You look out over your deck every day from your family room and kitchen. What are you seeing through those back windows and doors? Is your deck neglected, or the outdoor oasis that you originally intended? I certainly hope it’s an oasis. For some folks, decorating and designing seems to come so naturally. I’m awed by the time and care that our clients invest in making their decks truly their own. I love to see the furniture, art pieces, flowers and other greenery that people have so thoughtfully arranged. It’s always an experience for me because each one is so individual, reflecting the homeowners’ personal tastes. There’s nothing that brings me more joy than seeing our carefully-crafted decks enhancing your backyard environment.

For others, decorating can seem a bit daunting or overwhelming. Some people just don’t know where to start or how to approach things. Perhaps you’re looking out over an empty or, cluttered space just waiting to be spruced up? Here at DeckTec we want your deck to bring you as much joy and use as possible. You don’t want just any deck – you want “your deck”.

I know it’s early in the year, and actually still winter, however, if you know Colorado weather, you know how quickly the seasons can change here. Will you be ready for those first days of warmth? Now’s the perfect time to think about upgrading your outdoor living experience. For me, it’s always been about the beauty of the deck, and the warm and inviting place it can become with the placement of wonderfully decorated pots, large vases, art pieces, and plants that “pop”.

DeckTec has helped create thousands of custom outdoor living spaces, from deck and patios to sunrooms and outdoor rooms. We love creating these spaces for our clients to make memories with friends and family. We also realize that although we may have completed the construction of a deck, patio, or outdoor room, these structures are not complete until they’re personalized by the finishing touches of the homeowner. That’s why we started the Picture This! photo contest two years ago.

As you begin the renewal process of spring, and think about how you’ll enhance your outdoor oasis this year, know that we love to see you loving your deck. Look for the Picture This! contest in future issues, and be ready to take a snapshot of your deck being used the way you always dreamed it would be.
