Wind Off Open Water
Dillon sits at about 9,100 feet on the shore of Dillon Reservoir, and the wind coming off that open water is the defining building condition here. Combine it with Summit County snow load and you get a specific set of structural requirements.
Reservoir Wind
Wind coming off open water at Dillon Reservoir is stronger and more constant than anywhere else we build. It governs pergola anchoring, post sizing, and railing infill — solid panels are the wrong answer on an exposed lot here.
Summit County Snow Load
At 9,100 feet, snow load sets the framing before anything else is decided. Deeper joists, tighter spacing, larger beams. It's the most common thing we find undersized on older Summit County decks.
Lake-Effect Moisture
Proximity to open water means more moisture cycling on the deck surface than a dry inland mountain lot. Drainage detail, gapping, and surface material all matter more here, especially on north-facing structures.
Short Season, Long Winter
The Summit County build window is narrow. We start approvals early and are straight at the estimate about which season a project actually lands in.
Engineered footings, low-maintenance surfaces, and covered structure — the same approach we bring to Dillon backyards.
Built for Dillon's Wind and Winter
Dillon sits at roughly 9,100 feet in Summit County, on the shore of Dillon Reservoir — and that open water is the single most distinctive building condition here. Wind coming off it is stronger and far more constant than what we design for on inland mountain lots.
Practically, wind governs three decisions: pergola and cover anchoring, which gets sized for real uplift rather than a kit spec; post sizing and bracing on exposed lots; and railing infill, where solid privacy panels behave like sails and cable or aluminum is almost always the better answer. Owners who want a wind block usually end up with glass on one section rather than solid panels all the way around.
Snow load is the second governing input — at this elevation it sets joist depth and spacing before material is discussed, and undersized framing is the most common defect we find on older Summit County decks. Add lake-effect moisture cycling on the surface, and drainage detail matters more here than on a dry inland lot. Permits go through Summit County or the Town of Dillon depending on your address, and we confirm which before submitting.

What Colorado Homeowners Are Saying
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!
