Daylight Savings Ends this Weekend

As the northern hemisphere begins its annual tilt away from the sun, our shorter days are approaching.  This weekend marks the end of Daylight Savings Time and provides a great reminder of some of our 6-month cycles of home tasks.  Here are four top tasks from your friends at DeckTec:

  1. TURN BACK THE CLOCK – Before you head to bed this weekend, be sure to turn back your clock an hour, and enjoy a little extra sleep in the morning.  Did you know that in December, at the deepest part of winter, we will have approximately five and one half hours less of sunshine than the longest days in June?
  2. CHECK YOUR BATTERIES – Now is also a great time to check the batteries on your fire alarms and practice the family emergency preparedness plan.  Kids will have fun running out into the last piles of dry leaves in your yard, and you’ll feel better knowing your alarm system is in order.  Just be sure to check with your fire department for proper placement of new alarms to ensure the safety of your family.
  3. CHECK YOUR TIRE TREADS – With colder weather approaching, now is the time to have your tires checked.  Even all-weather tires can become brittle in colder temperatures, so you may want to take the car into the shop for a little winter weather preparation.
  4. PREP YOUR DECK – Maintenance of your wood deck is a smart way to maintain the value both of the deck itself and of your home.  Experts from DeckTec would be happy to help you check your deck for immediate maintenance needs, or let you know what you’ll want to address in the spring months.  Just give us a call at (303) 277.1550 and we’ll be happy to set up an appointment.

Whew! After all that work, you may want to sit back, heat a cup of hot apple cider with cinnamon and cloves, and enjoy a night under the stars around your fire pit or in your spa.  Winter may change the hours of daylight and activity, but this new season simply means Outdoor Living has a fantastic new look—the cool look of winter!

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.

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.
