Decking That Survives Altitude, Sun & Snow
At 5,000–9,000 feet, wood finishes fail in a year or two and cheap composite chalks and fades. The mineral-based and PVC-coated boards we install were the answer we went looking for after three decades of watching Colorado eat decking alive.
High-Altitude UV & Fade
UV rises roughly 10% per 1,000 feet of elevation. PVC-coated boards cap the color in a UV-stable polymer shell — backed by 25-year fade coverage, not marketing promises.
Freeze-Thaw & Moisture
Boards that absorb water crack from the inside when it freezes. Mineral-based composite absorbs next to none, so 100+ freeze-thaw cycles a year leave it flat, tight, and quiet.
Fire Resistance in the Foothills
In wildland-urban interface zones, wood decking is a liability. The composite lines we install are significantly more fire-resistant, with options suited to WUI requirements.
Hail Alley Impacts
The Front Range is the hail capital of North America. Dense mineral-core boards resist the dents and bruising that spring storms hammer into softwood decking.

Composite & PVC Decking in Colorado — An Honest Comparison
Not all composite is created equal, and the honest version of the comparison is worth two minutes. Traditional wood-flour composite was a huge step up from wood, but it can still absorb moisture, fade, and stain. The premium mineral-based composite and PVC-coated boards we specialize in replace the wood content with a mineral core and wrap it in a tough polymer shell — dramatically less expansion and contraction, near-zero water absorption, and the best coverage in the industry: a manufacturer-backed 50-year structural, 25-year fade, 25-year stain warranty. Every install uses hidden fastener systems for a clean, screw-free surface that stays slip-resistant even when wet.
Against wood, the math is straightforward. Wood costs less up front, but at Colorado altitude it needs refinishing every 1–2 years — real money and real weekends, forever. Composite costs more on day one, then asks for little more than an occasional wash. The trade-offs, told straight: composite runs warmer than wood in full high-altitude sun (color choice matters, and we’ll steer you right), and builder-grade boards are not the same product as the mineral-based lines we install. Have your heart set on a specific brand? No problem — we can install any composite decking currently available.
Colorado adds two more arguments. Freeze-thaw cycling destroys boards that drink water — mineral-based boards simply don’t. And in foothills fire zones, composite’s fire resistance beats wood decking; several products we install carry ratings suited to wildland-urban interface requirements — see our breakdown of Jefferson County’s WUI deck rules. Building new? Pairing the boards with steel framing makes the structure as durable as the surface — here’s when steel framing is worth it in Colorado.
If your existing deck’s framing, footings, and ledger are sound, a wood-to-composite resurface reuses that structure and saves thousands over a full rebuild — we inspect it honestly first and show you what we find. Want the absolute top tier? Premium stone decking on a steel frame is our Zero Maintenance package, the heart of many of our custom design-build projects from Cherry Hills Village to Castle Rock.

Deck Doctor is a wonderful company that I will use again! Brandon is a general contractor with experience in many types of outdoor construction. His crew were ideal — respectful, hard-working, very knowledgeable, cleaned up behind themselves. The project was well priced and done in a timely manner.
Had the pergola built last December, could not be happier. Took me quite a while to write a review but 10 stars all around. The team they have is amazing! Would definitely recommend!
Brandon and his team are amazing! They do what they say, when they say, and the quality of work is top-notch. My deck needed a complete overhaul due to rotting wood. His crew showed up early and cleaned up thoroughly every single day. Highly recommend!
One of the best experiences I have had with a contractor. Brandon walked me through the options and was honest and straightforward. Everything he said would happen, happened and on time. The final product is perfect!
