From Screens to Sunsets: How Two Worlds Collided to Build Outdoor Dreams at Velero Deck Designs
In the midst of a pandemic that reshaped lives and perspectives, one chance encounter forged a new beginning. Jaime Guerrero had seasoned expertise in home construction, having honed his craft across diverse projects, mastering the art of detailing and team leadership. Diego Osorio, was a veteran in information technology who was seeking solace in the outdoors. Diego craved a shift “from screens to sunsets.”
Yet both were in their own way dedicated to perfection in their professions. Jaime’s journey through the construction landscape was a model of dedication and meticulousness. With a legacy spanning more than twenty years, he had traversed the construction gamut, from framing houses to sheetrock finishing, eventually finding his passion in deck building. His penchant for perfectionism caused him to transform what was for some mundane tasks into refined practices like cutting composite boards into the impeccable quality that differentiated his work from competitors.
Diego’s narrative unfolded against a backdrop of technological innovation and financial expertise. Thirty years of entrenched work in IT gave him a wealth of experience and a trove of client-centric skills. But, ironically, just as the world turned virtual, he longed for the outdoors. What Jaime did spoke to his newfound passion for outdoor craftsmanship. That, combined with his financial acumen were skills ripe for a new entrepreneurial venture.
Let’s just say they hit it off. Their shared zeal for craftsmanship and an unspoken alignment of values sowed the seeds for a grand vision. In 2022, fueled by shared passion and an insatiable entrepreneurial spirit, Jaime and Diego took the leap of faith, launching Velero Deck Designs, a perfect blend of their shared dreams and complementary expertise.
Velero Deck Designs emerged not just as a company but as a fusion of Jaime’s mastery of construction intricacies and Diego’s prowess in client relations and business operations. Their collaboration birthed a vision where decks weren’t mere structures but canvases for individual aspirations—a place where craftsmanship and client-centricity merged seamlessly.
Diego’s passion for innovation manifested in the introduction of astonishing 3D renderings, an integral part of Velero’s standard offering during project estimates. Clients were no longer presented with mere blueprints; they were transported into vivid, lifelike visualizations of their dream decks. This innovation bridged the gap between imagination and reality, allowing clients to envisage their envisioned spaces with unprecedented clarity.
