Patio Covers, Pergolas & Decks in Brighton, CO

Brighton is growing fast, and many newer homes come with a bare concrete patio and full afternoon sun. We add shade and living space with custom patio covers, pergolas, screen rooms, and decks built for open-plains wind and snow, and we handle City of Brighton permits and HOA approvals.

Building a Patio Cover, Pergola or Deck in Brighton: What to Know

Permits in Brighton come from the City of Brighton Building Division through the One-Stop Customer Service Center (303-655-2017). Brighton builds to the 2021 International Codes and the 2023 National Electrical Code, and publishes a separate form listing its code editions and design loads.

When you need a permit:

  • Decks and porches: Brighton's permit FAQ says decks and porches need a permit and doesn't list a size or height exemption.
  • Sheds and small structures: a permit is required at 120 sq ft or larger.
  • Patio covers, pergolas and sunrooms: the city's list says it is "not limited to" the items shown, so call to confirm before you build.

Check your HOA and drainage. Many Brighton neighborhoods have HOA covenants and builder-set grades. We check your HOA rules and your lot's drainage before we set footings.

Brighton requires a city contractor license (Class C covers residential work) with at least $1 million in general liability insurance. Homeowners working on their own homes are exempt. Call the One-Stop center at 303-655-2017 to confirm snow load, frost depth and permit rules for your project.

Built for Colorado's Climate, Permitted for Your City.

Colorado's intense UV, heavy spring snow loads, hail, and rapid freeze-thaw cycles demand structures engineered specifically for the Front Range. Our patio covers, pergolas, screen rooms, and decks are built with materials and fastening methods rated for these conditions, so your outdoor shade structure holds up season after season.

Each municipality, from Denver to Aurora, Arvada, Westminster, Thornton, Lakewood, Littleton, Centennial, and Highlands Ranch, has its own permitting rules, setback requirements, and HOA design standards. Our team handles the paperwork and inspections so homeowners don't have to navigate it alone.
