After Dark: Deck Lighting to Maximize the Deck Season

As soon as the sun sets behind the Rockies, your deck transforms. Sunlight recedes, shadows stretch across the area: where once your view was broad, space seems confined, yet intimate. There is nothing like a little sunshine on your DeckTec custom wood deck, but at some point – perhaps soon – the Colorado heat will attempt to chase you from your outdoor space.

For over 30 years, DeckTec has been mastering the art of shade creation for our clients, but come July, your best bet may be to wait until the sun calls it a day. In fact, with the right deck lighting, night time may just be your preferred deck experience. Take a look at what thoughtful deck lighting can add to your deck life after dark.

Transformational

Your deck is a sight to see in the light, there is no reason it can’t be just as striking in the dark.

Task and Area Lighting

You don’t stop doing things just because the sun went down.

Safe Passage

Add a sense of security with in-deck step lights or light the walkways surrounding it.

Decorative

Your deck is unique to you. You can personalize it with decorative string lights or a whimsical lantern you can gather around with those who mean the most to you.

Au Naturel

Why mess with nature. Sometimes the most luxurious illumination can be attributed to a warm fire’s glow or gentle moonlight.

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.
