Lone Tree, CO · Family-owned
Owner-built by Jon & Janessa LangCustom patio covers built for Lone Tree — a real roof for Hail Alley hail, shade from the strong mountain sun, and snow load done right. Built by Jon & Janessa Lang.
Built for Lone Tree
We've built from the gated streets of Heritage Hills to the modern blocks of RidgeGate — and a patio cover here has to earn its keep. Lone Tree sits at about 6,000 feet, right in Hail Alley, under strong mountain sun and heavy winter snow.
A real roof over your patio does three things at once: it keeps the hail off your patio and your furniture, it gives you shade from the strong high-up sun, and — built right — it holds Lone Tree snow. If you're tired of patching things after every hailstorm, this is the answer.
“Colorado Elite Outdoor Contractors completed an incredible covered deck for us. Jon and Janessa were very professional, open, honest and communicative. They were great to work with.”

A cover up here is a roof. It has to take the hail, the sun, the snow, and pass the city and your HOA. We build for all of it.
The clay under Lone Tree swells up when it gets wet. That's what pushes posts up out of the ground. We set the posts down deep, past the clay, to solid ground, so a wet spring can't lift your cover.
A patio cover here is a roof, so it has to hold heavy Lone Tree snow. We size the frame and posts for the snow load, so it stays strong and safe every winter — not just on warm days.
Lone Tree sits in Hail Alley, and hail hits harder up at altitude. That's the whole point of a cover — a real roof keeps the hail off your patio. It also blocks the strong high-up sun so a hot patio is usable.
Lone Tree runs its own city building office (720-390-5211), not Douglas County, so your cover permit comes from the city. Your HOA — like the strict Design Review Committee in gated Heritage Hills — 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.”

After a few hundred Front Range builds, the requests from this city are predictable in the best way. Odds are yours is on this list — and we've already solved it.
This is the big one. Lone Tree sits in Hail Alley, and folks are tired of patching the patio and replacing furniture after every storm. We build a real roof — solid or louvered — so the hail hits the cover and your patio stays clean.
The sun is strong at 6,000 feet, and a west-facing patio bakes all afternoon. A cover gives you real shade so you can actually sit out there in July — and an aluminum louvered cover lets you open it up when you want the sun.
A cover here is a roof, so it has to hold the winter snow. We size the frame and posts for the snow load and set the posts deep in the clay, so it stays strong and safe season after season.
Lots of homes back the Bluffs Regional Park, the Lone Tree golf course, or open space. We build the cover and its posts so you stay shaded and protected but still keep that Longs-Peak-to-Pikes-Peak view wide open.
In gated Heritage Hills, nothing gets built until the Design Review Committee approves the plans, materials and colors — and the HOA has to say yes before the city will permit. We've done that paperwork before and handle it for you.
Often the cover is one piece of a bigger plan — a covered patio, a deck, a fire pit, the whole backyard done at once. We design and build it all together so it looks like one finished outdoor space, not parts bolted on.
