Cedar Works

I highly recommend Cedar Works for your next deck project. We couldn't be happier with the outcome. The installation and results of the deck and cable rail surpassed our expectations. Pat and Mike, the father and son duo, showcased meticulous attention to every detail. Their exceptional craftsmanship, coupled with their genuine kindness throughout the entire process, solidified our confidence in choosing Cedar Deck for our project.

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 lists from Trex, Angi, and Mann's Lumber. I checked the overall ratings, and read a lot of the posted comments. From that I developed a list of six that I actually contacted. I settled on four that I invited to review the project and estimate the job. From there I chose Cedar Works and I couldn't be more impressed with the job they did in every way from start to finish. Robert, who met initially with me and developed the estimate was prompt, professional, and answered all of my questions. Once they began the work, I was amazed at how smoothly the different aspects of the job were perfectly orchestrated. Material drop off, refuse quickly picked up from the tear down of the old deck, including a separate pick up for the old glass inserts just happened without any reminders from me. Patrick and Michael, the two carpenters assigned to the job, were very efficient and their work on the deck and railings most importantly was first rate. I looked over the Trex deck and the custom cedar railings carefully and all are as close to perfect as I could have imagined. Jamie, the owner, checked in with me a couple of times as well. If you are doing a deck project I strongly suggest you give these guys a call. You won't be disappointed.

It was incredible. They were really good. The guy was so smart, they knew what they were doing and they were very professional. They were very knowledgeable.

The crew did a good job from beginning to end. My frame is sagging, and sometimes the water is leaking into the house under heavy rain. They took care of both. They know what they are doing and exceeded my expectation.

Great! They were professional, and the work was well done.

Jamie and his crew were wonderful to work with. He gave us a clear estimate of the work to be done. Since we live in a condo, we had association guidelines to comply with and Jamie was great in making suggestions to both meet those guidelines and give us the beautiful deck we envisioned. The professionalism of both Jamie and his workers was outstanding.

I'm super happy with our deck! I'm not sure if we got just lucky to have Chad (one of the crew staff who actually built decks) work on our deck, but the quality and craftsmanship he and his team put in is so precise, beyond our expectation - we are really impressed. I think his standards and "common sense" are so high that we did not have to tell him anything while the deck was being built. He did not waste even a second when he was working on our deck, no chat with his coworker, no chat on the phone, nothing - just work, work, work - focused on the deck all day. It was a pleasant surprise since we are very picky about quality, especially after we have gone through a terrible home builder of our home's for bunch of quality issues. Also truly appreciate Robert, who provided us great design proposals and were very very patient with our questions and modification requests. Jamie (owner) is an easy-going nice guy and did everything we asked for. He's pretty responsive whenever I needed to contact him. One more thing - I love the way their quotes are. They break down all items in the quote so it was so easy to know what was included and what was not and super clear about a price for each item. I have received quotes from other deck builders too but they did not show us break-down prices. Most of them even hesitated to answer to my questions about the price when I asked them. I think Cedar Works is very honest with customers. They did not hide anything from us in the quotes.I will recommend Cedar Works to anyone. All my neighbors said our deck was looking sooo nice:-)

Jamie came out to take measurements and he then emailed to me the quote a few days later. A lot of the other companies didn't even come out to see the deck, but based their estimates on my measurements. The workers did an excellent job and cleaned up very well afterward.

Great. Responsive and prompt. Finished as promised. After dealing with my builder, this was a refreshing change.

Right from the time we met Robert, we felt we are in good hands. He was knowledgeable, professional and very patient in answering all our questions. He provided multiple options and let us choose form those. He did not seem pushy, arrogant or someone who was in a rush. The quote was detailed and the deck design was to our liking. The deck was built in the timeline that Cedarworks said it would take them to build. The builders were professional, friendly and very patient. They also took time to explain their work and followed through on their words. Overall it was a very pleasant experience and we are happy that we have a new deck to use in summer!

Awesome. Shopped around because i talked with Cedar Works first and i had sticker shock. Would have ben a mistake to go elsewhere and that became clear as i vetted other contractors and the quality and extent of servce that i would have received for less cost.

After review of several other companies, we chose Cedar Works for the job. Jamie and their entire crew were very professional and extremely detailed with their work. Our deck turned out just as we had envisioned.

Reviewed 5 companies, Cedar Works had it all...quality, cost and speed. Jamie and the crew were very professional, courteous, and very detailed in their work. They cleaned up, even raking the grass before leaving. We could not be more pleased and the deck is beautiful...exactly what we had hoped.

Can you believe that?  Why would you ever want anyone else other than Cedar Works to design and build your deck?

It went great!  The entire process... from design,  quote and installation went very well.  I had contacted three deck builders - all rated very well on Angies.  Cedar Works came across as very professional, and seemed to know the most about the issues a low to the ground deck would create.  The price was in the middle of the three but it was the most complete.... it even included the liners for the planters (4 planters on the deck)  We contracted in winter and wanted it built in May.  They followed up and had all the ducks in a row.

