Cody quotes every job himself
In Salida, ask three deck contractors whether the design comes before the build, and you can get three different answers. Integrity Exterior Services runs every deck build one way.
Design first. A structural engineer draws and stamps your deck before you file the permit, and that drawing is yours to keep whether you build with Cody or someone else. The result is a deck built for 7,083 feet and sized for the view you bought the property for.

What does a deck contractor do in Salida, CO?
A deck contractor in Salida designs, permits and builds decks, pergolas and replacements for mountain homes and acreage lots. On wooded ground, Colorado's wildfire code also requires noncombustible, fire-retardant, or ignition-resistant decking in higher-risk areas. Cody quotes every job on site and stays through handover.
Deck work Integrity Exterior Services takes on
Deck Building
New decks for Chaffee County properties, from cabins in the pines to acreage with a long view.
Wood, composite or metal framing: Cody handles the job himself from the first site visit to the final walkthrough, so the person who measured your property is the person who hands the deck over.
Hillside lots raise their own questions. Grading, sun and access on wooded ground around Salida, Poncha Springs and Buena Vista all get worked out on site before anything is quoted.
Deck Design and Permitting
Skip the engineering, and a permit application can come straight back.
Every deck Integrity Exterior Services builds is drawn and stamped by a structural engineer before Cody applies for the permit. Design fees are discussed up front. They come off your estimate if you build with him. If not, the stamped drawing is still yours, ready for a like-for-like quote from anyone.
Chaffee County builds to the 2021 International Residential Code and a 115 mph design wind speed, which a stamped drawing must meet.
Composite Deck Installation
At 7,083 feet, the sun is hard on stained wood, and the usual answer is restaining about every three years.
Composite decking skips that cycle. Integrity Exterior Services installs it to the same engineered standard as every wood deck, with the same stamped drawing and permit handling.
It does cost more than wood up front. What you get back is the restaining you never have to do, which counts for more the higher and further out your property sits.
Fire-Rated and Metal-Framed Deck Construction
Chaffee County's wildfire plan counts the deck as part of the house, with the 30 feet around both treated as the zone needing maximum hazard reduction.
Poncha Springs and Maysville each have their own community wildfire plan. For homes in the pines out there, fire-rated decking and metal framing are worth asking about before color.
Integrity Exterior Services builds both, engineered and stamped like every deck. Metal framing costs more. It's worth talking through on site, where Cody can see the lot and the trees.
Deck Replacement
When a deck has gone soft, gray or unsafe, Cody checks the framing underneath before quoting anything cosmetic, because fresh stain won't fix a soft joist.
A replacement follows the same engineered drawing and permit process as a new build, including reframing where the structure is the real problem.
It has to. A replacement is permitted to today's code, and in Chaffee County that's the 2021 International Residential Code, regardless of the standard the old deck was built under.
Deck Repair
Not every deck problem needs a rebuild.
Integrity Exterior Services repairs boards, railings and framing, including decks another contractor built. Every repair starts with an on-site look, and the work is scoped to the section that's actually failing, whether that's a soft board by the steps or a railing that's come loose.
Cody sees plenty of the other kind too: decks that were overcharged and underdelivered the first time, and now need putting right after a few mountain winters.
Pergola Building
A pergola puts shade over the part of the deck you actually spend time on.
Integrity Exterior Services builds pergolas to the same engineered standard as the decks beside them, so the shade is part of the plan from the first engineer's drawing.
On exposed mountain lots, that shade earns its keep. July afternoons in Salida average 85°F at 7,083 feet, often with little natural cover between the deck and the sun. A pergola changes that.
Want space at ground level beside the deck? Integrity Exterior Services also pours concrete patios and stamped and decorative concrete.
