If your “temporary” patio table has survived two Aurora windstorms and a Cherry Creek State Park picnic migration, it’s time. Colorado Elite Outdoor Contractors designs and builds decks that fit Aurora living—weekday jogs on the High Line Canal, lake days at Aurora Reservoir, and long, golden evenings when the grill refuses to quit.
Engineered for local code + climate. We size framing and footings to city criteria—36″ frost depth and 40 psf ground snow load—so your deck stands up to freeze–thaw and those famous Front Range spring dumps. (Yep, March is typically Denver’s snowiest month.)
Permit pros (hello, eTRAKiT + Aurora4Biz). Aurora runs permitting online; we prepare plans, submit through the city portals, and schedule inspections so you don’t have to play phone tag.
Electrical-ready. Adding step lights, outlets, or a ceiling fan under a cover? Aurora enforces the 2023 NEC—we include electrical in your submittal package and coordinate inspections.
Weather-smart materials. With about 243 sunny days a year and legit winter storms, Aurora decks need UV- and moisture-resistant solutions. We help you compare composite/PVC vs. premium wood for your sun exposure and snow pattern.
Neighborhood know-how. From Tallyn’s Reach and Saddle Rock to the Stanley Marketplace area bungalows, we design decks that feel “meant to be” on your block—clean lines, right colors, HOA-friendly details.
Custom deck design & installation – single/multi-level, walkouts, under-deck drainage
Composite & PVC decks – low-maintenance boards that shrug off sun and slush
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 at Southlands is fun; eating on full-sun decking… less so

Plan a spring build and your deck’s ready for High Line Canal evenings and Stanley Marketplace snack runs. Prefer fall? We’ll pace permits/inspections so you’re hosting comfortably when the cottonwoods go gold.
Sightlines & privacy: Near Aurora Reservoir or along the Canal? We mix privacy panels with “view windows” so you keep the water/foothill feel—without the fishbowl.
On-site consult & design – Measure, check setbacks/easements, and produce options you can picture.
Permits & plan review – We assemble drawings, specs, and materials; submit via eTRAKiT/Aurora4Biz; track review and schedule inspections.
Engineering & code check – Footings, spans, connectors, and snow/frost criteria are locked before we dig.
Build & inspections – Courteous crew, tidy site, pass inspections.
Care plan – Cleaning/maintenance tips tailored to Aurora’s sun + snow rhythm.
Real talk: We’re not the cheapest. We are the team whose decks still look great after a March storm and a July heat wave.
Snow-smart details: Slight surface pitch, proper board gapping, and ice-savvy stair layouts—especially with March’s big snows.
Low-profile rails: Keep those High Line Canal sunsets and Aurora Reservoir blues in frame.
Under-deck dry systems: Turn that lower patio into a real, usable room—perfect for post-Southlands movie nights.
