Pretty cool to see two Hooksett deck companies recognized in the latest issue of Deck Specialist!
Deck Building 101 recently announced the winners of its annual deck building competition, and both Custom Decks by Shatmire and Hashtag Decks were among this year’s winners.
Jeff and Melissa Shattuck of Custom Decks by Shatmire were recognized with the Deck Tech Award, while Hashtag Decks received the Solo Builder Award and took 2nd Place for Design Excellence.
The Solo Builder recognition was actually a surprise — it wasn’t a category I entered — and while I’m incredibly proud to have my name attached to it, “solo” certainly doesn’t mean these projects happen without help. I’m fortunate to have some great people who work alongside me and help bring these projects together.
More than anything, it’s just really cool to see two small deck companies from Hooksett, NH represented alongside some incredibly talented builders from around the country.
Congratulations to Jeff and Melissa, and a big thank you to everyone who supports our local businesses. Pretty awesome showing for Hooksett!
