The Problem: An Underutilized Outdoor Space
An empty-nester couple in Parker, CO, loved spending time on their wood deck but faced a major challenge: their west-facing deck had no roof cover, making it uncomfortable in harsh sun, rain, or snow. They envisioned an inviting, functional outdoor space they could enjoy in all kinds of weather but struggled to find a deck building company that could engineer the right solution.
DeckTec’s Expertise in Deck Design & Engineering
After reaching out to multiple companies, only DeckTec had the expertise to design and execute their vision. Our team specializes in custom deck plans and outdoor living solutions that go beyond conventional builds. We source our materials from specialty suppliers, ensuring durability and aesthetic appeal. In this project, we fabricated a custom 21-foot post—custom fabricated elements set us apart in the outdoor living market.
The Plan: A Custom Semi-Attached Roof to Enhance Comfort
To transform their wood deck into a year-round retreat, we designed a semi-attached roof using premium materials:
- Cedar posts, headers, hips, ridge, and rafters for natural beauty and strength.
- Douglas-Fir tongue & groove roof decking for a warm, cohesive finish.
- Built-in deck lighting, heaters, and a fan to ensure comfort in any season.
A Year-Round Outdoor Sanctuary
With their new deck design in place, this couple now enjoys a beautiful, functional outdoor space regardless of the weather. Whether sipping coffee on a crisp autumn morning, lounging with a book on a breezy spring afternoon, or hosting a lively gathering with friends on a warm summer evening, their deck has become a true extension of their home. The addition of built-in deck lighting creates a cozy ambiance after sunset, while the heaters ensure warmth on cooler nights, making their deck a favorite retreat any time of year.

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.
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.
