Does the sweltering sun or unpredictable weather limit your ability to enjoy your backyard? Decks are more than a shared space for the table and grill. They are cool outdoor rooms that tie your home to the beauty of the outdoors. Your patio or deck should be a place for friends and family to relax without worrying about Mother Nature. Utilizing our 30 years of experience and expertise, DeckTec creates customized outdoor spaces to fit your needs and lifestyle. Many homeowners are choosing to add a roof cover to escape the summer heat, extending the amount of time they spend outdoors. 

A custom roof addition is your best protection from Colorado’s brutal sun and precipitation. Imagine being able to grill that steak without having to worry about rain or snow! DeckTec’s custom-designed roof additions add value to your home while providing function and appeal to your outdoor living room! Here are three reasons why adding a roof means adding time and enjoyment to your outdoor lifestyle.

 

1. Control the Elements

DeckTec decks are built with relaxation and entertainment in mind. You want to be able to enjoy it during the summer and throughout the year. Roof additions increase the amount of enjoyment you will get from your custom deck. During the heat of the day, a roof can offer a significant drop in temperature. At the same time, mounted heaters mean sitting comfortably outside during chilly evenings. Your roof also adds extra protection for your deck, protecting it and your outdoor furnishings from moisture and sun damage.

2. Bring the Indoors Out

Sitting back with a glass of wine on a warm summer night or a hot cup of coffee on a brisk morning sounds better than staring at the outdoors from your kitchen table. A roof allows for a variety of indoor amenities like TVs and sound systems integrated with the outdoor comforts of a built-in fireplace. The marriage makes a roof-covered deck the perfect space for hosting BBQs, holiday parties, family gatherings, and game days.

3. Protect Your Indoors and Outdoors

Adding a roof addition to your deck or patio allows indirect light into your home, making your home feel bigger and brighter. Finally, blocking damaging direct sunlight protects your interior woodwork and fabrics from fading, not to mention, reducing the cost of cooling your home. Now that’s really COOL!

My husband Matt and I [...] have moved away from the home where we had the beautiful deck and outdoor living space you created.  We will forever remember fondly that beautiful deck, and the hard work you did during a very bad economic time to fix problems around the foundation of our home.  Steve, Keith, and all of your workers were fabulous and we sent several of our friends your way with referrals.  We are sure that your deck helped us get a wonderful offer on our home.

We just wanted to tell you how much we enjoy the decks DeckTec constructed at our home. Their use is a constant joy. We continually receive compliments on the design and quality of your work. We look forward to many years of use.

Eric & Gloria, Arvada

DeckTec are absolute pros. They just finished a big deck and roof cover project at my house. The total experience from working with Steve in Design and Sales, Keith in Project Management, and Charlie, Josh, and Hank in Construction was nothing but 6 star service. 100% on time and on budget with craftsmanship and quality. Skip the “Hammer and Nails” contractors and go with DeckTec if you want an “Outdoor Living Space”. Call these people – you will not be disappointed.

I just wanted to let you know how pleased I am with the work Decktec completed refinishing my deck. It hasn’t looked this good since it was new sixteen years ago. Decktec was very professional, polite and willing to work with me to get the exact color of stain I wanted. I would recommend Decktec to anyone who wants a complete job from the great construction work starting the job, to its thorough cleanup. I’m happy my neighbor referred me to Decktec. You are the fourth company I’ve had refinish my deck and will now be the only company I use going forward.
