When a Deck Becomes a Room
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.

Best Local Cold Weather Micro-Brrrews
Beer is a big part of the Colorado lifestyle!

For their first deck at the Loveland house, other contractors simply offered the basic slatted roof (trellis or pergola) that the Sims had asked for. DeckTec, on[...]

Come One, Come All See You At The Show
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.
