Deck Builder and Outdoor Carpentry in Englewood, CO

LTA Construct builds decks, covered porches, cedar columns, tongue-and-groove porch ceilings and pergolas across Englewood and the south Denver metro. A typical deck takes one to three weeks to build once the permit is issued.

Outdoor carpentry in Colorado has to survive 300 days of sun, freeze-thaw cycles and dry winter air. Material choice and fastening details matter more here than almost anywhere. Luke builds for that climate.

The cedar-wrapped porch columns and tongue-and-groove porch ceilings in the projects section are the kind of exterior detail that changes how a house reads from the street. A reviewer who hired him for a custom deck called the work impeccable.

What’s included

  • Wood and composite decks
  • Deck railings, stairs and built-in benches
  • Covered porches and patio roofs
  • Tongue-and-groove cedar ceilings
  • Cedar column wraps and exterior trim
  • Pergolas and privacy screens
  • Deck repair, resurfacing and railing replacement
  • Permits and inspections

How long it takes

Deck repair or railing: 2 to 5 days. New deck: 1 to 3 weeks after permit. Covered porch or pergola: 2 to 4 weeks.

Timelines are typical for the south Denver metro and depend on material lead times. No prices are listed on this site because every project is different; the cost and timeline guide explains what moves the number.

Questions people ask

Wood or composite?

Composite for low maintenance and a long warranty, cedar or redwood if you want real wood and will seal it. Luke will lay out the cost and upkeep difference for your deck size.

Do decks need a permit?

In most metro cities, yes, above a certain height or size. Luke pulls it and schedules the inspections.

Can you repair instead of replace?

Often. If the framing is sound, new decking and railings cost a fraction of a rebuild. He will tell you honestly which one you have.

How does cedar hold up here?

Very well when it is sealed and detailed to shed water. See the cedar entry in the materials library.
