Colorado Elite Outdoor Contractors designs and builds decks that fit Parker living—sun-soaked summer afternoons, surprise spring snow, and everything in between. We know how folks here actually use their outdoor space—and we build for it.
Local weather-proofed builds. Douglas County requires footings to extend below the frost line—a minimum of 36 inches—and snow-load design varies by elevation (Parker typically falls in the 30–35 psf range). We engineer your deck accordingly so heaving and sagging aren’t in your future.
Sun + snow = smart materials. With 242+ sunny days and real winter snow, Parker decks take a beating. We help you weigh composite vs. premium treated lumber so your surface won’t fade, splinter, or get slick when that April storm rolls through.
Permit-savvy. If your project needs town inspections—or you’re adding lighting/outlets—there are specific rules (e.g., deck electrical often needs a separate permit/inspection). We handle the paperwork and scheduling so you don’t have to learn eTRAKiT the hard way.
Neighborhood know-how. From Stonegate to Stroh Ranch and tee-box views near Black Bear Golf Club, we’re familiar with common HOA standards and sightlines—and how to make a deck look “meant to be” on your block.
Custom deck design & installation – multi-level, view decks, walkouts, under-deck dry systems
Composite & PVC decks – fade- and stain-resistant options sized for Parker’s UV and snow cycles
Premium wood decks – kiln-dried framing, hidden fasteners, high-performance stains
Railings & lighting – code-compliant profiles, step lights, post caps, low-glare ambience
Stairs, landings & gates – safe, sturdy, winter-friendly treads
Pergolas & shade – because July sun on the Cherry Creek Trail is fun—on your deck, less so
Plan a spring build and your deck’s ready for Parker Days in June—prime time for backyard music, neighbors, and the annual “whose brisket wins” debate. If your heart is set on fall views over Rueter-Hess Reservoir, we can stage materials and get you hosting by tailgate season.
On-site consult & design – We measure, check setbacks/easements, and sketch options you can picture. Permit & HOA support – We produce drawings and handle submittals; you get status updates without the hold music.
Town of Parker Engineering & code check – Footings, spans, connectors, and snow/frost criteria are locked before we dig.
Douglas County +1 Build & inspections – Clean site, courteous crew, pass inspections, final walkthrough.
Care plan – Materials-specific cleaning and seasonal tips so it keeps looking day-one fresh.
Our Damaging admission:
We’re not the cheapest. But we build decks that look great in year 1 and year 10, and we’ll still pick up the phone next spring.
South/west sun control: Add a pergola or slatted screen—keeps late-day glare tame without blocking Front Range sunsets.
Snow-smart details: Slight surface pitch, proper gapping, and metal-sheathed stringers where drifting happens.
Trail-adjacent privacy: If you’re along the Cherry Creek Regional Trail, mix privacy rail panels with view windows for the best of both.
Golf-course quiet: Near Black Bear, low-profile railings keep sightlines open—and the occasional “fore!” in view
