When a Deck Becomes a Room

April 3rd, 2019|Blog, DeckTec News & Updates, Life On Deck|

Whether it’s wood floors, wood furniture or, of course, wood decks and roofs, I’ve always had tremendous appreciation not only for the durability of wood but for the warm, welcoming atmosphere that wood contributes to our living spaces. As I see it, there’s no substitute for the way that wood enhances our sense of home. Wood offers a solid, authentic and earthy feel, with subtle warm tones and natural markings that make each piece as unique as each of our customers. Nothing manufactured or mass-produced can possibly compare with what nature has provided, and that’s why DeckTec relies exclusively on quality softwoods such as Redwood and Cedar and hardwoods like Mahogany and Ipe when creating our custom decks. Over the years I’ve watched the trend toward increasing sophistication in outdoor living, with the outdoor “room” now rivaling the finest interiors in terms of design, furnishings, and material quality. Today’s homeowners [...]

Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About the Garden & Home Show!

February 13th, 2019|Blog, Colorado Life, DeckTec News & Updates, Vendor Feature|

Did you know that the Colorado Garden & Home Show, all 400,000 square feet of it, is the largest and most prestigious home and garden show west of the Mississippi? More than 600 companies from 25 states and Canada are showcasing cutting-edge technologies in landscaping, gardening, energy-efficient heating and cooling, window treatments, flooring, lighting, fireplaces, patio furniture and fun stuff like greenhouses, sound systems, decks and hot tubs. This year’s show includes 11 inspiring landscaped gardens. It’s the place to go to get out of the cold or if you’ve got cabin fever. More than 50 free educational seminars and how-to demos offer something for everyone. If you’re a flower lover, Wednesday, February 13 is the annual flower sale with proceeds benefiting the Arvada Rotary. This one-stop garden and home improvement marketplace is obviously not-to-be-missed. No matter how big or small your home-related concerns, you’ll find options and answers from [...]

Come One, Come All See You At The Show

February 7th, 2019|Blog, DeckTec News & Updates|

How time flies. I can’t believe this is DeckTec’s 29th year of participation in the Colorado Garden & Home Show down at the Colorado Convention Center. You’d think we’d get tired of this massive production and all the hard work exhibiting entails – assembling, staffing and disassembling our massive 20 x 20 display. Take a year off? Unthinkable! This magnificent home show is totally worth the effort. It’s an unsurpassed opportunity for connecting with wonderful clients such as yourself, with free tickets for all, including your friends and family, courtesy of DeckTec. The more the merrier! We love catching up with you and hearing how things are going “on deck” as well as in the rest of your life. If you have feedback or suggestions for us, we hope you’ll share those. The show really helps us to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to what our clients [...]

A Season of Gratitude

December 12th, 2018|Blog, DeckTec News & Updates, Life On Deck|

It’s that time of year again, when we collectively pause and take a moment from our busy lives to reflect on the many things we have to be grateful for. No matter the ups and downs of our lives – and we all have some – there’s always so much to appreciate if we just look. We’re blessed to live in an unusually beautiful place full of cultural and recreational riches. The economy is strong and has allowed DeckTec to grow and even expand. (And, if you’re anything like me, you’re probably grateful that the elections are over!) It’s hard for me to believe that 30 years have passed since I founded DeckTec. I was just a spry pup when I started this thing! I still feel young at heart, but the reality is that I’ve grown older and hopefully a bit wiser. With the holidays, I find myself reflecting [...]

Eric Veronesi: DeckTec’s Mission Control

November 14th, 2018|Blog, DeckTec News & Updates, Employee Feature|

Little known to clients these days, Eric Veronesi, head of DeckTec’s estimating and design department, is actually the company’s “mission control” man behind the scenes. A mechanical engineer by training and a former painter and home improvement specialist, Veronesi started off in sales at DeckTec in 2010. His current position makes perfect use of his broad-based background and widely-known addiction to perfection. Whether he’s determining the best approach for constructing a complicated deck or pitching in with a final copy edit on the newsletter, one golden thread runs through everything Veronesi lays his hands on – getting it done right. With his impeccable standards and unwavering commitment to excellence, Veronesi has found a professional home for himself and his talents at DeckTec. He answered an ad for a salesperson, was immediately impressed with the company, and hasn’t looked back since. “I have pretty high attention to detail with the construction [...]
