"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."

The painter proceeded to roll on the paint beginning with the red accent wall first.   After all walls were painted  then cutting in around doors and windows.  Then he applied the second coat on the red wall and then applied a second cut-in and the second coat to all walls.  With the walls painted and repainted he started on the baseboards which he painted twice.  Project done!  And an excellent job was completed.

"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

Most building codes require that spindles or balusters on deck and stair railings be spaced no more than four inches apart. This safety standard, often called the '4-inch sphere rule,' is designed to prevent small children or pets from slipping through the railing. A good way to visualize this is that a 4-inch sphere should not be able to pass between two spindles. For the same safety reason, the space between the bottom rail and the deck floor should also be no more than four inches. As a general guideline, professionals often install three balusters per foot of railing. However, since specific requirements can vary by location, it is crucial to check your local building codes to ensure compliance before starting your project.

Local building codes don’t specify the number of steps a deck can have before a railing is required, mainly because stair height varies widely. Most areas require decks 30 inches or higher to have a railing. While not exact, that roughly equates to four to seven steps.

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.

To flatten a cupped deck board, start by ensuring it’s dry. Then, try flipping the board over so the cupped side faces down and reattach it. If that’s not possible, you can use screws to pull it tighter to the joists or plane the edges slightly to reduce the cup. It’s best to replace severely cupped boards.

Pressure-treated decking may be worth it if you want a natural, insect- and rot-resistant decking material that will last for decades with proper maintenance. As such, it’s a much better option than untreated pine. Alternative wood decking materials like cedar and redwood tend to be less durable and more expensive. Some homeowners prefer composite decking, which is a low-maintenance alternative to wood but is also more costly.
