Keep your ideas organized

January 21st, 2014|Blog, Deck Design Tips & Trends, Life On Deck|

There's no doubt that when you're in the process of planning your new outdoor living space that you'll be doing quite a bit of research. It may involve perusing the Internet or making a Saturday afternoon outing to a variety of home and garden material stores. Here are some handy apps and web sites we think will help you capture and organize your ideas: 1. Pinterest. Are you pinning? This web site is the modern day equivalent of clipping all those dreamy photos out of home & garden magazines. Organize your boards by features, styles, concepts or anything else you can think of. 2. Evernote. This app is great because it integrates with both your smart phone and your desktop computer, allowing you to take notes on the go and access the files when you get home. One of the most handy features is the ability to tag both notes [...]

Create an Outdoor Room

July 9th, 2013|Blog, Decks & Backyard Features|

You’ve built the perfect deck and equipped it to suit your needs. Perhaps it has comfortable furniture or a fire pit. It’s a great space, but it doesn’t truly become a room until it has a roof over it. Your outdoor space should be a reflection of your lifestyle. Whether it’s creating an outdoor kitchen space, where you can whip up a fantastic dinner under the stars, or building a cozy living room to entertain guests, a roof helps create a space that will be used and enjoyed for years to come. A roof creates the boundaries of your outdoor living space, just like the walls and ceiling do inside your home. A large deck is just a big area without the definition of space a roof cover provides. Call 303-277-1550 or visit DeckTec.com/SummerRoof and setup your consultation today. Remember, at DeckTec we’ve got you covered.

Any deck 15 years or older is subject to age and weathering problems, some not showing obvious signs of decay until an accident happens. Don’t become a victim of this notoriously unseen problem, have your deck inspected!

Are there loose screws or nails “popping” out? Does your deck have loose, warped or broken boards? Do your stairs shake when you use them? Are your rails and/or handrails firmly held in place? There should be [...]
