Composite Decks built for Monument homes
Composite decking is the low-maintenance answer to Monument's climate — palmer divide climate — snow arrives earlier and stays longer than in town, plus the UV load at 6,960 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.

Hidden Fasteners & Picture-Frame Border
Fastener-free surface with a clean picture-frame edge. Cut ends are hidden; expansion gaps are set for our temperature swings.
Composite & Metal Railings
Railings sized for moderate but real wind loads — powder-coated aluminum, cable, or matching composite top rail.

Composite Decks FAQs — Monument
+ Which composite works best for Monument?
At 6,960 ft the biggest concerns are UV fade and heat gain. We steer clients toward mid-tone boards on south- and west-facing decks in Monument's many walk-out lots face west with Pikes Peak sunsets, and we bring samples to the on-site visit.
+ Is composite worth it compared to cedar in Monument?
For most Monument homeowners, yes — cedar looks great but typically needs a re-stain every 1–2 years thanks to palmer divide climate — snow arrives earlier and stays longer than in town and high-altitude UV. Composite costs more up front and roughly evens out over time.
+ Does composite hold up to Monument's weather?
The board itself is the easy part; the substructure is where quality shows up. We frame every Monument composite deck for the local climate and follow the composite maker's joist-spacing spec.
+ Can you install composite over my existing frame in Monument?
Only if the frame is sound and spaced correctly for composite. We inspect first — many older Monument 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 Monument?
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 Monument?
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 Monument's climate with minimal upkeep.
