Pool Decks & Patios
The signature work. Paver pool surrounds, full backyard patios, and clean transitions into steps, walls, and planting beds — outdoor spaces meant to be lived in, not just looked at.
Bergen County NJ · Westchester NY · Greenwich CT
Outdoor in season, interior all winter. Pool decks, patios, outdoor kitchens, and stonework when the weather is good. Bathroom and kitchen remodels, tile, and interior work when it turns cold. Every project built hands-on by Doni Tavares, over 30 years across the tri-state area.
Every photo on this site is real work by Tavares Construction Inc — no stock photos, no staging. This is what comes out of Doni's hands.
The signature work. Paver pool surrounds, full backyard patios, and clean transitions into steps, walls, and planting beds — outdoor spaces meant to be lived in, not just looked at.
Stone-veneer islands, granite counters, built-in grills and refrigeration — complete outdoor kitchens built from the footings up, matched to your patio and your house.
Curved, tiered, engineered to hold. Segmental block and natural stone walls with integrated steps and planting terraces that turn a slope into usable, beautiful ground.
Front steps, stoops, and walkways in bluestone and natural stone — the first thing guests see, set level and square, finished with clean lines.
Interior and exterior fireplace surrounds in stacked stone with bluestone hearths and mantels — floor-to-ceiling centerpieces, fitted stone by stone.
Complete front-yard transformations: walkways, walls, steps, driveway borders and aprons, planting beds — designed and built as one piece.
When the weather turns, the work moves inside
Northeast winters are hard on outdoor masonry, so Doni keeps building through the cold months indoors. The same hands that set your stone do your bathroom, your kitchen, and the interior work that makes a house feel finished. One craftsman, all year.
Full bathroom builds and gut renovations: custom tile showers, vanities, flooring, and natural stone. Tight, square, and waterproofed right the first time.
Cabinets, countertops, tile backsplashes, and flooring. Doni handles the build and the finish so your kitchen comes together as one clean job, not a string of subs.
Floors, backsplashes, fireplace surrounds, and accent walls. Decades of masonry means the tile and stone go in level, even, and built to hold up.
Trim, repairs, and the punch-list details that turn a remodel into a finished room. If it needs doing inside, ask. Doni would rather tell you straight than oversell it.

You deal directly with the craftsman. Doni walks your property with you, tells you honestly what will work, and then he's the one on site building it. No sales team, no hand-offs, no surprises — just the person whose name is on the work.
Doni takes the masonry and hardscape scope off your plate — residential and commercial. He's worked on everything from high-end homes to malls and schools: clean, on schedule, no hand-holding. Call him for your next stone, paver, or wall sub.
