Meet Dale Ervin

Founder, President & Outdoor Living Specialist

At the executive helm, design vision, and master building core of Custom Decks is Founder and President Dale Ervin. Serving homeowners across the Front Range and Mountain Communities of Colorado, Dale brings nearly three decades of specialized outdoor construction experience to every custom build. Dale leads his locally owned and family-operated firm with a singular commitment: engineering world-class, architectural outdoor spaces that expand living areas, withstand harsh high-altitude climate conditions, and enhance home values.

Dale’s core area of expertise centers on complete outdoor living design and custom composite deck construction. Designing decks across Colorado’s diverse topography—from suburban Front Range landscapes to steep mountain terrain—requires advanced structural engineering, precise weight load calculations, deep frost-line footing installations, and climate-specific material selection. As an Outdoor Living Specialist, Dale designs multi-level composite decks, covered patio structures, custom pergolas, outdoor kitchens, integrated fire features, and custom cable or glass railing systems engineered to handle heavy snow loads and high UV exposure.

Establishing Custom Decks nearly 30 years ago, Dale has cultivated an elite team that brings more than 150 years of combined building experience to every project. Under his direction, Custom Decks has completed custom builds for over 2,000 Colorado homeowners, earning a reputation for award-winning craftsmanship, nation-wide industry recognition, and an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau.

Three Decades of Colorado Heritage, Elite Platinum Certifications & 10-Year Warranties

Dale believes that an exceptional outdoor space requires pairing elite craftsmanship with top-tier composite materials. Under Dale’s leadership, Custom Decks has achieved the highest manufacturer certifications available in the decking industry. The firm is recognized as a Trex Platinum Installer, a TimberTech Platinum Pro Installer, and a Pro Elite Installer by Deckorators. These prestigious manufacturer credentials reflect Dale’s mastery of custom board bending, hidden fastener systems, substructure ventilation, and precision framing.

Dale’s operational model focuses on seamless, stress-free project management for every client. Custom Decks manages all aspects of pre-construction, including 3D design renderings, HOA approval documentation, engineering reviews, and local municipal building permits. To ensure total peace of mind and back the firm's structural integrity, Dale provides an industry-leading 10-Year Workmanship Warranty alongside full manufacturer material warranties on every project.

Understanding that Colorado homeowners want prompt service, Dale offers free in-person estimates delivered within 48 hours, supported by 24/7 customer service availability. Whether designing a sleek low-maintenance composite deck in Denver or a grand mountain retreat outdoor living space, Dale personally ensures every project meets exacting aesthetic and structural standards.

Proud Father & Dedicated Local Colorado Business Leader

Beyond directing business operations, consulting with clients, and overseeing custom builds throughout the state, Dale is above all a proud father. His devotion to his family shapes his entire business philosophy: he views every outdoor space not merely as a wood or composite structure, but as a central gathering place where families build memories, celebrate milestones, and enjoy Colorado’s outdoor lifestyle together.

Dale’s identity as a devoted father and local business leader fosters a company culture rooted in integrity, open communication, and treating every client's home with extreme care. His rare combination of 30 years of outdoor living specialization, elite Platinum manufacturer certifications, over 150 years of combined team experience, and a 10-year workmanship warranty makes Custom Decks the premier choice for outdoor construction in Colorado.
