  5. Final Review: We conduct a final walkthrough together, confirming that every detail conforms to our standards before we finish the project.

The Western Sky Designs Pledge: Our Commitment

We promise a straightforward experience defined by clear commitments that eliminate renovation risks, built on our three pillars: Transparency, Reliability, and Craftsmanship.

  • Upfront Proposal Policy: Your proposal is a detailed, itemized breakdown of labor and materials. We use this clarity to justify the quality difference in our work.

  • Guaranteed Timeline: We set clear start and completion dates and stick to them.

  • 2-Year Craftsmanship Guarantee: Our work is protected by a 2-Year Craftsmanship Guarantee that covers structural elements and installation errors. We also honor all manufacturer warranties (Deckorators, Fiberon, etc.).

  • Certified Team: We only use skilled, certified tradespeople for specialized work (plumbing, electrical) and rely on our in-house crew for core construction.

Common Questions Answered Directly

We believe in clear answers. Here is the straightforward truth on your biggest questions:

Why is your quote higher than another bid?

We only quote for premium, Colorado-tough materials (Deckorators, Fiberon) and specialized, certified labor. We do not cut costs by using subpar materials or unverified crews. Our quote covers guaranteed quality that lasts against our state’s unique weather.

It covers issues related to our work, including structural integrity (framing, railings) and installation errors (misaligned boards, improper fastenings). If an issue arises from our labor within two years, we fix it at no charge.

We use pressure-treated lumber for all structural framing. While the visible decking is composite (Deckorators, Fiberon), wood offers superior strength and cost-efficiency for the substructure, allowing us to build a more solid foundation for your Colorado deck.

We manage all of it. We are familiar with the requirements across the Denver area, including those in Boulder and Fort Collins. We submit the necessary drawings and documentation to your local municipality and HOA, ensuring your project is compliant before we ever break ground.

Yes. We build year-round. Colorado weather requires careful planning, but our foundation work uses heated concrete blankets when needed and stores materials to keep them dry. We take the necessary steps to ensure the cold does not compromise the structure’s quality.

We have established our company with 22 years of experience and over 300 successful outdoor projects, earning five-star reviews from satisfied homeowners throughout the Colorado Front Range.
