Since 2018


We are a full-service residential contracting company. We handle everything from decks and pergolas — everything outside — and we also do interior remodels, for homeowners in Colorado Springs, Monument, Black Forest and Peyton.

Not every project involves a custom fireplace, multiple decks and a big pergola. We specialise in designing and building outdoor living spaces that fit every lifestyle, whatever yours might be.

What we build

Decks, pergolas, and the details between.

Decks

Deckorators Voyage PVC over a kiln-dried, pressure-treated southern yellow pine frame. Every corner picture-framed, so there are no exposed unfinished edges anywhere you can see.

Pergolas

Western Red Cedar, with six-by-six posts notched to the beams. The open-top design breaks up the direct sunlight and leaves you room to add coverage later if you want it.

Outdoor Living

Custom stone fireplaces, patios, lighting and railings. The perfect setting for an after-dinner party, to roast marshmallows, or just to sit and enjoy the view.

The part you never see

A deck is only as good as the frame.

Most builder-grade decks are fastened to the house by screwing the ledger board directly to the outside of the siding. That creates a pocket for moisture to sit against your home.

We install acrylic flashing on all wood surfaces that contact the decking to seal out moisture — which is really the primary way to prolong the life of a deck. Collin Stoddard, Founder

We open the siding, flash the ledger properly, and detail stucco and lap siding differently because they fail differently. Most of the decks we replace have failed at exactly this location.

  • DeckingDeckorators Voyage PVC — no wood flour, so the boards expand and contract minimally and hold their shape
  • EdgesEvery corner picture-framed. No exposed, unfinished edges visible anywhere
  • RailingCustom powder-coated steel, fabricated to fit each location — strength and long-lasting durability

Who you’re hiring

Collin Stoddard.

Founded in 2018, The Stoddard Building Group specializes in designing and building high-quality outdoor living spaces. Collin runs the estimate, the design and the build — you are not handed off to a salesperson and then a stranger.

Relationships over profit

We prioritize service over sales. If we’re not the right fit, we’ll say so.

Commitment to quality

We never cut corners to lower costs. As a high-end service, we price accordingly.

Above and beyond

The details nobody would notice missing are the ones we get right anyway.

Big-picture mindset

We build for how the space will be used in ten years, not how it photographs in week one.

Collin was straight with us about what our old deck actually needed, including the parts that weren’t going to be cheap. That’s why we hired him.Google Review — placeholder copy
Crew showed up when they said, cleaned up every night, and the finish detail is better than the house it’s attached to.Google Review — placeholder copy
