Composite Decks built for Cheyenne Mountain homes
Composite decking is the low-maintenance answer to Cheyenne Mountain's climate — afternoon mountain shade with periodic canyon downslope winds, plus the UV load at 6,300 ft that fades untreated wood in a few seasons. Capped composite lines hold color well, don't splinter, and need a rinse instead of a re-stain every year.
We install composite tops over a proper pressure-treated substructure. When the build calls for it, we can spec hidden fasteners, joist tape, and picture-frame borders — the details that make composite last.

Composite Decks FAQs — Cheyenne Mountain
+ Which composite works best for Cheyenne Mountain?
At 6,300 ft the biggest concerns are UV fade and heat gain. We steer clients toward mid-tone boards on south- and west-facing decks in Cheyenne Mountain's morning sun with early evening shade off the mountain, and we bring samples to the on-site visit.
+ Is composite worth it compared to cedar in Cheyenne Mountain?
For most Cheyenne Mountain homeowners, yes — cedar looks great but typically needs a re-stain every 1–2 years thanks to afternoon mountain shade with periodic canyon downslope winds and high-altitude UV. Composite needs far less upkeep and holds its finish over time.
+ Does composite hold up to Cheyenne Mountain's weather?
The board itself is the easy part; the substructure is where quality shows up. We frame every Cheyenne Mountain composite deck for the local climate and follow the composite maker's joist-spacing spec.
+ Can you install composite over my existing frame in Cheyenne Mountain?
Only if the frame is sound and spaced correctly for composite. We inspect first — many older Cheyenne Mountain decks are joisted at 24" o.c., which is too wide for most composite lines. If it's close, we sister joists; if not, we reframe.
+ Do you install hidden fasteners and picture-frame borders in Cheyenne Mountain?
Yes — both are standard on our composite installs. A picture-frame border cleans up cut ends, and hidden clips keep the surface fastener-free.
+ How long does a composite deck last in Cheyenne Mountain?
Manufacturer warranties vary by product line — we walk through the current options at the on-site visit. A properly framed substructure and a well-installed composite top hold up for a long time in Cheyenne Mountain's climate with minimal upkeep.
