Do You Need a Permit to Build a Deck in Colorado? Rules Cost and More

Have you got a big decking project in mind? Good for you! Getting a deck built or building your own deck can be a source of pride and joy for many homeowners. If your question is whether or not you need a permit to start, then do I have the info for you. Everywhere is a little bit different, but it’s good to have a look at the rules you need to abide by. That’s why we’re taking a closer look at the permit process in Colorado.

You will need to obtain a building permit to build a deck in the state of Colorado. You may require additional permits if installing a feature that has a connection to water, electricity, or gas. However, a small free-standing deck that is no more than 30 inches in height does not require a permit.

The process of obtaining a building permit for your deck is fairly similar across Colorado. There are also costs involved and consequences if you build without a permit, which I will explain.

Colorado Building Permits for Decking

After all the effort of planning and building a deck for your home, you definitely want to make sure it is up to code. Permits are required by law to ensure the safety of your home for you and any subsequent homeowners.

A four-year study revealed that, of all the injuries involving decking, approximately 19,690 cases were caused by structural failure or collapse. The local government is keeping up to date with the latest safety standards so that they can pass these standards onto homeowners when they apply for a building permit.

Each permit will be slightly different depending on what city you are living in. There are state guidelines for Colorado, but these guidelines branch out into each county and city. The best thing to do is to type into Google ‘building permit for a deck in [insert your city here]’, or browse your city’s government website.

The following is based on permit law from Fort Collins in Larimer County, however, all permits are derived from international standards. These are outlined in the International Residential Code (IRC) and the International Building Code (IBC), written by the International Code Council (ICC).

What You Will Need
The following list outlines what is required for the permit to be reviewed. It is your responsibility to gather these documents and provide them to your city council with your application form. 

  • Permit application form
  • Homeowner affidavit
  • Deck information/materials used
  • Site plan (where the deck sits on your lot)
  • Floor plan (house and decking)
  • Side view/elevation plan (shows the foundations and wall attachments if relevant)
  • Connection details (how you are connecting to the wall)
  • Photo of area where you plan to build the deck

This checklist has been taken from the Fort Collins Residential Deck Guide. Just remember that your specific city may differ slightly. In Fort Collins, these documents are all provided for you to sign and fill in. For the drawn plans of your deck, they give examples of what details you should be providing.

Cost
The cost of the permit depends on many factors. On average, you’ll be looking at somewhere around $225-$500 in Colorado.

Permit prices are based on the value of the deck as well as the services required during the inspection period. For example, if you need an inspection outside normal working hours, you will be charged around $50 per hour for the inspector. Or if you fail an inspection and need to repeat it, you will again be charged per hour for the inspector to come out.

You will also require additional permits for any gas, electricity, or water services.  For example, you may want to gas heater on the deck. These start at approximately $25 per permit.

The Process
Here is a step-by-step process of what you can expect when applying for a permit.

  1. Draw up plans for decking.
  2. Prepare all documents mentioned previously.
  3. Submit the application form with supporting documents and payment.
  4. Application is reviewed, including Historic Preservation review if your home is over 50 years old.
  5. Permit is issued and valid for 180 days. You can request one free extension period of a further 180 days. This should be displayed somewhere near the construction.
  6. Begin construction.
  7. First inspection when the setback and footings are established.
  8. Second inspection when the foundation is complete (the concrete piers and pillars are in place)
  9. Third inspection when the frame and any utilities are established (minus flooring of the deck).
  10. Final inspection when the deck is complete.

Rules for Building a Deck
There are many things to consider when designing your deck. By studying the rules specific to your area, you will save yourself the hassle of failing inspections and repeating each step of the building process. Below are a few of the rules you might find.

  • Guardrails: essential if the deck is more than 30 inches above ground. Guardrails should be a minimum 36 inches in height.
  • Stairs: Must be at least 36 inches wide. If more than four risers, stairs must have a 34-36 inch handrail. Risers can range between 4-7 ¾ inch and treads should be at least 10 inches. Stairs must be illuminated.
  • Piers: Concrete piers must be a minimum of 30 inches deep and 8 inches in diameter. Concrete should protrude at least 8 inches above ground. Anchor bolt should be embedded at least 7 inches into concrete. Wooden pillars must be treated to prevent corrosion.

