How Superior Decks & Pergolas Builds Composite Decks in Lakewood

When you get a composite deck from us, you're getting a complete outdoor living solution. We handle everything from the initial design and material selection to framing, installation, and finishing touches. This means we build the entire structure, including the joists, posts, and railings, using high-quality composite decking boards and fasteners. We make sure it's built right, ready for you to enjoy for years.

Our process starts with understanding what you need and how you'll use your deck. We'll talk about size, layout, colors, and any special features you want. Then we get to work, making sure the foundation is solid and the framing is strong. We lay the composite boards precisely, securing them so they're safe and look good. We don't cut corners; we build decks that last, plain and simple.

Composite decks are a smart choice for Lakewood homes because they handle our climate well. We get hot summers, cold winters, and plenty of sun exposure. Wood decks can warp, crack, and fade fast here, but composite materials hold their color and shape much better. You won't be spending every spring sanding and staining, which is a big win when you'd rather be out enjoying the mountains.

Homeowners often ask about the cost difference compared to wood. While composite materials usually cost more upfront, you save a lot on maintenance over the deck's lifespan. You won't need to buy stains, sealers, or spend weekends on upkeep. It's an investment that pays off in time saved and a deck that looks good year after year with minimal effort.

Why Choose Composite Decks for Your Lakewood Home?

Composite decks are a solid choice for Lakewood because they're built to withstand our specific weather challenges. We see everything from intense summer sun that fades wood fast to heavy snow loads in winter. Traditional wood decks can take a beating, leading to warping, splintering, and rot if not maintained constantly. Composite materials are engineered to resist these issues, keeping your deck looking good without the constant work.

Our local climate, with its freeze-thaw cycles, can be tough on outdoor structures. Composite decking doesn't absorb moisture like wood, so it's less prone to expansion and contraction that causes damage over time. You won't have to worry about boards cupping or screws popping out after a harsh winter. This durability means your deck stays safer and more attractive for longer, right here in Lakewood.

Beyond durability, composite decks offer a low-maintenance lifestyle that fits the Lakewood way. People here want to spend their free time hiking, biking, or enjoying the outdoors, not staining their deck. With composite, you just need a simple cleaning a couple of times a year. It frees up your weekends and gives you more time to do what you love, knowing your deck is holding up.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to install a composite deck in Lakewood?

A typical composite deck installation in Lakewood usually takes about 1-3 weeks from start to finish, depending on the size and complexity. This timeline includes framing, decking, and railing installation, but doesn't count the design and permitting phase. Weather delays can sometimes extend the project, especially during our snowy winters or rainy springs.

Do composite decks get hotter than wood decks in the Lakewood sun?

Yes, some composite deck boards can get hotter than traditional wood decks, especially darker colors, when exposed to direct Lakewood sun. Lighter colored composite materials tend to absorb less heat. We can recommend specific brands and colors that are designed to stay cooler, or suggest shade solutions like pergolas to make your deck more comfortable.

What kind of maintenance does a composite deck require in Lakewood?

Composite decks require very little maintenance in Lakewood; you won't need to sand, stain, or seal them. The main thing is to clean them periodically with soap and water to remove dirt, pollen, or any mildew that might accumulate. We recommend doing this once or twice a year, especially after the spring thaw, to keep your deck looking its best.

Is a permit required for building a composite deck in Lakewood, CO?

Yes, a building permit is almost always required for new deck construction or significant deck modifications in Lakewood, CO. This includes composite decks, just like wooden ones. We handle all the necessary paperwork and ensure your deck design and construction meet all local building codes and safety regulations before we start any work.
