When it comes to creating beautiful outdoor living spaces in Utah, Ogden Decks is in a league of its own. Founded in 2015 by Jason and AJ, this Deckorators Elite Certified Pro has built its reputation on passion, precision, and a commitment to redefining what’s possible in outdoor spaces.
From Passion to Profession
For Jason, building is in his blood. Growing up, he spent summers working alongside his father, who specialized in cabinetry, countertops, and finish work. That early experience instilled in him a love for working with tools and creating with his hands. Deck building became the perfect blend of framing and finish work — combining structure with fine craftsmanship.
AJ’s journey began when Jason was building a deck on his home. He quickly saw not only the quality of Jason’s work, but also the potential for building a business. With AJ managing estimates, bookkeeping, and operations, and Jason focusing on craftsmanship, the duo created a strong foundation for what would become Ogden Decks.
Building in Utah’s Extreme Climate
Utah is known for its breathtaking mountains and rapidly changing weather — from 90° summers to winters with up to 15 feet of snow. This environment demands materials that can perform in every condition. That’s why Ogden Decks turned to Deckorators Voyage decking, pairing Kaya with Dark Slate for a timeless look.
“The waterproofing and 50-year warranty made it a no-brainer,” says AJ. “We can confidently tell homeowners their deck will not only look beautiful but stand up to decades of weather.”
Why Deckorators?
When Ogden Decks was evaluating materials, Deckorators stood out immediately. Beyond innovative Surestone technology and long-term durability, it was the warranty that made the difference.
“Being able to tell a homeowner that both materials and labor are backed is huge,” AJ explains. “It sets Deckorators apart in a way most people don’t even realize.”
Jason adds that consistency is another advantage: “We’ve never had a callback due to expansion or contraction with Deckorators. That peace of mind matters.”
Ogden Decks also values the personal connection. “Deckorators doesn’t just sell product. They show up to job sites, talk to our crews, and genuinely care. That’s not something you get from every brand.”
The Future of Outdoor Living
Ogden Decks isn’t content with simply building decks. The company is focused on creating entire outdoor living experiences — spaces that combine creativity, function, and beauty.
“We’re thinking beyond the deck,” says AJ. “It’s about the ambiance, the lifestyle, the memories that will be made in that space.”
