Custom Deck & Patio Covers in Parker, Castle Rock & Franktown

Built for Shade. Designed for Colorado Living.

A great outdoor space should be comfortable, beautiful, and usable more than just a few months out of the year. At Hunter Deckz, we design and build custom deck and patio covers for homeowners in Parker, Castle Rock, Franktown, and surrounding Douglas County communities.

Whether you want more shade, protection from Colorado weather, a better place to entertain, or a finished outdoor living space that feels connected to your home, we build covers with the same attention to detail we bring to every deck project.

This is not a one-size-fits-all add-on. Your deck or patio cover should look like it belongs on your home.

Deck & Patio Covers Built Around Your Home

Every home is different. The roofline, siding, windows, deck structure, drainage, sun exposure, and views all matter. That is why we take a design-build approach instead of simply attaching a basic cover and calling it good.

We look at how the cover will function, how it will tie into the existing home, and how it will affect the overall look of your outdoor space.

Our deck and patio cover projects may include:

Covered decks
Patio roof covers
Attached shade structures
Outdoor living covers
Covered seating areas
Covered dining spaces
Deck cover additions
Patio cover upgrades
Custom wood-framed covers
Low-maintenance finish options

The goal is simple: create a cover that adds comfort, curb appeal, and long-term value

Designed for Parker, Castle Rock & Franktown Homes

Outdoor spaces in this part of Colorado need to handle real conditions. Strong sun, snow, wind, hail, temperature swings, and exposure all play a role in how a deck or patio cover should be designed and built.

Homes in Parker, Castle Rock, and Franktown often have large outdoor spaces, walkout basements, elevated decks, acreage properties, and views worth protecting. A well-designed cover can make those spaces more usable while still keeping the open Colorado feel homeowners love.

We focus on:

Proper structure and support
Clean roofline integration
Durable materials
Long-term weather resistance
A finished look that matches your home
Comfortable shade without making the space feel dark or closed in

A good cover should feel intentional, not like an afterthought.

Why Homeowners Choose HunterDeckz

Hunter Deckz is a family-owned design-build outdoor living company focused on quality craftsmanship and a better client experience. We are not trying to be the cheapest deck builder in town. We are focused on building outdoor spaces the right way.

Homeowners work with us because they want:

A contractor who understands decks and outdoor structures
Clear communication
Thoughtful design
Quality framing and finish work
Honest recommendations
A clean, professional build process
A finished product that looks like it belongs with the home

A deck or patio cover affects both the appearance and function of your home. We take that seriously.

Built With the Existing Structure in Mind

Not every deck is ready for a cover. Some existing decks may need structural upgrades before adding a roof or shade structure. Footings, framing, posts, beams, ledger attachment, and load paths all matter.

Before recommending a design, we look at the condition and structure of the existing deck or patio area. If the deck needs reinforcement, replacement, or redesign, we will explain that clearly.

That upfront honesty helps avoid problems later.

We would rather build it right than force a cover onto a structure that was not designed to support it.

Deck & Patio Cover Options

Your cover can be simple, refined, rustic, modern, or fully custom depending on your home and goals.

Common design options include:

Open gable covers
Shed roof covers
Covered deck extensions
Timber-style patio covers
Integrated roof tie-ins
Exposed beam details
Finished ceilings
Lighting-ready framing
Composite or low-maintenance deck upgrades below the cover

We help you choose a design that fits your home, your budget, and the way you want to use the space.

Local Permit Considerations

Deck and patio cover requirements can vary depending on where your home is located. Parker, Castle Rock, Franktown, and unincorporated Douglas County may each have different requirements for covered decks, patio covers, electrical work, structural plans, setbacks, and inspections.

Hunter Deckz helps homeowners understand what may be required before construction begins.

We build with local requirements in mind so your project is planned properly from the start.

FAQ

Do I need a permit for a deck or patio cover?

In many cases, yes. Permit requirements depend on your location, the type of cover, how it attaches to the home, and whether electrical work is included. Parker, Castle Rock, Franktown, and Douglas County may each have different requirements.

Can you add a cover to an existing deck?

Sometimes. The existing deck needs to be evaluated first to make sure it can support the additional loads. If the structure is not ready for a cover, we may recommend upgrades or replacement before adding one.

Do you build patio covers in Castle Rock?

Yes. Hunter Deckz builds custom deck and patio covers in Castle Rock, Parker, Franktown, and surrounding Douglas County areas.

Can a patio cover match my existing home?

Yes. A well-designed cover should feel like it belongs with the home. We consider rooflines, materials, proportions, colors, and the overall style of the property.

What is the difference between a pergola and a patio cover?

A pergola usually provides partial shade with an open-roof design. A patio cover typically has a solid roof and provides more protection from sun, rain, and snow.

Jake and his crew built our very large deck, with a unique design not within the same footprint as our previous deck. The deck turned out beautifully, and Jake really paid attention to all the little details. He was very creative, not only in finding ways to get us within our budget without compromising on quality (not a particularly easy feat), but also in identifying solutions to problems he encountered along the way. If you want someone who is going to really think through your project and requests and give you innovative recommendations on how to get it done, Jake is your guy.

Who’s looking for a new deck? Stop. I’ve done the research for you. I contacted 4 of the largest deck Contractors. No call Back, one company never showed up and one gave me a 4 month lead time. I just happened to be golfing with a lady who was having her deck rebuilt. She gave me a name of “Jake-the-Deck-Guy” and within 48 hours I had a call back and an appt in 4 days.

Hunter Contractors had my deck down in 2 days. It was two tiered and about 18 years old. Jake-the-deck-guy identified rotting supports and other integral support issues. Days later the deck started to go up. Jake is experienced with a good composite material and an array of bannisters designs and lights. I quickly learned that the guy had better taste than I. With his experience and attention to detail, I knew to just let him do what he does best. The crew was respectful of the property and cleaned up every evening.

I was so relieved to have gone the right direction on this project. The project price was affordable and was what we had expected. This type of project is always a shot in the dark. I am extremely pleased with the deck. It is my favorite place to hang out. Stop your searching and give this guy a call.

Having lived in our house for 20+ years, we finally decided it was time to upgrade the rotting builder-grade 10x12 deck with something a bit fancier. We chose Hunter Contracting and we could not be happier! Jake was always very communicative and guided us through all the options we had available. We were very happy with the price too. Throughout the build process it was very evident that Jake takes pride in every aspect of his work and his attention to detail is verging on obsessive, which is an excellent trait! We highly recommend Hunter Contracting!

Needed to replace the original porch on our house which was only 5 feet by 9 feet wide and falling apart. Attached is a picture of the old deck where I was already rerouting the underground sprinkler lines to make room for a new deck. I wanted to replace the old deck with just a 10 foot by 10 foot deck and relocating the steps to the side (with a nice wide stair landing). Although small, I wanted the new deck to be high quality and essentially maintenance free. After checking all the building codes and drawing my design, I contacted a few contractors. Jake Hunter's price was reasonable and more important he took time to really review my design even though it is a small deck. The bottom line is that Jake and his team did an excellent job as shown by the second attached picture. It has now been about a year and the new deck is holding up just fine. I highly recommend Hunter Contracting for anyone wanting a high quality deck.
