S&S Home Improvements

The decks attached to our hillside home had had little or no upgrading and repair since they were built nearly 40 years ago. A large stairway from one level to another was in real disrepair. Shawn's was the middle of three bids we got from local construction firms in the Tulsa, Ok. area. One bid was substantially lower, but I did not get from him the feeling for knowledge, experience, and integrity I got as Shawn and I surveyed and discussed the project. My wife and I agree that that confidence was fully justified, as the project really could not have been done better. Shawn also works as a subcontractor with Golden Hammer Construction which has an excellent reputation and good reviews on this web site. Shawn started promptly after the bid was accepted, agreed to proceed in several steps, with each subproject billed separately and paid only when completed. Materials were billed at his cost, and labor charges were very reasonable. His efficiency and workmanship, coming from many years' experience, were remarkable. He did the vast majority of the work himself, with helpers, mainly in the demolition steps, who were very capable family members. Shawn suggested a couple of things I had not thought of which added much to the stability and safety of the completed deck. He also suggested a number of cost-cutting measures which I would not have come up with. In summary, we have never had a major project done so well, so promptly, at such a fair price, and all by a truly nice person.
