How much does a custom deck cost in Colorado? [2025 Guide]

Thinking about building a personalized outdoor space for your new home in Colorado?

For many newlyweds or first-time homeowners, designing a custom deck is one of the most exciting steps in creating a home where memories are made.

But before you dive into design ideas, there’s one essential question: How much does a custom deck really cost in Colorado? Let’s break it down.

Why custom decks are worth the investment

A deck is more than just wood and screws — it’s where you’ll sip coffee on Sunday mornings, host barbecues, and relax under the Colorado sky.

For couples starting a new chapter, a custom deck offers:

• A lifestyle upgrade
• A cozy, intentional space for connection
• A lasting addition that increases home value

Unlike standard kits, custom decks are designed for your exact space and vision — blending design, durability, and lifestyle in one timeless investment.

Factors that influence the price of a custom deck

Several variables impact the total cost. Here’s what you need to consider when planning:

1. Material selection

• Composite (e.g., TimberTech, AZEK): Low maintenance and long-lasting
• Natural Wood: Lower cost upfront but needs more upkeep
• Metal Structure: Unmatched durability — our specialty

2. Size and design complexity

The bigger or more creative your deck design, the more labor and material costs you’ll incur. Multi-level structures or curved edges raise the price.

3. Site conditions

Sloped terrain or restricted access areas may require additional prep work, which impacts cost.

4. Features and add-ons

• Stairs and custom railings
• Lighting and fire features
• Pergolas and privacy walls
• Built-in seating

5. Permits and local codes

Each city in Colorado has unique requirements — but no worries, Decks by Caio handles it for you.