These are the major rules regarding the construction of your deck. These rules may change as the ICC updates their codes every three years. There are also many finer details covered in the ICC’s building code, such as handrail specifications and joists. I suggest you look up the rules specific to your city immediately prior to planning so that you have the most up to date building codes.

Building a Deck without a Permit

Building a deck without a permit is risky. I’m sure there are people who have done it before, but rules have been tightening to ensure that those who have built without a permit are caught. Being caught means paying a hefty fine as well as other consequences.

However, if you are building a floating or ground-level deck, you do not require a permit. The floating deck must be free-standing (not attached to the house), no more than 30 inches high, and have less than 120 feet of flooring.

Regular decking that is not up to code may be reported by anyone. The deck may cause serious harm to someone, leaving you liable for their injuries and open to being sued. This is going to cost far more than getting a permit and having regular inspections.

Your insurance company will also refuse to pay for damages if they found out that your deck was built without a permit. So if you were to be sued, you’d be paying for everything yourself.

Decks that are up to code, but built without a permit, might go unnoticed. However, if you were to ever try to sell your home, you might be required to provide proof of obtaining a permit. 

Some financial institutions will insist on an inspection report before the purchase can be made. If there is no evidence that the deck was built with a permit, there’s a high chance you will be asked to dismantle it and start again. There’s also a chance that the value of your home will be forced down if buyers find out about it.

If you already have a deck that does not have a permit, you can obtain one for the existing structure. This process involves drawing up all the plans for the deck as if you were building it yourself, applying through your local city, and having an inspector look at it. 

If it is not up to code, which may have changed since it was built, you will be required to tear down the sub-standard sections and rebuild as directed by the inspector.

I’m sure the reason you’re reading this article is because you want to do the right thing when you build your deck. I hope you’ve found the answers you were looking for and enjoy the process of building your very own deck.

A Professional Guide To Building A Deck Around A Tree

a picture of a multi tier deck with a tree in the middle of it

A wooden deck is a thing of beauty, an excellent way of adding some oomph to your outdoor living area. It expands the living space while serving as a focal point for your outdoors. 

Building it around a tree might seem to complicate the project, but that is not the case. You can work with a floating deck that rests on above-ground piers or underground footings. It just depends on what your permit office wants to see. The tree’s size could influence the deck’s dimensions, the layout of the foundations, and the joist layout as well.

Why Incorporate Surrounding Trees?

A mature tree or two in the spot you plan for the installation can be a blessing in disguise. The plants can serve as natural shade and at the same time, you get to feel good about helping your environment. Furthermore, a deck that encompasses a tree or two looks phenomenal, a presentation that can make people have a deeper appreciation of your outdoor setting.

How To Build Your Deck Around A Tree

Installing a deck is not something that you should brush off as easy and undertake it as a DIY project. We highly recommend that you let the professionals at TNT handle the installation, especially when you have an obstacle, such as a tree, that can impact the construction. Also, this guide explains just one of many different ways to approach the same project. Basically, be careful, use common sense, and always wear safety gear and be sure to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines when using power tools.

Below is a quick guide that shows steps we follow when building a deck that will surround a tree. 

1.   Assess Your Trees

As we layout and plan your deck we will get an idea of where the tree is going to be in relation to the deck space and plan accordingly. This will help us to not only make it easier to frame around but also plan for how it will fit into the decking or any railing obstacles we might encounter.

Most tree species stop growing upwards when they reach a certain point but most every tree keeps growing wider adding rings every year.

On a lot of installs, we will butt the decking boards right up against the tree all the way around and then at the end we carefully take a jigsaw and run it in a circle around the tree with one side of the blade guard up against it so that when you’re done you get an even gap all the way around the tree.

This will also help for future growth so in 10 years if the girth of the tree is grown out and is about to or is already touching the deck boards you can go ahead and use a jigsaw and cut another gap around it.

2.    Plan Your Deck

Be realistic and honest about how you plan to use the deck. Do you want to use it for barbecues or outdoor dining, as a casual entertainment spot for guests, or maybe somewhere to do yoga or coffee in the mornings?

If you have a lower budget, it would be best to consider installing something small with a potential second phase in the future. We believe a smaller deck can help create a more intimate space.

