A Cliffside Dream Deck: How DeckTec Transformed This Golden, CO Home
Perched high above Golden, CO, this home boasts some of the most stunning views in the area. But while the scenery was extraordinary, the outdoor space was anything but. With no functional or modern deck, this couple had smaller tiered outdoor spaces but nowhere to easily enjoy their panoramic mountain vistas or entertain guests in style. They dreamed of a deck design that matched their spectacular location—a safe, inviting, and elegant outdoor living space that would take their home to new heights. That’s where DeckTec came in. The Problem: A Home with a View but No Place to Enjoy It Despite living at one of Golden’s highest elevations, this couple’s home lacked a practical way to enjoy the outdoors. Their steep, cliffside property posed major challenges, and their existing space felt closed off and outdated. Hosting family or friends outdoors was nearly impossible, leaving them stuck indoors despite their incredible surroundings. They needed more than a simple deck—they needed a carefully engineered deck plan that could safely and beautifully transform a challenging cliffside into a welcoming[...]
Preparing Your Deck for Winter
Protect Your Investment, Preserve Its Beauty, and Stay Safe All Season Long As the seasons change and winter approaches, many homeowners begin to shift focus indoors. But before the snow flies, there’s one crucial outdoor task that should not be overlooked—preparing your deck for winter. At DeckTec, we believe that your outdoor living space is an extension of your home, and with over 35 years of expertise in design, restoration, and maintenance, we know just how important proactive care is for long-term enjoyment and performance. Here’s why winterizing your deck is one of the smartest things you can do this season: 1. Prevent Costly Water Damage Winter’s freeze-thaw cycles are one of the biggest threats to your deck’s structure. Warping and cracking: Moisture finds its way into surface cracks and gaps, then freezes and expands—damaging the wood from the inside out. Mold and mildew: Persistent moisture invites harmful growth that can compromise both structure and health. Rot and structural weakness: Over time, water damage leads to decay that could require expensive repairs—or even full replacement. Prevention[...]
