Quality craftsmanship in Black Forest
Black Forest sits at roughly 7,300 feet on dense ponderosa forest on 5-acre-plus lots, about 30 minutes from our Colorado Springs shop. The homes we work with around Cathedral Pines, Wissler Ranch, Walden, and Walden III are mostly log-and-timber homes, mountain-modern builds, and post-2013-fire rebuilds, and every deck we design here accounts for fire-aware material choices are common — non-combustible decking is popular.
Building in Black Forest means designing around sandy soil over Dawson formation, tall pines cast long afternoon shadows — placement is a design decision, and views toward the Black Forest Regional Park. We orient the deck to catch the light and shelter you'd actually use, and we finish it in materials that hold up to Colorado weather season after season.

Building a long-lasting custom decks in Black Forest isn't the same as building one in Denver or Phoenix. At 7,300 ft with dense ponderosa forest on 5-acre-plus lots, we engineer every custom decks for the site — footings sized below frost line, ledger boards flashed to keep meltwater off log-and-timber homes siding, and fasteners rated for the temperature swings we get on the the Black Forest Regional Park side of town.
Because we build across the Pikes Peak region — Colorado Springs, Black Forest, and neighboring cities — the crew has seen the failure modes: bad flashings, undersized joists, low-grade composite in south-facing sun. We build the opposite of those.

Frequently asked questions
+ What areas do you serve around Black Forest?
We work throughout Black Forest — including Cathedral Pines, Wissler Ranch, Walden, and Walden III — and drive the 30-minute route from our Colorado Springs shop regularly. Neighboring communities and the surrounding county are covered too.
+ What deck styles suit Black Forest homes?
Most Black Forest homes are log-and-timber homes, mountain-modern builds, and post-2013-fire rebuilds, so we design decks that read as part of the house — matching railing style, board direction, and finish to what's already there. Multi-level and walk-out layouts are especially common on dense ponderosa forest on.
+ Do you design Black Forest decks around the view?
Always. With the Black Forest Regional Park in the sightline for many lots, we lay out railings, seating, and stair placement so the view is the first thing you see when you walk out. Cable, glass, and slim-profile metal railings help preserve it.
+ What materials work best for Black Forest homes?
The right pick depends on your log-and-timber homes home and your maintenance appetite. Capped composite handles fire-aware material choices are common — non-combustible decking is popular with the least upkeep; kiln-dried cedar and hardwoods look right on older homes. We walk through both on the free on-site visit.
+ Can I get a free quote for a Black Forest deck?
Yes — we come to you. We walk the lot, look at how much dense ponderosa forest on we need to work with, and follow up with a written, itemized scope. No obligation.
+ How long does a Black Forest deck build take?
Most residential decks in Black Forest are finished within a few weeks of on-site start. Steep-grade builds near Cathedral Pines and more complex multi-level projects can add time — we lay out the whole schedule up front.
+ Can you build in every season in Black Forest?
We build year-round when conditions allow. Spring and early summer are peak, but fire-aware material choices are common — non-combustible decking is popular means we schedule around it — shoulder seasons in Black Forest can be some of the best build weather of the year.
+ What makes building in Black Forest different?
Three things: fire-aware material choices are common — non-combustible decking is popular, sandy soil over Dawson formation, and the fact that tall pines cast long afternoon shadows — placement is a design decision. Each of those changes how we frame and orient the deck — it's why our Black Forest projects don't look or perform like a generic in-town build.
+ Are you licensed and insured for work in Black Forest?
Yes — All Custom Deck is fully licensed and insured. We work across the Pikes Peak region and treat every Black Forest project the same way we would our own home.
