Received many bids to replace our old wooden deck with composite deck. Most bids with reasonable close. Selected Cedar Works because they worked with me. Originally we were going to get an 8ft x 17. All the other companies that bid on the 17" deck want much more money for a 10 Ft deck. We were allowed in our Condo…

Cedar Works is a great company if you are in the market for a new deck. Their whole team is very professional and do a great job from start to finish. We are so happy with our new Trex deck and definitely recommend this company. Thank you Cedar Works.

My 20+ year old wood deck needed replacement. I decided to go with a Trex deck but I also needed replacement of cedar stairway railings from my sun porch down to ground level. I'm an experienced homeowner and know the importance of picking the right contractor. I researched deck companies thoroughly starting with…

We got an estimate from Cedar Works because of their reviews. And they're going to get 5 more stars from us! On time and professional for the estimate. Competitively priced. Not much design work as we were replacing an old deck but their few suggestions were relevant and spot on. Very easy to reach and communicate…

Cedar Works was great to work with. Jamie designed a deck that is perfect for our space. He is easy to work with and very responsive to any questions or concerns. The team that built my deck was professional, hardworking and did a great job. One of the best companies that I have had the pleasure to work with!!

Jamie was very responsive to any questions I had. At the completion of the project I had one concern I contacted Jamie and he took care of it the next day. My new trex dex looks fantastic and could not be happier with Ceader Works. Will 100% recommend

We’re in the process of having CedarWorks install a second deck and gazebo at our home. Even though the work isn’t done yet, the same quality build is in process and we know Jamie and his team will deliver an outstanding build!