The size will also be determined by the space available. We will advise you accordingly while also considering the slope of your yard and the different support structures needs for the deck.

Permits will also have a huge influence on what you can and can’t do in your particular yard. We will dive into this more in step 4 but things you will have to keep in mind that the permit office will most likely be checking for are things like:

  • Setbacks (this is the amount of space there needs to be in between the deck you want to build and your property line)
  • Caissons (these are holes you dig in the ground with the intent of filling back up with concrete to support the deck using posts)
  • Ledger (this is the attachment point at the house (if applicable). It could look something like a 2×12 laying flat against the house and attached using ledger locks)

3.    Choose Your Timber

The wood to use should be robust enough to serve its purpose for years to come. For the framing lumber, we recommend you go for natural pressure-treated wood with excellent load-bearing strength. You won’t have to make many decisions about the framing as we will be recommending you what’s needed based on your individual decks’ specs.

As for the decking material, it’s up to your budget and your personal choice as to whether you put down something like a natural redwood decking or something easier to maintain like a composite decking material.

4.    Site Plan And Preparations

For the installation process to proceed smoothly, you need a site plan. We shall handle this as well as ensure that you have all the required permits and that everything is done up to code. We have an engineer on staff which greatly speeds up this process and ensures quality control. With the site plans, we will have the blueprints that will keep us on track about the materials needed, measurements for cuts, and any project-specific guidelines. 

We will measure off the house, staking and tying a string along the way, marking out where to place the caissons. We will clear the area and if space provides we will use an auger to dig the holes for the footings that will serve as the piers for the deck. The depth of the holes for the footings will depend on the deck design you pick and the county or region’s building codes. After the holes are dug, an inspector will most likely have to come out and sign off at this point in the project.

Ask us about our pre-visualization services if you really want to plan out your project in great detail.

5.    Setting The Posts

After the inspector signs off on the holes, we will fill them back up with concrete. We will give the concrete time to cure before putting weight on them. During this time we can still move forward by using temporary lumber nailed to the frame to hold it up until the concrete cures. We set the post-to-caisson bracket. Then we will fix pressure-treated 4×4 wooden posts into the brackets, securing them in place with nails to create the deck piers.

6.    Installing The Ledger Board

The ledger board is an essential component when constructing a deck, and it attaches the deck to your house. The connection should be robust, and depending on your house, you may need to first install flashing to prevent water damage. Then attach the ledger board directly to the house’s rim joist or concrete sub-wall.

7.    Framing The Deck

With the ledger installed, you can now attach a joist on either end and a rim joist on the outside of those two and now you’ve got a giant rectangle. You can then proceed to fill the interior with framing at a certain measurement you will get from your permit. A common joist layout example is sixteen inches on center. Make sure all lumber gets installed crown up.

The joists are the support boards that form the deck’s foundation. We will use 2×6, 2×8, 2×10, or 2×12 joists depending on what your deck plans call for. Depending on the building codes in your area, you may need to add extra support in between each joist across the middle of the rectangle.

8.    Framing Around The Tree

Ideally, you placed the tree between two joists and now you just need to put two small two by’s in between the joists hugging the tree. If necessary you may need to add framing at a 45-degree angle in the corners of your newly created square to round the corners and finish creating the frame. 

If the tree isn’t small enough to fit in between two joists then you may need to add double joists in certain areas. This will depend on your particular codes, but an example is to double joists on either side of the tree. Then add double joists spanning those first two doubles creating a rectangle of double material around the tree area. This area would almost certainly need to have posts designed into the plan holding up this heavy area. You will then end up with areas that need small joists and negative spaces around the tree that need to be filled with 45-degree mini joists.

No matter the exact process, we are just trying to create a frame that encompasses the tree and is close enough so that no one accidentally steps in a vulnerable spot.

9.    Laying The Decking

Installing the decking boards can be started from the outermost edge working towards the house or from the house working out depending on your preference. We like to start at the house and move out to get that nice clean line at the house. Based on the decking material you choose we would use a tool to make sure the boards have a tight consistent gap as we secure them down using deck screws.

