Gary Gansar Loves His DeckTec Deck

October 4th, 2017|Customer Feature, Deck Project Highlights|

When your adult children start hosting their parties on your newly-built backyard deck, you know you’ve done something right. “I’ve got four grown kids, and they have their parties over here now,” Gary Gansar said, referring to his 817 square-foot mahogany DeckTec deck that was completed in May. Maybe it’s the great music, with separate upper and lower deck controls for the Sonos sound system, the television designed specifically for the outdoors, or the cozy indoor comforts brought outside. “DeckTec installed a fairly large pergola that we’ve suspended a swing from, people get a lot of use and enjoyment out of that swing,” Gansar said. But it’s not just Gansar’s adult children who dig the new deck. The deck, which Gansar described as, “A tremendous upgrade from what we had before,” has something for everybody. “It’s great, it’s very comfortable. We get tremendous compliments on it, people tell us it’s [...]

Client of The Month: Bob Meddles

May 14th, 2016|Deck Project Highlights, DeckTec News & Updates|

Have you had enough? Enough of idiots circling the parking lot for 20 minutes to get that space right up front before heading to their aerobics class? Enough of morons pulling crazy stunts and then acting surprised when they end up in the emergency room? Local comedian Bob Meddles sure has! After over 12 years working as a newspaper editor and freelance writer, Bob started SlapTheStupidPeople.org based on a comedy campaign with the slogan, “We may not be able to eliminate stupid people, but at least we can identify them by the red welts on their cheeks.” Bob now travels the country performing standup comedy bringing his hilarious take on modern culture, relationships, and life in general to the stage. “It’s something I love doing. I also travel around and work clubs and corporate events — wherever the mic takes me.” Bob became a DeckTec client in 2011, when we [...]

Anticipating A New Deck

May 10th, 2014|Blog, Deck Project Highlights, Life On Deck|

Dear DeckTec Friends, I hope you don't mind my talking in first person today. Just wanted to tell you about the new deck the team at DeckTec is putting in for us. I am so excited! Spring is a great time for new beginnings, and so it is no wonder much of the work DeckTec does is ordered in February and March. Their maintenance and construction teams are in full swing by May and are likely to be busy right through Halloween. My deck started as an annual walk through with Vince. We checked out a few backyard projects, some walkways that need maintenance and the like. As we came around front I mentioned wistfully how nice it would be if my front entry could look as nice as the back, where five years ago, DeckTec built what has become a showpiece for our back yard; a roof-covered deck. For [...]

Save Your Summer!

July 5th, 2012|Blog, Deck Project Highlights, Life On Deck|

Jeff was out on his Redwood deck one spring morning enjoying a cup of coffee and reading the morning paper. He glanced down at the deck and noticed that scratches from the dog’s claws had marred the surface and the stain he had applied several years ago had begun to fade. He got up and walked the rest of the deck, inspecting the overall condition. He decided it was time to refinish the deck so it would look nice for the outdoor parties and barbecues he typically hosted in summertime. Meanwhile, on the other side of town, Kevin was looking at the surface of his own deck, which he had spent most of the previous summer painting himself. The brutal Colorado sun and the winter elements had destroyed the paint, which was now peeling and the deck was an eyesore. He was disappointed that he had wasted his entire season [...]
