Deck Building
Deck Building in Silverthorne, CO, and all of Summit and Grand Counties
Outdoor living is a central part of life in the Colorado mountains, and a well-built deck or patio makes the most of Silverthorne’s views and fresh air. At Action Builder LLC, we specialize in designing and building decks and patios that combine durability, style, and functionality. From expansive multi-level decks to intimate patios, each project is crafted to match the home’s architecture and the unique conditions of mountain living.
Planning a Deck or Patio Project
A successful outdoor space begins with careful planning, taking into account the home’s layout, the property’s terrain, and the intended use of the space. In Silverthorne, it’s also essential to consider the climate—snow load, sun exposure, and seasonal temperature changes all influence design and materials.
Choosing the Right Location
Positioning the deck or patio to capture the best mountain views and sunlight enhances the enjoyment of the space year-round.
Designing for Function
The design process includes considerations for seating, dining, cooking areas, and access from the home.
Materials for Mountain Durability
High-altitude conditions demand building materials that can withstand snow, moisture, and strong sunlight. Action Builder LLC
selects materials that balance beauty, strength, and low maintenance.
Wood Decking
Cedar and redwood offer a warm, natural appearance, with proper sealing to protect against the elements.
Composite Decking
Engineered boards resist fading, staining, and moisture, providing long-lasting performance with minimal upkeep.
Patio Surfaces
Flagstone, pavers, and stamped concrete create durable patio foundations that can handle seasonal changes in temperature.
Custom Features and Enhancements
Beyond the basics, custom features can make an outdoor space truly exceptional.
Railings and Privacy Screens
Metal, glass, or wood railings provide safety while complementing the overall design, and privacy screens add seclusion.
Built-In Seating and Planters
Integrated benches and planter boxes maximize space and blend seamlessly with the deck or patio layout.
Outdoor Kitchens and Fire Features
Grill stations, countertops, fireplaces, and fire pits extend the usability of the space into cooler months.
