Parker, CO · Family-owned
Owner-built by Jon & Janessa LangCovered patios built for Parker — shade from the strong sun and a real roof for Hail Alley hail and snow. Built by Jon & Janessa Lang.
Built for Parker
Parker sits at about 5,900 feet on the Palmer Divide, right in Hail Alley, under strong mountain sun. A bare patio bakes all afternoon in summer and takes a beating every time a big storm rolls through. A real roof over it fixes both — shade when it's hot, and cover when it hails or snows.
We build patio covers that are a true roof on solid posts, not a flimsy add-on. That's what lets it shrug off the hail, shed the snow, and still look like it was part of the house from day one.
“Colorado Elite Outdoor Contractors completed an incredible covered deck for us. Jon and Janessa were very professional, open, honest and communicative.”

Most patio covers fail for the same few reasons — the hail, the snow, the sun, or a skipped permit. We build for all of them.
Parker sits right in Hail Alley and gets some of the worst hail anywhere. A real roof over your patio takes the hits so your patio, table, and grill don't — and so you're not patching damage after every big summer storm.
We size the frame and roof for Parker snow, up here on the Palmer Divide. It sheds the snow the right way instead of holding a heavy load — which is what flattens a cover that was built too light.
The strong sun makes a bare patio too hot to use on an afternoon — a cover gives you real shade. And like a deck, the posts go down deep, past the clay that lifts when it gets wet, so the cover stays put.
The Town of Parker needs a permit for a patio cover, the same as a deck. We pull it online for you. Out in The Pinery and Pradera, it's a Douglas County permit instead. We also fill out the HOA form for places like Stonegate and Pradera.
“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 town are predictable in the best way. Odds are yours is on this list — and we've already solved it.
The most common call: a bare concrete patio that bakes in the sun and takes hail every summer. We add a real roof on solid posts so you get shade, cover from the hail, and a spot you can actually use all season.
On the treed lots in The Pinery and Pradera, lots of homes already have a deck. We build the cover right over it so you keep the deck and gain shade and a roof — after we check the footings can carry the extra weight.
If you've had to replace patio furniture, a grill, or roof after a Parker storm, a covered patio is the fix. The roof takes the hits, so the next big hail doesn't start it all over.
In Stroh Ranch, Clarke Farms and Cottonwood, plenty of patios face the afternoon sun and get too hot to sit on. A cover gives you real shade and drops the heat so the patio works on a summer evening.
In Stonegate, nothing gets built until the Modifications Committee approves the plans, materials and colors. We've done that paperwork before and handle it for you, same in Pradera and Canterberry Crossing.
Out at Colorado Golf Club and Pradera the lots run one to five acres, the permit goes through Douglas County, and the covers are big — built for the wind off the open space and matched to the home.
