Our Story

We Did Not Start a Business. We Built a Trade.

Undercover Systems of Colorado was not born in a boardroom. It started on a job site in Wheat Ridge over twenty years ago, when our founder saw an industry cutting corners with flimsy aluminum panels and one-size-fits-all designs. He knew Colorado homeowners deserved better. So he built something better.

Today, we are an employee-owned company. That means every single person who shows up to your project has a personal stake in the outcome. There are no subcontractors, no franchise playbooks, and no pressure sales. Just experienced Colorado craftsmen who designed their own proprietary galvanized steel panel system and have spent two decades perfecting the installation process in the most demanding climate in the country.

We stand behind our work with a lifetime warranty because we have never had a system fail. When you work with us, you are not hiring a company. You are partnering with a team of owners who care about your home as much as you do.

The Undercover Difference
Why Colorado homeowners choose
GALVANIZED STEEL

Most underdeck companies use aluminum panels because they are cheaper and easier to install. We chose galvanized steel over twenty years ago because we knew it would outlast every alternative on the market. Our proprietary panel design channels water efficiently, resists Colorado’s extreme temperature swings from summer heat to heavy mountain snow loads, and maintains its structural integrity for decades without warping, cracking, or fading.

As an employee-owned company, every team member has a personal stake in the quality of every installation. When we say lifetime warranty, we mean it because our reputation is our livelihood. We are Colorado craftsmen who designed, tested, and perfected our own system right here on the Front Range.

Galvanized Steel (Ours)

  • Handles heavy snow loads without warping
  • Resists hail, UV, and 60-degree temp swings
  • Zero rust or corrosion for decades
  • Maintains structural integrity permanently
  • Lifetime warranty, honored 22+ years

Aluminum (Competitors)

  • Dents under moderate hail and snow
  • Expands and contracts, loosening fasteners
  • Fades and chalks within 5-8 years
  • Panels shift and sag over time
  • Limited warranties, hard to enforce

What Homeowners Say
Real results from real
COLORADO FAMILIES
We interviewed several underdeck companies and Undercover Systems stood apart from day one. The attention to detail, the quality of their steel panels, and the fact that every person on the crew was an owner in the company gave us complete confidence. Two years later, our outdoor space still looks brand new through brutal Colorado winters. We use it every single day from April through October now.
Colorado HomeownerCastle Rock, CO
Our deck sits twelve feet off the ground and the space underneath was completely unusable. Undercover Systems turned it into a second living room. The drainage system works flawlessly through heavy rain and the ceiling panels look like they were always part of the house. Our neighbors have all asked who did the work, and we have already referred three families. The craftsmanship is that noticeable.

Common Questions
Everything you need to
KNOW
We have answered these questions hundreds of times over 22 years. If yours is not here, call us at (303) 481-1967 and we will answer it personally.
What exactly is an underdeck ceiling system?
An underdeck ceiling system is a custom-installed panel system that mounts beneath your upper-level deck. It creates a dry, finished ceiling for the space below, effectively giving you a weather-protected outdoor room. Our galvanized steel panels integrate a drainage channel system that captures rainwater and routes it silently away from your living area, so you can enjoy the space beneath your deck rain or shine, spring through fall.
Why galvanized steel instead of aluminum?
Galvanized steel is significantly stronger and more durable than aluminum, especially in Colorado’s extreme climate. Steel handles heavy snow loads without warping, resists hail damage that would dent aluminum panels, and maintains its structural integrity through our intense UV exposure and 60-degree temperature swings between day and night. Aluminum panels tend to dent, fade, and loosen over time. Our steel systems are backed by a lifetime warranty because we know they will last.
How long does installation take?
Most residential underdeck installations are completed in two to four days depending on the size and complexity of the project. Pergolas and combination systems may take an additional day. We handle all design, fabrication, and installation in-house, which means fewer delays and more consistent quality. We will give you a precise timeline during your free design consultation so you can plan accordingly.
What does the lifetime warranty cover?
Our lifetime warranty covers the structural integrity of the entire panel system, including the galvanized steel panels, drainage channels, mounting hardware, and trim components. If any component fails under normal use due to material or workmanship defects, we replace it at no cost to you. We have been honoring this warranty for over two decades because our systems simply do not fail. Call (303) 481-1967 for full warranty details.
Do you work with builders and contractors?
Absolutely. We have established contractor partnership programs for builders who want to offer premium underdeck systems as part of new construction or renovation projects. We provide design support during the planning phase, competitive contractor pricing, and reliable scheduling that integrates seamlessly with your build timeline. Many of Colorado’s top custom home builders specify our systems by name.
What maintenance is required?
Our galvanized steel systems require very little maintenance. We recommend an annual cleaning to remove leaves and debris from the drainage channels, which you can do yourself or schedule through our professional cleaning and maintenance service. Unlike aluminum or vinyl systems that require frequent re-securing and patching, our steel panels stay locked in place season after season without any homeowner intervention.
How much does an underdeck system cost?
Every project is custom, so pricing depends on your deck’s size, height, complexity, and the specific design you choose. We provide free on-site consultations with transparent, no-surprise quotes. What we can tell you is that our galvanized steel systems typically cost more upfront than aluminum alternatives, but they last decades longer and never need replacement. Most homeowners find the lifetime value far exceeds the initial investment.
Can you install on any type of deck?
We have installed systems on virtually every deck configuration in Colorado, from standard second-story decks to complex multi-level structures, walkout basements, and elevated decks on steep mountain lots. During your free consultation, we assess your specific deck structure and let you know exactly what is possible. In 22 years, we have never encountered a deck we could not work with.
