"John and his crew, consisting of two sons and his nephew did a fabulous job repairing several tiles on my rear patio and sealing it. They moved my heavy patio furniture off of it, put it on a tarp and covered it all up. Came back the next day and replaced everything as it was. They were all very nice, extremely courteous to my wife and myself. I highly recommend them and will certainly use them again."

"I was thrilled with the work performed by the Mercury Pool team. The waterline tile work was detailed, completed with care and high quality. The cool deck and pebble tech were also done very well. The scheduling was little hit and miss, due to weather, holidays and trying to juggle all customers. The cost of the remodel was reasonable. Overall, I was very happy with the quality of work by Mercury Pools and results of my pool remodel."

"Cesar was as passionate as we were that our new house was everything that we wanted it to be. He not only did the work that we asked him to do but even offered ideas that helped save money and improve the final result. We noticed that some final finish work needed to be touched up after the job was completed and Cesar returned to our home to make sure that we were happy with the final product. I have recommended him to people who have asked for someone who is reliable and professional to work on their homes."

"We chose Clark Concepts for the extensive remodeling (outlined below) on our home which we are currently renting, unfortunately our financing  for purchasing the home fell through at the last minute so we were forced to postpone all work for one year in which case we will not use anyone but Clark Concepts.  From the very beginning we received nothing but the utmost respect and professionalism - all of our calls were returned the same day or early the next morning at the latest, all questions were answered in an upfront and honest manner, and during the estimate process Joe was able to show us where to scale back our ideas
and where we could further others but not for much more cost (example saving items from the kitchen and flooring to be re-used in the laundry room and kitchenette), where others would have simply gone the route of just doing everything at the highest price.  Nothing was ever pushed on us, he always asked questions to make sure he understood our vision for our home correctly and made sure we understood the processes etc. and was very honest about things which may not have been a good idea.  Ultimately we settled on the following improvements:
New siding
New (expanded) deck
Railing added to the front porch
Finish the basement including:
     replacing the furnace,
     running central air,
     updating the electrical box
     adding a kitchenette
     adding a laundry room,
     adding an office
     closing in furnace room
New flooring through the entire house
Gutting and re-doing/slightly expanding the kitchen
Gutting both full bathrooms and expanding the master bath
Replacing the garage doors
While in our home we were always treated with the utmost respect, I am expecting and I have a small child in the home and he understood my urgency in getting the repairs taken care of so my home is safe for my children and having everything undertaken in a manner which will be safe in and of itself.  By the end of the process, while heartbroken that we were forced to delay improvements for a year I still have absolutely no doubt in my mind that Clark Concepts is the company which we will be
using.  Through this entire process Joe has gone above and beyond in every manner possible - even though he hadn't started work yet when we had an emergency with the furnace and I was having trouble finding someone to come out and fix it in the middle of the night Joe was ready with one of his people to have it fixed once he got my message.  From my experience a company of this integrity is a rare find in this day and age, I can honestly say that there is no one I would feel more comfortable with working on and in my home, and I am happy to give the highest recommendation and reference - I do not give out such high praise for everyone.  I hope this helps anyone who needed to know anything about this company."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Yes, deck footings typically require an inspection before laying down concrete. While not all local building codes require footing inspection, proper placement ensures a safe and structurally sound deck. An inspector will verify that the deck can adequately hold what you put on top of it., and that the footings have been dug to the correct dimensions.

Ideally, a gate should be able to swing both in and out. However, if it can only open in one direction, it is generally best for it to swing inward. This is often the safest option, especially for deck gates near steps, as you'll want the gate to swing away from the stairs. An inward swing also prevents the gate from opening into a public space, like a sidewalk, and can be more convenient when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

There are exceptions, however. The layout of your property may require a different approach. For example, if your property is on a slope, the gate may not be able to swing inward. You should also ensure the gate can open fully without colliding with any objects or blocking access to other areas. For a backyard garden gate where public access isn't a concern, the direction it swings is largely a matter of personal preference. Finally, always check your local building codes, as they may have specific requirements for which way a gate must swing.

Staining and sealing the underside of a deck creates a moisture barrier but traps water in the boards, quickly leading to rot. No matter how well you seal the above deck, water still gets through via nails and screw heads on the surface. Allow this water to flow naturally under the deck, where it is routed through the drainage system.

The best and fastest way to remove paint from a deck often involves combining a chemical stripper with a pressure washer. Gel-based paint strippers are highly recommended because their thick consistency makes them less messy and easier to apply than liquid strippers. After applying the stripper to loosen the paint, you can use a pressure washer to efficiently wash away the residue. When using a pressure washer for this task, it's important to use a low pressure (under 1000 PSI) to avoid forcing too much moisture into the wood, which could lead to mildew or rot.

Homeowners should build their floating decks at least 18 inches off the ground. Having it at this height will allow for better airflow underneath and help prevent moisture-related problems like warping or rot. That being said, local guidelines for deck heights may vary depending on where you live.