As we got closer the owner Jamie made another recommendation that turned out to be great.  They were on time and I can't say enough about the craftsmanship of the lead deck builder.  Down to all the edges being sanded etc.  They finished within the week as promised and cleaned up wonderfully.

Would use them again in a heart beat.

From the tear out of our old deck, to the ahead of schedule building and finishing of our new deck we couldn't be more pleased.  Jamie's team is professional, clean, pleasant and polite. Our deck is beautiful and very well made, the time and effort that they put into their product shows a true professionalism and pride in their workmanship. I can't say enough good things about them! If you are having a new deck built you would be foolish to go with anyone else!!! Thank you so very much Jamie and guys

The crew showed up promptly at 9:00 am, tore out the old decking, installed the new deck (including rails and skirting), all in one day!  They managed to do all this while putting up with our lawn service, and the AT&T guy relocating our satellite dish.  Once the job was completed, the crew cleaned up the area very well.  My husband and I were extremely satisfied with their work.  Our new deck looks great, and we've had several comments from our neighbors how nice it is.  We would definitely recommend Cedar Works to our friends and family.

I had visited one of my friend house who had used this company for his deck project and recommended me this company for my project. After little bit research I called Jamie in December for quote , he responded me promptly came to look the area I was planning to built deck , gave me design and size of deck and emailed me quote. I compared quote and was reasonable ,went ahead and gave deposit $500 to start project in march. Early march got call from him to send survey and HOA approval for permit from city and scheduled work rite away. Called me few days before and told when crew will start work and when material will arrive. Pat and Michael came and started work without wasting any single minutes , waited for city inspector to approve the holes. After approval material arrived next day and they came back in morning and started on project , one thing I can say these two guys are really hard working , very courteous , professional and importantly love what they do (building deck )and cleaned work site after project completed. Deck got ready in five days as expected. Jamie the owner is really nice guy to work with. If you looking for  deck project contractor  ( go for trex material- which I got ) who is professional and courteous in job and really fair in price , look no further and call Jamie without any doubt . Everyone compares everything when comes to spend money but I can assure this much that  you will not regret if you go with this guy Jamie for your next deck project (very knowledgeable in what he does everyday - building deck ). Last thing cedar work is really great company to go for your Trex deck project, you will not be disappointed in my personal and experienced opinion .

Our entire experience with CedarWorks and Jamie was great.   We moved into the house early summer and our deck was falling apart.  We also wanted to add a sunroom.  I found his information from Angie's List and also one of my friends had mentioned Cedar Works.  We gave him a call and scheduled an appointment for an estimate and plan design.  He showed up on time and we discussed all of our needs and what we wanted.  He had a lot of great ideas that my husband and I had not even thought about.  He had a lot of pictures and example of decks and sunrooms that he has built which helped us out a lot!!  I like to see things rather than imagine how they are going to look.  After he came out and met with us, we got an estimate shortly after. His plan design and price were all great!
We decided to go with Cedar Works.  We had our deck and sunroom built in early November.  His crew showed up on time everyday and were very clean and professional.  We were very impressed with the fact that Jamie has his own clean up crew that comes to clean up the job periodically.  
For our sunroom we needed a ceiling fan and some lighting.  He scheduled the electrician to come out and take care of all that for us.  We really didn't need to do anything besides pick out our ceiling fan and lighting that we wanted.  
 Everything was hassle free and honestly very easy.  We are so happy that we choose Cedar Works.  We got a couple of other estimates and we felt the most comfortable with him, as far as the company, price and design.  We would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Cedar Works!!

Let me start by saying, we absolutely love our screen porch and are very glad that we made the decision to hire Cedarworks to build it.  They did a fabulous job on the construction and design and we couldn't be more pleased with the quality.  My only complaint would be with their scheduling process.  Understanding that it was mid summer and obviously their busiest season, delays were understandable. However, we felt that the communication could have been improved.  Our schedule was never consistent and it wasn't uncommon to have a crew one or two days one week and then not see them for seven days.  To be fair, there were times when we were waiting for inspections or delivery of materials but this certainly wasn't the case every time.  As a homeowner with kids at home, it would have been nice to know in advance when they were going to be working.  That being said, they were very accomodating and patient with any changes we needed to make and very professional while working.  We would definitely recommend them!

Very smooth from start to finish.
 
We have had several compliments on the deck since it was built in the fall and
highly recommend Cedarworks because of our individual experience with them.
Perhaps not the cheapest builder to work with, however we were impressed with the professionalism
of our salesperson Robert and Jamie (the owner) made us feel comfortable through the entire process.
The crew was clean and efficient and even put flowers in our newly constructed planter boxes!
We thought this was a nice touch. 
Job well done.

Jamie and his crew are true professionals and masters of their craft. Our hot tub was in dire need of a makeover and the end results are beautiful. The crew worked fast and efficient, and cleaned up the work site when it was finished. We now have a beautiful cedar enclosure complete with a tiki bar and shingled roof matching our home. No more pushing tons of heavy snow off the tub after a snowfall! They even added low voltage lighting and an option for me to mount a TV. Cedar Works has breathed new life into our spa area and we couldn't be happier!

I would post photos but it seems that Angie's List has removed that feature for some reason?