If you chose to go with hidden fasteners then we let the hardware and the guns set their own gap as we hold the boards tight and snap down the fasteners. We will accurately measure the boards that terminate at the tree frame for snug fit then fasten them down to the tree frame and joists with deck screws or fasteners. We jig around the tree as described earlier to get an even organic gap. When the entire deck floor is laid, we will snap a chalk line along the edges to cut any excess overhang to achieve straight lines before attaching the outer fascia.

10.    Finishing touches

To finish up the deck we would want to add stairs if needed to get down into the yard (if the deck height is above a specific height [see permit]). Also, make sure to add handrail if your deck height is above a certain level as well. To do that you add 4×4’s or similar post material to the perimeter and span those with 2×4’s full of balusters. The full details of a handrail is a mix of what is required (spacing) and what is desired (material type and color).

Wrapping up

To ensure that your new deck lasts a long time, we recommend you coat a wooden deck with a wood preservative or stain to ensure the decking is adequately sealed. Sealing the boards is essential for added protection against mold, moisture, and the sun’s rays.

If you went for a low-maintenance composite deck board option then you can just wash it off with the hose and maybe just a very small amount of dish soap if it gets dirty.

Give Your Rooms a New Look with Window Replacements in Loveland

What do you first consider while decorating your room? You plan to bring new fixtures, paint the walls, and add suitable lighting. Most people forget that windows are also a crucial element of their rooms. Windows can transform your room to a great extent. Old windows with broken hinges or tainted glasses don’t usually accentuate their beauty. This calls for immediate window replacements so that you can get rid of the old and dilapidated windows. That’s when you need to consider hiring us. We can replace your old windows with new and stylish ones.

Importance of window replacement

Windows are very versatile for any room. They add not only natural light to your room but also ensure constant ventilation and entry of fresh air. Apart from these things, windows also contribute to your room’s energy-efficiency and overall curb appeal. Having said that, it is essential to have quality windows to enjoy these benefits. Windows with broken seals and glasses will not offer so many things. That’s what makes window replacements necessary.

Window replacement in Loveland

Our company offers a variety of window replacement services in Loveland. From replacing old windows to installing new ones, we are ready to make your rooms look beautiful again. Over the years, we worked with tons of different windows. This allowed us to gain more experience in this field. Nowadays, we can work on any type of window in Loveland.

Window replacement process

We follow a simple window replacement process that works for almost all the windows.

• We start with the new window’s nailing fin. This rim allows us to secure the window in the wall’s opening. However, replacement windows don’t have these fins. Therefore, we secure the replacement window in your existing frame. We use fasteners that run through the window’s assembly, thus making it easier for us to install the new window.
• Sometimes we need to change the entire frame also. We come equipped with all the necessary tools to slowly take down the old frame before replacing it with a new one. You can go through some of the window frames before hiring us. We will come and take the measurements of your existing window, along with its openings. Accordingly, we will resize the frame and install it in your room.

Types of windows

As already mentioned, we work with almost every type of window you can think of. We have had the opportunity to work with tons of different windows in the recent past. Here are some of the most common windows we came across in Loveland.

Single-hung windows

Single-hung windows have an operable lower sash that allows you to pull it up. Some models also allow you to pivot the sash inwards so that you can clean its exterior easily.

Double-hung windows

These windows provide a classic look to your room. Both the upper and lower sashes are operable. You can raise the lower sash to allow cool air to come inside and lower the upper sash to let warmer air enter the room. Many double-hung windows also have tilted inward sashes, allowing you to clean their exteriors easily. We often see these windows on houses with a second story.

Sliding windows

Sliding windows have become widely popular in recent times. They are cheaper to install, easy to operate and require low maintenance. However, the windows operate on a slider with a fixed path. The windows will not operate if the path has a dent. These windows may have one or multiple panels, depending on their size. You can slide and open the panels for ventilation. We can replace your old single-hung or double-hung windows with sliding windows. However, we will need to change the frame. You can even hire us to install brand-new sliding windows.

Basement hopper windows

You may often see windows tilted inwards in many basements. They have hinges on the bottom. You need to push the window inwards to open it. These are basement hopper windows. They look like the lower sash of single-hung windows, only bigger. We can install and replace basement hopper windows in no time. They don’t require a lot of tools and machines for installation. Their frames look solid. We advise you to go for wooden frames as they last longer. Many manufacturers also provide aluminum frames. These have become a cost-effective alternative to wood.

