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.
"Dupont Decks did an awesome job with tear off and re-decking onto our existing frame. Brandon and Jordan (installers) were polite, personable and professional throughout the project, and did an exceptional job with the install, very pleased with how the deck looks now!! However what sold me on Dupont in the first place was the excellent communication with front office. From first mtg with Justin for the estimate (very knowledgeable and generous with advice/suggestions), though contract negotiation with Brooke (they even provided a project design drawing) and project coordination with Lindsey, every interaction was professional and friendly… I never felt I was a bother when I called with questions, was always greeted with a smile in their voice. I was confident when I signed the contract that my job was going start and be completed on time and to my satisfaction and without unexpected cost… and it was. Would recommend Dupont to family and friends… they are that good!!"

"We wanted to be sure let others know how pleased we are with Gunner Insulation and their staff for the work they did on updating our attic insulation in November. Last year we had ice dam problems and water damage. We wanted to address this prior to snows this year. We were in touch with 4 insulation companies for estimates at the end of September. Bottom line Gunner was the best: While Dain wasn't able to come to give us an estimate for a few weeks, his house review was thorough. He pointed out gutter problems we should address (nothing Gunner does - but we appreciate his expertise and followed-up); As well, Dain is very experienced in updating 1.5 story houses in Mpls and he had suggestions for our misc. hour variations; While we knew about Center Point rebate offers, Gunner was sure to mention this before we did (other vendor's did not do this); Gunner's schedule was busy but was lots more flexible that other vendors that were booked until January or later; Gunner's estimate was the most reasonable. The insulation update has been installed and has been successfully tested. The team that worked on our attic were professional and ever so kind and informative as misc. steps were worked on. As well, they were attentive to cover areas they worked on in addition to great clean-up after the work was completed. Throughout our update, Nicole has been great to work with as activities were scheduled and when we had questions. Go with Gunner Insulation!"

Minnesota's Window and Siding Installers since 1981. Free Estimates, No pressure sales, and Great Savings on Vinyl Windows, Siding, and Doors. Our other specialties include building custom homes, additions, four season porches, outdoor kitchens, gymnasiums. You dream it we have the skill and experience to build it. Additional email - wayne@sandauinc.com.
"Sandau Construction recently completed a window replacement project at my home. They were one of five contractors that I had out to evaluate my project and bid the job. The sales presentation was low pressure, comfortable and offered adequate time for question and answer. The company’s subsequent follow-up to the various questions and issues that I had was prompt, direct and informative. They never tried to “sell” me anything and focused solely on my desires and priorities. Their overall project pricing was competitive overall, versus the other contractors who visited. Pricing was clear and upfront and included no promotional games or gimmicks. With any major home improvement, one doesn’t want to overpay just to ensure quality. The Sandau Price to Quality dynamic was right where it needed to be. Given the high home improvement demand that has been experienced during the pandemic, along with supply chain issues, there was a very lengthy delay from the project down payment to the actual commencement of the job. Once underway, the project installation proceeded quickly. Installers were skilled, agreeable and proceeded in an efficient manner. The final results exceeded expectations. As window replacement is a major investment and expense for any homeowner, getting that all important comfort level from the contractor you’ve chosen is critical. I felt good with my initial selection and was also rewarded at the project’s conclusion. I highly recommend the company to anyone who is interested in a high quality experience in sales, service and product offering. Thanks both to Graham in Sales and to Stephen my Project Manager. Well done."

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.
