"I highly recommend John Donahue and his crew for doing the expert quality work they did on sealing my roof with their liquid rubber sealer. The final texture and look were fantastic and made our roof look like new! John was a real pro in inspecting and evaluating the problems and had wonderful communication skills in explaining every aspect of his suggestions on his solution to use for a cost-effective price! The team of workers was prompt, friendly, and did great work in such a timely manner. Real pros who also did nice cleanup work after the finish of the job!!! I plan to use them again for other home improvement projects because they have been one of the best experiences I have had with home subcontractors!"

"Victor was upfront about the timeline to complete the project. The project was done in stages as planned. The first crew came to jackhammer the old surface and tile and from the start I had immense confidence in them. They worked as a unified team, very organized and thorough. My project was difficult because there is no backyard access and all materiel had to come through the front door and house. The crews were very careful and diligent in protecting my house and floor as well as cleaning up the work area after each part of the project. Different crews were sent out to address the different parts of the project and each did an outstanding job. It seemed as if each crew member had worked together for a while as their approach to the job was focused and unified. They worked quickly and efficiently but were not rushed nor sloppy. Everyone left the job site neat and tidy especially after the demolition of the old pool surface ( jack hammering concrete and plaster creates lots of dust) and during the resurfacing. The crew cleaned up the whole patio including the chaise lounges and removed all the ambient concrete and plaster dust. The deck resurfacers gently tied back plants in the borders around the pool and taped off areas so as not to get paint anywhere but the deck. There was no fuss nor muss. Very, very professional crews as well as Victor and his office staff. I highly recommend Mercury Pool Plasterers for resurfacing and rebuilding your pool."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Covering your deck with a breathable tarp can protect it from snow, ice, and cold winter temperatures. This is a good winterizing solution if you don’t plan to use your deck at all during the colder months. However, it might be best to skip the tarp if you’ll still be walking on your deck or using it in a limited capacity.

When installing deck boards, screws are generally a better option than nails. Screws offer superior holding strength over time, keeping the boards securely in place. In contrast, nails are more likely to pop out, which can create a tripping hazard. While you can use either, we recommend using 3-inch galvanized deck screws. To minimize the risk of cracking the wood, it's a good practice to drill small pilot holes before driving the screws into the deck joists.

The proper height for a stair riser or deck step is between four and seven inches, with seven inches often considered the most comfortable. Building your stairs to this height ensures a strain-free step position and minimizes the risk of trip and fall injuries. For optimal safety and comfort, especially on deck stairs, a rise of around seven inches should be paired with a tread depth (or run) of at least 10 to 12 inches. While it is possible to design stairs with risers up to 12 inches, this height can be challenging for children, pets, or individuals with mobility issues. Always check with your local building codes, as they may mandate specific dimensions that differ from these general recommendations.

A random orbital sander is best for sanding a deck because it is easier to handle than other power sanders and is less likely to damage the wood. Most decks are made of types of softwood, so a gentler sanding process is essential to prevent permanent blemishes. For example, belt sanders can gouge softwoods.

Yes, you can draw your own deck plans in many cases. However, you must know your local building codes and be familiar with carpentry principles. Even then, it's always best to run your plans by a professional contractor with experience building decks, whether you choose to DIY some of the build or not.
