Pergolas, awnings, and covered patios built to handle Colorado weather—designed by experienced Denver contractors.
At The Handyman Services, we build decks and patio covers that stand up to Denver's intense UV rays, hail storms, and freeze-thaw cycles. Whether you want a modern pergola to create shade in Westminster, an awning over your Littleton patio, or a fully enclosed sunroom in Aurora, we have the structural expertise and Colorado Front Range permit knowledge to deliver on time and on budget.
We've completed hundreds of outdoor structures across Boulder, Broomfield, Thornton, and beyond. Every project is built to code, designed for your climate zone, and finished to last decades.
A well-designed pergola adds function and value. We build freestanding and attached pergolas with proper load calculations for Colorado wind and snow. Most Denver-area homeowners ask for stained cedar, treated lumber, or aluminum frames. The design matters as much as the build. We position pergolas to maximize afternoon shade, minimize Western exposure, and integrate with your home's existing lines. Littleton and Lakewood projects often benefit from orienting the slats for summer cooling without blocking winter sun. Post footings go below the frost line (critical in Colorado), beam connections are bolted, and every structure is sized for the snow load at your elevation. Permitting in Denver and surrounding areas is handled by us.
Polycarbonate awnings deliver year-round protection. Unlike fabric, polycarbonate blocks UV while letting light through, and it handles hail impact that would shred canvas. Lakewood and Boulder homes benefit from the durability—you don't replace the cover every few years. We install retractable awnings for flexibility or fixed polycarbonate panels for permanent coverage. Gutters and downspouts are integrated to manage Colorado's unpredictable weather. Aluminum frames are standard; we size them to resist wind uplift at Front Range elevations and ensure water sheds properly away from your foundation.
A patio cover is only as good as its foundation. We pour concrete pads using proper slope and reinforcement for Colorado's freeze-thaw cycle. Broomfield and Fort Collins winters cause concrete to heave if not installed correctly—we know the details. Finishes include broom, brushed, stamped, or exposed aggregate. We can tint concrete to complement your home or create decorative patterns. Sealing is included to extend the life in harsh Front Range conditions. If you're adding a roof over an existing patio, we assess the foundation first and make repairs or reinforce as needed.
Want more than a cover? We build fully enclosed sunrooms and patio rooms. Glass walls, skylights, insulation, HVAC integration—we handle the complete scope. Aurora and Englewood projects range from seasonal rooms to year-round living spaces. Electrical work is included if you want lighting or outlets inside. We coordinate HVAC extension for heating and cooling. Building permits and inspections are part of our process. These are major construction projects, and we bring full remodel expertise. Framing, windows, doors, insulation, drywall, flooring—we manage every trade.
Denver, Westminster, and Lakewood have specific requirements for covered structures. We know snow load calculations at your elevation, wind resistance ratings, setback rules, and HOA review processes. Permits are filed and inspections are coordinated by us—no surprises.
We specify materials tested for UV, hail, and temperature swings. Pressure-treated lumber is sized conservatively. Fasteners are stainless steel or galvanized to resist rust. Concrete mixes include air entrainment for freeze-thaw cycles. We don't cut corners on durability.
Post footings are engineered for load and frost depth. Beam sizing accounts for snow and wind. Every connection is bolted or properly fastened. We build structures that pass inspection the first time and last 20+ years with minimal maintenance.

Yes. We handle all permitting for Denver, Westminster, Lakewood, and surrounding areas. Most covered structures and elevated decks require permits and inspections. We file applications, coordinate inspections, and ensure code compliance. The cost varies by scope and location; we include permits in our initial estimate.
Polycarbonate and aluminum are popular for durability in Colorado's hail season. Cedar pergolas are attractive but require maintenance. If you want permanent coverage that resists hail and UV, polycarbonate with aluminum framing is the most reliable choice for Denver and the Front Range. We can show samples and discuss trade-offs.
Cost depends on size, material, and complexity. A basic 12x16 polycarbonate awning runs $2,500–$4,500 installed. A cedar pergola of the same size is typically $3,000–$5,000. Enclosed sunrooms and room additions start at $15,000 and go much higher. We provide a detailed estimate after a site visit.
Clear the area of furniture and debris. If you have an existing patio, we inspect it for cracks or settling. No additional prep is usually needed on your end—we handle all structural work, post installation, and finishing.
Yes, if the deck is structurally sound. We inspect the deck frame, posts, and foundation. If upgrades are needed (additional posts, bracing, or reinforcement), we complete that work before installing the cover.
A simple pergola or awning takes 2–5 days. Larger projects like enclosed sunrooms take 4–8 weeks depending on permitting and weather. We'll give you a timeline with your estimate and keep you updated throughout. Bad concrete fails even with seal. Good concrete stays durable when sealed.

I had a few things around the house that needed attention — a leaking kitchen sink, a loose faucet, and a couple of light fixtures that needed to be replaced. The handyman showed up on time, worked efficiently, and explained everything he was doing. Everything works perfectly now and the price was very reasonable. I’ll definitely call again for future projects.
We hired them to mount a large TV above our fireplace and install some shelving in the living room. The installation looks fantastic and everything is perfectly level and secure. He was very professional, clean, and clearly knew what he was doing. It’s hard to find reliable help these days, but this company is the real deal.
Our toilet started constantly running and I couldn’t figure out what was wrong. The handyman came out the same day, diagnosed the issue quickly, and replaced the parts inside the tank. The repair was fast and now it works like new. Super friendly service and very knowledgeable.
We had several small projects piling up around the house — a towel rack that came loose, a cabinet door that wouldn’t close properly, and a bathroom fixture that needed to be replaced. Instead of calling multiple companies, we had them handle everything in one visit. The work was high quality and done much faster than we expected.
Excellent experience from start to finish. They installed a new kitchen faucet, fixed a slow draining sink, and even helped adjust a door that had been sticking for months. Everything was done professionally and the workspace was left spotless. It’s great knowing we now have a dependable handyman to call.
