Castle Rock, CO · Family-owned
Owner-built by Jon & Janessa LangFire pits, outdoor kitchens, seating walls, covered patios, and full backyard builds — outdoor rooms made for Castle Rock. Built for our clay, strong sun, and hail, and ready for your HOA. Built by Jon & Janessa Lang.
Built for the Rock
We build outdoor living spaces all over Castle Rock — from the walkout lots off Meadows Parkway to the gated streets of Castle Pines Village. Up here, your backyard isn't just grass. It's a fire pit on a fall night, a kitchen for game day, and a covered spot that frames Pikes Peak and Devil's Head.
But the ground and the weather don't make it easy. Castle Rock sits at about 6,200 feet, on clay that swells up and lifts footings, under strong mountain sun and some of the worst hail in the country. We build outdoor rooms that handle all of it — and we get the town and your HOA to say yes first.
“We were in desperate need of a new deck and patio (and just for fun we threw a custom fire pit into the mix). Our backyard has been transformed and we have John and Janessa to thank for that.”
jasonthomas93 · Deck, patio & fire pitBuilt for Castle Rock
Most outdoor spaces fail here for the same reasons: the clay, the strong sun, the hail, or a skipped permit. We build for all of it.
The clay under Castle Rock swells up about 10% when it gets wet — enough to crack a patio or push a fire pit out of place. We set footings down deep to solid ground and build on a solid base, so a wet spring can't lift it.
Up at 6,200 feet the sun is strong, and it fades and cracks cheap surfaces fast. We use tough, fade-proof materials for kitchens, counters, and covers, so your space still looks new after a few hard Castle Rock summers.
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 build covered patios so your kitchen, fire pit, and furniture stay out of the storm.
We pull your town permit online through eTRAKiT and we're signed up with Castle Rock's Building Division (720-733-3527). 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 and The Meadows.
“The inspector was impressed by their system and mentioned this deck is built to withstand a hurricane.”
Dominic ValenzuelaWhat we see in Castle Rock backyards
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.
A gas or wood fire pit turns a cold Castle Rock evening into the best seat in the yard. We build it on a solid base that won't crack or shift in the clay, and run the gas line the right way with the town permit handled.
A built-in grill, counter, and storage means you're not running in and out of the house. We build outdoor kitchens with tough surfaces that take the strong 6,200-foot sun and the hail, and tuck them under a cover so you can use them in any weather.
On the view 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 build low seating walls that give you extra seats without blocking your look at the mountains.
If you've patched a roof or a deck after a Castle Rock storm, you're not alone. We build covered patios so you get shade in the summer and a roof over your head when the hail comes — and the whole space survives the next big one.
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.
A lot of folks here want a deck, a fire pit, a kitchen, and a cover all together — one outdoor room that flows. One crew, one schedule, one bill — and it all matches when we're done.
