Decking
When it comes to building a deck in Colorado, the choice of materials is crucial, given the state's diverse climate conditions. You have options like pressure-treated wood, cedar, or even traditional composite decking. However, we highly recommend Deckorator's mineral-based composite decking as the superior choice for several compelling reasons.
Why Choose Deckorator's Mineral-Based Composite Decking?
Enhanced Durability: Unlike traditional materials, Deckorator's mineral-based composite decking is engineered to withstand the Colorado climate, be it heavy snowfall or intense sunlight.
Low Maintenance: Say goodbye to frequent staining and sealing. Deckorator's composite material is designed for low upkeep, allowing you to enjoy your outdoor space rather than maintaining it.
Aesthetically Pleasing: Deckorator's offers a range of colors and finishes that mimic the natural beauty of wood but without the associated drawbacks like warping, splitting, or rotting.
Eco-Friendly: Built with sustainable materials, Deckorator's decking not only enhances your outdoor space but also is kind to the environment.
Innovative Features: From slip-resistant surfaces to hidden fastener systems, Deckorator's pays attention to every detail, ensuring your deck is not only beautiful but also functional.
How Does It Compare to Trex Decking?
While Trex Decking is a well-known name in the industry and offers quality composite materials, Deckorator's mineral-based composite decking takes it a step further. With its cutting-edge technology and advanced features, Deckorator's outperforms Trex when it comes to durability, aesthetic choices, and innovative design options.
By choosing Deckorator's for your custom deck, you're investing in a product that combines the latest technology with enduring beauty, creating the perfect outdoor oasis suited to Colorado's unique environmental conditions.

Absolutely, obtaining a building permit is a critical step when planning to construct a new deck in Colorado. Permitting ensures that your deck meets local building codes and safety regulations, which is crucial for both the longevity of the project and for potential future home sales. However, we understand that navigating this bureaucratic process can be confusing and time-consuming for homeowners.
How Freedom Contractors Handles the Permitting Process for You:
Initial Assessment: During our consultation, we evaluate your project's scope to determine the specific permits you'll need. This might include building permits, zoning permits, and even historic preservation approvals in certain areas.
Documentation Preparation: We handle all the paperwork, from site plans to structural specifications, making sure to adhere to local Colorado building codes.
Submission & Follow-Up: Once the documentation is ready, we submit the permit application on your behalf. We also keep track of the application's status and respond to any inquiries or additional requirements from the permitting office.
Inspections: After the permit is approved and construction is underway, inspections are usually required at various phases. We coordinate these inspections to make sure they align with our construction schedule, ensuring a seamless process.
Final Approval: After all inspections are complete and have met the necessary criteria, we secure the final approval, signifying that your new deck is officially ready for you to enjoy!
By entrusting your decking project to Freedom Contractors, you're not only receiving a high-quality custom deck but also the peace of mind that all permits and inspections are handled efficiently and professionally. Our end-to-end service means you can focus on envisioning your dream outdoor space, while we take care of the nitty-gritty details.
