Questions and Answers with Dave

Q: What do you like to do on your days off?

A: Snowboard, hike, camp, and travel

Q: What got you into decking or Outdoor Living?

A: I went to Purdue to become an architect and really connected with wanting to help people enjoy the outdoors from their homes through functional and interesting design.

Q: What is your favorite part of working at Decktec?

A: I’m very excited about DeckTec’s commitment to bring its design, function, and appeal to synthetic decking. I also appreciate the close-knit, professional team environment that works together for the ultimate customer experience.

Q: DeckTec welcomes you as their very first composite specialist. So how has composite changed over generations, and why does it present such a great opportunity for DeckTec clients?

A: The technology behind composite gets better every year. Composite decking had tons of fading, staining, and warping issues early on. Over the years, some brands have really put their money into developing a product that reduces those issues. These certain brands are confident enough to warranty at 25-50 yrs against those issues. This presents a great opportunity for our customers because Decktec is now confident enough in a few brands to offer them while maintaining the quality of our design and craftsmanship. Everyone deserves a Decktec deck and now our customers can have that DeckTec deck no matter what decking surface is that they prefer to have installed.

Thank you, Dave, for your commitment to craftsmanship and stewardship of DeckTec ideals when interacting with clients. We’re lucky to have you as part of the DeckTec Team!

DeckTec Flexible Financing Offers

60-Second Loan Application

Simple, fast, honest, accurate, and completely confidential: that’s the type of service we provide clients seeking home improvement loans.

Get Started Today!

If the market value of your home is important to you – as it is for many – adding a custom deck can increase your house value.

If you’re considering adding a custom deck to your home, reach out to HFS Financial for all of your home improvement financing needs. HFS makes it easy to fund your project with minimal documentation requirements, no equity or appraisal needed, and direct-to-consumer funding.

Adding or improving an existing deck can add a number of beneficial features to your home. Not only can a new deck improve the value of your property, but it can also make your home more enjoyable for you and your family.

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. All funds are paid directly to you, the consumer, so there’s no need to coordinate contractor work with payout schedules. Handle your project your way.

Once we’ve received your information through our 60-Second Loan Application, you will be notified of possible loan options quickly to discuss and review your loan terms and the home improvement project you have in mind.

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.

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.
