If your deck has seen better days, this might finally be the year you commit to giving it a facelift. After all, 2020 is officially the year of the staycation, so why not get your outdoor living space in shape for a summer of enjoyment?

Investing in your deck this summer will pay off well into the future. By keeping your deck well-maintained, in good repair, and regularly refinished, it will hold onto its value for many years to come.

And if you ever decide to sell, that gorgeous deck will pay for itself in the added value it brings to your home.

Every deck is unique and has different maintenance needs. But there are a few basic services we provide at DeckTec to keep any wood deck looking absolutely stunning, year in and year out.

Here’s a brief look at each of our deck maintenance services.

Refinishing Your Deck

The climate here in Colorado isn’t exactly gentle on outdoor living spaces. High altitude exposure to the sun, dry conditions, ice, snow, and wind take their toll over time.

A quality deck has a quality finish that’s designed to keep the worst elements at bay. But here’s the thing — you have to regularly refresh that finish if you want it to keep doing its job.

That’s where DeckTec’s refinishing service comes in. By updating your deck’s weatherproof coating on a regular basis, you can keep your deck looking perfect for a long time. This is also a good opportunity to choose a stain coloring you love.

It’s never too late to refinish your deck. If you’re the proud owner of a new or relatively new deck, we recommend scheduling a regular refinishing at least once a year to keep it in good condition.

Repairing Your Deck

There’s a lot that goes into making your deck stable and safe. Rails, posts, beams, joists, balusters, stringers, piers, and leders…the list goes on! Don’t know what some of these are? That’s okay—that’s our job!

The point is, when any one of those pieces suffers damage, the structure of your entire deck is compromised. Plus it doesn’t look so good, either.

Our Colorado and Denver deck repair specialists have years of experience under their tool belts and are ready to bring their skills to your out-of-repair deck. As a bonus, we offer refinishing at a discount when you bundle it with repairs!

Please note, we’re not a company that does cheap fixes or temporary “band-aids” on decks. We’re committed to flawless work, and decks that are safe and reliable.

When we make repairs to our customers’ decks, we do them the right way, or not at all.

We’ll also be the first to advise you when it’s wiser to replace instead of repair. For example, if your deck is over 15 years old and in poor condition, it’s probably smarter to build new.

Or if the cost of the repair is more than 70% of what a new deck would cost, then you almost definitely want to tear down the old and bring in a new custom wood deck.

If you decide to opt for a new deck, we can certainly help. Take a look at some of the new custom wood decks we’ve built in recent years >

Remodeling Your Deck

If you feel like your deck is missing something, you might be right!

Our deck remodeling service is here to not only get your deck in good repair, but also to upgrade it with design features that will really step up the quality of your outdoor living.

Some of the remodeling we offer includes:

Take your deck from just fine to just amazing with one or all-of-the-above upgrades!

HFS Financial also offers 120% financing, allowing you some financial wiggle room for those unexpected hiccups that you may find along the way of your deck-building journey.

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.

Nancy & Matt, Lakewood

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.

Dave & Sheila, Centennial

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.
