About us
Design Exteriors specializes in large-scale Design and Build projects. Want your backyard to be the envy of the cul-de-sac when you host that Broncos party? Let us "trick" it out with a completely customized pergola, fire pit, water feature, privacy screening & specialty patios to set it all on. Want your home to be the loveliest on the lane? Let us design and install a gorgeous curb appeal revision for you. When you're ready to totally revamp your outdoor space and bring in the experts, we're the ones that you will love working with!
We partner with homeowners to help them conceptualize what they want and/or need from their exterior home spaces and then we bring in our expert artisan crews to make that vision a reality. Our designs are characterized by elegant curves and sophisticated arcs we affectionately refer to as "Shoebridge Circles" after the lead designer (and owner of our firm) Cedric Shoebridge. Bricks, stone, and pavers have to be custom-cut to fit into these curves, but we know they're worth it because as we like to joke around the office, you never hear a grandma yell to the grandkids to "Gather Square!" We say, "Gather around," because it's circles that bring families together.
We are proud to have an A+ rating with the BBB and have been a multiple Award Winner with Angie's List and Home Advisor.

Fantastic partner for a complete redesign of my front and back yard. Provided detailed blueprints and they welcomed my participation throughout all phases. Took my feedback, incorporated into the design. When materials were delivered and found to be substandard, they took care of it (even though not their issue). Loved the design process, and LOVE the finished product. High quality, attention to details. Would definitely use them again.
Description of Work: Contracted Design Exteriors for design and build out of front and back yard. Included concrete, stone, firepit, gas, trees, shrubs, sprinkler work / replumbing, blueprint / HOA schematics, materials selection and sourcing.

Cedric and his team provide a thorough examination of your project and work with you to make it “right” for you and your family. He worked with us on every aspect of the job and provided alternatives to our ideas when needed. It’s been a few years since we conducted our project, and we still often comment on how happy we are with our backyard. It’s a process and every project is complicated.. Cedric and his team spent the time to make sure our project was completed correctly. Most importantly, if/when anything wasn’t fully to our standards, Cedric made sure to correct the situation and made sure we were happy with the result.

In 2012 my family moved into a tri-level home built in 1960 in Littleton. After staring at it for nine years, we realized not only was this a job too big for us to do ourselves but also we had NO ideas on how to improve the home’s appearance. Tri-level homes are bland and everything is on a slope. I did not go into this project with very high hopes. Cedric really listened to what was important to us and presented us with truly amazing designs. Then we watched as he masterfully executed the designs in two phases. Cedric’s expertise in planning, building code, material quality, landscape design and project management blew us away. His artistic creativity, craftsmanship, and attention to detail is unmatched. He took our house, which was one of the ugliest on the block, and turned it into a house that STILL gets compliments from neighbors, friends, family, and random visitors. We spent a lot of time and money on this project, so when I say it was worth every second and every penny I hope it carries the intended weight. I cannot recommend Cedric strongly enough, I wish so badly he did INTERIORS as well.
Description of Work: Landscaping, portico, patio, patio covers, stucco, paint, walkways, and of course the designs. Pretty much everything having to do with the curb appeal of a home.

Cedric and his team at Design Exteriors were responsive, professional, and efficient with their work. They answered all of my questions and always left me knowing exactly what the plan was at each phase of the project. Cedric took the time to really understand what my wife and I were looking for, and always followed up when necessary. They didn't cut corners which gave me peace of mind knowing our backyard was in good hands and will last for many years to come. I'm so pleased with the finished product and would highly recommend their services.
Description of Work: We had significant drainage issues in our backyard that would eventually lead to house and garage foundational issues. Design Exteriors specializes in this sort of thing, in addition to having exceptional taste in aesthetics made selecting them an easy choice to redo our entire backyard.

I needed to replace a border to my vegetable garden that had probably been in place for 20 years. The border was made of redwood planks and hollow in the inside. The in-ground portion was rotting and, on occasion, provided a home for rodents. After searching for contractors on the web and getting a couple of estimates, I settled on Design Exteriors of Denver, which had consistently excellent reviews. Cedric (Sonny) Shoebridge, owner and lead designer of the firm, visited, made careful measurements, and provided a detailed proposal for a new border consisting of 4”x6”x8’ rough cedar planks, capped by wider 2”x8”x8’ redwood boards for seating. The proposal was clear about possible variations in cost. The wood was to be coated with a top-of-the-line oil-based stain. Cedric suggested that I buy a plank and partially stain it with the color of my choice, just to make sure I liked it. Later, when he and his foreman were purchasing the rest of the planks, he asked for photos of my plank so that he could match the wood color as closely as possible. Enrique, the foreman, and his brother Jose did most of the work. They removed the old redwood border, including several concrete footings, laser-levelled the trench, then poured 3” of gravel footing into the trench, installed four courses of cedar planks in an overlapping pattern, locking them together with rebar and capping them with the redwood boards. The result is a very sturdy and handsome border with an amber stain that will probably outlast me. Enrique and Jose did a final pass through the garden, and removed wood and concrete debris. Construction had occurred in soil wet from melting snow, and our sidewalks and driveway were covered with muddy footprints. Enrique power-washed the concrete before departing. Kristi Tyler, Client Services Manager, was very pleasant and helpful from start to finish. The final bill was less than the original estimate, and I received a generous credit for the plank I had bought. I was extremely pleased with all my interactions with Design Exterior employees and more than satisfied with the result. It was money very well spent. I highly recommend Design Exteriors for outdoor landscaping and architectural renovations.

