Fire-Resistant Decking Pueblo West CO

Fire-Resistant Decking

Fire-Resistant Decking is a Must-Have in Colorado’s Pikes Peak Region

Since 2023, Colorado Springs County has required that decks built within the Colorado Springs Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) must be made from ignition-resistant materials and include fire mitigation features in order to help protect homes in the event of a wildfire. Western Elements has plenty of experience designing and building fire-resistant decks for our customers in Pueblo West and the rest of the Pikes Peak region. We’ll help you identify the best type of fire-resistant decking for your home, design it to your liking, and build it to ensure it’s ready for whatever Mother Nature throws at it.

Types of Fire-Resistant Decking

The material to be used for your custom deck will largely depend on your location. The more wildfire risk an area faces, the more protection you’ll need. Colorado requires fire-resistant decks to have either of the following flame spread ratings:

Class A – We install PVC decking that meets this requirement.
Class B – The composite decking we offer falls into this category.

Additionally, we use Class A-rated steel deck framing to add even more protection to the fire-resistant decks we build. These materials won’t detract from the beauty of your deck, but they will add unbeatable longevity and fire resistance.

Class A-Rated PVC Decking

If you’re looking for a new deck that will need virtually no maintenance for as long as you live in your home, PVC decking may be your best bet. The PVC decks we build look just like real wood, but are 100% synthetic and naturally resistant to water damage, mold, mildew, rot, and fire without the need for regular sealing. Its Class A rating means that PVC meets the highest standards for flame spread resistance and make this material a great option for your peace of mind.

Class B-Rated Composite Decking

If you live in an area with a lower risk of being affected by a wildfire, and if you don’t want to take on the higher upfront cost of PVC decking, Class B-rated composite decking will more than get the job done. Composite decking is a blend of organic wood fibers and synthetic polymers engineered to look and feel more like natural wood without any of its weaknesses.

We had a really frustrating situation after another company completely messed up our deck, and these guys stepped in and fixed everything the right way. The difference in quality and attention to detail was night and day. They were honest, reliable, and actually cared about getting it done correctly. We’re so grateful we found them and would absolutely recommend them to anyone.

We had some exterior stairs replaced by Western Elements. Karen, Joe and Mason were such a pleasure to work with. They were very conscientious about the quality of their materials and labor. The outcome was beautiful and far better than we had hoped for. We highly recommend this great company!

Bob M.

Joe is amazing- He did a wonderful job building our deck. He was extremely communicative, the job was done quickly and most importantly, he treated us like family. Western Elements is a small business, and the finished product rivals the work of any larger construction company. I would recommend Western Elements to anyone looking to build a new, beautiful, safe deck.

Madeline S.

Western Elements rebuilt a deck with roof addition for us. They were professional, communicative, and had great workmanship, always respectful of our property and us. They treated the project as equally important to themselves as it was to us. We are thrilled with our new deck, grateful to Joe and Mason for the fantastic workmanship, and grateful to Karen for her attention to the details in the documentation. We would highly recommend them to our friends and family and will hire them For future projects without hesitation.

Great service, great people and great price. I was lucky to find this family owned business in my pursue for a deck building company. Joe made us feel at ease about the process, assisted us in developing a concept and exceeded our expectation with the quality of the finished product. His sons -Mason and Logan- where pleasantly professional and masters of their craft. I strongly recommend them and will keep their business card for future projects.

David F.

Our backyard Trex deck was getting close to 30 years old, built with old materials and technology. We did some research and called Western Elements. This is primarily a family operation. Joe came out and we envisioned a replacement with his help. We were not in a huge hurry. We got on the schedule and soon enough, it was time. Joe, his son Mason, and sometimes another fully capable helper did every thing themselves. These guys are METICULOUS! We now have a new deck, new pergola, and covered patio that looks way beyond what we thought. We have not seen contractors as conscientious and dedicated as Western Elements. Extremely pleasant to work with. I really wish we had other projects for them to work on. There is a solid reason why they get 5 star reviews.
