Very happy with MS construction and the deck they built us. Very quickly installed and their guys work so hard. The do not cut corners and make good choices to make a deck be functional and pretty too.

Mikhail was very detailed and meticulous and did a beautiful job on my deck. He went beyond the job request and power washed the furniture on the deck and patio. I'm not sure I like the new color of the deck but that's on me--I chose it.
I got a quote, which I accepted, and completed a full back deck replacement with MS Construction. Mikhail was polite, knowledgeable, and responsive. He showed up at the scheduled times for the walkthroughs. He communicated frequently with arrangements, and was always accommodating. Mikhail offered options, and I chose composite for longevity and ease of maintenance. The workmen who came and built the deck were polite and very skilled. They sought my input throughout the project, kept the worksite clean, and took care with my property. The final installation is gorgeous and really well made, with precise measurements and placement. Overall my experience with MS Construction was excellent, and I highly recommend their service.

Our new backyard deck and gazebo installation has just been completed. We are very pleased with the way that this project turned out. The results were transformational and we are so glad that we chose M&S Construction and Service.The professionalism and construction skills demonstrated by Mike and his crew met and exceeded our expectations. From my experience, M&S Construction and Service is very worthy of 5 stars. I can recommend them for any deck work with confidence.Randy L.San Jose, CA
FAQs
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First I try to understand what the customer wants. After that, I propose the optimal solution and technology and say the cost and terms of work. If the customer is satisfied with this, we put the work in the work schedule.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have an engineering degree with honors. I even studied in graduate school, but instead of defending my PhD thesis, I went into business.
