The Problem:

Over time, exposure to the elements can wear down your deck’s finish, leading to fading, weathering, and potential damage. Without proper maintenance, even the best stain won’t last as long as it should.

DeckTec Protects Your Investment

At Deck Tec, we understand how important it is to protect your investment. That’s why we’ve designed a routine maintenance plan to keep your deck looking its best for years to come.

The Plan:

  1. First-Year Protection
    • 8-12 Months After Initial Finish: We recommend a Maintenance Clean (MC)—a simple clean and stain of your deck’s floors, step treads, top caps, and horizontal surfaces of built-in benches or drink bars.
    • For Decks with Intense Sun Exposure: If your deck faces south, west, or southwest, we recommend a Maintenance Clean Upgrade (MCU), which includes cleaning and staining of vertical rail surfaces that receive direct sunlight. This upgrade can be done at the same time as a recommended second coat or at the 8-12 month service.
  2. Long-Term Protection
    • Years 3-5: We recommend an annual Maintenance Clean to refresh your deck’s stain and keep it protected from sun and snow. This ensures your deck remains strong, beautiful, and well-protected—at the lowest possible cost.

Stay Ahead of the Curve

Don’t wait until your deck shows signs of wear. Schedule your first Maintenance Clean today and keep your deck in top condition for years to come!

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.

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.
