ENGINEER-owned & operated
Meet Your Backyard Builder, Eric Van Dixhorn

I'm Eric Van Dixhorn and my wife, Ashley, and I are the proud owners of Archadeck of Northern Colorado! With a background in structural engineering, I’ve spent much of my career building bridges and managing large infrastructure projects for a heavy-highway general contractor.
Here at Archadeck, I’m thrilled to bring my love for construction, project management, and design to your backyard. Helping homeowners create their perfect outdoor oasis is truly rewarding. I’m committed to guiding my clients through the delicate balance between functionality, their wish list, and budget, ensuring a satisfying and successful project.
When I’m not working, you can usually find me enjoying the great outdoors—whether it's mountain biking at Horsetooth Mountain Open Space, coaching my son’s soccer team, or camping with our three kids and dog in the beautiful landscapes of Colorado.
I can't wait to bring your backyard dreams to life.

Eric was great to work with and we could not be happier with our new covered deck and pergola. Eric was responsive, flexible with our last minute design changes, and we appreciated his near weekly progress updates. He took care of every last detail and the end product is top quality. We would highly recommend him.

Very happy with our new deck from Archadeck of Northern Colorado. Eric was awesome to work with. He got to know us, listened to our goals, built and adjusted the design until we were 100% aligned.
He spent time finding the right materials, bringing us colors and quality that matched our home, and was impeccable in his communication at every step of the project. His construction crew delivered a great product, and showed care for our home.
In the end, we have a solid, finished product, and an outdoor space we love.

Eric has been incredible from start to finish on our deck project! From the very first meeting we were so impressed with him already having ideas for our deck and coming prepared with our budget in mind. He worked closely with us to make sure we got the deck of our dreams and didn’t miss a single detail. He was very organized and handled everything from permits, concrete crew and framing crew. All of the crews were very respectable and kind.
