Those who lament the lack of four full seasons in Colorado must not have a deck. If they were like you, they’d know that Colorado actually has five seasons: winter, spring, summer, fall, and deck season.

Guess what approaches?

After a cold, snowy winter, historically wet spring, and brutally hot summer we’re now approaching the best time of the year in Colorado. Sure, fall in Colorado is stunning, but sandwiched between the heat and the first snowfall is a season officially sanctioned for Colorado’s outdoor living enthusiasts. When the air to deck wood ration become irresistible. When all of the effort put into the backyard and garden is in full display, and bounty of the summer harvest is in peak quality.

Honestly, it’s tough to describe what makes this time of the year so enjoyable. It may be different for everyone, but after a long, hot summer, perhaps its simply the break in the heat that makes this season such a great time to unwind from an entire season of trying to unwind.

If you were unaware of this golden season in Colorado, don’t worry. There is still time to prepare to make the most of this fleeting time. First, get your outdoor living environment right. A peak season calls for a strong deck game. Giving your favorite furniture a rinse is always a good start after a hazy, high pollen summer. If you had your deck refinished this spring, a quick rinse is also advised. If you prefer to get your deck refinished in fall, there is still time. The harsh heat and rays have sucked the moisture out of your wood deck and replaced it with dirt and grime. Quite frankly, at this point in the year, you deck is thirsty. Refresh it. Once your deck is ready, set your sights on grilling up some season corn, pouring yourself a drink at sunset, and maybe leveling up with a high-end s’more to wind down the evenings.

There isn’t much to making the most of the best time of the year, you already have everything you need. And now that you’re aware of it, you can plan to take advantage of it. Consider this your invitation to enjoy the best time of the year. It’s what deck people like us live for!

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.

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.
