Materials & Finishes
The materials we specify and self-perform across Denver projects.
Materials
Traditional beadboard detailing for porch ceilings, soffits, and cabinetry — a warm, textured finish that reads craftsman.
Classic clay brick in traditional and modular sizes — laid for walkways, patios, walls, and veneer.
Natural stone cobbles for old-world walkways, driveways, and patio banding.
Traditional dry-laid stonework — walls and features built without mortar, for a naturalistic result.
Multi-tone natural slate in flagstone and tile — textural surfaces for patios and entries.
Dense, low-porosity soapstone for counters, tops, and specialty applications.
Full-thickness and thin stone veneer applied to walls, columns, and exterior facades.
Concrete Finishes
Poured concrete with hand-set cobble inlays — the classic Design Exteriors driveway and walkway finish.
A soft, sanded surface texture that reads modern and holds up to Colorado winters.
A subtle waved trowel finish for movement across large concrete surfaces.
