Saddle Rock, Aurora CO · Family-owned
Owner-built by Jon & Janessa LangCustom decks built for Saddle Rock — deep clay, golf-course view lots, heavy hail, and your HOA ACC. Built by Jon & Janessa Lang.
Built for Saddle Rock
We've built from the golf-course lots around the Saddle Rock course to the family streets in Saddle Rock Ridge — and the ground in SE Aurora doesn't forgive shortcuts. The lots up here are deep clay that swells when it gets wet, the sun and hail are hard on a backyard, and the homes near the course have rules about what you can build.
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 a tall railing blocks the fairway view you paid 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 Saddle Rock conditions
Most deck failures here trace back to the deep clay, the sun, or a skipped permit. We build for all three.
The clay under Saddle Rock swells up when it gets wet. That's what pushes a deck up and pulls it off the house. We set the posts down about three feet, past the clay to solid ground, so a wet spring can't lift it.
We size the frame for the snow up here, 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 gets some of the worst hail in the country, and the strong sun fades cheap wood fast. We use tougher boards and build covered decks for folks near the golf course tired of fixing hail damage.
Saddle Rock is inside the City of Aurora, so a deck permit goes through Aurora's own building office (303-739-7420), not the county. Your ACC — Saddle Rock Golf, Saddle Rock Ridge, or Saddle Rock Ranches — has to say yes first. We handle both.
“The inspector was impressed by their system and mentioned this deck is built to withstand a hurricane.”
Dominic ValenzuelaWhat we see in Saddle Rock yards
After a few hundred Front Range builds, the requests from this community are predictable in the best way. Odds are yours is on this list — and we've already solved it.
A lot of Saddle Rock homes sit on walkout lots, where the main floor is 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 lots that back the Saddle Rock Golf Course or the open space, the whole reason you bought the house is that view. We use thin cable or metal railing so the railing almost disappears — and the fairway and the Front Range don't.
A lot of the original Saddle Rock decks from the late '90s and 2000s 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 Front Range storm, you're not alone. We build covered decks and louvered pergolas, and use tougher boards, so the next big hail doesn't start it all over.
Saddle Rock has more than one HOA — Saddle Rock Golf, Saddle Rock Ridge, and Saddle Rock Ranches. Each ACC checks plans, materials and colors a little differently. We know which one approves your street and handle the form for you.
Folks here often want the deck and the shade together — a covered section, a louvered pergola, or an outdoor kitchen worked into the build. One crew, one design, so it all lines up instead of looking added on later.
