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…

Have used a lot of companies for home projects over the years, but have found that Cedar Works has out matched all of them, both in material and workmanship. From the outset, their sales staff Robert was professional, courteous and prompt. The project staff of Jason and his crew were exceptional in their expertise,…

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.

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!!

Very happy with the results. They resurfaced our deck with Trex and did a great job and they were very neat. Only issue, I wish they had a little better communication with us.

Outstanding company to work with. The carpenters where very meticulous during the construction. We are very happy with the results. Our neighbors have commented to us on the sleek, elegant look of the new deck. We highly recommend Cedar Works for your decking needs.

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
