Built for Lone Tree
We've built from the gated streets of Heritage Hills to the modern blocks of RidgeGate — and the ground up here doesn't forgive shortcuts. Lone Tree sits at about 6,000 feet, on clay that swells up when it gets wet, under strong mountain sun and some of the worst hail in the country.
Here's the honest part most companies skip: an open pergola — slats and beams — gives you great shade and looks beautiful, but it's open to the sky, so it does not stop hail or rain. If you want to stay dry and beat the hail, you want an aluminum louvered top that closes, or a solid patio cover. We'll show you both and let you pick.
“You're not going to find a better contractor. They use the best products, top-line carpenters, quality can't be beat!”

Most pergola problems here trace back to the soil, the sun, or a skipped permit. We build for all three — and we're straight with you about what an open pergola can and can't do.
The clay under Lone Tree swells up when it gets wet. That's what pushes a pergola up and out of square. We dig the posts down deep to solid ground, so a wet spring can't lift it.
We size the frame for Lone Tree snow, and for the way it freezes cold at night and thaws by day at 6,000 feet. That back-and-forth slowly loosens the bolts on a pergola built for warmer places.
Honest answer: an open pergola gives shade, but it's open to the sky, so it won't stop hail or rain. Want cover too? We build aluminum louvered tops that close, or a solid patio cover. We'll show you both.
Lone Tree runs its own city building office (720-390-5211), not Douglas County, so your pergola 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.
“Colorado Elite knocked it out of the park. Amazing service and by far the hardest working crew, Derik is the man!!! Every hole plugged and not a detail overlooked — super impressed with you guys.”
Guy ScharffWhat we see in Lone Tree yards
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.
The most common call: a hot, west-facing deck or patio that bakes all afternoon. A pergola breaks the strong mountain sun so you can actually use the space at 4 in the afternoon in July.
We're honest with you up front. An open pergola gives shade but is open to the sky — no hail or rain cover. If you want to stay dry and beat the hail, we build aluminum louvered tops that close, or a solid patio cover instead.
Lots of pergolas here pair with a privacy wall or screen, so close neighbors aren't looking right into your space. We design the wall to match the pergola and fit what your HOA allows.
On the lots that back the Bluffs Regional Park or open space, the view is the whole point. We place and size the pergola to give you shade and still keep your view open from Longs Peak to Pikes Peak.
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 pergola is one piece of a bigger build — a new deck or patio, a fire pit, an outdoor kitchen. We design it all to work together so it looks like it was always meant to be there.
