safe, sound, and fully compliant.
Quality Materials for Lasting Performance
From the hidden framework to the visible finishes, we utilize only high-quality construction materials chosen for their durability and suitability for our climate. This includes pressure-treated or other appropriate framing lumber, durable roofing underlayments and materials, weather-resistant exterior finishes, and corrosion-resistant fasteners. Using superior materials translates directly into a longer lifespan, better performance, and greater value for your investment.
Our custom deck cover and roof extension solutions provide Colorado Springs homeowners with beautifully integrated, structurally sound, and highly functional options that ensure year-round usability, protection from the elements, lasting beauty, and peace of mind for years to come.

Custom Designs & Code-Compliant Installation in Colorado Springs
Choosing the right low-maintenance material is just the beginning. Achieving a truly exceptional railing system for your Colorado Springs home requires a design tailored to your unique style and, crucially, professional installation that guarantees safety, code compliance, and lasting durability. We are committed to delivering excellence in both areas.
Tailored Designs to Complement Your Home
We believe your railing should be more than just a safety barrier; it should be an integral part of your home’s design aesthetic. We collaborate with you to customize your metal (steel or aluminum) or composite railing system, ensuring it perfectly aligns with your home’s architecture and your personal preferences. This involves:
- Selecting the ideal style (e.g., modern horizontal elements, classic vertical balusters, specific post cap designs).
- Choosing colors from available powder-coat (for metal) or composite finishes to precisely match or elegantly accent your home’s exterior trim, siding, or deck colors.
- Configuring the railing layout precisely for your specific deck, patio, stairway, or balcony, considering factors like view preservation from your Colorado Springs vantage point.
Expert Railing Systems Installation Focused on Safety & Longevity
The long-term safety and performance of your railing depend entirely on the quality of its installation. Our experienced teams are meticulous and adhere to the highest standards:
- Secure Mounting: We ensure every post is anchored securely to your structure – whether it’s deck framing, concrete surfaces, or stair stringers – using appropriate, high-quality hardware and techniques engineered to withstand Colorado’s weather and required loads.
- Code Compliance: We strictly follow all Pikes Peak Regional Building Department (PPRBD) building codes concerning railing height (typically 36″ or 42″), baluster spacing (less than 4″ gap), structural load requirements, and proper handrail graspability and extensions for stairways.
- Precision & Detail: From ensuring plumb posts and level rails to clean connections and finishing touches, we focus on the details that result in a professional, high-quality installation.
Your Safety is Our Top Priority
While aesthetics matter greatly, the fundamental purpose of any railing system is to provide reliable safety. We never compromise on installation integrity. Every component, from the structural posts to the final fasteners, is installed with meticulous care to ensure your railing provides dependable protection for your family, friends, and guests, giving you complete peace of mind.

Pergola or Pavilion? Choosing the Right Structure for Your Needs
Both custom pergolas and pavilions are fantastic additions that bring structure, style, and usability to your Colorado Springs backyard. However, they serve distinct primary functions, mainly differing in the type and amount of overhead cover they provide. Understanding these differences is key to selecting the perfect outdoor structure to meet your specific goals for shade, protection, and overall aesthetic.
The Pergola: Architectural Style & Filtered Shade
A pergola is defined by its signature open-roof design. It typically consists of vertical posts supporting a framework of cross-beams, rafters, or slats, creating a lattice-like effect overhead rather than a solid covering.
- Function & Benefits
Pergolas excel at architecturally defining an outdoor space – like framing a patio seating area, highlighting a walkway, or adding visual interest to a garden. They provide dappled or filtered sunlight, offering pleasant relief from the direct intensity of the Colorado sun while still allowing for an open, airy feeling. They are also ideal for supporting beautiful climbing plants like wisteria or hops, adding natural shade and beauty over time.
- Best for:
Homeowners who want to add significant style and definition to an outdoor area, desire partial shade rather than full blockage, and appreciate an open-air atmosphere.
The Pavilion: Complete Protection & An Outdoor Room
A pavilion, on the other hand, features a solid, continuous roof fully supported by sturdy posts, much like an open-air extension of your home, but typically freestanding in the yard or over a patio.
- Function & Benefits
The key advantage of a pavilion is the complete overhead protection it offers from the elements. Its solid roof shields you entirely from the intense summer sun, rain showers, and even light Colorado snow, making the space usable in a wider range of conditions. This substantial cover effectively creates a true “outdoor room” – perfect for sheltering outdoor kitchens, full dining sets, or comfortable lounge areas year-round.
- Best for:
Those seeking maximum shade and weather protection, wanting to create a dedicated outdoor room suitable for dining or entertaining regardless of the weather, and desiring a more substantial, enclosed (but still open-air) feel.
Making Your Choice:
Think about your primary goal. Are you looking mainly for architectural enhancement and partial relief from the sun while maintaining an open feel (Pergola)? Or do you need reliable, full protection from sun and rain to create a consistently usable outdoor room (Pavilion)?
Don’t worry if you’re still deciding! During your free design consultation, our Colorado Springs experts will listen to your needs, assess your space, and help you determine which structure – or perhaps a combination of elements – will best achieve your vision.

Bringing Your Covered Deck Vision to Life: Our Process
Adding a permanent, high-quality deck cover or roof extension involves careful planning, integrated design, and expert construction, especially ensuring it meets local structural requirements. We manage this entire process professionally, providing clear communication and a smooth experience from your initial concept to your finished, comfortable outdoor space here in Colorado Springs.
Here are the steps we take together:
Free In-Home Consultation & Needs Assessment: Our process begins with a thorough consultation at your home. We’ll discuss your primary goals (e.g., sun protection, rain/snow shelter, creating an ‘outdoor room’), assess your existing deck or patio structure for suitability, evaluate the best ways to integrate with your house’s architecture and roofline, take precise measurements, and explore initial design styles and budget considerations.
Custom Design Development & Detailed Proposal: Based on our consultation, our team develops a custom design tailored to your home and requirements. This often includes drawings or renderings to help you visualize the finished structure. You’ll receive a comprehensive, transparent proposal that details the full scope of work, specified materials chosen to match or complement your home (roofing, siding, trim, etc.), the projected timeline, and the complete project investment.
Plan Finalization & Permit Management: We collaborate with you to refine the design until it perfectly matches your vision. Since deck covers and roof extensions are structural additions, obtaining permits is essential. We take this complex task off your plate by preparing the necessary architectural plans and managing the submission process with the Pikes Peak Regional Building Department (PPRBD) to secure all required approvals before any construction starts.
Project Scheduling & Material Coordination: Once permits are approved, we coordinate the ordering and delivery of all high-quality materials for your project. We then establish a clear construction schedule, communicating projected start dates and timelines with you and ensuring you stay informed throughout the process.
Expert Construction & Seamless Integration: Our skilled and experienced construction crews get to work, building your deck cover or roof extension with precision, care, and a focus on safety. We pay meticulous attention to creating strong, secure, and weather-tight structural connections both to your home and the foundation or deck structure below. We manage every phase, from framing and roofing to installing matching siding, soffit, and fascia, always maintaining a professional and organized job site.
Inspections, Final Walkthrough & Completion: We handle the scheduling and coordination of all required PPRBD inspections at key stages during construction (such as framing) and upon completion. Once everything passes inspection, we conduct a detailed final walkthrough with you to ensure the finished work exceeds your expectations and meets our high standards. After a thorough cleanup of the work area, your beautiful new covered outdoor living space is ready for you to furnish and enjoy!
Our structured process ensures your custom deck cover or roof extension is built beautifully, safely, and efficiently, adding significant comfort and lasting value to your Colorado Springs home.
