We have used SSEK twice. We have been extremely pleased both times. We are home owners/builders who design and rehab older homes. We believe that code is the minimum standard, NOT the goal. We utilize the following order of planning when building. Structure, Function, Form. Structure=will it hold up over time. Function=will it does the job its designed to do. Form=will it look good doing its job. Robert Smith of SSEK has helped us meet and exceed these goals. He helped us from beginning (tear out) through the end (finished surfaces). Mr. Smith is an extremely professional, reality based and a cost-effective builder. Bob has extensive knowledge of local codes, building materials, and the practical knowledge to get things done. We endorse SSEK/Mr. Robert Smith without reservation. We can be reached personally by contacting SSEK. He will know exactly who wrote this reference if you mention its content. Thank You, SS/AS
