Because of what we found out, after the fact, I would strongly encourage everyone who is considering using this company and everyone who has already used them, to reach out to your city/county and find out if they are registered to work there. Make sure that they've pulled permits for your work, because if you have to do this after the fact, it's going to be an ordeal. We've been told, we may have to remove the structure, because they never got to inspect the caissons in the concrete. Our roof was not done to code, the framing of the porch was not done to code, which is likely why he didn't pull permits in the first place. We can appeal, as we are not at fault and some of these things we can pay another contractor to fix, but the bottom line is, Colorado Deck and Patio, didn't do the work as contracted. They sell their services saying they do things the right way, they didn't. They talk about integrity, I think it's pretty clear that if you don't pull the permits that are in your contract, that's not accurate. If you aren't licensed to work in a city that you're working in and you're selling your services there, that doesn't seem very transparent either. They say they don't sub-contract to crews that weren't involved in the design and vision, that's also a lie. If you google you can find Stephen looking for crews to work as 1099 employees. He and Eric appear to be the only employees of the company. The crew that worked on our project, was great, but they weren't involved from the start, the guy who was involved at the start was fired for using drugs. Stephen shared the text messages of when he had to fire him, with us and the contractors who worked on our job, we all saw them. We supposedly paid more for their services because they aren't like other contractors, they are honest and they do things the right way, we found out that they are exactly like the contractors that they talk bad about, they just charge more. The allegation that they pay for 5 star reviews is accurate. They want nothing less than a perfect review and if you give them anything less, even 4 stars, expect to have them calling you names to their crew. read more

It has been several months now and I realized I said I would post updates when everything was resolved, which I suppose everything is now no thanks to Colorado Deck and Patio. Over the 2-3 months that followed we spent over $15,000 to have our brand new front porch repaired and brought up to city codes. So in case you're keeping score - the original estimate was $11K, but Stephen Jackson forgot to include the electrical work for lights and outlets, which we requested from the beginning, in the estimate so the total was over $13K. Then we learned there were no permits, no inspections, they were not licensed in Aurora, they disregarded the engineer's plans by not providing proper support for the structure, and they did not have the roof done according to the city code. That's just off the top of my head. So why did it cost us an additional $15K? Because to do it right we had the extra expenses of paying for the permit, paying to remove brand new materials so the workmanship could be inspected - it failed, btw. We had to pay to have the brand new roof removed so that it could be re-done properly, which required re-roofing the entire front side of the house, so that was a lot more material. We had to pay for brand new engineer drawings. [On a side note, the engineering firm they used told us it was the first time a contractor hired them to have plans drawn, then failed to follow them. As a result they said they would no longer do business with Colorado Deck & Patio.] The list goes on, and also includes paying for an attorney that specializes in construction law. I also wanted to address some of the things Stephen Jackson stated in his response to my prior review, though most of it is ludicrous. Firstly, they do indeed offer a 5 or 10 year warranty for a price. I have never, outside of Best Buy had to pay for a warranty. We paid for the 5 year, and we did reach out to them as I previously stated when we learned about the problems and they chose not to reply. And they did carry insurance but we confirmed they let it lapse during our project and only reinstated it when they heard from our lawyer. Stephen seemed perplexed as to why we would not ask him to fix the problems, but these were not honest mistakes, or simple oversights, they were decisions Stephen Jackson made to financially benefit himself and put our home in jeopardy. And the decisions to cut all those corners were solely Stephen Jackson's. The subcontractor that he hired was not a friend of ours, we had never met Jairo Reyes before Stephen introduced us when he arrived to work on the porch. In fact it came as a surprise to us because Eric Johnson said they don't use subcontractors, Stephen does all the work himself. And I hate to point out the obvious hole in that claim, but.. If he was our friend, why would we have paid Colorado Deck and Patio to hire him? Why not save ourselves a ton of money and hire him directly? But Mr. Reyes did the job as he was instructed, by Stephen who was onsite just about every day and is very much "the boss," just ask him (you know the type). Mr. Reyes absolutely was not provided with the engineer's drawings or stamp. We know this because later we did become friends with him after we learned he had also been ripped-off by Colorado Deck and Patio. I really don't want to get into the other ugly claims but I will say there is a police report that proves we never had any stolen tools at our house, and our own home security cameras prove there was never a gun pointed at anyone. In fact the officer that was involved instructed Stephen Jackson to stay away from us and our property. As far as posting fake reviews, that may just be the pot calling the kettle black, since before this year their company had a total of about five reviews over ten years - two of which were negative. Now they get a new 5-star review somewhere on average every week. That's impressive since they also told us they only do one project at a time so they can provide attention to detail. Unfortunately for Colorado Deck & Patio all those great reviews are not quite enough to restore their previous 'decent' overall ratings. Because in the meantime there have also been new 1-star reviews. Other people have called them unprofessional, and stated that Stephen did not have a license or get permits and inspections until he was forced to. And now he apparently thinks the customer should change the negative review to a positive one. So maybe he was right about one thing in his response.. maybe a gift card is not enough to make somebody change a negative review to a perfect one. But it's still a shady practice that violates the terms of sites like this one and Angie's list. But that is the least of the shady things that Colorado Deck and Patio has done during our interactions with them. Our porch is now complete and does look good, but that is no thanks to them either. We unfortunately can't enjoy it at this point, and that is thanks to Colorado Deck and Patio. :( read more

