Composite Decks built for Old Colorado City homes
Composite decking is the low-maintenance answer to Old Colorado City's climate — warm west-side afternoons with quick-moving mountain storms, plus the UV load at 6,100 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 — Old Colorado City
+ Which composite works best for Old Colorado City?
At 6,100 ft the biggest concerns are UV fade and heat gain. We steer clients toward mid-tone boards on south- and west-facing decks in Old Colorado City's bright southern exposure with mature shade trees, and we bring samples to the on-site visit.
+ Is composite worth it compared to cedar in Old Colorado City?
For most Old Colorado City homeowners, yes — cedar looks great but typically needs a re-stain every 1–2 years thanks to warm west-side afternoons with quick-moving mountain storms and high-altitude UV. Composite needs far less upkeep and holds its finish over time.
+ Does composite hold up to Old Colorado City's weather?
The board itself is the easy part; the substructure is where quality shows up. We frame every Old Colorado City composite deck for the local climate and follow the composite maker's joist-spacing spec.
+ Can you install composite over my existing frame in Old Colorado City?
Only if the frame is sound and spaced correctly for composite. We inspect first — many older Old Colorado City 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.

Yes — both are standard on our composite installs. A picture-frame border cleans up cut ends, and hidden clips keep the surface fastener-free.
