"Gary and his team did a great job replacing the long stairway and steps to my rooftop deck. Everything from the estimate through completion of the project was professionally handled. The end result looks great. Highly recommend them."

"I have worked with S&S on multiple projects for over a year, I am a Community Association Manager and manage 14 communities, including mid-rise condo buildings, townhomes, and single-family communities. I rely on having highly reliable, multi-disciplined contractors. S&S is, without a doubt, the best I have ever worked with in over 15 years of property management. They have responded to flooded condominiums that affect multiple units and common areas, to severely damaged roofs (both in townhomes and mid-rise buildings), to simple plumbing, electrical, and ceiling/drywall repairs. They expertly install cabinetry, flooring, window - whatever you need. They even fix squeaky doors that nobody else can. They have pressure-washed and re-caulked 5-story buildings, lifted sinking sidewalks. I could go on and on. They have their mitigation certification for water. mold and fire, they can do both the mitigation and rebuild. They have all of the necessary drying equipment, and have a 24-hour-a-day, ready-to-go trailer, so they can respond to disaster calls more quickly than any larger mitigation company I have worked with. They are also expert users of Xatimate, the software required by insurance companies for claims. I have used their mitigation and rebuild services more than a dozen times in the past year. I should also mention that they have an extremely capable, full-time crew, so the work gets done quickly. Whether you need a new roof, a porch, a new kitchen or bathroom, or smaller projects - S&S should always be your first call!"

"Mr. Thompson was very accommodating. He ended up having to turn on my exterior water in my basement without complaint! He also did a very good job on my many windows as well as cleaning all my screens. He was here about 5 hours. Very reasonable in my opinion! Would definitely recommend."

Deck Cleaning questions, answered by experts

There are several methods for attaching stair stringers to a deck. The best way is to bolt the stringers to the deck joists using three carriage bolts in a triangular pattern. This method offers the sturdiest fit for stairs that won’t budge. Alternatively, attach the stringers to the deck rims using lag bolts or to the posts using adjustable slope hangers.

The best direction for a gate to swing depends on its location and purpose, but swinging inward is the general rule. An inward swing is often considered safer, prevents the gate from opening into public spaces like a sidewalk, and may be required by local building codes.

There are exceptions and specific considerations. If your property is on a slope, an inward swing might not be possible. For a deck gate, it's safest to have it swing away from any steps. In a backyard, the direction can be a matter of preference, though an inward swing can be helpful when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

Regardless of direction, ensure the gate can open fully without hitting any objects or blocking spaces. While an inward swing is standard, a gate that can swing both in and out offers the most flexibility if your setup allows for it.

The problems with composite decking include a high rate of expansion and contraction from temperature swings. This characteristic can cause boards to split, delaminate, or peel. In addition, significant movement can cause shrinking, warping, twisting, and bending. For this reason, you should minimize moisture and ensure proper airflow below your deck.

PVC decking might be long-lasting, but this synthetic material lacks​​ the natural aesthetic or sustainability of wood decking. If you want to match your decking to your new garden furniture or just freshen up the faded surface, it’s not usually possible to paint PVC decking. When comparing PVC to composite decking, PVC is pricier and more prone to warping in hot regions.

The best and fastest way to remove paint from a deck often involves combining a chemical stripper with a pressure washer. Gel-based paint strippers are highly recommended because their thick consistency makes them less messy and easier to apply than liquid strippers. After applying the stripper to loosen the paint, you can use a pressure washer to efficiently wash away the residue. When using a pressure washer for this task, it's important to use a low pressure (under 1000 PSI) to avoid forcing too much moisture into the wood, which could lead to mildew or rot.
