At Western Sky Designs, we believe outdoor spaces are where life’s best moments happen—where families gather, friends connect, and memories are made. Founded by Brian LaFave in 2001, our family-owned business has established a reputation for crafting custom decks and outdoor living spaces that truly stand out. We get it done right.
Brian didn’t just wake up one day and decide to build decks—he’s been in the business for over 22 years. He learned the ropes from his father-in-law, Dennis “Big D” LaFave, a seasoned contractor. After years of working in corporate America, Brian made the bold move to Western Sky Designs, driven by his passion to deliver solid, functional outdoor spaces.
We proudly serve the Greater Denver area, including Louisville, Superior, Boulder, and the surrounding communities, with a focus on quality and precision.
