In August, right here in Colorado, four people were sent to the hospital from injuries caused by a collapsing outdoor deck. Any deck 15 years or older is subject to aging problems with some not showing obvious signs of decay until an accident happens. Don’t become a victim of this notoriously unseen problem.
Warning signs
As Denver’s recognized deck specialist since 1990, we ask you to look for these items:
- Are joists, beams, or other structural pieces rotted or split?
- Do your stairs shake when you use them?
- Are rails poorly connected or not to code?
- Does your deck have loose, warped or broken boards?
- Is the overall condition of your deck affecting its usefulness or marketability in any way?
If you have these or any other concerns, have your deck inspected by a professional deck specialist. Our recommendations on the appropriate maintenance plan will keep your deck not only looking great, but safe all year.
Don’t do it yourself
While many people think of a deck as the ideal do-it-yourself project, maintaining your deck for safety and beauty is especially important today as outdoor living has become an increasingly important part of leisure and family activities. A professional inspection can save you hours of money and maintenance work while ensuring the safe keeping of your family and friends.
Winterize your deck
Right now is also a great time to check your deck before the harsh winter weather can do more damage. Water gets into cracks, freezes, then expands, doing irreversible damage to the materials and eroding the investment in your outdoor living structure.
Your safety is so important to your team at DeckTec, we are offering a 15% discount on our maintenance service. This offer is good for a limited time only, so don’t wait. Your family’s safety is worth the call: 303-277-1550.

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.
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.
