Decks in Longmont: Frequently Asked Questions
Composite or wood deck in Colorado?
Composite decking holds up to Colorado sun and freeze-thaw cycles with little maintenance. Wood costs less up front but needs regular staining. We build both.
Do I need a permit to build a deck?
In most Front Range cities a deck attached to the house or more than 30 inches above grade needs a building permit. We pull the permit as part of the job.
Is Josh Brooks Construction a licensed contractor?
Josh Brooks Construction and Renovation Inc. holds a Boulder County contractor license (CON-24-0152, Class C), a Jefferson County Class C license and a Douglas County Class A license, and pulls the building permits the job requires.
