Integrating a hot tup or spa into your landscape creates a spa environment, multiplying the time in and around the spa. You relax and feel more secure with more privacy without sacrificing – or perhaps even improving – the view from the tub. And entertaining no longer requires shivering in the wind. Your guests can enjoy themselves with or without hopping in.

No matter what you use your spa for, you owe it to yourself to create an environment that takes advantage of all its benefits. So the next time you’re soaking up your spa life (Or thinking about adding a spa to you outdoor living), consider these elements to enhance your lifestyle and spa enjoyment.

1. Privacy

You got the spa to relax, not entertain your neighbors.

Positioning the spa in the optimum location and adding custom, semi-solid privacy screens can eliminate prying eyes.

2. Safety

Increase ease of access to your tub.

You don’t want to feel like you’re climbing onto a horse when you’re getting in and out of the hot tub, especially when you’re using it with other people. Providing more than one point of access makes it easier for you and others to get in and out of the tub without disturbing or climbing over each other.
Men, women, and children all heat up and cool down at different rates. It’s nice to be able to sit on the edge of the tub to cool off a little without fear of falling. Surrounding your spa with different levels diminishes this concern.

3. Provide protection from wind & weather

It can be exciting to sit in the tub and watch the snow fall and melt on your nose, but even the smallest amount of wind throughout the year can really bite and diminish the comfort & enjoyment of your spa experience. Providing glass or semi-solid rails or walls will minimize discomfort.

4. Create an environment around your tub

Ultimately, you’re going to spend much more time looking at your spa than you will be in it. For many, relaxing around the tub with the cover up and the colorful lights & gurgling water, increases your time and enjoyment around your spa. The experience gives you the same relaxing sensation as a beautiful aquarium.

5. Integrate with other outdoor living spaces

Like any other room, the more appealing it is, the more time you’ll want to spend in it as well as share it with others. This is true for your entire outdoor living area, but your spa in particular. Artistically integrating your spa with your other outdoor living spaces, furnishings, and amenities creates the place that you’ll love to use and share with others.

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.

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.

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.
