Deck builder in Windsor CO

Windsor began with a halfway house built in 1873 between Greeley and Fort Collins, and it still sits between the two. In the last two decades it has grown fast, mostly west toward the I-25 interchange, where its town limits now meet Loveland and are separated from southeast Fort Collins by Larimer County's Fossil Creek open space. That growth means a lot of newer houses with bare backyards, and a lot of first decks.

Around Windsor Lake, where houses face the water, decks are about the view, so cable railing and glass come up often. On newer subdivision lots, good starting points are a composite deck off the kitchen, a covered patio for afternoon shade, or a screened porch.

Windsor deck permits

The Town of Windsor handles building permits for everything inside town limits, whether the lot is in Larimer or Weld County. Its building permits page carries a FAQ on permits for decks, porches and pergolas and an Uncovered Decks and Porches handout. This page doesn't quote the Town's thresholds; check the current exemptions with the Town's building division before drawing plans.

Before you apply

Check the plat or survey for easements and setbacks; lake lots and newer subdivisions often have both.
If there's an HOA, get its written approval of the design first.
Measure the deck's height above grade at its highest point and note whether it attaches to the house.
Mark any window wells under the deck footprint; escape windows need clearance under a deck.
Call 811 before digging footings.

Worked example

A lake-facing deck with cable railing in Windsor

In this example a walkout house on Windsor Lake wants a deck 8 feet above the yard, attached along its 20 foot side and facing the water. Cable railing keeps the view; the posts go 4 feet apart and the cables 3 inches apart, the spacing Fort Collins requires, which is a safe target until the Town confirms its own.

The HOA approves the design first, then the Town permit, then footings 30 inches deep.

16 x 20 ft (320 sq ft) deck at $22 to $55 per sq ft	$7,040 to $17,600
48 ft of stainless cable railing (two 16 ft sides and the 20 ft front, less a 4 ft stair opening) at $150 to $285 per ft	$7,200 to $13,680
Town permit	Set by the Town of Windsor
Example total before stairs and the permit	$14,240 to $31,280

How much does a deck cost in Windsor?

About $22 to $55 per square foot installed for a new deck in the Denver market, with an average of $9,640 (Angi, 2026). A 16 by 20 deck comes to roughly $7,040 to $17,600 at that rate, and an installed composite deck runs about $25 to $54 a foot on Angi's national figures.

How much would a 20x20 deck cost in Windsor?

About $8,800 to $22,000 for 400 square feet at the Denver-market rate of $22 to $55 per square foot installed (Angi, 2026). On a walkout lot where the deck sits 8 feet up, taller posts, bracing, guards on every open side and a long stair push it toward the top of that range.

Roughly $6,160 to $15,400 for 280 square feet at $22 to $55 per square foot, or $7,000 to $15,120 as an installed composite deck at Angi's national $25 to $54 (2026). If the HOA calls for composite or a set color, start from the composite figure.

Can you build a deck for $10,000 in Windsor?

Often, if the deck is low and simple. A 14 by 16 deck at the Denver-market rate runs about $4,928 to $12,320, so the low and middle of that range fit under $10,000. A lake-view deck with cable railing usually won't, because stainless cable alone runs $150 to $285 per foot installed (HomeGuide, 2026).

Does my HOA have to approve a deck in Windsor?

If your neighborhood has an HOA, assume yes and ask before you design. Covenants commonly control materials, colors, height and how far a deck can extend, and their approval usually has to come before the Town permit. Get it in writing, and give the HOA the same drawings the Town will see.
