You Love Your Outdoor Space — But You Wish You Could Use It Even More.

Your deck or paver patio is beautiful, but when the weather’s too hot or rainy, it often sits empty.
You’re missing out on valuable outdoor living time — and the potential to increase your home’s value.

At DeckTec, we believe you deserve an outside living environment that’s comfortable, elegant, and functional year-round.

Deck Building Is More Than Just Boards and Railings — It’s About a Complete Outdoor Living Experience.

Adding a sunroom or a protective roof cover to your deck plan makes your outdoor space more livable, valuable, and enjoyable. We specialize in expanding your home’s living space which transforms how you relax, entertain, and connect with nature — without sacrificing style.

Here are 6 Ways a Sunroom or Roof Cover Enhances Your Deck or Paver Patio:

1. Elegance That Elevates Your Home

A well-designed roof cover or sunroom instantly adds sophistication to your deck or paver patio.
Whether you want to seamlessly match your home’s exterior or create a stunning free-standing gazebo-style feature, DeckTec’s expert team will help you design an outdoor living upgrade that boosts your home’s beauty and resale value.

2. Comfort in Every Season

Shield your outdoor space from the harsh summer sun and stay up to 20 degrees cooler under a custom roof cover. Add an overhead fan to keep fresh air circulating and create a breezy, comfortable environment perfect for outdoor dining, barbecues, or simply relaxing.

3. Entertainment for the Whole Family

Create a true outdoor living room by adding a TV, gaming console, or built-in speakers to your deck or patio. With a covered area, kids and grandkids can camp out, play games, or watch movies — turning your outdoor space into a hub of family fun, rain or shine.

4. Real Value for Your Property

A custom roof cover or sunroom not only enhances your lifestyle — it can significantly increase your home’s value. Potential buyers love homes with thoughtful outdoor upgrades, especially families looking for safe, usable outdoor spaces. Your new addition could add serious resale appeal.

5. Expanded Living Space

Adding a protective roof instantly expands your usable square footage. Want even more flexibility? Upgrade to a fully enclosed sunroom to create a year-round space for dining, working from home, hosting parties, or simply unwinding.

6. A Closer Connection to Nature

Your deck or patio should be a bridge between indoor comfort and the beauty of the outdoors.
With a roof cover or sunroom, you can enjoy shaded afternoons, peaceful evenings, and the calming presence of nature — all from the comfort of your home.

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.

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.
