Hot Gift Trends 2024

It all began when I was sixteen years old and my parents told me that I “had the unique ability to choose the perfect gifts” at Christmas. I’ve always loved outdoor living, and prefer it to the indoors to tell you the truth. Luxury additions and upgrades are on the rise, and designers and homeowners are approaching outdoor spaces with the same care as interior design. “I am seeing a big movement towards truly putting as much care and effort into the design of outdoor living spaces as indoor ones,” says Kathy Kuo of Kathy Kuo Home. “Creating an outdoor space that feels cohesive, beautiful, and comfortable is about so much more than setting some nice chairs out on your deck.”  These are some gift ideas to surprise and delight your loved ones (and to enjoy with them) for years to come: Fire Pits OK, this may seem a little played out at first. However, there have been huge advancements in terms of design, efficiency and safety since the round lava stone models hit the market[...]

Our Little Secret: Interior Painting

Did you know that our DeckTec Deck Service teams didn’t start their careers restoring and refinishing exterior decks? In fact, when recruiting talent, we look for painters. More specifically, we look for ‘interior painters.’ Why interior painters? They are known for their meticulous attention to detail with an eye for even the smallest imperfections. Every stroke and finish inside a home must be flawless. We’ve found that this precision makes them ideal candidates for our team, so this is exactly what we look for when training them in our advanced exterior refinishing and staining techniques. In addition to finishing and refinishing decks, our finish specialists paint and finish roof additions and sunrooms. They also paint home exteriors. Back in the early years, before we had the volume of jobs we currently have, our finishers would paint in the cooler months so they are experienced and backed by the DeckTec satisfaction guarantee. We have learned that many of our clients are interested in having a room or two freshened up before the Holidays, and DeckTec is more[...]