From the moment we sat down with him, Cedric (the owner) we knew that he was the right person for the job. He carefully interviewed us, found out how we would be using the space and took the time to get to know us. He created a design with several a la carte options to make sure we met our budget. Though covid hit right in the middle of our hardscape construction, he and his team got right back on the job when the city allowed. Bottom line: He and his team turned an eyesore of a backyard into a comfortable, relaxing space that reflects us.
Description of Work: A complete makeover of my backyard.
The design was just what we were looking for - had zero changes, as Cedric got everything right. The finished product was incredible and we have thoroughly been able to enjoy the backyard as a result. Throughout the process, Cedric and the team were very helpful in explaining the overall process and contacting the various teams we needed (fencing, tree removal, etc.) to get our backyard in the shape we wanted - we're thankful we went through their team, as it made it certainly easier. Cedric and his team are very detail oriented, and take pride in all of the work they did (e.g. cement pour, grading, planting, construction, etc.) and it definitely shows through in the final product. We are very satisfied customers and hope other people are able to use them to make their dream backyards as well.

Cedric and the team did a great job, from the initial design of our patio through completion. Despite some challenging circumstances (winter weather, COVID lockdown, etc) the company did a great job of being transparent about timing and did their best to finish the job to meet our expectations. We are thrilled with our new outdoor living space, which now includes a pergola for shade and gas fire pit. We definitely plan to hire Design Exteriors again for future additions, and we highly recommend the team.

Sonny is a true artist! From the first visit talking about our vision of what we wanted the yard to look at, to his hand drawn yard plan to the choosing of plants and finally the installation of them as well as a gorgeous circular patio with retaining and seating wall, we couldn't be happier. Sonny's crew was fantastic, very experienced and knowledgeable and did beautiful work. I never would have envisioned what he came up with or thought it would be as beautiful as it is! We loved working with Sonny and his crew and absolutely recommend Design Exteriors - it was worth every penny!
Description of Work: Designed large backyard landscaping and brick paver circular patio, updated lawn sprinkler system, added drip system, installed 80 new plants, bushes, grasses. Lighting done on the patio. House downspout revision. Concrete mow cub around the yard and deck.
This turned out to be a 3 month project, a bit longer than planned. The delays in the schedule were frustrating but the end result was well worth the wait. The quality of the work was SUPERB. Cedric was excellent to work with. He was always responsive to my emails, calls and text messages. I give him especially high marks for his vision, creativity, and attention to detail. Cedric shows a passion for perfection. I will definitely be calling him for my next project.
Description of Work: Remodel of back porch which included the design, the rewiring of electrical, the installation of a bead board ceiling, ceiling fans, infrared heaters, gutters, windows, slate flooring and a rock border.
Cedric and his team at Design Exteriors were great. Unlike some of their competitors, he really put some thought behind the design of our space and helped us achieve the desired outcome we wanted with the limited budget we had. We will definitely be using Design Exteriors to finish the second phase of our project and for other ideas we have in the future.

Our family entertains a lot and needless to say the garden/patio is an important part of our house. When construction tore our yard apart we called in Design Exteriors to help. Sonny’s team is knowledgeable, respectful and extremely hard working. Initially we met with Sonny, the owner and went thru several design iterations - he has a great eye for details. He shared his extensive plant knowledge with us and various patio options. We appreciated that he was sensitive to pricing and budget. Mark was our Project manager - He was on top of whatever new projects we threw his way, and he worked endlessly. We had some challenging drainage issues - but they worked thru them perfectly. The lead foremen were Eduardo and Enrique. Their broad knowledge ranged from irrigation, fountain building and plant compatibility. This team was amazing; they patiently listened to our ideas and respectively shared their valuable insights. Design Exteriors was a wonderful group to work with. Our yard is more beautiful than ever before!

This was about a 5 month process from the start of the design to completion just before the first snow. Cedric was terrific to work with. He has so many design ideas, but is quick to listen and adapt. The Design Exteriors crews did a terrific and meticulous job. The subcontractors Design Exteriors uses are well-vetted and have been working with Cedric for a long time. We did have a bit of an issue when the regular concrete subcontractor had to sub out the job to someone else. It turned out fine in the end but there were a few rough spots from our perspective dealing with that subcontractor. Cedric was always committed to having the job done right and that we were satisfied, to the point of having a subcontractor come back, to tear out and replace all its work. The price was not a bargin, but the service and results were well worth it.

Cedric and his team did an outstanding job! They took a badly neglected backyard and changed it into something both serviceable and beautiful. There was no one on this team who didn't know what they were doing and it shows in the end result. From creating a beautiful entertainment area to installing irrigation, this team was great!

Two years ago I had my chimney repaired perfectly by this company. I recently had my roof replaced and water leaked through four of my walls. I thought perhaps it was another issue with the chimney or it was an issue with my recent roofing project. I called both companies out to take a look. It turned out that the roofing company was at fault and NOT Design Exteriors chimney work. The customer service I received from Design Exteriors despite it not being their issue at all, was outstanding. They took the time to explain to me the real issue and help me understand how to communicate to the roofers what needed to be done. It took my roofing company three visits before they finally admitted fault. All the while Design Exteriors stood behind their work and was willing to do whatever necessary had the issue had anything to do with their work on my chimney. They were consummate professionals, even going so far as to bring in second and third opinions. Meanwhile, my roofing company- the true "at fault" party, attempted to deny that my leak was a result of their work. Design Exteriors even went so far as to continue following up on the progress of the issue despite it not being their issue at all. I cannot say enough good things about them. I will use this company again and again!
