In August, right here in Colorado, four people were sent to the hospital from injuries caused by a collapsing outdoor deck.  Any deck 15 years or older is subject to aging problems with some not showing obvious signs of decay until an accident happens. Don’t become a victim of this notoriously unseen problem.

Warning signs

As Denver’s recognized deck specialist since 1990, we ask you to look for these items:

  • Are joists, beams, or other structural pieces rotted or split?
  • Do your stairs shake when you use them?
  • Are rails poorly connected or not to code?
  • Does your deck have loose, warped or broken boards?
  • Is the overall condition of your deck affecting its usefulness or marketability in any way?

If you have these or any other concerns, have your deck inspected by a professional deck specialist. Our recommendations on the appropriate maintenance plan will keep your deck not only looking great, but safe all year.

Don’t do it yourself

While many people think of a deck as the ideal do-it-yourself project, maintaining your deck for safety and beauty is especially important today as outdoor living has become an increasingly important part of leisure and family activities. A professional inspection can save you hours of money and maintenance work while ensuring the safe keeping of your family and friends.

Winterize your deck

Right now is also a great time to check your deck before the harsh winter weather can do more damage. Water gets into cracks, freezes, then expands, doing irreversible damage to the materials and eroding the investment in your outdoor living structure.

Your safety is so important to your team at DeckTec, we are offering a 15% discount on our maintenance service. This offer is good for a limited time only, so don’t wait.  Your family’s safety is worth the call: 303-277-1550.
