The Future of Outdoor Living Starts with the Right Deck
Homeowners Want More Than a Backyard Upgrade Today’s homeowners are thinking differently about outdoor living. A new deck is no longer just a weekend project or a seasonal luxury. It has become an extension of the home—a place for gathering, relaxing, entertaining, and creating meaningful everyday experiences. That shift is transforming the way homeowners approach deck building and outdoor design. Instead of focusing on isolated features, families are investing in complete outdoor living environments that feel beautiful, function year-round, and add lasting value to the property. At DeckTec, we help homeowners create outdoor spaces that are not only visually stunning,[...]
Are You Ready for Outdoor Living?
When homeowners look out from their family room or kitchen, the view beyond the back windows tells a story. Is the deck a neglected afterthought—or the outdoor oasis it was always meant to be? At DeckTec Outdoor Designs, the goal is always the latter: a space that feels inviting, personal, and alive. For many clients, designing and decorating their outdoor space comes naturally. The DeckTec team is continually inspired by the time and care homeowners invest in making their decks uniquely their own. Thoughtfully selected furniture, carefully placed art pieces, vibrant flowers, and lush greenery transform each project into a[...]
A Season of Gratitude
It’s that time of year again, when we collectively pause and take a moment from our busy lives to reflect on the many things we have to be grateful for. No matter the ups and downs of our lives – and we all have some – there’s always so much to appreciate if we just look. We’re blessed to live in an unusually beautiful place full of cultural and recreational riches. The economy is strong and has allowed DeckTec to grow and even expand. (And, if you’re anything like me, you’re probably grateful that the elections are over!) It’s hard[...]
My Scary Personal Story: What a Long, Strange Trip It’s Been
I’ve never liked horror movies or scary movies of any kind. But like most everyone, I’ve had to face some pretty scary things in my own life. When someone once asked me about the scariest thing I’d ever experienced, I told him, “When you have a wife and three small kids and no job, let me tell you, it doesn’t get any scarier than that.” Thirty years ago, before DeckTec, that was me. Broke and scared, I launched DeckTec on a prayer and a maxed-out credit card. It all started back in the late 80s, during one of Denver’s infamous[...]
29 Years and Still Going Strong
This month, July, DeckTec officially entered its 29th year of business. It’s not a milestone anniversary like a 25th or 30th, but another year to celebrate nonetheless. Over the years DeckTec has managed to survive and grow through more than a few boom and bust cycles. However, nothing compares to the crazy demand we have been experiencing this year. In fact, after the economy tanked in 2008, my father grew concerned and asked me what I planned to do if no one wanted a non-essential home addition like a custom deck anymore. Honestly, I didn’t have an answer for him. I just[...]
