Our Deck & Patio Services

Custom Deck Building

We build decks tailored to your property’s layout and your specific needs. Our team works with a variety of materials, including traditional Cedar for a natural look or composite Trex for a virtually maintenance-free finish. As experienced custom deck builders in Denver, we ensure every post, joist, and railing meets or exceeds local building standards.

Patio Cover Installation

A dedicated cover allows you to enjoy your outdoor space regardless of the weather. We provide professional patio cover installation that integrates seamlessly with your home’s existing architecture. Our covers are engineered to handle Colorado wind and snow loads, providing a permanent solution for shade and protection.

Structural Reinforcement

If you have an existing deck and want to add a roof, we can help. We inspect your current framing to determine if it can support the additional weight of a patio cover. If the original structure isn’t sufficient, we can reinforce the posts and joists to create a safe, covered outdoor living area.

The Mile Hi Construction Difference

We handle all engineering and permit applications for every project we build. In Colorado, a permit is required if a deck is attached to the house or sits more than 30 inches above the ground; our team manages these submittals to keep your project 100% compliant with local safety codes. As a family-owned company, we provide honest recommendations on materials and structural reinforcements to ensure your outdoor space remains safe and functional for years.

Deck & Patio Build Process

Step One: Site Assessment and Design

We evaluate your yard’s slope and your home’s exterior to create a design that maximizes your space. We help you choose between wood and composite materials based on your maintenance preferences and budget.

Step Two: Engineering and Permitting

Our team handles the technical side of the project. We manage the engineering and submit all necessary plans to the local building department to secure the required permits before construction starts.

Step Three: Foundation and Framing

We begin by setting deep, reinforced concrete footings to prevent the structure from shifting. Our crew then builds the frame using high-quality lumber, ensuring the deck is structurally sound and ready for the decking boards.

Step Four: Decking and Railing

Once the frame is secure, we install your chosen decking material and railing system. We pay close attention to the details, ensuring even gaps, hidden fasteners, and a clean, professional finish.

Step Five: Patio Cover Integration

If your project includes a cover, we tie the new roof into your home’s existing roofline or mount it securely to the deck’s reinforced frame. We install all necessary shingles, gutters, and downspouts to match your home.

Step Six: Final Inspection

We conduct a thorough cleanup and coordinate the final inspection with the city. We verify that every component—from the ledger board to the stair lighting—meets our quality standards and local safety codes.
