Simpson Strong-Tie Partners With Celebrity Contractor For Deck Safety Campaign

Pleasanton, Calif. – Simpson Strong-Tie is partnering with Mike Holmes, professional contractor and host and creator of the TV series Holmes on Holmes, on his deck safety campaign this spring. The campaign goal is to give homeowners information and resources to help them make sure their decks are safe.Simpson Strong-Tie

It is estimated that millions of decks in the United States and Canada are beyond their useful life and may be unsafe. Homeowners should inspect their decks ever year to make sure all of the critical connections are strong. A key message of the campaign is that deck collapses are preventable. Using the proper structural connectors and screws as well as regular maintenance are key to a safe, strong deck.

“We are excited to be partnering with Mike Holmes on this campaign,” said Kristin Lincoln, senior vice president of Global Marketing. “Mike’s make it right® approach aligns well with our company value of helping our customers build safer, stronger homes and decks. By giving deck owners more resources about how they can make their decks safe, we hope to see fewer news stories about deck collapses.”
