WE USE THE BEST MATERIALS TO GIVE YOU A LONGER-LASTING DECK IN LAFAYETTE, CO
The Rocky Mountains are renowned for their breathtaking beauty. As experienced deck builders in Lafayette, Colorado, we specialize in constructing custom decks that perfectly complement the picturesque Colorado landscape and endure the challenging Rocky Mountain weather.
How do we achieve this? By utilizing high-quality pressure-treated LVL or steel for the deck’s frame, our skilled general contractors maximize structural integrity and resilience. Additionally, we enhance durability by implementing 12-inch spacing for center joints instead of the standard 16 inches, creating an even stronger foundation.
Plus, we get the best composite decking materials possible by offering decks from reputable companies like Trex, TimberTech, and Deckorators. With all of these, plus an industry-leading two-year labor warranty on every installation, you can be confident that we’ll deliver your dream deck and that it will last as long as possible!
OUR ONCE-A-WEEK PROMISE
Constructing a top-quality deck requires time and dedication. Therefore, when you seek a professional decking team in Colorado, it’s crucial to find someone who values clear communication. Few things are more frustrating than working with a deck contractor that fails to provide regular updates on progress.
At O’Keefe Built, we proudly offer the “Once-a-Week Promise” to demonstrate our dedication to communication and customer satisfaction. As part of this promise, we proactively reach out to you every week throughout the project to keep you informed about the status and timeline of your deck, as well as address any questions you may have.
Additionally, we provide a two-year labor warranty on all our installations. If you encounter any issues with your deck within this timeframe, you can rely on us to resolve them promptly and at no additional cost to you.
Deck Restoration & Upgrade Services
A well-built deck is an investment, but like any structure exposed to the elements, it requires upkeep to maintain safety and aesthetics. Suppose your deck shows signs of wear or has suffered damage from Colorado’s intense sun, fluctuating temperatures, or heavy snowfall. In that case, we offer expert restoration and upgrade services to bring it back to life.
- Resurfacing and Board Replacement—Decking boards can become cracked, warped, or discolored over time. We replace old, worn-out boards with premium composite materials that resist fading and require little maintenance. This gives your deck a fresh, modern look while enhancing its durability.
- Structural Reinforcement—Your deck’s foundation is as necessary as its surface. We inspect and reinforce weak framing, posts, and beams to ensure your deck remains safe and structurally sound for years. We can replace wood framing with steel or pressure-treated LVL for added longevity.
- Staining & Sealing for Wood Decks—Proper maintenance is essential for traditional wood decks to prevent rot, sun damage, and moisture intrusion. We provide professional staining and sealing services to extend the life of your deck and keep it looking its best.
- Under-Deck Drainage Installation – If you have a second-story deck, installing an under-deck drainage system can maximize your outdoor space by keeping the area below dry. Whether you want a covered patio, additional storage, or protection from the elements, this upgrade prevents water damage and increases usability.
Tip: Inspect your deck each spring for signs of wear. Catching minor issues early can prevent costly repairs later! If you notice loose railings, warped boards, or weakened framing, call us before the problem worsens.
