In 1990:
- The Simpsons first appeared on TV
- The first GPS for a car was introduced by Pioneer
- Apartheid was abolished by Nelson Mandela
- The 2 best-selling singles were: Elton John, Sacrifice & The Righteous Brothers, Unchained Mercy
- DeckTec started building incredible outdoor living spaces
I believe most people’s perception of a deck is a somewhat generic square or rectangular platform off the back of a house – at least when I started DeckTec 35 years ago, that was the case. Having previously been employed in landscaping, sunrooms, and custom cedar homes, all of which featured elements of decks and outdoor living spaces, I started to pick up on an increasing element of design in trade publications and in the field. Having grown up in a home where family and holiday gatherings were hosted on a nice, covered patio, the importance of outdoor living and design became obvious to me.
I discovered a related niche in the still undeveloped outdoor living design and build business. Decks with levels, staircases with landings, roof additions, and integrating spas became an art and a passion for the DeckTec designer and talented specialty builder we employ. However, the one design feature that excited me and differentiated our project was the curve!
When I consult with clients, I begin by evaluating their outdoor space and listening to their priorities, desires, and everyday way of life. This intake process is something I continue to use today, fueling my inspiration to craft innovative designs that blend privacy, protection from the elements, functionality, and—of course—style.
Our outdoor living spaces focus on both appeal and functionality. We incorporate privacy features so you don’t have to look at the back of greasy BBQ grills or your neighbors. Our designs include beautiful lighting schemas for nighttime. We’re ahead of the curve—our designs are more than just decks. Over the years, the size and scope of DeckTec’s projects have grown, but our goal has remained the same: finding new approaches to outdoor living that turn the notion of the boring, “same old” backyard deck on its head.
With 35 years of experience, there’s almost nothing we haven’t seen, heard of, or built with. If you can dream it, we can build it. This issue of the DeckTec Insider is a tribute to the latest innovations in outdoor living. Whether you’re looking for a new deck, a facelift for an aged space, or an expansion of your outdoor living environment, we have fabulous offerings for you.
Our pleasure is to be your guide in exploring the art of outdoor living.

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.
