Aurora, CO · Family-owned
Owner-built by Jon & Janessa LangCustom decks built for SE Aurora — clay soil, strong sun, hail, and your HOA. Built by Jon & Janessa Lang.
Built for SE Aurora
We've built from the lake lots in Southshore to the golf lots in Blackstone — and the ground out here doesn't forgive shortcuts. The SE Aurora suburbs sit up around 6,000 feet, on clay that swells up when it gets wet, under strong sun and the hail this part of Colorado is known for.
Decks fail here in the same three ways: the clay pushes the posts up and pulls the deck off the house, the sun fades and cracks cheap boards in a couple summers, and tall railings block the reservoir or Front Range view you moved out here for. We build so yours doesn't do any of those.
“After researching several local companies, they were the clear winner. The quality far exceeded the cost — craftsmanship in every square inch.”
Dale Maxey · Custom deckBuilt for Aurora conditions
Most deck failures here trace back to the soil, the sun, or a skipped permit. We build for all three.
The clay under SE Aurora swells up when it gets wet. That's what pushes a deck up and pulls it off the house. We dig the posts down deep, about three feet, to solid ground, so a wet spring can't lift it.
We size the frame for Aurora snow, and for the way it freezes cold at night and thaws by day. That back-and-forth slowly loosens the screws on a deck built for warmer places.
The Front Range sits in what folks call Hail Alley, and the sun out here is hard on cheap boards. We use tougher capped composite and build covered decks for folks tired of fixing hail damage.
The City of Aurora runs its own building office (303-739-7420) and permits the whole city — not the county. Your HOA in Blackstone, Southshore or Saddle Rock has to say yes first. We pull the permit and fill out the HOA form for you.
“The inspector was impressed by their system and mentioned this deck is built to withstand a hurricane.”
Dominic ValenzuelaWhat we see in Aurora yards
After a few hundred Front Range builds, the deck requests from SE Aurora are predictable in the best way. Odds are yours is on this list — and we've already solved it.
The SE Aurora suburbs are full of walkout lots, where the main floor sits a full story above the backyard. We build decks that step down, level by level, to the yard — not one tall deck you need a long flight of stairs to get off of.
On the higher lots in Tallyn's Reach and the homes near the Aurora Reservoir, you can see the Front Range and even Pikes Peak. We use thin cable or metal railing so the railing almost disappears — and the view doesn't.
On golf or reservoir lots in Blackstone, Southshore and Beacon Point, the city wants an open iron view fence at the back. We build your deck and railing to match it, so the whole back of the yard looks like one design.
If you've had to replace a deck board or a roof after a storm, you're not alone out here. We build covered decks and pergolas, and use tougher boards, so the next big hail doesn't start it all over.
In Aurora your HOA approves the plans, materials and colors before the city will permit. Southshore even tells you which stains are allowed. We've done that paperwork before and handle it for you.
A lot of folks here want more than a deck — a deck with a covered area, an outdoor kitchen, and a fire feature, all built at once. One crew, one schedule, and it all matches when we're done.
Verified Google reviews
Real, verified reviews from real Colorado yards. The same names come up again and again: Jon, Janessa, and a crew that takes pride in the details.
“These guys were great! We had them tear out our very old deck and build a new much bigger deck. They are VERY focused on quality builds. They showed up every day exactly when they said. Our new deck is AWESOME — love the TimberTech too.”
“Jon was very easy to work with and always on time. We chose to do a picture-frame design with black railing. Very happy! Would do business again with him and highly recommend them!”
“We had Jon, Andrew, and Derrick rebuild our deck. The crew was always on time and professional. Jon designed a creative privacy wall for us and delivered on all his promises. We enjoy it every day!”
