My first exposure to a system that would keep a lower patio dry came during a two-day home shopping spree. We were looking for a resale home in Castle Pines, Colorado. For two days we traipsed through numerous homes. The area had been treated to a light snowstorm the night before.

As we toured the various homes, I remarked to the salesperson how depressing that constant dripping off the upper deck to the lower patio was. She remarked that there was a product that captured the moisture under the deck and directed it to an internal drain system, thereby eliminating the problem. She warned me that it was a little pricey.

I just mentally catalogued her suggestion and when we began building our new home, I contacted Tom Spooner with Colorado Deck Drain Experts formerly DRY•B•LO® of Colorado to investigate the possibility of incorporating a deck drain system into our Toll Bros. home. As we were in Texas during the construction, I purchased the system “long distance.” Tom furnished a CD presentation and hard copy material. He suggested some lighting and ceiling fan accessories, which made good sense.

So, we decided to go ahead with the additional expenditure. Now, having lived in our new home for five months, I can categorically state that this was one of our best option decisions.

The drain system works flawlessly. For our investment, we ended up with an additional 675 sq ft “out door room.” Because of the weather protection, we kind of splurged on our outdoor furniture. But, because it will be free of moisture, I know we’ll get many years of serviceable use out of the area. We also decided to incorporate an outdoor kitchen. Again, the dry environment enables us to really enjoy the outdoor area.

As for the company, the installation had to be coordinated with our homebuilder on a very tight schedule. Their portion was timely and extremely well done. (Toll Bros. supervision was most complementary.) We had a couple of small “fixes” that needed to be taken care of. In truth, they were probably caused by other subs working on our home. Regardless, Tom and the company didn’t quibble and immediately made the required repairs.

We couldn’t be more pleased.

Dear Deck Drain Experts,

I'm writing this short note to communicate my satisfaction as a recent customer of Colorado Deck Drain Experts. My new and improved deck looks great with the new lower level ceiling and most importantly is now water proof on the lower level. When working on your house you always hope improvements will be noted by your friends and I can tell you that everyone that has seen the job Colorado Deck Drain Experts did have been impressed with both the quality and appearance of your work. You completed the job on time, on cost and most importantly with great pride in your work. Thank you for a job well done!

Colorado Deck Drain Experts,

I was shocked and awestruck when I saw the quality workmanship and materials of the Colorado Deck Drain Experts project. That is in addition to the beauty of the ceiling-side as well as the functionality of the system on the deck-side. The finished job far surpasses any expectation I had from a system that was difficult to imagine never having seen it before. It gives us great comfort to know that, because of the added water protection, our deck will last far longer that it would have without.
