It’s hard to imagine that the wonderful summer weather we’ve been experiencing will soon come to an end. This year, particularly, homeowners have been grateful for drought relief with plenty of rain and cooler temperatures than the last few summers have shown.

So, as surely as the seasons change in Colorado, it’s time to enjoy that one last fling of Labor day, then return kids to school and make summer vacations a fond memory away. With this in mind, it may be tempting to think that all the outdoor fun is over.

But at DeckTec, we celebrate this time of year, because it marks the beginning of our “second season”—a deck building and maintenance time that runs from September through the end of the year. We’re committed to being a part of your community all year round, and have the construction and maintenance teams ready for your new dreams and visions of the great outdoors in your back yard. Our second season is here to help with that vision.

Now is an exciting time to be thinking of expanding, replacing, or maintaining your deck. Here’s why:

The Autumn Brings Great Consistency in Weather

Yes, the days may be cooler in general, but temperatures in Colorado remain reasonably warm for working outside right through December. Our crews are ready to take on tasks large or small, and enjoy the cooler weather to work in.

Not only that, but in the fall, we have more predictable weather regarding rain, and can plan schedules with your needs in mind. Now is the time you’re least likely to experience rain delays in your project. It is also a super time to think about refinishing a deck that may have become a bit worn with all the family’s play and fun over the summer.

The Second Season is a Well-Kept Secret

For some reason, many homeowners tend to forget the deck when the first leaves start to fall. Yet there is outdoor living to be had year round in Denver. Our relatively mild winters ensure that you can be firing up the grill at any time of the year. Wouldn’t it be nice to do so under the cover of a roof addition?

Savvy homeowners take advantage of the second season in deck construction by getting their building projects into the schedule at times most convenient to them. Are you that homeowner? This is a great time to add the front welcoming deck you’ve been thinking about, or expanding the back deck for the larger parties you want next summer.

Life on Deck Happens Year Round Too

In the weeks and months ahead, this blog will be posting articles on how you can enjoy your yard and deck even with a chill in the air. We hope you’ll continue to visit us here, but just as we have ideas, you may be planning events that take advantage of your deck in colder weather.

Perhaps you’ve put away the lawn chairs for the winter, but a built-in bench can still provide a cozy place for you to read a few pages of that favorite novel, or knit a few rows on that sweater project.

And what could be more beautiful than an autumn wedding out on your deck? Our crews can help power-wash, touch-up paint, and generally spruce up your outdoor living room to impress and embrace all of your relatives, Colorado style.

And There’s Always the Savings

Okay. You caught us. We love being busy and want to keep going all year round on building and maintaining your deck and outdoor living needs. That desire to keep full-time staff on a year-round basis helps give incentive to the idea of giving loyal customers a chance to purchase products and services at a discounted rate. Just contact your DeckTec representative at 303.277.1550 and say, “let’s make a deal.” We’re here to listen and work with you.

Yes, summer may be drawing to a close, but life in the great outdoors of your backyard needn’t shut down. Cover your deck for a barbeque on even snowy days, add a new front porch to dazzle your trick-or-treaters, or simply spruce up your property to entertain your après skiers. DeckTec is here to help you make your outdoors more than a deck—we’ll make it an experience.
