"The work was good, and clean-up was fine. Bad (rainy) weather hampered the start of the project - not their fault. The crew was 2 brothers that always started later in the morning (because "they were coming from up by St. Cloud down to Mpls"). Overall, the finished project is great. Just small nits on communication."

Dupont Decks is a family-owned business that was founded by Justin Dupont in January 2000. Justin worked for many years as a crew foreman for other construction and remodeling companies and noticed that most of the companies lacked in the area of communication and customer service. Being a homeowner himself, he knew that customer service and communication were two of the most important qualities needed in running a successful remodeling business. And so Dupont Decks was created. We take great pride not only in our excellent craftsmanship, unique custom building and design process and high quality materials, but also in the fact that we treat our customers just like we would want to be treated if we were doing a deck or porch project on our own home. We know that our customers are the most important part of our business. If you are considering doing a deck or porch project on your home, we invite you to call our office today for a free estimate and we thank you for considering us for your home improvement project. We are happy to offer Senior Citizens (age 65+) and Military Service Members a 5% discount on services with a max cap of $500 on this discount.
"Highly recommend Dupont Decks!! They just completed tearing out my old deck and replacing it with a new design. Family owned and operated they are very responsive, detail oriented, and overall awesome to work with. Brooke advocated for us with the City when they wanted something ridiculously changed that would only add costs - and she won! Super honest, hard workers, fair pricing, great work. Showed up exactly when they said they would, completed the work in less time than quoted, and no Change Orders. If you are looking for a great deck company that's small enough to care but big enough to do a great job, call Dupont!"

"The entire process was a fiasco. Mike and his team built our deck without checking the ledger board or apparently using a level. Our deck started to sag in the middle and we called his team out to look at it. They did a quick fix which did not resolve the issue. We called Mike and had a brief discussion, and he told us, "I don't know what to tell you". He then hung up on us. We eventually got him to come back out. He had an attitude the entire time. His crew admitted to not checking the ledger board. Our deck is lower on one end and has several areas of buckling. Mike had nothing but excuses. One of his team members offered a solution. They worked on it and left without asking for feedback. Mike never followed up. The deck is still out of whack and we are not satisfied. They also don't use hidden fasteners so there are holes in our no maintenance decking. Mike was completely rude and unprofessional. They built our deck wrong and he made us, the customer, feel like the bad people. His crew also took the dirt from the footings and threw it under our arborvitae bushes. I had to dig it all out by hand. There are a lot of deck builders. Do you research. I wish we had."

Start by balancing style, budget, and the statement you want to make. The “best” tile is the one that looks great, lasts, and fits your price point. If funds are tight, consider splurging on a small accent band in a premium material and using economical options elsewhere. Ceramic and porcelain offer the best mix of durability and cost, while glass delivers a high-end sparkle—just expect to pay more for the wow factor.
Your pool can be finished with materials other than tile to achieve a fresh look. Alternative finishes such as plaster and aggregate offer distinct benefits: plaster provides a modern, cost-effective finish that may require more frequent upkeep, while aggregate finishes deliver superior texture, durability, and enhanced safety. These options allow you to choose a look that best complements your pool design and lifestyle.
Tile life span comes down to material, installation quality, and how well you keep up with maintenance. Most pool tiles hold up for 10 to 20 years, but top-tier ceramic or porcelain can stick around for decades—sometimes close to 100 years—if you stay on top of cleaning, water chemistry, and routine upkeep. This regular care keeps colors vibrant and prevents costly repairs.
Retiling your pool opens the opportunity to improve other related areas of your outdoor space. When you re-tile, you can simultaneously address projects such as replacing the vinyl liner, repairing structural cracks, or upgrading your pool heater. Coordinating these improvements not only streamlines the renovation process but also enhances the pool’s overall functionality and appearance, adding lasting value to your home.
Maintaining your pool properly is essential to keeping your tiles in excellent condition. Your pool tiles remain durable and visually appealing when regular cleaning, balanced chemicals, and effective water circulation are maintained. In addition, weekly cleaning, prompt removal of deposits, and periodic resealing of grout not only preserve tile strength and color but also safeguard the overall pool safety for you and your guests.
