Rebuilding the Deck That Came With the House

A lot of Highlands Ranch homes were built with a wood deck off the kitchen or main living area, often sitting a full story above a walkout or garden level. Decades later, many of those decks are gray, splintered, and wobbly, with railings and stairs that don’t meet current standards. Rebuilding gives you a chance to rethink the space. The same footprint can be framed stronger, finished with lower maintenance boards, and laid out for the way your household actually uses it now, from morning coffee to summer dinners. We handle the full process, from removing the old structure and securing permits through Douglas County to building a deck that fits your house and community guidelines.

What a Deck Project Costs

Deck construction and reconstruction costs depend on size, height, decking material, and railing style. Composite boards and metal railings cost more up front but need less upkeep, and a second story deck over a walkout needs taller posts and more bracing than a low one. Removing an old Highlands Ranch deck and upgrading footings or framing is also part of the budget.

Wood Versus Composite

Pressure treated and cedar decking cost less and look natural but need regular staining. Composite resists fading and splintering and needs only occasional cleaning.

Working Through Douglas County Permits

Most deck projects need a Douglas County permit and inspections at key stages. We prepare drawings, schedule inspections, and keep the process moving so your deck is ready for summer.

Finishing the Space Below and Around

Many decks connect to a paver patio below and need periodic refinishing if built with wood. See more through our Highlands Ranch outdoor living and hardscaping services.

Highlands Ranch Deck FAQs

What homeowners ask about building or rebuilding a deck.
Can you replace just the railing to meet current code?
Often, yes. If the deck structure is sound, we can remove old railings and install new ones with proper height, spacing, and post attachments. We check the framing first to make sure it can support the new railing.
Sometimes. Composite often needs closer joist spacing than older decks have, and the framing must be in good shape. We inspect the frame and may add joists or recommend a rebuild.
Yes. Built in benches along the railing or around a corner add seating without taking up floor space. We design them to be comfortable, sturdy, and compliant with railing height rules.
We can. A self closing gate helps keep kids and pets from wandering down the stairs. We build it to match the railing and set hardware so it latches securely.
Yes. We take the old deck apart safely, pull nails and screws, and haul every board away. We protect your siding, windows, and landscaping during removal, and leave the area clean and ready for the new footings.
Yes. Long stairs from a second story deck can feel steep and tiring. A mid landing breaks up the climb, gives a place to pause, and can be required by code for taller stairs.
We can. A wide cap on top of the railing gives you a spot for drinks and plates while keeping the view open. We choose materials that match your decking.
