Making a Splash Since 1990
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[...]
On-Deck with Steve Sparhawk – Gratitude 2022
This Gratitude Edition of our newsletter completes the sixth year of The DeckTec Lifestyle. We believe our little print piece is appropriately titled. While not a literary work of art, it is our attempt at staying in touch with our valuable clients (and some select potential clients) and musing about topics related to decks and the ubiquitous outdoor living along the Colorado Front Range.

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[...]
