The allure of a beautiful Duradek deck is undeniable. But as you delve into the details, a question might arise:  Can I install Duradek myself?  The answer, for optimal results and lasting value, is a resounding no. Here's why Duradek installation is best left to certified professionals:

Ensuring Your 15-Year Warranty

Duradek boasts an industry-leading 15-year manufacturer's warranty. This comprehensive coverage ensures your deck is protected for its entire lifespan. However, this warranty is contingent upon  professional installation by certified Duradek installers.  These individuals have undergone a rigorous 2-year apprenticeship program followed by Duradek's specialized training program. Their expertise ensures the installation adheres to strict guidelines, maximizing the performance and longevity of your deck.

Beyond Standard Warranties:

Duradek goes above and beyond with its warranties. Unlike competitors offering pro-rated coverage, Duradek provides  complete protection for 15 years. Additionally, a  5-year appearance guarantee safeguards against premature fading or discoloration.  Furthermore, Duradek's  fully transferable warranty protects your investment even if you sell your home.

Caldek's Workmanship Guarantee: An Extra Layer of Security

Here at Caldek, we take pride in our expert installations.  That's why we offer a  5-year warranty on workmanship in addition to the manufacturer's warranty. This provides extra peace of mind, knowing our certified installers have meticulously followed the  correct procedures throughout the installation process.

Why Certified Installers Matter

Duradek's premium vinyl demands  specific installation techniques to ensure optimal performance and longevity.  Our certified installers possess the  knowledge, experience, and specialized tools necessary for a flawless installation. This meticulous approach is vital for achieving the 15-25+ year lifespan Duradek decks are renowned for in Alberta's harsh climate.

Investing in Expertise for Lasting Value

While a DIY approach might seem appealing initially, professional installation by certified Duradek professionals  is an investment in quality.  It ensures your deck is installed  correctly, maximizing your warranty coverage and  guaranteeing a beautiful, long-lasting outdoor space you'll enjoy for years to come.  Contact Caldek today, and let our certified installers transform your vision into a stunning Duradek deck.
