Custom Decks in Englewood, CO
Englewood backyards run compact, and that's a design brief, not a limitation. A well-planned deck on a small lot outperforms a sprawling one on an acre — every square foot earns its place.
Deck Design & Materials for Englewood Lots
Small-lot decks live on proportion: benches doubling as railing, stairs turned to save yard, storage tucked under the frame where the mower actually fits. On the low single-story rooflines common here, we keep deck massing low too, so the house still leads and the deck supports.
Old Houses, Modern Connections
Postwar framing takes ledgers differently than new construction — rim boards vary, sheathing surprises, and old brick veneer needs standoff hardware rather than wishful lag bolts. We open, verify, and fasten to what's really in the wall, and the City of Englewood's inspector checks work we're glad to show.
Building Your Deck in Englewood
Alley access changes logistics for the better: materials come in the back, the front yard stays untouched, and neighbors on tight blocks barely register the build. Demo out one day, framing up the next.

Yes, with the right detail: brick veneer never carries a ledger directly, so we either fasten through to the structural framing behind it with engineered standoffs or set the deck freestanding an inch off the wall. Both pass inspection; guessing doesn't.
They can on compact lots — decks over certain heights count toward coverage and setbacks apply. We check your zoning math before drawing, so the design you fall in love with is one the City will stamp.
