How Aurora Pro Deck Builders Works
Aurora Pro Deck Builders puts up new decks, fixes tired ones and refinishes old wood for homeowners in Aurora and the east Denver metro. Our work covers composite and wood decks, pergolas and roofed covers, new guards and steps, and fresh stain on existing wood.
A deck on the high plains has to deal with conditions that a deck in a milder place never sees. The City of Aurora's engineering design criteria call for foundations at least 36 inches deep for frost, a 34 psf ground snow load and a 115 mph design wind speed for typical homes. The sun at 5,400-plus feet is stronger than at sea level, and spring and summer storms bring hail. We plan the footings, framing, fasteners and materials around those facts instead of treating every deck as the same box of lumber.
The first step is always an in-person visit. We measure, look at how the deck will tie into the house, check the grade and drainage, note where utilities and easements might run, and ask what the deck is for: dining, grilling, a hot tub, a play area. Your itemized quote then spells out the dimensions, the decking and railing products, the footing and framing plan, the permit work and the price. Nothing begins until you sign off, and any change after that is written down and approved by you first.
How we build
- Permit drawings and a plot plan prepared for the City of Aurora or your local building department when the deck needs one.
- Footings dug and poured to the depth the code and the design require, not to a guess.
- Ledger boards flashed and bolted to the house framing, never nailed to siding.
- Hidden or face fasteners chosen to match the decking manufacturer's instructions.
- HOA approval paperwork assembled with you before the build is scheduled.
- A final walk-through with you, and the city's inspections passed before the job is called finished.
