Making a Splash Since 1990

February 1st, 2023|Blog, DeckTec News & Updates|

In 1991 I was an upstart deck designer, determined to create a new type of deck, not the boring, square platforms that were ubiquitous along the growing Front Range, but a customized and personal outdoor environment. My designs would incorporate multiple levels and different living areas to relax and entertain. They would blend the beauty of landscaping as much as providing a seamless outdoor continuation of the home. Above all, DeckTec decks would redefine outdoor living in Colorado. There was just one problem: no clients. With no clients to vouch for me, convincing homeowners to trust a drastically new way of thinking about their backyards would be challenging. I needed an “in” and I found it with spa companies. It’s true! I made my very first sales by partnering with sellers of hot tubs. These folks knew their clients wanted a private place to relax and entertain. They could provide [...]

DeckTec Client Review – Hadsell, Evergreen, CO, 2021

June 6th, 2022|Deck Project Highlights, DeckTec News & Updates|

One year ago the fantastic crew of Cody, Will, Andy and Tommy were busy building our dream deck. It was a pleasure having this crew here every day. Will usually arrived first and reviewed the previous day’s work. He easily answered any questions that Dave and I had. Cody always knew the general plan and kept the project moving. These guys were always pleasant and positive and it was a joy to work with them. They were awesome dealing with our new puppy, Bogey, who was only 7 months old and a bit of a pest if running loose…we are sure he stole a couple lunches but I never heard a complaint from the ‘victims’. They had to shovel through snow onto the site at least 3-4 times and worked in conditions Dave and I considered horrible…snow, rain, fog and temps below 20 degrees. On several of the sunny days [...]

Can DeckTec Build in the Snow?

October 20th, 2021|DeckTec News & Updates, Outdoor Living|

Photo by Damian McCoig on Unsplash I recently received some feedback from a client. He shared his experience of our team assigned to build a back patio deck for him this past spring. The build was slated to begin on March 16, the day after the blizzard of 2020. As the snow piled up around his house, the client expected to hear from our lead that they would need to postpone. To his surprise, he found that DeckTec had anticipated the storm and made arrangements to clear a path through the feet of snow so that the job could start on schedule. By the time the snow had melted from the shaded areas of his yard, the deck was well underway, and the client was able to take full advantage of Deck Season. This story highlights our response to a common question we receive: Does DeckTec build in the snow? [...]
