We couldn’t be happier with the deck Jamie and his team built for us. Their precision and attention to detail were excellent, and they did a great job maximizing our space while incorporating our ideas and input. The finished deck is beautiful, functional, and feels thoughtfully designed for our home.

Cedar works deck builders has been an outstanding company to work with through every step of the deck replacement process. We got quotes from 8 different deck builders to demo and rebuild our old rotting deck, using Timbertech Azek Harvest PVC boards (in Kona). Cedar Works blew the competition out of the water for our project. Jamie was communicative and great to work with. There are always small snafus in any large project like this, but I really feel like we were taken care of. The small crew was fantastic, friendly, and very skilled. And the final results? Just gorgeous. A beautiful, well-executed deck in every sense!

Thank you so much for the kind words! It was a pleasure working with you, and we’re thrilled you love the new deck. The Kona TimberTech turned out beautiful! We really appreciate your trust in Cedar Works and hope you enjoy the deck for many years to come!

Jamie and his team are amazing! We built our new deck a few years ago and recently noticed a few minor issues- Jamie quickly had someone come out and deal with it, and it looks great!! They did a fantastic job and are extremely professional. What a great company.

The whole experience was very positive. We had an upper deck installed from Cedar Works last year and then had our lower deck replaced early summer. The decks are beautiful and enhance the beauty of our space. The crew was professional and completed the deck quickly. I would highly recommend this company for any project!

Cedar Works did a fantastic job on our Trex deck. They removed the old wooden one, had to deal with lots of tree roots and we are so pleased with the end result. We appreciate the fact that the yard around the deck looks like they were never there. We highly recommend them!

Thank you for your recommendation! We're so glad you're happy with your new Trex deck and appreciate your kind words about our team's work and cleanup. Enjoy your beautiful outdoor space!

Working with Cedar Works and Jamie was great. They were extremely transparent with pricing, lead times, and expectations. I cannot be happier with our front porch and the quality their team put in. Their pricing was very competitive. I would recommend them to anyone.
