"Dylan is an exceptional craftsman. I have used him for countless jobs while restoring my 1913 duplex. He was able to manipulate a variety of salvaged materials that I requested to create the perfect complements to the original beautiful wood. Dylan was prompt, fair, and detail-oriented. I would recommend Dylan to anyone looking for exceptional work."

Customers say: Quality work

"BUYER BEWARE!!! TLDR: Months-long planned project delayed by Denver Decks met with disorganization, inconvenience and insulting apologies. All they care about is getting their money for the â finished productâ . Iâ m beyond disappointed and angry that I have to write that as a company, Denver Decks deserves little praise and should be EMBARRASSED as to how our project was conducted. Our project that was months of planning and waiting was ultimately met with delays and confusion the moment Denver Decks started work at my home on Sept 30th. As soon as they arrived, critical materials werenâ t on site and would be difficult to acquire. Work was stopped no less than 5 of the first 11 working days. This resulted in undue inconvenience to my family and neighbors. Each delay was another day and night of having to walk our dog-door accustomed dogs. Each delay was another day with trailers and dumpsters in our yard and on our street. Every time a different person from Denver Decks would blame something other than themselves for their terrible planning, logistics and management. It was always their supplier, the shipper, wrong parts, unforeseen circumstance, etc. Assured our project was the â anomalyâ among many routine projects, Denver Decks would account for the inconveniences. We were WRONG. I had multiple conversations with the owner of Denver Decks who dismissed our frustrations as us â not feeling good about itâ , and that it wasnâ t their fault and all that mattered was the final product, regardless of delays or frustration. The owner did little but deliver some of the delayed materials, arrived in a truck out of which trash fell out onto our street. He offered free upgrades that we didnâ t want nor matched our project specs. We then argued about potential adjustments to the original bid which of course were balked at by the owner. My follow-up texts went unanswered. A day later I was personally having to sign for and receive the delivery of some of these delayed materials (due to Denver Decks absence). My name spelled wrong on the delivery invoice no less. 3-1/2 weeks after our existing deck was demolished did my family finally have a safe and live-able deck. The carpenters themselves did great work and their craftsmanship was exceptional. But they were new to working for Denver Decks and appeared frustrated with their lack of organization and leadership from the Denver Decks back office. Things seemed tense for the onsite crew and Denver Decks throughout this project as the carpenters found themselves the middle-men between myself and the Denver Decks project team at times. Completely unprofessional. On Oct 24th, our project was finally finished. It passed the inspection by the city and our Denver Decks foreman presented us the final bill for payment. To our satisfaction the final price was meaningfully lower than our original price and we took that as an apology and recognition for the hassle during the project. We signed a check in the multiple tens of thousands of dollars and shook hands thinking Denver Decks ultimately did right by my family and our home. Calling family and friends to celebrate, mentioning that despite our trouble, all was well. Denver Decks made our project whole. We were again WRONG. A mere hour or so later, the same Denver Decks foreman I had just paid said that they had forgotten something on the final invoice and if he could just swing back by to pick up a 4-figure check for the difference. Effectively demanding payment in-full for a deck and pergola that came with delays, mistakes, headaches and excuses. Outrageous!!! You can get a quality deck from Denver Decks for a PREMIUM price. Be prepared for PREMIUM excuses, apologies and little sympathy for their disorganized and poorly managed â businessâ . Hard to enjoy our new deck and pergola being so disheartened and angry by the experience. This family recomm..."

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Idaho Springs, CO

To maximize your budget, compare quotes of several builders that fit within your specifications. Don’t be afraid to draw a wider geographic circle if the contractor is willing to travel without charging more. But affordability only matters if you get a quality deck out of it.

Cutting corners or simply finding the cheapest pro could result in significant problems. The materials used may be cheap and rot quickly. The support the surface provides might be unstable and dangerous. Always consider the long-term costs and benefits of quality work. Paying less upfront may actually be more expensive if you consider the cost of repairs.

Deciding on which materials you should use depends entirely on the type of deck you’re looking for. Composite works well for a simple surface exposed to harsh elements, while concrete is the standard choice for many patios. Your decking material options can range from wood to aluminum. Learn about the pros and cons of these materials to make the right decision.

You can build a deck during any season, which is why choosing the right time for this project depends on your preferences:

  • Spring: get your deck ready in time for landscaping and to enjoy it throughout the warmer seasons.

  • Summer: use spring for the planning process, then get the project ready before it gets cold out.

  • Fall: Limit turf or landscape damage by building once most plants begin to recede.

  • Winter: make the excavation process easier, thanks to cold and firm ground.

Many deck builders prefer winter, which is also the season with the shortest waiting queues. Still, other seasons are far from impossible for this type of project.

Expect a thorough examination of the space, and the development of a project schedule. Delivery of materials might already have occurred or could be planned at this point.

Additional research about working with deck builders can help you understand what to expect from experts, and what they expect from you.

Make sure the site of the deck or patio is clear of any landscaping and debris. The contractor will also call a utilities locator service to mark power, water, cable, and other services around the area where they will be digging. The cleaner the area your builder has to work with, the more quickly they can get started. Make sure they have space to park any construction vehicles. Find a dry space for materials that might need storage during the install. Finally, ensure clear access to the site through your house or property.

When it comes to the DIY vs. hire a pro decision for your deck, the answer tends to be clear. Only take it on yourself if you have significant expertise and experience. Without either, you risk building a faulty exterior space, leading to injury risks. Projects built without necessary expertise also break more quickly, making them more expensive in the long run.

If you do want to take on decking as a DIY project, be sure to do your research. Learn about installing the posts and footing for your framing. Understand how to lay decking boards and build the railings and stairs you need for access and security.
