Attached Deck Construction

Flicker Construction LLC is a family-owned company with over 10 years of dedicated decking experience. Every attached deck is built by our in-house crew — no subcontractors — and we are fully licensed and insured. You work directly with the builder from the first phone call to the final walkthrough.

Here's why that matters more on an attached deck than almost anywhere else: the ledger connection — where your deck bolts to your house — gets buried behind the finished deck and stays invisible for decades. It's the one part of your deck you can't check later, which makes it the part that most rewards hiring builders who refuse to cut corners you'll never see.

We also give 10 percent of our profits to local causes, including our partnership with the ASPCA.

Home inspectors routinely find decks mounted straight over siding with no flashing at all — including on newer homes. That shortcut is invisible on day one and expensive by year five. We don't take it.

"Will you have to cut into my siding?" Yes — a small section, and you want us to.

Attaching a ledger over the top of siding is exactly the shortcut that causes attached decks to fail: water migrates behind the board and into the bolt holes, gets trapped against the house, and rots the framing from the outside in. The right way — the way building codes and every major decking manufacturer prescribe — is to remove a small section of siding down to the sheathing, install the moisture barrier and flashing, fasten the ledger to the structure, and finish the transition clean.

When we're done, the connection sheds water the way your roof does, and the siding around it looks the way it should. You'll never see the most important work we did — which is exactly the point.

For most homes, attached is the answer — it's how we build the majority of our decks. You get direct access from the house, the strongest use of your yard space, and the most economical structure, because your home carries one side of the load.

The honest exceptions: some houses can't safely take a ledger. Brick and stone veneer can't carry a deck's load, and certain floor framing — like cantilevered sections — leaves nothing solid to bolt to. In those cases the right answer is a self-supporting deck that stands on its own structure, and we'll tell you that at the site assessment rather than force an attachment your house can't hold. Whatever your home needs, it's covered within every type of deck we build.

Pricing varies by material: Pressure-Treated Wood: $30 – $40 per sq. ft. (The lowest upfront cost, but requires staining every 2–3 years to handle intense Colorado sunshine). Cedar or Redwood: $40 – $55 per sq. ft. (Naturally pest-resistant and handles local temperature swings well). Standard Composite (e.g., Trex, Fiberon): $35 – $60 per sq. ft. (The most popular local choice; resists fading and requires zero staining). Premium PVC / Capped Composite: $55 – $75+ per sq. ft. (Top-tier brands or multi-toned boards with extended warranties) — published right here, not saved for the phone call. Attached decks typically sit at the friendlier end of a project budget for their size, for a simple structural reason: your house carries one side of the deck, so you're not paying for a second full support structure on that edge. Size, height, and material choice drive where your project lands, and your free estimate puts a firm number on it.

The price on your estimate is the price you pay. No upselling, no surprises.
