Come One, Come All See You At The Show
How time flies. I can’t believe this is DeckTec’s 29th year of participation in the Colorado Garden & Home Show down at the Colorado Convention Center. You’d think we’d get tired of this massive production and all the hard work exhibiting entails – assembling, staffing and disassembling our massive 20 x 20 display. Take a year off? Unthinkable! This magnificent home show is totally worth the effort. It’s an unsurpassed opportunity for connecting with wonderful clients such as yourself, with free tickets for all, including your friends and family, courtesy of DeckTec. The more the merrier! We love catching up[...]

Down Old Durango Way
Why not grab Fido and Spot and your family and friends and get off the Front Range for a change of scenery? Colorado doesn’t stop at Rocky Mountain National Park or even the Vail Valley, y’know!

Not too far from the New Mexico border, Durango is a perfect place to start exploring the area.

Client Interviews: The Skibinski Family
Friends and family say that Mike and Korrie’s DeckTec deck has turned the already-beautiful Skibinski home into a luxury resort. But it’s not just about impressing others. The split-level Mahogany deck, which was completed in July, works for the Skibinski family on so many levels (no pun intended). Architecturally, the deck connects the house to the pool, creating a sense of flow that the Westminster property lacked. Korrie, who works in education, now has a place to relax after work and as she put it, “just listen to the rain.” For the Skibinskis’ 13-year-old daughter, the deck is a peaceful,[...]
