From Unused Deck to Dream Retreat: How One Parker, CO Couple Discovered Year-Round Outdoor Living

Many Colorado homeowners dream of enjoying their decks year-round — but the weather doesn't always cooperate. For one couple in Parker, CO, their covered deck sat mostly unused. The wind, cold, and unpredictable Colorado elements made it uncomfortable to spend time outside.

That all changed when they partnered with Masterpiece Outdoorliving to reimagine their space into a luxury 4-season outdoor living area that now serves as the heart of their home.

When we first met this Parker couple, they already had a deck and roof structure, but it wasn't functional. Despite the beautiful mountain views and sunshine, the space was too exposed to be comfortable. Colorado's ever-changing weather — from gusty winds to chilly evenings — made outdoor entertaining almost impossible.

They wanted a way to enjoy their backyard every day, not just a few weeks out of the year.

During their design consultation, Garth, our owner and lead designer, worked closely with the homeowners to understand how they wanted to live outdoors. The goal was simple yet ambitious:
→ Turn an underused deck into a year-round retreat that feels as cozy as it looks.

The final design included:

• A Clearview glass wall system that opens to the fresh air or closes tight against the wind and snow
• A fire feature surrounded by wind-blocking glass for warmth and ambiance
• A built-in outdoor kitchen and bar seating for entertaining
• Infrared heaters and low-voltage lighting to make evenings inviting year-round
• Maintenance-free decking and a lifetime steel frame for durability in Colorado's climate

The Transformation: Comfort Meets Luxury

The difference was immediate. What was once a space they avoided became the most used area of their home. Morning coffee by the fire. Evening cocktails with friends. Quiet time surrounded by the beauty of Parker's open skies — all made possible by a thoughtfully designed 4-season outdoor living space.

They told us, "We use this space every single day now — even in the middle of winter."

One of the things the homeowners appreciated most was how easy the process was. From the first consultation to the final walkthrough, the Masterpiece Outdoorliving team handled every detail — design, materials, construction, and finishing touches — so they didn't have to juggle multiple contractors or worry about scheduling.

Our full-service design-build approach means one team, one vision, and one extraordinary result.
