EXCELLENT Based on 38 reviews Posted on Google Miles HendersonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were surprised at how easy Jon Potter made getting our deck approved and built. He handled all the paperwork and even accompanied us to the HOA review meeting, which really made a difference. The deck builder and privacy screens his team designed got approved on the first try, something that rarely happens in our neighborhood. The crew was respectful and quiet while working, which we appreciated since most of us work from home. Eight months later, the deck still looks fantastic and hasn’t required any maintenance.Posted on Google Kate RileyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a difference the new privacy screens made along the edge of our deck. We finally have privacy from the neighbors while still enjoying a clear view of the trees. The team at Alta Outdoor Living handled the entire project smoothly from start to finish. Jeff Potter came out to our home in Parker with samples and never pushed us toward the more expensive options. The composite decking matches our trim perfectly, and the whole project wrapped up in about two weeks. No complaints at all.Posted on Google Jared WatsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were initially told by several deck builders that the cost to engineer a deck would be very high. Jeff Potter saw it differently and proposed a much simpler solution that fit the terrain perfectly without overcomplicating the design. The end result was a multi-level composite deck that feels natural and thoughtfully planned, not forced in any way. We later added an Azenco roof, and it blended seamlessly with the original deck layout. The pricing was fair, the project stayed on schedule, and the crew always made sure the site was cleaned up at the end of each day.Posted on Google Penelope CastilloTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We wanted to upgrade our deck in Monument without starting completely from scratch, and this team delivered exactly that. They reused the existing posts, which saved us a lot of money, and only replaced what truly needed work. Dave Little’s crew was efficient and thoughtful throughout the process. Jon even caught and fixed a drainage issue that no one else had brought up. The new Azenco louvered roof is perfect for adjusting shade, and since the project was finished in May, we’ve been using the deck almost every day.Posted on Google Jamar McknightTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We explored a few contractors for our Cherry Creek deck, and most suggested doing a complete tear-down. Jon Potter, however, offered a much smarter approach, he kept the existing foundation and built on it, which not only made more sense but also saved us money. The Azenco roof they installed has been solid, no leaks and completely quiet when it operates. In the end, it turned out exactly as we hoped.Posted on Google Ross BradfordTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I got sideswiped while riding in a Lyft and had no idea how the insurance side of things worked. The team explained who’s responsible in a rideshare accident, what evidence actually mattered, and what to expect along the way. They were easy to reach, always calling back the same day, and never made me feel rushed. I ended up with a fair settlement and didn’t have to guess what was going on.Posted on Google Natalie RogersTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wasn’t enjoying how exposed our backyard felt, neighbors could see everything, so having Alta Outdoor Living install privacy screens really changed things. Light still comes through, but now we can actually relax without feeling watched. They even added a composite deck, which turned out great. Jon Potter answered all our questions without rushing us, and the whole project finished faster than quoted here in Larkspur.Posted on Google Estrella DejesusTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jon Potter came up with a smart solution for our sloped property in Black Forest that didn’t need heavy excavation or complicated engineering. The multi-level design ended up looking even better than what we first had in mind. It’s been three months now, and everything is still solid as a rock—even after all the challenges of building on that slope.Posted on Google Sebastian BurtonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jeff Potter walked us through different material options without ever pushing the pricey choices. The composite boards they recommended ended up matching our house trim perfectly. They built a deck extension that blends seamlessly with our existing layout—it doesn’t even look like an addition. The whole project was wrapped up in just two weeks, and it gave us exactly what we needed: something functional but low-key.
