I spoke and negotiated with Mike for a fence extension and addition of a gate. The quote was thorough and detailed and I was able to decide how I wanted to proceed. He sent one employee to come do the work. He didn't speak much English so we communicated via a translational app. He did a beautiful job for us. Finished in 2 days.... moved dirt to flatten out new fence area, bought the materials, installed 4 new posts ( plus fence, built gate), removed old fence, and continued to work even when it started to rain. I felt MS construction did a great job for us. I'd definitely reach it to them again with future work needs!

Mike (Mikhail), the owner, was very responsive to all communications, typically responding within a few minutes. He provided an estimate to replace my old, structurally compromised front gate, immediately after I texted photos. And the estimate was competitive. His field crew -- Stas & Denis -- did an excellent job installing the new gate. Not only is it well built; it's a stunner. I appreciated their resourcefulness: when a couple of minor challenges emerged, they developed clever and efficient solutions that actually worked. Stas & Denis were attentive and incredibly respectful, addressing each of my concerns as the project progressed. It certainly didn't hurt that they were friendly and personable. In closing, I highly recommend MS Construction (and Thumbtack!) for homeowners considering wooden fence/gate replacement or repair.

Mikhail ("Mike") quoted our gate repair (sagging post and wall) and our exterior fence repair (missing boards, cracked boards) projects. His quote was very reasonable, and we wanted to get the work underway. Mike's crew comprised two very confident and capable guys (Stas and Denis), who arrived exactly on time on Day 1, down to the minute. We reviewed all details and walked the site, and the crew left and purchased the required materials for these 2 projects. The projects ultimately spanned 2 days, and both Stas and Denis went way up and beyond what I had expected. First, they completely dismantled the gate, posts, and fence sections; they replaced posts and secured with concrete, as it should have been done when the fence was installed way back in the day. Now, the gate is super solid, and the posts/gate are plumb and sturdy as can be. A+ on that project. Then, the guys moved to repairing the exterior fence. Instead of replacing a few bad/missing boards, they removed and reinstalled every single board/plank (about 55-60 or so). Stas and Denis impressed me, as they alternated new and existing boards in a repeating pattern, that it looked liked they installed an entirely new fence. If I stain the fence, no one would be able to tell. I expected functional repairs, but they gave us what looks a much better visually-appealing product, also made much more sound by installing wood screws and hardware replacing the prior cheap nails. Another A+ on that project. Both guys put in more time versus what I thought they would do, with the original attractive estimate still the project's price. Mike was very responsive throughout by sending me regular text updates. Stas and Denis explained exactly what they were doing throughout and asked for inputs when needed. Exceptional quality. Very, very hardworking guys: Stas and Denis are among the hardest working duos I've seen in my many projects over the years. I plan to call Mike again when the next project comes along.

Mike and Ramil at MS Construction were absolutely great in terms of understanding the way in which we would like the side gates. They were punctual and completed everything on time. Moreover, there were bits of work left that I found out after a week and Ramil came back promptly to finish without too much followup or hassles. These are heavy gates (Ipe wood), hence required a good amount of post fortification. Would definitely recommend them and will use their services in the future as well.

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.
