Castle Rock, CO · Family-owned
Owner-built by Jon & Janessa LangCustom decks built for Castle Rock — clay soil, strong mountain sun, heavy snow, and your HOA. Built by Jon & Janessa Lang.
Built for the Rock
We've built from the walkout lots off Meadows Parkway to the gated streets of Castle Pines Village — and the ground up here doesn't forgive shortcuts. Castle Rock sits at about 6,200 feet, on clay that swells up when it gets wet, under strong mountain sun and some of the worst hail in the country.
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 two summers, and tall railings block the view you moved up 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 Castle Rock conditions
Most deck failures here trace back to the soil, the sun, or a skipped permit. We build for all three.
The clay under Castle Rock swells up about 10% when it gets wet. That's what pushes a deck up and pulls it off the house. We dig the posts down deep to solid ground, so a wet spring can't lift it.
We size the frame for Castle Rock snow, and for the way it freezes cold at night and thaws by day at 6,200 feet. That back-and-forth slowly loosens the screws on a deck built for warmer places.
Castle Rock gets some of the worst hail anywhere — over 100 hailstorms within ten miles since 2004, and the big 1990 storm that hit Founders Village is still the one people talk about. We use tougher boards and build covered decks for folks tired of fixing hail damage.
We pull your town permit online and we're signed up with Castle Rock's building office. Out in Bell Mountain Ranch or Keene Ranch, it's a Douglas County permit instead. We also fill out the design form for places like The Village at Castle Pines.
“The inspector was impressed by their system and mentioned this deck is built to withstand a hurricane.”
Dominic ValenzuelaWhat we see in Castle Rock yards
After a few hundred Front Range builds, the requests from this town are predictable in the best way. Odds are yours is on this list — and we've already solved it.
The Meadows, Crystal Valley Ranch and The Canyons 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 hilltop lots in Red Hawk, Sapphire Pointe and the south end of Crystal Valley, the whole reason you bought the house is Pikes Peak and Devil's Head. We use thin cable or metal railing so the railing almost disappears — and the view doesn't.
Founders Village and Plum Creek were built in the '90s, and a lot of those first decks are splitting, warping, and pulling loose. We tear out the old one, seal the new one to the house the right way, and rebuild it bigger in composite.
If you've had to replace a roof or a deck board after a Castle Rock storm, you're not alone. We build covered decks and pergolas, and use tougher boards, so the next big hail doesn't start it all over.
In The Village at Castle Pines, nothing gets built until a design committee approves the plans, materials and colors. We've done that paperwork before and handle it for you — same with the design review in The Meadows and Cobblestone Ranch.
Out in Bell Mountain Ranch and Keene Ranch the lots are measured in acres, the permit goes through Douglas County instead of the town, and the decks are big — wrap-around, with a few separate areas, built for the wind off the open space.