Glass block windows

Glass block windows are ideal for bathrooms. They are made using individual blocks sealed together. These windows have thick, break-resistant glass that offers privacy, but also allows light to come inside your bathroom. But remember, you cannot open glass block windows. Once we fix them to the wall, you cannot move or open them. Some of the modern glass block windows have built-in vents allowing ventilation. We can install new windows and replace existing windows with glass block variants.

Apart from the top five, we also have experience in installing various other windows, such as projection windows, casement windows, picture windows, storm windows, skylights, and awning windows.

Our window frame materials

We pay a lot of attention when it comes to finesse and quality of window frame materials. The frame material affects various factors, such as durability, maintenance, and heat transfer, making it one of the essential components of your window. We make sure that your window has the best frame so that it lasts longer. Here are some of the frame materials we use:

• Vinyl

It is one of the most common window frame materials made from impact-resistant polyvinyl chloride. Vinyl has hollow chambers on its inside that helps to resist condensation and heat transfer. It is ideal for rooms where you want more warmth. These window frames don’t require additional finishing or painting. The frame lasts for years without signs of fading or rotting. We have used vinyl frames in hundreds of houses in Loveland. They are best for replacement windows.

• Aluminum

Aluminum is an economical option. They have many advantages: first, they are a cost-effective option. Second, they are easy to install compared to other window frames. Third, they are light and durable. They can last for years without requiring too much maintenance. Like vinyl, aluminum also doesn’t require additional finishing or coloring. Plus, aluminum frames are corrosion-resistant, making them ideal for areas that experience heavy rainfall.

• Wood

Wood is a popular material prevalent in Loveland. However, we advise you to use it on the interior parts of your window. Loveland experiences moderate moisture throughout the seasons. Wooden window frames can rot if they absorb moisture for long periods of time. Moreover, wood doesn’t conduct cold or heat like other materials. It also doesn’t allow condensation. They come unfinished. However, there is no match to wood’s finishing. It may have several downsides, but when it comes to using a classy window frame material, everyone will agree that wood stands apart.

• Clad-wood

Clad-wood looks similar to wood and provides all its benefits, but offers additional protection on the exterior. It uses a low-maintenance aluminum jacket to keep the window frame and panels safe. Most importantly, the cladding in these frames prevents them from rotting and makes the exterior durable. Clad-wood a good option for new windows.

Now that you know about the types of windows we can replace and install, don’t hesitate to call us. We can provide a free estimate, depending on your home’s needs. Allow us to make your rooms look better with our high-quality, yet affordable window replacement services in Loveland. Give us a call today at 970-663-2868.

Deck Construction in Fort Collins, Colorado

Are you interested in adding a deck to your property? If so, we are a local outfit offering the best deck construction services in Fort Collins, Colorado.

Decking can be used to enhance the aesthetic appeal of your property, increase the available living space and ultimately raise the property’s overall value. With all these advantages in mind, it is easy to see why these structures are so popular.

Our Services

To help our clients reap the above-mentioned benefits of having a deck, we offer the following decking services:

• Deck Installation

As an established deck construction company in Fort Collins, CO, we can help you put up the most stylish and long-lasting deck. We have the expertise and knowledge required to help guide you through the process of choosing the right type of deck and decking materials given your own personal requirements, the available space, your property’s landscape and the available budget among others.

Over the years we have worked on a variety of projects, installing wide variety types of decks along the way. Every project is unique and depending on the available space and location, we can install the following types of decks:

Attached Decks

Resembling a patio, an attached deck is made using composite or wooden decking materials. It is also slightly raised from the ground. Attached decks are commonly located at the rear end of U- or L- shaped houses.

Island/Detached Decks

Like an island, these decks are designed to stand alone. Steps or a clear path can be used to access the deck. Since they can be built over uneven or poorly drained terrain, these decks are considered to be highly versatile; unlike concrete patios, for instance.

Pool Decks

There are many reasons for you to put up a pool deck. For starters, unlike concrete or stone, the materials used do not present a slipping hazard. Furthermore, wood is less likely to scorch your feet even on the hottest of days.

In addition to increasing the space available for swimmers to soak up the sun, a pool deck can also make above ground swimming pools more accessible.

It is, however, worth mentioning the fact that wooden pool decks should be regularly maintained to keep the wood from splitting and prevent the occurrence of splinters.

