"We just needed wooden gates put in next to the house to close off our backyard which already had three walls of fences installed. The gates look good but are heavy suckers and very sturdy, maybe a little overkill, definitely more heavy duty than we were expecting, but they also look like they will hold up for a very long time and we don’t worry about their durability. Our two main complaints would be that the gates are cut a little close to the ground so we scrap dirt in a few spots and you can see where they removed dirt to get it to swing open and that the nail/screws were not finished so they poke out into the backyard and we will have to find a way to prevent our young children from getting hurt on the sharp points. We loved the customer service and they were very communicative about weather restrictions and flexibility with scheduling giving very realistic expectations and letting us know why certain things got delayed. They did a okay job with social distancing during the pandemic."

"I had MCM Geneva metal cabinets. No one would even attempt to install them. S&S came out, put in a bid and were hired. They installed the cabinets even removing (and reinstalling) some of the flooring. I would definitely hire again. Austin and Summer were great."

Deck Repair questions, answered by experts

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.

It’s important to make sure the wood on a new deck is properly seasoned. Seasoning a deck is simple: Once you build it (or have a pro do so), just leave it alone so it can acclimate to the environment. If you don’t give the deck proper seasoning time before staining, the stain can lock in any lingering moisture and cause mold, rot, and other moisture issues down the road. Give the wood at least four to eight weeks to season before you stain.

Yes, it is possible to add an under-deck drainage system to an existing deck by retrofitting it to the structure. This process may require some prep work. For example, many drainage systems are installed on top of the deck joists, which would require you to remove the decking boards and railings first. To avoid this, you could opt for a below-the-joist drainage system. For best results and to ensure proper installation, it is recommended to consult a professional. A pro can inspect your deck, make any necessary repairs, and then install the drainage system correctly.

Yes, designing builds to fit space constraints and meet functional needs.

Cutting the boards directly is one of the fastest ways to remove deck boards with hidden fasteners. Mark two parallel lines that are one-third of the total measurement on both ends and cut out the centerpiece. Then, remove the end of the board that doesn’t have a fastener. Finally, pry open the fastened side and pull it up to pop out the screw or access the fastener. This also allows you to salvage portions of boards for other projects.
