Fulcrest designs and builds ground-level and elevated decks in Berthoud, with cedar or composite decking and custom options for railings, stairs, seating and lighting.
Town guidance identifies decks and patio covers among permit projects and identifies pergolas over 120 square feet or attached to the house as permit work. Planning review may also apply, so the exact property and design must be checked.

The Town treats residential decks as permitted construction. Contractors must hold the appropriate Town license before applying for a building permit, so licensing and the permit path are confirmed before construction.
Established neighborhoods and newer development can create different setbacks, grades, access, landscaping and existing-home conditions. We evaluate the actual property rather than applying one stock layout.
Ground-level and elevated decks, composite and cedar, with railings, stairs, built-in seating and lighting. We design and build them ourselves, so what's drawn is developed with the build in mind. If the deck is one part of a bigger backyard plan, start with complete outdoor living in Berthoud.
Berthoud's known as the Garden Spot of Colorado, and a deck going in near Fickel Park downtown faces different HOA review than one out by Heron Lakes or TPC Colorado. The Town also publishes its own joist-span table for uncovered decks, separate from what most Front Range towns default to.
Berthoud's current Building Department guidance lists decks as residential permit work and requires contractors to be licensed with the Town before applying for a building permit. Site and structural documentation depend on the actual project, so we verify current submittal requirements for the address rather than promising a universal checklist.
Berthoud is a mix: established streets with mature trees and settled homes, alongside newer master-planned neighborhoods still filling in. Those are genuinely different building conditions, and a deck that suits one doesn't automatically suit the other. What your lot allows, how the house sits on it, and what the Town requires all get worked out before we start.
Yes — the Town identifies residential decks as permit work. We verify the current submittal requirements for the specific project during planning.
Yes. Berthoud currently requires contractors to be licensed with the Town before applying for a building permit.
It depends on the property and project. We verify the Town's current site-document requirements rather than assuming every deck needs the same survey documentation.
Both can work well here. Composite and cedar differ in maintenance, heat, appearance and repairability; the Learning Center comparison covers those tradeoffs in detail.