Wrap Around Decks

If you are looking to follow the sun or shade or expand your living space, a wraparound deck is exactly what you need. Resembling a traditional wraparound porch, this type of deck is raised and roomier.

Multi-Level Decks

Does your property’s sloped or rocky terrain make it difficult for you to put up a concrete patio? Well if so, consider putting up multi-level decks. Linked by paths or steps, multi-level decks are simply a series of decks built on different levels, as dictated by the existing landscape.

This can also refer to a stacking multiple decks on top of each other. So if you have a tall two or even three-story house you could build multiple outdoor living spaces on top of each other.

Entryway Decks

Usually a series of linked platforms that lead to the entrance of your house, entryway decks can be used to enhance your property’s curb appeal. To do so, the decking must be designed and installed in a way that perfectly matches your home’s architecture.

Rooftop Decks

For elevated views of your home’s surroundings or even some added privacy outdoors, rooftop or garage top decks are the answer. These decks are suited to flat-roofed homes. Before construction, the structural integrity of the underlying structure must be tested, and enhanced where necessary, for safety purposes.

Decking Materials

As an experienced deck construction services provider, we understand how important it is for you to choose the right decking materials straight from the start. Climate, maintenance requirements, and cost are some of the main considerations you need to keep in mind when choosing the right material for your new deck.

Here’s a shortlist of some of the main decking material options we have found to be popular among Fort Collins homeowners over the years.

Wood

Wooden decks are quite common in the Fort Collins area. Wood, a natural material, is not only visually appealing but also strong and long-lasting. However, to keep it in its best condition, annual maintenance may be necessary depending on the specific type of wood used. This material has been known to stand up well to the high altitude and hot dry climate associated with this part of the country. When it comes to wood, you have a wide variety of options to choose from, including:

Redwood And Cedar

Resistant to both rot and insect damage, both of these options can be used to construct decks that will stand up to the extreme local climate and maintain their appeal and strength over the years, provided that the right sealant is used.

Unlike pressure-treated wood, which is known to warp and crack due to direct exposure to the elements over an extended period, redwood and cedar will maintain their original shape and form for decades.

For a seamless, refined look you can opt for wood decking systems that do not require the use of screws as fasteners.

Tropical Hardwoods

If you are looking to add an exotic feel to your new deck, consider going with tropical hardwoods such as Ipe, Philippine mahogany or tigerwood among others. In addition to being rich grained, these hardwoods are also very strong and highly durable. Like the above-described options, tropical hardwoods are also naturally resistant to rot and insect damage.

It is worth mentioning that tropical hardwood decking usually requires the use of a specialized fastening system. This is mainly due to the fact that they are so dense; making it quite difficult to drive nails or screws through the timber. These hardwoods are also harder to cut and heavier in terms of weight.

Pressure Treated (PT) Wood

As the most economical decking material, pressure-treated wood is the most affordable decking material discussed here. As the most popular decking material, pressure-treated wood is not only easier to cut but also supports the use of simple fastening systems including nails and screws.

Mostly milled from southern yellow pine, PT is treated with chemicals to make it rot and insect resistant. In recent years, the use of non-toxic chemicals has been adopted on most PT decking products for health reasons.

While PT decks are less costly to install, regular maintenance is required to prevent splitting, cracking and warping of the wood. To keep the deck looking as new as possible for as long as possible it should be power washed on an annual basis; while a wood preservative should be applied every 2 to 3 years.

Composite Materials

For those looking for the most durable, stain, insect, and weather-resistant decking material that will not warp, split or even crack, look no further than composite materials. While they may look and feel like real wood, composite materials are made using recycled plastics and wood fibers; some products are solely made of plastic.

Even though composite materials are more expensive than wood, they are fast becoming a popular decking option due to their many advantages.

• Deck Repair Services

In addition to constructing new decks from scratch, we also offer deck repair services in Fort Collins, Colorado. Proper deck maintenance and repair not only ensures that you keep your deck in the best condition even as the years go by, but also protects your investment by extending its durability.

Conclusion

Whether you are hosting guests, taking in the view or simply enjoying a cool breeze, your deck is an integral and personal part of your home. However, to create such a space you need to work with a local partner that understands the local climate and architecture among others.
