We are a locally owned and operated deck, patio, basement, garage and addition company with many years of experience and customer satisfaction. We use only the best materials and provide expert craftsmanship every step of the way. VA Class A License #2705062265.
"I submitted an estimate request through their website. Received a reply from Robert that they are "scheduling new construction into July", which was fine. Then he asked for "dimensions or approximate square footage" of the patio, which I provided, along with the pictures of the area. I also specifically mentioned the material (concrete): "I'd probably want a concrete leveled with the concrete slab that is already there". Robert replied: "Thank you for the clarification – that is very helpful" and states that they schedule estimates for 3 weeks away - no problem, I made an appointment between 10-11 AM. On the date of appointment Robert emails at 9:50 AM to tell me that appointment needs to be rescheduled due “Due to the expected weather today”. It was raining in the early morning, but stopped at the time of our appointment (mind you, I had other contractors keeping appointments in the rain). He offers to provide “ballpark costs for the patio you want and compare the paver vs. Flagstone cost”. Why would I want “ballpark” estimate after waiting for him to come for 3 weeks and also after I had made it clear that I wanted all concrete patio? I replied that I wanted to have the real estimate for all-concrete patio, which would require his visit. And then Robert drops the final bomb on me: “We unfortunately do not install concrete patios – only paver or Flagstone”. I understand they have more business than they can handle now and can be picky with the jobs they take on. My project, obviously, was not big enough for them, but they knew the scope of my project and still refused to even show up for an estimate. Everyone of their competitors that I contacted at least kept their appointments and had been professional."

"We recently hired Deck Builders, Inc (DBI) to build a new screened porch with a replacement deck and stairs and are very pleased with the results. The owner, Ricardo Anturiano, and the work crew- led by Ronald — were professional, courteous, and hard working. Ricardo was frequently on site and available to answer questions in person, by phone or text. We interviewed 4 different builders in our area before ultimately choosing DBI for several reasons: First, DBI was able to provide the TimberTech composite boards and railings we preferred; second, they offered the most reasonable pricing for our project; and third, we were impressed with their level of expertise and decades of experience. DBI completed our project within budget and the quality of their workmanship is outstanding. If you are looking for an honest, skilled builder, we highly recommend Deck Builders, Inc!"

"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!"

"We are extremely pleased with our lovely patio which was built by Nelson almost a decade ago. From the start it was executed properly from a beautiful design, grading away from house, putting a sturdy, non-destructible base with layers of gravel and stone and then the beautiful papers. Nelson, a truly skilled mason and professional, was reliable, efficient and methodical in completing the project for us on time and within budget. The recent patio refurbishment refreshed the patio and made it look brand new again. I highly recommend AVEC."

The best tile for your in-ground pool depends on your style preferences and budget. If you're seeking an elegant look and don't mind a higher price tag, glass tiles might be ideal. Ceramic and porcelain tiles are popular choices among homeowners for a balance of affordability and durability. Consider what's most important to you to select the perfect tile for your pool.
Pool tile deep cleaning costs can vary, but it's a worthwhile investment to restore your tiles' appearance and longevity. Techniques like high-pressure glass bead blasting effectively remove buildup and polish the surface, enhancing aesthetics and durability. Regular deep cleaning keeps your pool looking great and protects your investment in the long run.
Aside from tile, you have several other pool finishing options like plaster and aggregate finishes. Plaster gives your pool a modern look and is cost-effective but may require more frequent maintenance. Aggregate finishes offer improved texture and durability, enhancing your pool's safety and visual appeal. Consider these alternatives to find the best fit for your needs.
The lifespan of your pool tiles can vary widely based on the type of tile, installation quality, and maintenance. Generally, pool tiles last between 10 and 20 years. However, when properly installed and maintained, durable options like ceramic and porcelain tiles can last up to 100 years. Regular care ensures your tiles remain in great condition for decades.
Retiling your pool is a perfect time to tackle other home improvement projects. Since you'll be draining the pool anyway, consider replacing the vinyl liner, repairing any structural cracks, or upgrading your pool heater. By addressing these tasks together, you can enhance both the functionality and appearance of your pool.
Proper pool maintenance significantly extends the life of your pool tiles. By consistently cleaning, balancing chemical levels, and ensuring good water circulation, you preserve the strength and color of your tiles and prevent degradation. Taking care of your pool means your tiles stay pristine, and your pool remains safe and beautiful for many years to come.
