The Problem: Limited Outdoor Living Space
A couple in Evergreen, CO, dreamed of expanding their outdoor living space with a roof-covered deck. However, their home’s existing passive-solar infrastructure presented a significant design challenge. Their current outdoor area lacked shelter from the elements, making it difficult to fully enjoy their beautiful mountain surroundings year-round. They needed a deck plan that seamlessly integrated with their home’s unique energy-efficient structure while maintaining a creative, ergonomic, and functional design.
Beyond functionality, they also wanted a deck design that stood out—something unique and thoughtfully crafted. It had to be a space where they could host family gatherings, enjoy peaceful morning coffees, and relax in the evenings, all while blending harmoniously with their home’s architecture and natural surroundings.
The Guide: Expert Deck Designers Who Solve Complex Challenges
At DeckTec, we specialize in deck building that goes beyond the ordinary. With a deep understanding of structural integration and an eye for innovative design, we create decks that enhance the beauty and functionality of any home. We understand that every home—and every homeowner—has a unique vision and set of needs. That’s why we take the time to listen, plan, and build with precision.
This project was particularly exciting because it required both technical expertise and creative ingenuity. From navigating the passive-solar infrastructure to designing a deck that was both visually stunning and practical, we were eager to tackle the challenge head-on.
The Plan: A Custom Deck Design for Comfort and Elegance
After a thorough consultation and site analysis, we crafted a deck design that met all their needs. The result? A breathtaking 2nd-story wood deck with an open gable roof, seamlessly complementing the home’s architecture.
Materials That Blend Beauty and Durability
- Red Balau Mahogany hardwood decking: This exotic hardwood was chosen for its rich color, durability, and resistance to weathering, ensuring a long-lasting and beautiful surface.
- ‘B’ Redwood Rails with Metal Balusters: These elements provided a balance of safety and aesthetics, enhancing the deck’s overall appeal.
- Cedar Posts, Headers, Hips, Ridge, and Rafters: The natural beauty of cedar added warmth and character while maintaining strength and stability.
- Douglas Fir Tongue-and-Groove Roof Decking: This choice not only added a polished look to the underside of the roof but also contributed to the deck’s structural integrity.
Features That Elevate Outdoor Living
- Low-Voltage Deck Lighting: Subtle, energy-efficient lighting creates a welcoming ambiance for evening gatherings while improving safety.
- A Custom Drink Bar: Perfect for entertaining, this feature allows the homeowners to enjoy refreshments without stepping inside.
- A Thoughtfully Crafted Layout: Maximizing space and functionality, the square design ensured a balanced and symmetrical aesthetic.
- A Beautiful Staircase: Providing easy access to the yard, the staircase enhances the overall usability of the deck.
A Beautiful and Functional Outdoor Space
Now, this couple has a stunning, ergonomic, and functional deck that seamlessly integrates with their home. Whether hosting guests, enjoying a quiet evening under their new covered deck, or taking in the picturesque views of Evergreen, CO, their outdoor space has been completely transformed.
The combination of expert craftsmanship, high-quality materials, and innovative deck design has resulted in an inviting retreat that adds value to their home. Additionally, the passive-solar efficiency of their home was preserved, ensuring that their investment was both aesthetically pleasing and environmentally responsible.

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.
