MORRISON, CO – July 28, 2026 – PRESSADVANTAGE –
Colorado Custom Covers and Decks, a locally owned outdoor living contractor, has been recognized in the North American Deck and Railing Association’s 2025 National+ Deck Competition, earning second place in the Open Porch category and third place in the Alternative Deck category. The awards were presented on January 8, 2026, at the association’s annual event in Clearwater Beach, Florida.
The recognition adds to a record that includes NADRA national awards in each of the past several years. The competition evaluates projects submitted by deck and outdoor living professionals across North America, judged on creativity, use of space, craftsmanship, and complexity. Entries are reviewed by industry peers, which the company notes is part of what gives the recognition its weight.
“Being recognized again by NADRA means a great deal, because these projects are judged by people who understand the craft,” said Jonathan Moeller, owner of Colorado Custom Covers and Decks. “Every one of these builds came out of the same conditions we work in every day here in the foothills, and that is what makes the recognition meaningful.”
Colorado Custom Covers and Decks, founded by Moeller in 2016, focuses on custom decks and outdoor structures built for the terrain and climate of Morrison and the surrounding Denver foothills. The company works from a base on Plateau Circle and builds with local crews who live and work in the same communities. Moeller brings more than fifteen years of industry experience to the work, having started in remodeling before concentrating on custom decks and outdoor living structures.
The foothills setting shapes much of what the company builds. Sloped and rocky lots often require elevated structures rather than ground-level builds, and the company constructs raised, multi-level, freestanding, and cantilevered decks set on concrete footings sized for the terrain. On some sites, rocky ground adds complexity to the foundation work, requiring careful placement of footings before framing begins. Framing is built with wood, steel, composite, and pressure-treated lumber, drawing on the company’s standing as a ProWood ambassador, a material affiliation relevant to the framing systems used on these projects.
High elevation also affects material selection. Intense ultraviolet exposure, wide temperature swings, and heavy winter snow loads place more stress on outdoor structures than at lower elevations. The company builds with composite decking from Deckorators and with exotic hardwoods such as Ipe and Tigerwood, materials selected to resist fading and moisture over time. Guiding homeowners toward materials suited to the climate is a consistent part of the company’s process, with the goal of structures that hold up over decades rather than seasons.
Beyond the deck surface, the company installs railing systems including glass, cable, aluminum, and wrought iron designs intended to meet safety requirements while preserving the mountain views common to foothills properties. Deck lighting and underdeck drainage systems are among the finishing elements the company installs, the latter designed to manage snowmelt and runoff on elevated decks and create usable space below. Its broader work includes patio covers, pergolas, porches, patios, gazebos, and outdoor living features such as outdoor kitchens and fire features, supported by three-dimensional design and rendering during planning so homeowners can review a project before construction begins.
“What we try to do is build something that still performs twenty years from now, not just the season it goes in,” Moeller said. “At this elevation, the decisions you make on the foundation and the materials are what determine that.”
Colorado Custom Covers and Decks holds the Deckorators Certified Elite designation and maintains an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. The company has completed more than 400 projects across the Front Range foothills, and its work has been recognized by NADRA in multiple consecutive years.
