"The deck seems to be generally well made. However, four of the perimeter boards were installed backwards so that the rounded edge that should be outward and visible is facing inward and the grooved inner edge that should be hidden is facing outward. When I first brought this concern to the builder’s attention, he tried to blame the problem on the supplier, saying that the supplier had sent me two different types of perimeter boards. The supplier, however, told me that there is only one type of perimeter board and that the builder had simply installed half of the boards backwards. When confronted with his lie, the builder changed his story and said that it was my responsibility to tell him that I wanted all the boards installed correctly. But of course I wanted them all installed correctly! It never crossed my mind that I had to tell him that I wanted him to do the job correctly! Also, the bottom step on the longer side of the deck was bowed in instead of running in a straight line. When the builder corrected that problem, it made the gap between the two planks that comprise that step uneven; the gap is narrow on one end of the step, rather wide nearing the other end of the step, and then becoming narrower again at the very end of the step. Obviously, something is wrong with the way in which that bottom step has been constructed. Eventually, the builder acknowledged that what is wrong is that he used a warped board in the framing of the deck but he has refused to replace that warped board. One additional concern is that one of the miter cuts at the corner of one of the steps has not been done correctly. The problem is not that the cut is not tight; rather the problem is that the builder made the cut in the wrong place so that the joint does not align with the other miter joints in the adjoining steps. When I brought each of these cosmetic issues to the builder’s attention, he insisted that he was not going to fix them unless I paid him to do so. I can see that I am going to have to pay someone to fix this builder’s sloppy finishing work; however, it most certainly won’t be him! Clearly, this builder is not concerned with producing a good-looking, nicely finished product. He is simply concerned with collecting his money. His business card states, “Failure is not an option,” but obviously, he does not regard sloppy finishing work as failure. I beg to differ; cosmetically, my deck is a failure. We chose this builder because he had been both Certified and given the Super Service Award by Angie's List; our experience with this builder, however, was anything but "super service." This builder will tell you anything he needs to tell you in order to get your business, but when it comes to backing up his talk with quality workmanship, it doesn’t happen. Find someone else who cares about quality."

"We are very happy with our deck results and would highly recommend C Maurer! They took on a refinishing job, requiring the team to strip, sand, replace a few boards, and hand paint our stubborn deck, which was not an easy task due to the solid stain that was previously on there. Sofina and team were persistent, professional, and she did a fantastic job! Thank you!!"

The lifespan of automatic pool covers varies by component. Cover fabrics require replacement every five to six years, costing between $2,000 and $5,000, depending on size and material quality. Mechanical elements like motors function for five to ten years before needing replacement at $450 plus labor. The tracking system and housing unit can last considerably longer with proper care. Scheduling professional maintenance one to three times yearly at $150 to $200 per service helps maximize the operational life of all components.
While automatic covers require a larger initial investment, they provide significant advantages that often justify the premium. The convenience of one-touch operation encourages more consistent use, maximizing energy savings that can reach 50% to 70% on heating costs. The enhanced safety features, reduced chemical requirements, and decreased water evaporation deliver ongoing operational savings. These benefits outweigh the higher upfront expense for households that use their pools frequently.
Most existing pools can be retrofitted with automatic covers, though rectangular shapes accommodate them more easily than custom configurations. On-deck track systems offer the most straightforward installation for existing pools since they require minimal structural modifications. Recessed track systems necessitate more substantial deck alterations but provide a cleaner appearance. A professional assessment is essential to determine which system best suits your pool's specific layout and structural characteristics.
Proper maintenance includes promptly removing standing water and debris to prevent excessive weight on the cover. Use manufacturer-approved cleaning solutions for periodic washing according to recommended guidelines. Keep tracks clear of dirt and obstructions that could cause alignment problems or motor strain. Professional servicing one to three times yearly allows technicians to inspect mechanical components, lubricate moving parts, and make necessary adjustments before minor issues develop into major problems requiring costly repairs.
