Composite Decks Built for Colorado Living
Colorado Springs Deck and Patio builds composite decks for homeowners in Colorado Springs, CO, who want a good-looking outdoor space without the ongoing maintenance that wood demands. With nearly a decade of experience, we help homeowners pick materials and designs that hold up to Colorado’s weather, strong sun, and everyday use.
Composite vs. Wood Decking
Wood has a classic appeal, but it also needs regular staining, sealing, and sanding—and even with upkeep, it can splinter, crack, warp, or fade over time. Composite decking holds its color and surface finish better, which means less time fixing problems and more time actually using the space. Most composite products are also splinter-free, which matters for families with kids or pets who spend real time out there barefoot. The surface stays cooler than some materials in direct sun, and it won’t absorb moisture the way wood does, so it’s less likely to swell, rot, or attract insects over time. For homeowners who want the look of a finished outdoor area without the constant attention, it’s a practical trade-off worth considering.
Professional Design and Installation Matter
Before a single board goes down, there’s a lot to think through. As a custom deck builder, we look at layout, shade options, stairs, traffic flow, railings, drainage, and local code requirements. Getting these details right affects how safe, comfortable, and functional the finished deck will be. We walk homeowners through each decision so the choices around materials, framing, and fastening make sense before work begins, not after.
Complete Outdoor Living Options
A composite deck can anchor a larger outdoor space. We also build pergolas, shade structures, outdoor kitchens, and railing systems to round out the area. Whatever the space needs to work well day-to-day, we build it with that in mind.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does composite decking usually last?
Most composite products are built to last for decades. The actual lifespan depends on the brand, how much sun and weather it takes on, and how well the structure underneath is built. We pay just as much attention to the framing as the surface boards—because one affects the other.
Does composite decking get hot in the sun?
It can, especially with darker colors in full afternoon sun. Lighter shades help, and adding a pergola or shade structure makes a real difference. We can talk through options based on how your deck sits relative to the sun.
Can a composite deck be customized?
Absolutely. Composite comes in a wide range of colors, textures, and board widths. We can work in picture-frame borders, custom stairs, railing combinations, and connections to a patio or outdoor kitchen. The goal is a deck that feels like it belongs there, not something that was just tacked on.
