If your “temporary” patio set has survived two Aurora wind gusts and a Piney Creek Trail snack raid, it’s time. Colorado Elite Outdoor Contractors designs and builds decks for Prides Crossing and the rest of 80015—think Smoky Hill, Copperleaf, and Saddle Rock Ridge—so you can host more, shovel less, and keep those foothill skies in frame.
Engineered for local code + climate. We size framing/footings to the City of Aurora design criteria—including 36″ minimum frost depth—so your deck rides out freeze–thaw without heaving. (Our plans follow Aurora’s adopted criteria sheet.)
Permit pros (hello, online portals). We prepare drawings and submit through the city’s Aurora4Biz customer portal and eTRAKiT—then track reviews and inspections so you don’t have to babysit a dashboard.
Neighborhood know-how. Building near Quincy Reservoir in Prides Crossing? We plan for sightlines and breezes. Working in Copperleaf or Saddle Rock Ridge? We package HOA-friendly colors and rail specs to fit the community look.
Weather-smart materials. UV and spring snows (hi, March) are hard on decking. We help you compare composite/PVC vs. premium wood for the way your yard actually gets sun, wind, and slush.
Custom deck design & installation – single/multi-level, walkouts, under-deck drainage
Composite & PVC decks – low-maintenance boards with strong fade/stain resistance
Premium wood decks – kiln-dried framing, hidden fasteners, durable finishes
Railings & lighting – code-compliant profiles, step lights, post caps
Stairs, landings & gates – safe, winter-friendly treads
Pergolas & shade – because July dinners on full-sun decking aren’t a sport we recommend
Keep the water-and-sky vibe. In Prides Crossing, Quincy Reservoir is the star—so we favor low-profile rails and “view windows” that preserve sunsets and pelican flyovers. (Check the city’s seasonal hours if you’re planning a post-build picnic.)
Trail-adjacent privacy. Along the Piney Creek Trail corridor? We mix privacy panels with airflow so you keep the greenbelt without the fishbowl.
HOA-friendly design. Copperleaf and Saddle Rock Ridge each have a distinct look; we’ll present colors, rails, and elevations your ACC will recognize—less back-and-forth, faster approvals.
On-site consult & design – Measure, check setbacks/easements, and sketch options you can picture.
Permits & HOA package – We submit via Aurora4Biz/eTRAKiT and package HOA materials (plans, colors, rail profiles).
Engineering & code check – Footings, spans, connectors, and 36″ frost depth criteria locked before we dig.
Build & inspections – Courteous crew, tidy site, pass inspections.
Care plan – Cleaning/maintenance tuned to 80015’s sun + snow rhythm.
Real talk: We’re not the cheapest. We are the team whose decks still look great after a March dump and a Quincy-breeze July.