Our experience with Colorado Deck and Patio was enjoyable and easy from start to finish. We had a pretty large project (removing old deck, building new bigger deck, adding another deck to the top story of the house and breaking out the wall to add french doors) and they did an amazing job! The communication was very open the entire time. I always knew what was happening and was happening next. They handled all permits and inspections for the city and kept me in the loop during all of it. The guys worked so hard everyday they were here and always cleaned up each day. It never felt like we were in the middle of renovations with junk everywhere. The guys were so nice and respectful of our home and our time. I would highly recommend Colorado Deck and Patio for all of your deck needs, you won't be disappointed! *Despite what I read in a previous review I was NEVER offered compensation of any kind for a good review read more

See all

I contracted with Colorado Deck and Patio to do a new deck over and existing patio and a replacement of a retaining wall. Stephen and Eric were very attentive with what I was looking for. My project was budget conscious, and I was able to work with them to figure out how to get what I wanted in my budget. Once the work began, the project went quickly. The retaining wall looks so much better then it did and the deck is fantastic! I did my research with other quotes from other companies and as I mentioned above, they came in at a fair and reasonable price point. I'm very happy with the workmanship and over the course of the negotiations and during the project I enjoyed speaking with them. I would describe Colorado Deck and Patio as honest, fair and high quality workmanship. I would recommend Colorado Deck and Patio. read more

Do not hire. Probably the most unprofessional business that I have ever dealt with. Stephen got in my wife's face while reviewing the workmanship quality, it took 2.5 months to complete, and then found out that it was never permitted. When talking with the town of Parker, Stephen has never picked-up a permit in Parker. When asked Stephen to get final permit, he advised that "You think you're the boss" and then hung up on my and advised me to "deal with it then". Buyer beware. read more

I wanted to take a moment to say that I am a firm believer that as people we all make simple mistakes. We live in an economy for the most part that is quick to judge with out truly understanding a person and giving an opportunity to truly understand each other. I believe that it's not about the mistakes we make in life but how we fix said mistakes that truly display the characteristics of a person. My project did not start the greatest but then again I can be tough I own a business and can be hard on myself sometimes to reach a level of customer satisfaction that can be unrealistic at times. When me and Steven sat down and resolved our issues as adults I found that he is actually a very dedicated ,knowledgeable and prideful person. He takes an extra level of time to insure the customer is truly satisfied as well as understanding of how he's building a deck why and how it makes a hudge difference in the life expectancy. He was very very detailed in his workmanship and I am very satisfied with the end result of my front deck. I would highly recommend his services and truly appreciate his work and professionalism through the process. Let's face it as our great state grows i find it harder to find companies like this so in turn believe they should be recognized for there level of going above and beyond. 100% satisfied couldn't be any happier. read more

In reading the negative reviews. Lots of them! I will add to the list. We contracted Colorado Deck in 2017 to build our double deck. Total disaster. Gave us a quote for a complete deck. Did not deliver. We were buying material that he should of provided. In the bid he had the dry below that we wanted. He was not a licensed installer. needless to say. We did not get the dry below. Quality of work below par. Every time I would point out big gaps, out of square corners he would say what are you talking about? My neighbor is a contractor. He confronted Stephen about all the issues. Stephen started yelling at me and blaming me for all of his bull. I at that point had enough and told him to get his things and get off my property. No thanks to Colorado Deck I do have a complete deck. Not without problems. My glass panels keep sliding down, one fell and shattered. Oh and yes he charges you for a permit but does not pull one. Always waiting for a phone call from the County. It blows me away the bull he feeds everyone. Uses his kids to real you in. Still dealing with issues!!! read more

Stephen did a great job on our deck which was in desperate need of repairs. Stephen loves his work, he is honest, he is always happy and very easy to work with. He treats your deck as his own, goes above and beyond the contract. In spite of bad weather, Stephen came on-time. He and his crew were here at 6:45 AM (on all the days) and also worked on Saturday to get the job done. He is an expert in this line of work. He knew exactly how to replace all the joists and the staircase and improve the overall structural integrity of the deck. read more

Colorado Deck and Patio completed my deck in less than a week. They were professional and made sure they communicated with me every step of the way. My deck looks amazing! read more

I'd use no other company for getting work done on my patio. Their customer service is phenomenal, as well as their work. Their portfolio is impressive as well, which only gave me more confidence when hiring them. read more

These folks helped me out of a jam and removed a deck. They responded quickly and fit me in between other jobs. They were very nice and patient with me. I'm looking forward to having them build my new deck. They know what they are doing and I am pleased. read more

My experience with Colorado Deck and Patio was 100% great from start to finish. I needed an very old, rotted-through-in-some-spots wooden front porch replaced. Eric listened carefully to what I wanted, and designed a replacement that fit my budget and my needs. There was no hard sell tactics or attempts to up-sell me on anything. He kept me apprised of when his crew would show and exactly what they would be doing. The crew was professional and took a personal interest in making sure that my old porch was demolished with no damage to the rest of the house (we kept looking for buried treasure -- or bodies -- but no such luck. Just an old tennis ball, a rusty fork, and a REALLY BIG black widow spider). Once they poured the new concrete slab and installed the new railings and posts, they all weighed in on how I should "decorate" because they were so happy with the results. read more
