"We built a brand new deck on the back of our house, replacing the original deck. Deck Builders did a great job from the minute I called them to when they completed the work. Randy was very collaborative and responsive as we refined our requirements and specifications. Once we committed, Deck Builders helped us with the County permits and our HOA submission. The two person crew, Baldemar and Miguel, were phenomenal. They worked incredibly hard in very hot conditions and always answered our questions and inquiries as they were doing their work. They were always very positive and seemed to care a lot about the quality of their work (which was excellent) Ricardo came by several times and ensured everything was done to specification and even made some recommendations on lighting, which the crew installed. I would strongly recommend Deck Builders to anyone."

"DO NOT use this company. I went through Lowes to have a composite deck built. Working with them was an absolute nightmare. It took them 3 months to even START the job. I discovered the reason for the delay is because when they filed the permit (which took them 6 weeks to do), the contractor's license was expired. It then took them another 5 weeks to update their license in order to get the permit. They ordered and installed a completely differently railing style than what was on the contract/design, then blamed me for the mistake. Rather than ordering a new product, they cut the existing one to make it work. I am now 9 months post project, and the railing has warped, the deck is sloped, and the overall quality is horrible. Worst of all, turns out they NEVER GOT IT INSPECTED! I learned that Lowes had to fire them due to MULTIPLE issues with the company. I am thankful I have Lowes to help rectify the issues, but if i didn't, I would be pursuing legal action against them!"

"Disgusted Customers Rick Fisher d.b.a. Before and After Home Improvement I am only giving a 1 star because I cannot go any lower. If you want professional and courteous service that also includes communication about delays and crew no shows, do not hire Rick Fisher and Before and After Home Improvement. My wife and I hired Rick Fisher and his company in the latter part of June 2018, to build a stamped concrete patio; a small composite deck; and a pergola with the electrical kit for the ceiling fan. The project finally began on August 7, 2018, and was completed around August 28, 2018. We paid Rick approximately $26,000 in 3 timely installments according to the contract. We exceeded our budget on this project because we were impressed with the pictures of Rick’s previous projects and his reviews. “Don’t believe the hype”. It all started with Rick not being able to obtain the county permit for the pergola due to his drawing which lacked specificity to the dimensions and materials used so the structure would be able to withstand strong winds. Rick advised me the permit office required him to hire an engineer which I would need to pay for him to subcontract to provide that information for his drawing to resubmit to the county permit office. Rick never mentioned this to us before we signed the contract, nor was it stipulated in the contract. Rick’s solution was pay for an engineer or don’t do the pergola. I took initiative to contact the permit office and speak with the manager to arrange a meeting with her and Rick. She was able to assist Rick and get the permit approved without the need for an engineer which would have been at my expense. During the course of this project, my wife and I spent entirely too much time, energy, and efforts addressing issues with Rick relative to his lack of responsiveness and doing the job he said he would. These issues were within his span of control and frankly he failed miserably. The materials are of a decent quality, which is why the pictures look great on the web, however; the customer service, commitment to doing the job right is a serious problem. Rick says he only does one job at a time and he will be on the job site everyday to ensure things are done to standard. This was simply not true. Rick has a lot of projects going on and he rarely came by our home. He was not responsive to my calls or text messages regarding his presence and multiple other issues that required communication. Rick told me the job was going fine because he saw the pictures of what was being done. I demanded that he come by my home to physically inspect the progress. He came by and some adjustments were required. Rick does not give you specific days or times when he will come by even when you are requesting a specific day or time. I had to send multiple text messages and calls to get him to do what he initially said he would do. The project was completed on August 28, 2018. On October 7, 2018, I contacted Rick regarding the rust on the staples holding down the electric cord on top of the pergola. Instead of utilizing galvanized staples or some material that does not rust as a result of inclement weather, his crew used regular staples to hold down the electric cord. Now I have rust running along the top of this expensive pergola that we paid Rick about $8,500 to build. The electrical kit was an additional $1,500 approximately. Rick has not come by my home to take care of this issue as of yet. We have a manufactures warranty on the material but nothing from Rick covering us on the workmanship of the project. On October 18, 2018, he sent someone allegedly from his crew to resolve the issue, however; the worker was not prepared to resolve the issue and was going to replace the staples with more of the same staples. Complete Nonsense! I advised Rick this was unacceptable. The deficiency would not take more than 2 hours to resolve, but Rick refuses to come out and take care of it. It’s such a small job, I cannot get another company to come out to do the repair because it’s not feasible. One reputable contractor said he cannot believe the company who did the work did not have the professional common courtesy to fix the problem. In addition to this, when Rick’s crew excavated the yard to lay the patio, they were supposed to leave a trench sufficient for water to flow into the storm drain. Now we have standing water in the yard when it rains. The yard had a trench before they began excavating and we had no issues with standing water. It’s going to cost me $1,000 to have this problem resolved. Perhaps it’s all in the name: Before and After Home Improvement. Beware, you will need repairs Before and After Home Improvement allegedly completes your project!"

Your pool signals it needs resurfacing when you observe noticeable plaster flakes, peels, and surface stains on its finish. Identifying rough textures and visible cracks along the pool walls or steps provides clear evidence of severe deterioration. Diligent inspections and a proactive approach ensure that immediate resurfacing preserves the pool’s structural integrity and maintains its striking appearance. Plan on resurfacing every 10 years.
Yes—as long as the base coat is solid, you can add a fresh layer right on top. The surface needs a deep clean, minor crack repairs, and a good acid wash so the new plaster sticks. A seasoned pool professional will handle the preparation and application, providing you with a finish that looks sharp and withstands daily use.
A solid plaster job should hold up for five to 10 years. Maintain optimal water chemistry and adhere to a regular cleaning routine to maximize the lifespan of the surface. Annual inspections from a local pool pro help you catch and repair small issues early and keep the finish looking sharp.
