DecKor Outdoor Living
What Is Lumber Frame Decking?
Lumber frame decking forms the structure beneath your deck. It’s what supports the boards you walk on, holding everything together. From pressure-treated deck framing to proper joist and beam installation, we focus on building a solid foundation that holds up to both time and Colorado’s weather swings—from snowy winters to dry summers.
We carefully choose each piece of lumber to match your site’s needs and your vision—whether that means a simple square layout or a more creative shape using natural wood decking. We also plan the deck post and footing setup to work with your yard’s slope and soil, making sure your deck is secure from the ground up.

The Benefits of a Lumber Frame Deck
A lumber frame deck offers more than curb appeal. Here’s what makes it a smart, long-term investment
Wood has a classic look that blends with the scenery—especially here in the forested and foothill areas of Black Forest or Monument.
With wood, you can build almost any shape or size—curved corners, wraparounds, built-in benches, and more.
A well-built lumber deck foundation with quality materials can hold up for decades, even in places like Colorado Springs where temperature swings are big.
Thanks to pressure-treated deck framing, most of the maintenance comes down to occasional sealing and basic cleaning.

EXCELLENT Based on 11 reviews Posted on Dave BennettTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. These guys are incredible! I have been dealing with contractors all my life and have come to expect subpar workmanship, not these guys at DecKor, they went over and above my expectations for the following reasons. 1. The work came in on time. 2. The project came in on Budget 3. The work site was cleaned at the end of every day and trash was hauled off. 4. The workers were kind and considerate and didn't hesitate to stop and answer all my Questions. 5. Jake is thorough in details and follows up in a timely manner. 6. Archer is more OCD than I am so I didn't have to micromanage anything on the project, I had complete trust that it would be completed as designed with the highest grade materials and workmanship. 7. And here is the best part, no Change Orders (I always hated them) Archer would propose a different approach, we would discuss it, and he was usually correct as it made the project better. I just gave him the thumbs up and he would follow through.Posted on Merry CorneliusTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Archer and the guys at Deckor are absolutely wonderful! We got estimates from other companies in town but Jake at Deckor worked with us and made great suggestions for how we could get everything we really wanted within our budget, while the other companies did not. We have had many contractors work on our house over the 20 some years we have lived in Colorado Springs and we really have never been happy, UNTIL Archer and his crew came to work on our deck. Everyone on his team are hardworking professionals who are kind and a pleasure to have working on our home.The care and attention to detail was beyond any we have ever experienced. If you are looking to replace your deck and maybe add a roof, do what we did and hire Archer and his crew at Deckor, you will be very happy, I know we are. ~Merry CorneliusPosted on Michael BancroftTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. DecKor has helped us reclaim a lost investment and changed our outdoor living experience. Aside from the quality, professionalism, and care for our vision; their product transformed our home. We invested in the idea of outdoor living years ago but never became a reality. There were numerous cheap ideas and concepts that we tried over the years (umbrellas, sails, etc…) which were ultimately lost investments. Outdoor furniture, all lost from the Colorado sun. We finally found the resources to make a major decision and go with a long lasting durable concept. The team at DecKor ensured we made the best investment. They encouraged us to take the extra step knowing it would pay off…and it did! The detailed craftsmanship and confidently built structures makes this look like part of the original house. They were quick when we needed it, and never pressured us at any point. The construction crew was complimented by multiple neighbors. We look forward to another project with them. I was buying with initial concerns for such a big investment, now I’m buying with confidence and excitement that every penny will be recapitalized through years of outdoor living and enjoyment. Thank you DecKor team!Posted on A TTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with DecKor was fabulous! Jake offered suggestions that saved me money and the look is even better. All the guys worked on schedule and were focused. The project turned out even better than I had expected!Posted on Amy MeyerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot say enough about how amazing this whole group was!! We interviewed and got price quotes from many different places in the area. Jake worked with us so well and answered all of our questions and went above and beyond to help us feel comfortable. Once we decided to go with their company, we were continually impressed by the work ethic and the team And the beauty of the deck. We have not stopped getting compliments on our deck. It came out so beautiful! And the process was smooth, we really enjoyed the workers. Paul and Anthony and the guys were amazing and always cleaned up after themselves and respectful and did such an amazing job! I would wholeheartedly recommend these guys to anyone looking to do a deck.Posted on Austin KopasTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very kind people. Price was fair, the design was great, and the work was done quickly. Highly recommend these guys.Posted on Lisa SmithTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We would definitely recommend DecKor Outdoor Living Co. The entire team is excellent! The owner, Archer, and Sales, Jake, helped us to create a vision for an end product that we would truly enjoy and then went to work to make it happen. The crew members, Paul, Joe, and Reuben were great, delivering quality and efficiency! Each member of DecKor is wholly committed to quality and customer satisfaction. We are extremely happy with the project completed, consisting of two decks and a deck cover over the largest deck.Posted on Kathy EllisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. DecKor Outdoor Living just replaced our 36-year-old wooden deck. They did a fabulous job! Jake met with us to discuss options, pricing, and plans for the design. Craftsmen Paul and Joe worked extremely hard and were precise and meticulous during the entire process. They took great pride in their work, made adjustments to meet our needs as an older couple, and did an incredible job with every detail. The final product is absolutely beautiful! WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND DECKOR!!Posted on jason robeyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've known Archer for over a year now from a material supply perspective and safe to say he takes his work very serious and is a true professional. Very detail oriented and honest. I would trust Archer with any decking project.
