A Historic Core and Six Decades of Suburbs
Littleton has a genuine 1890s downtown surrounded by mid-century subdivisions and newer development further out. The deck we build near Sterne Park and the one out past Southbridge are different projects for reasons that have nothing to do with square footage.
Historic Downtown Proportions
Homes around the old town core have architecture worth matching. Proportion, railing style, and post detail decide whether a deck reads as original to the house or bolted on. We spec to the era rather than defaulting to builder-grade.
1960s and 70s Framing
Ketring, Woodmar, and the surrounding subdivisions date to the mid-century boom. On decks of that age we routinely find nailed ledgers, no flashing, and post bases sitting directly on concrete. That connection gets rebuilt before anything cosmetic.
South Platte and Lee Gulch Drainage
Properties near the river corridor and Lee Gulch sit lower with a higher water table. Footings go deeper and drainage gets detailed to move water away rather than just shedding it off the surface.
Mature Canopy, Slow Drying
Established Littleton streets have full tree cover. Shaded decks stay damp, hold snow, grow algae, and rot at the north edge first. We spec ventilation, gapping, and surface material for shade, not for a sunny showroom.
Engineered footings, low-maintenance surfaces, and covered structure — the same approach we bring to Littleton backyards.
Built for Littleton's Mixed Housing Stock
Littleton sits at 5,362 feet in Arapahoe County and is one of the older communities in the south metro — a real town with an 1890s core rather than a subdivision that grew a name. That history shows up directly in the work.
Near the historic downtown, the question is usually proportion and detail: a stock railing on a century-old house looks exactly like what it is. Out through Ketring, Woodmar, and the mid-century subdivisions, the question is structure — decks from that era very often have a ledger nailed rather than through-bolted, with no flashing behind it.
The third factor is water. Properties near the South Platte corridor and Lee Gulch sit lower with a higher water table, which means deeper footings and deliberate drainage. Permits go through the City of Littleton, which runs its own building department separate from unincorporated Arapahoe County — a distinction that catches out contractors working mostly county side.

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!
