When it comes to protecting your deck, one of the biggest enemies here in Colorado is hail. Colorado ranks number two in the nation for hail damage claims. And if you’ve lived here long, you know Colorado sees its fair share of surprise spring and summer hail storms! In fact, our state gets around 300 hail storms every year, the most destructive which happen around June. Colorado has recorded hailstones the size of grapefruits in the past.

We create high-quality, unique custom decks, and our craftsmen are the only ones qualified to repair them. It’s your right[...]
