Centennial homeowners live between two different worlds: the office towers of the Denver Tech Center and the open space along Cherry Creek State Park. Griffin Decks & Covers builds decks that hold up to both, from a quiet spot to decompress after a DTC commute to a structure sturdy enough for a yard that backs onto the park’s greenbelt. Our crews have worked this stretch of the Front Range for over 30 years.
Over 30 years of hands-on experience delivering beautiful custom decks.
Built specifically to withstand Centennial’s unique weather and seasonal changes.
Every deck is tailored to fit your home’s style and your lifestyle needs.
We use only premium wood and composite materials for lasting beauty and durability.
From design to finishing touches, we treat each project with the care it deserves.
Many of the homes we build for near the DTC corridor are on smaller, newer lots than you’ll find further south in Douglas County, so layout matters more. We design around what’s actually there: a narrow side yard, a walkout basement, or a fence line shared with a neighbor on a cul-de-sac.
If your current deck is sound but tired, our deck repair team can often restore the structure instead of a full rebuild. And if shade is the bigger issue, especially on a west-facing deck catching the afternoon sun, a custom patio cover paired with your deck stretches the space you can actually use into July and August. Start with a free consultation to see which approach fits your yard.
If your Centennial lot backs onto the greenbelt near Cherry Creek State Park, a deck gives you a way to actually use that view instead of just looking at it through a window. It becomes the spot for morning coffee before the DTC commute or a weekend cookout once the trail traffic dies down.
Centennial's resale market moves fast, and buyers relocating for DTC jobs are often comparing several similar floor plans on the same street. A well-built deck is one of the few upgrades that separates your listing from the house next door.
Some Centennial homeowners want a deck built for a full weekend of grilling and hosting; others just want a low-key landing spot off the back door before or after work. We walk your yard and design around the version you actually described, not a standard layout.
Arapahoe County's clay-heavy soil expands and contracts with the freeze-thaw cycle, which is what cracks slabs and works fasteners loose over a few winters. We set footings below the frost line and use fastener systems built for that movement, not just for sun and snow load.
Homes closer to Cherry Creek State Park see more foot traffic from deer and the occasional raccoon looking for an easy path through the yard, so we often steer those clients toward composite boards that shrug off scratching. Homes further into the interior neighborhoods, away from the greenbelt, have more flexibility to go with a natural wood look since wear from wildlife is less of a factor.
The right style depends on where in Centennial you’re building. Walkout basements near the greenbelt trails favor a raised deck, while the flatter, tighter lots off Arapahoe Road usually call for a simple platform build.
We begin with a free in-home consultation, scheduled around your work day. We walk the yard, note the grade and any greenbelt setback, and get a clear idea of what you need before drawing anything up.
Next, we collaborate to create a custom design tailored to your style, budget, and lifestyle. From size and shape to materials and finishes, we guide you through every choice.
We handle the City of Centennial permit submittal and, when your subdivision requires it, the HOA architectural review packet at the same time, so one doesn’t hold up the other.
Once approved, our crew builds efficiently with minimal disruption, which matters on the tighter lots common in Centennial’s newer subdivisions. Most projects finish within 1 to 2 weeks.
With construction complete, it is time to enjoy your new custom deck, perfect for relaxing, entertaining, and making memories throughout the seasons.
Yes. We schedule the free in-home consultation around your work day, including evenings and Saturdays, so you don’t have to take time off to get started.
We do. We prepare the drawings your HOA committee needs and submit them alongside the City of Centennial permit application, so the two approvals move at the same time instead of one holding up the other.
Some subdivisions along the greenbelt carry additional rear-yard setbacks in the plat or the HOA covenant. We check your specific lot before designing anything, so the deck we draw up is one the city will actually approve.
It affects the footings more than anything else. We set posts below the frost line and use fastener systems designed to move with expansive soil, rather than fighting against it.
Often, yes, but it depends on your lot’s zoning setback. We verify the setback for your specific address before we design, so you’re not stuck redrawing plans after submittal.
Both. Shared-wall and reduced-footprint lots need a different framing approach than a standard backyard, and we design for that from the start rather than shrinking a standard deck plan to fit.
