"David and his team exceeded expectations. The new deck is better quality than the original one and included rails around perimeter and pool area. They even put cement under the stairs that was missing from original deck. They came in on budget and on time. Very friendly, responsive and easy to work with. They cleaned up all construction materials and took away the old deck. I will ask them for other projects in the future."

Thank you for visiting Archadeck of Central Maine, the leading outdoor living space builder in the Bangor, Augusta, and Waterville areas. We're known for creating additions that seamlessly work into the existing design of your property, building new structures that looks as if they were always part of our clients' homes. We're proud to say we don't offer a catalog full of ready-made decks, patios, pergolas, outdoor kitchens, and more, nor do we charge by the square foot. Every design is one-of-a-kind and custom made for our clients.
"I highly recommend Archadeck of Central Maine. The carpenter, Garret, except for a few hours on the first carpentry day and the entire last day, worked on this by himself. He did a phenomenal job! On the last day he was joined by Preston and he did a great job as well. This project had some unique elements. First, was the slope of the ground. Second, was the design. The lower deck was designed to hold a hot tub (not shown here) to be accessed from the upper deck in the area between the two railings. One whole side of the upper deck remained without a railing as I wanted deck access to be at any point along the footpath. It'll be my task to backfill the gap between the deck surface and the footpath. Total number of days worked on this project was six (6). TJ and Jessi are easy to work with and the cost was very reasonable. We are THRILLED with the results!!"

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.
