"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

No. In most cases, it’s not colder or freezing temperatures that affect decking materials but the amount of moisture that seeps into the materials as a result. For example, wood decking material is more likely to suffer from rot or decay when exposed to excess moisture from snow or ice. An extreme change in temperature can cause wood to expand or contract, but only if it’s not properly treated beforehand.

The proper height for a stair riser or deck step is between four and seven inches, with seven inches often considered the most comfortable. Building your stairs to this height ensures a strain-free step position and minimizes the risk of trip and fall injuries. For optimal safety and comfort, especially on deck stairs, a rise of around seven inches should be paired with a tread depth (or run) of at least 10 to 12 inches. While it is possible to design stairs with risers up to 12 inches, this height can be challenging for children, pets, or individuals with mobility issues. Always check with your local building codes, as they may mandate specific dimensions that differ from these general recommendations.

DIY staining or painting is manageable with proper preparation, including safety measures, necessary tools, and adherence to safe weather conditions for application.

Most building codes require that railing spindles (also known as balusters) on decks or stairs be spaced no more than four inches apart. This safety standard is often called the '4-inch sphere rule,' which means a sphere with a 4-inch diameter should not be able to pass through the opening between balusters. This rule is in place to prevent small children and pets from slipping through the railing. For the same reason, the space between the bottom rail and the deck or floor surface should also be no more than four inches. As a general guideline, professionals often install three balusters per foot of railing. However, since specific requirements can vary by location, it is essential to check your local building codes to ensure compliance before starting your project.

Your deck may look or feel fuzzy after pressure washing because the high-pressure spray tears some wood fibers as it removes the outer layer of dead and discolored wood. This fuzzy effect is a normal part of the pressure-washing process and will go away on its own in a few weeks. You can opt to spot-sand your deck if you’d like to remove it more quickly.
