Deck Additions Pairing Premium Materials With Purpose

Elevate your outdoor living

Each addition we install combines carefully selected materials with specific functional intent. The right pairing delivers both lasting performance and intended purpose.

Deck Railing

Powder-coated aluminum, composite, or natural wood railings provide code-compliant safety barriers while establishing the aesthetic character that defines your deck's visual presence.

Deck Skirting

Pressure-treated lattice, composite panels, or horizontal slat systems enclose the understructure, blocking debris and animal entry while completing the finished appearance from ground level.

Deck Footing

Poured concrete foundations extending below Aurora's frost line anchor your deck's structural system, preventing heaving and settling that compromise surface stability over time.

Deck Lighting

Low-voltage LED fixtures integrated into posts, stairs, and railings provide energy-efficient illumination that extends evening use while enhancing safety on steps and transitions.

Underdeck Systems

Aluminum or vinyl ceiling panels with integrated guttering redirect water away from the space below, creating dry, usable areas beneath elevated deck surfaces.

Pergolas

Western red cedar or composite beam structures provide overhead architectural elements that filter intense Colorado sun while supporting shade fabric or climbing plant installations.

Cabanas

Framed cedar or composite enclosures offer protected outdoor rooms for changing, lounging, or escaping direct sun exposure during Aurora's hot summer afternoons.

Privacy Screens

Vertical cedar slat systems or composite panel installations block neighboring sightlines while permitting airflow, combining visual screening with comfortable ventilation.

Materials Recommended For Aurora's Conditions

Aurora’s high plains climate demands materials that withstand UV intensity, hail impact, temperature swings, and low humidity. We recommend options proven in these specific conditions.

Pressure-Treated Wood handles Aurora's dry climate well when maintained with UV-protective sealers, providing affordable durability that resists rot despite occasional moisture exposure.
Softwood Decking including cedar and redwood contains natural oils that prevent decay, though Aurora's intense sun requires periodic sealing to maintain appearance and prevent surface checking.
Hardwood Decking such as Ipe, Tigerwood, and Cumaru offers exceptional density that resists UV degradation and surface damage better than softer species in high-altitude conditions.
Composite Decking incorporates UV stabilizers and protective caps specifically designed to prevent fading and surface breakdown common at Colorado elevations.
PVC Decking maintains complete dimensional stability through Aurora's temperature extremes, neither expanding in summer heat nor contracting during winter cold snaps.

Manufacturers And Materials We Trust

We partner exclusively with industry-leading manufacturers whose products consistently deliver exceptional durability, performance, and aesthetic appeal.

Deck Configurations For How You'll Use Your Space

Different activities call for different deck designs. We build configurations tailored to support specific uses and the ways you plan to spend time outdoors.
