Here is the second in our series covering other ways a roof addition can enhance your outdoor living experience.

  1. Privacy Matters – Some backyards make you feel like you’re in a fishbowl, with neighbors on all sides and even above you. By adding some drop down blinds from the beams on the front or side, a roof addition can provide your needed privacy for your outdoor living enjoyment. Have privacy when you want it.
  2. Save Energy – A roof cover will reduce energy costs by providing shade in the summer. Instead of closing the windows and drapes against the summer sun, you can open them to fresh air and cooling breezes, reduce air conditioning needs and enjoy the view. A new roof can even provide the right exposure for solar panels so you can go “green” and add space at the same time.
  3. A Larger Home – By bringing the outdoors in with a roof addition, you effectively create the illusion of a larger home to live in and entertain with. This expansive feeling will truly make your home your castle, as you open drapes and see more of your yard through your covered outdoor living area. Create that seamless transition between indoors and out.
  4. Get Away to Your Own Backyard – A covered outdoor living area creates the perfect “staycation” where you can relax, entertain, sit by an outdoor fire or listen to a tranquil bubbling water feature without the hassle of packing or the expense of travel.
  5. Lifetime of Value – If you decide to sell, appraisers add value and realtors feature covered outdoor areas in the prospectus on your property. Just think, a roof that has added so much pleasure can pay for itself.

DeckTec Flexible Financing Offers

60-Second Loan Application

Simple, fast, honest, accurate, and completely confidential: that’s the type of service we provide clients seeking home improvement loans.

Get Started Today!

If the market value of your home is important to you – as it is for many – adding a custom deck can increase your house value.

If you’re considering adding a custom deck to your home, reach out to HFS Financial for all of your home improvement financing needs. HFS makes it easy to fund your project with minimal documentation requirements, no equity or appraisal needed, and direct-to-consumer funding.

Adding or improving an existing deck can add a number of beneficial features to your home. Not only can a new deck improve the value of your property, but it can also make your home more enjoyable for you and your family.

HFS Financial also offers 120% financing, allowing you some financial wiggle room for those unexpected hiccups that you may find along the way of your deck-building journey. All funds are paid directly to you, the consumer, so there’s no need to coordinate contractor work with payout schedules. Handle your project your way.

Once we’ve received your information through our 60-Second Loan Application, you will be notified of possible loan options quickly to discuss and review your loan terms and the home improvement project you have in mind.

My husband Matt and I [...] have moved away from the home where we had the beautiful deck and outdoor living space you created.  We will forever remember fondly that beautiful deck, and the hard work you did during a very bad economic time to fix problems around the foundation of our home.  Steve, Keith, and all of your workers were fabulous and we sent several of our friends your way with referrals.  We are sure that your deck helped us get a wonderful offer on our home.

Nancy & Matt, Lakewood

We just wanted to tell you how much we enjoy the decks DeckTec constructed at our home. Their use is a constant joy. We continually receive compliments on the design and quality of your work. We look forward to many years of use.

Eric & Gloria, Arvada

DeckTec are absolute pros. They just finished a big deck and roof cover project at my house. The total experience from working with Steve in Design and Sales, Keith in Project Management, and Charlie, Josh, and Hank in Construction was nothing but 6 star service. 100% on time and on budget with craftsmanship and quality. Skip the “Hammer and Nails” contractors and go with DeckTec if you want an “Outdoor Living Space”. Call these people – you will not be disappointed.

Dave & Sheila, Centennial

I just wanted to let you know how pleased I am with the work Decktec completed refinishing my deck. It hasn’t looked this good since it was new sixteen years ago. Decktec was very professional, polite and willing to work with me to get the exact color of stain I wanted. I would recommend Decktec to anyone who wants a complete job from the great construction work starting the job, to its thorough cleanup. I’m happy my neighbor referred me to Decktec. You are the fourth company I’ve had refinish my deck and will now be the only company I use going forward.
