Custom Decks built for Ellicott homes
Custom decks in Ellicott start with your site — the wide-open plains east of Colorado Springs, the unobstructed sun and sky in every direction, and the farmhouses architecture of your home. We design multi-level, walk-out, and wraparound decks specifically for Ellicott lots, not from a catalog template.
Every deck we build at 6,089 ft is built for the local climate — constant wind and hail exposure — details need to be tighter than in-town. The finished deck looks like it belongs on your house because it was designed for it.

Custom Decks in Ellicott, Colorado — designed and built around your home
All Custom Deck has been the custom deck builder of choice for Ellicott homeowners for over fifteen years. We're a family-owned, fully licensed and insured contractor based in Colorado Springs, and every custom decks project we touch is designed, engineered, and built by our own in-house crew — no subcontracted framing, no rotating faces, no surprises.
That matters in Ellicott. The Pikes Peak region throws everything at an outdoor structure: 300+ days of intense high-altitude UV, heavy spring snow load, sudden hailstorms, and freeze-thaw cycles that destroy badly-installed footings. A custom decks that looks great on day one but fails in year three isn't actually a good deal — and that's the kind of shortcut work we set out to replace when we started the company.
Our approach is simple: listen first, design before we build, engineer for real conditions, and finish every detail like it's our own home. Whether you're adding a simple ground-level platform, a multi-level walkout with a covered roof, a pergola over an existing patio, or a complete outdoor-living rebuild, you'll get the same on-site attention, the same written warranty, and the same crew from kickoff to final walkthrough.
If you're comparing custom deck builders in Ellicott, ask each one for a written estimate with line-item pricing, proof of insurance, references in the neighborhood, and a written workmanship warranty. We provide all four — and we'd genuinely rather lose a bid than win it on a vague handshake.

Why Ellicott custom decks need to be built differently
Building a long-lasting custom decks in Ellicott isn't the same as building one in Dallas or Phoenix. Our crews engineer every project for Colorado's specific climate: deep frost line, heavy spring snow load, hail, and brutal year-round UV at altitude. Footings are sized and poured below the local frost depth, ledger boards are flashed properly to keep meltwater off your siding, and every fastener is rated for the temperature swings we get from October through April.
We also know the local permit offices. Whether your Ellicott home falls under El Paso County, Teller County, or a city building department, we pull the right permit the first time, meet the inspector on-site, and pass inspection — so you don't end up with a deck you can't legally use.
Snow & wind load engineering
Substructure sized for our actual snow load and 90+ mph design winds.
Frost-depth footings
Concrete piers poured below frost line so your deck doesn't heave in spring.
UV-rated finishes
Stains and sealers selected for high-altitude UV — not the generic big-box products.
Hail-tolerant materials
Composite and aluminum options chosen for hail performance, not just looks.
Wildfire-aware detailing
WUI-conscious construction details for foothill and forested lots.
Custom Decks FAQs — Ellicott
+ What size custom deck can you build on a Ellicott lot?
Anything the site allows. We've built compact back decks for Ellicott townsite cottages and multi-level wraparounds for larger Ellicott homes on wide-open plains east.
+ How do you handle the wide-open plains east of Colorado Springs on custom decks?
Steep or uneven grade in Ellicott calls for the right footing approach for sandy loam, easy on footings. We plan for it up front so there are no surprises at framing.
+ Can you match custom deck railings to my Ellicott home?
Yes. Cable, black aluminum, wood-top, and full-glass — we choose profiles that fit farmhouses. On homes near the Chico Basin Ranch nearby, view-preserving cable and glass are popular.
+ Do you build covered custom decks in Ellicott?
Regularly. With constant wind and hail exposure — details need to be tighter than in-town, a solid cover or an integrated patio roof adds months of usable time. We tie the cover into your existing roofline so it reads as original.
+ How much does a custom deck cost in Ellicott?
Cost depends on square footage, height off grade, railing choice, and how much the wide-open plains east adds to the substructure. Free on-site estimate, itemized in writing.
+ Can you preserve the the Chico Basin Ranch nearby view from the deck?
Yes — it's usually the whole reason for the build. We orient the deck, size the railings, and pick materials to keep sightlines open.
