“MS Construction & Services did an excellent job replacing our rotten deck with a new one, as well as completing some other wood related small projects around the yard. Mikhail was very responsive and the crew did outstanding work. I picked MS Construction based on their competitive pricing and their good reviews and I am very pleased that I did. Their carpenter has an excellent eye for detail and design, and the deck we have now is a significant upgrade, both in terms of materials and the design layout. Work was done to a high standard and everything fully cleared up at the end. I will happily use MS Construction again for future work. I highly recommend them.”
Portola Valley projects come to us for the usual reasons: a deck that has outlived its framing, a slope nobody wants to touch, or a house that finally deserves the outdoor room it never had.
The proposal you get after the visit is the price. It moves only with changes you approve in writing, or with conditions we genuinely could not see until the old deck came off.
The reviews below are from homeowners across the Peninsula, South Bay and Santa Cruz County — real projects, verifiable on the platforms they were left on.
What homeowners across our service area say
“MS Construction did a great job for our family. There are 2 major projects: rebuilding the deck, and building a deck-like cover over a big hole in the paver above the septic tank. For rebuilding the deck, Mike talked to us with tons of details — unlike other deck builders who recommend the expensive materials, Mike would analyze the correct materials to use. They sanded the deck very carefully, painted it, and it's the exact color we want. For the cover, they built it exactly the size of the hole, at the same level of the pavers, and added 2 doors so we can access the septic tank system. In future if we need deck work we'll hire them again.”
“We recently had the opportunity to meet with this contractor for a bid on our deck project, and even though we ultimately decided to move forward with another company, I still wanted to acknowledge the very positive experience we had. They were extremely professional, responsive, and prompt in all communications. It was clear they are very knowledgeable in their field and have a strong understanding of deck construction, materials, and best practices. They also came across as honest, reliable, and straightforward — qualities that are not always easy to find.”
“MS Construction and Services delivered an exceptional job on our hardwood deck and pergola complete rebuild! Their impeccable workmanship, without any cutting corners, resulted in absolutely beautiful results. Everything was done exactly as promised. The CEO, Mike S., was incredibly patient, polite, and attentive to every detail. A special shoutout to their talented builder — a rare gem of a contractor; his work ethic is incredible, and he was able to resolve complex technical issues in record time. I cannot recommend MS Construction highly enough.”
