Q: What are the disadvantages of a floating deck?

• <div><p>Floating decks are a cost-effective and versatile option, but they come with some compromises. Since they sit on smaller footings instead of being deeply anchored, they&rsquo;re more likely to shift over time, especially in areas with heavy rainfall or freeze-thaw conditions. Their low-to-the-ground design makes them more susceptible to moisture buildup and potential water damage.</p></div>

Q: Do I need to sand an old deck before staining?

• <div><p>In most cases, sanding an old deck before staining it is necessary to achieve a decent finish. If your old deck has a relatively new stain finish on it and you're only doing touch-ups, you can generally skip the sanding part. However, if your goal is to make the deck look and function better, sanding first is a must. </p></div>

Q: Why does my deck pop and not my neighbor’s?

• <div><p>Your deck may pop, and your neighbor&rsquo;s deck may not for a number of reasons. Whether or not a deck pops will depend on how it was made, the conditions it&rsquo;s exposed to, and the materials. Improper spacing is a common reason for increased pressure between deck boards. Moisture penetration is another. </p></div>

Q: What’s the difference between pressure-treated decking and other decking types?

• <div><p>Pressure-treated wood contains preservatives that give the material internal protection from rot and pests. Untreated lumber won&rsquo;t last more than a few years unless you choose a more expensive wood, like cedar, that naturally stands up well to moisture. Composite decking can outlast wood but is more expensive and doesn&rsquo;t look as natural. Keep in mind that you&rsquo;ll need to seal any exterior wood product to protect it from the elements and other forms of external damage.</p></div>

Q: Can I build a deck over my HVAC unit?

• <div><p>Yes, you can build a deck over your outdoor HVAC unit, but you need to leave at least 5 feet of vertical clearance above the unit. If you don&rsquo;t want your deck to be that high off the ground, you could <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-build-floating-deck.htm">build a floating deck</a> in another part of your yard&mdash;again, as long as you leave at least 4 feet of horizontal space between the deck and your AC unit.</p></div>

"
When fence was built, I asked for a rot board on the bottom rail (1x6), the extra price of the wood was included in the bid...They forgot the rot board and pickets go all the way to ground, we spoke of a DISCOUNT on the next job or rebate...never happened..

Owner of company took measurements for new sliding glass door...the measurements were wrong...Home DEPOT was kind enough NOT to charge me a restock fee.

When the new door came in weeks later, they didn't return our calls. The rest of the work was complete and they were paid.

It was only a couple hundred bucks...we gave up...

I was going to call them when the door sliding glass door arrived for install...my wife said NO...

We hired someone else rather than give MCS another dime...

No...I would not utilize this company for anything other than PAINT and ROOF...

"I have used Sunshine in the past which is the reason I used them for this job. Eddie and his crew are very professional and friendly.They were always on time and completed the job on time. Never left a mess and always used care not to damage any walls, floors or furniture. I gave Eddie the challenge of installing a "custom" floor in the bathroom. He did an excellent job installing the mosaic tile which took a lot of time and patience. Sunshine is now my "go to" contractor whenever I nee any repairs or remodeling. I highly recommend Eddie for any project. His prices are affordable and his work is guranteed

"Ron Thompson aka T-Bone is contractor/framer that I definitely would recommend. He showed up early and on time and hit the ground running. Our project was very intensive which included new construction as well as a total remodel which was melded seamlessly. His work was noticed by several other contractors who quickly inquired who did the work and then praised the work done here. Not only did T-Bone manage his crew well he was a very pleasant/helpful person to have around and his follow-up was great and appreciated. I would highly recommend him for any project.

"Michael and his team are wonderful! Simply put, without them our 2 bed/1 bath house would not have the 1 bath! They came into a completely demolished bathroom and Michael and Zak put that bathroom back together 1 piece at a time, and because we were down to NO bathroom the guys made us an immediate priority! They were LIFE SAVERS, and they are both extremely talented and amazing at what they do! The guys also came and saved the day again by fixing another entities initially poorly built carport, it is now finally how we imagined it. We highly recommend Michael and his team to anyone and everyone in the areas that they service, that need a contractor you can trust to get the job done, within the bid, and on time if not earlier!! Shout out to other team members that helped some on the projects: Will and Dakota thanks for your help as well!!"
