Ed and his helper Alex did amazing job and were very timely about building my deck and porch. He was cheaper then other quotes started in two days of signing contract and finished in the time he quoted. Ed did have a couple mishaps happen and feel bad that he dented his truck bringing the materials. I would highly recommend him for your construction needs.. still can’t believe he in his 80’s for he moves and talks like that of a forty year old man. Did not slow him down at all. We will truely enjoy our new deck and think of Ed and his helper Alex every time I am using my deck to bbq and entertain. It changed the whole look of our place and made it way better. If you want quality and professionalism and some one honest call Ed Gause Construction.

From start to finish, Ed and his team did a great job replacing our deck. He is the consummate profession and very easy to work with. We received multiple bids and we appreciated his straight forward approach, pricing and availability to start the job right away. Ed was an absolute professional and I highly recommend him for any deck work based on the quality of job he did on our deck.

Ed did a fantastic job replacing the deck railing that was installed poorly by previous owners and was unsafe. His communication was great and his work is beautiful. He was a joy to have around and has great jokes!

Beautiful detailed work, accurate fixed costs -and a free side order of humor! Ed Gause, Lake Oswego, OR delivers composite decks that are both beautiful, well crafted, and on budget. What more do you want in a deck person? Everything I wanted was implemented with attention to detail. I received a fixed cost bid that included all foreseeable materials and labor. But be prepared for the cost of materials. Ed normally does smaller projects but after careful consideration Ed decided to take on my large project. Our main patio, along with the fence running the entire length of my dog run is a monster! It is an expansive two level deck with a full set of stairs leading up to a gazebo on the top level. See photos. It was also was in need of some structural repairs as well. In our opinion, its one of the best-looking patio we've seen. Next was the small deck off of our master bedroom -on the second floor! It also needed additional structural joists to decrease the floor board spans. Miters and enc cuts were sharp and clean,. Then after painting all the end cuts, the composite lumber blended into a seamless, flowing wood like appearance. See photos. Sil & DIane Davis

Ed and his grandson Ryan transformed our deck from old and dilapidated to new and beautiful. I'm certain that our deck currently looks better than when it was originally built. Ed also poured a concrete slab next to the deck where a future hot tub will go. We're very happy with the finished product and have even talked with Ed about replacing an upper deck on our home. His price was great and we feel like we got a good deal considering the beautiful work. The installed steps are built so debris doesn't constantly gather underneath like the previous deck. We will definitely hire Ed again.

Ed was very responsive in coming out and then calling me with his estimate. He started working the following week and we are really happy with the quality and look of the deck! He also gave some good suggestions along the way. Also, when I texted him about a post that needed a minor repair, he came back right away to take care of it. We would definitely hire him again!

Ed gave us a bid and was able to squeeze our small project between two larger ones. He showed up when he said he would, and finished the project in a day. It looks great - lots of attention to small details. One small part associated with the railing didn't come in and he came back out as soon as a replacement came in and took care of everything. We're really happy with the work. Will use Ed again.

Ed was very fast with an estimate and once the estimate was accepted came by with a contract with the scope of work. Work was started at an agreed upon time and finished quickly. A couple trim pieces for the railing were missing and Ed made two additional trips to get those placed and the project finished. Finished product looks nice and cost was very reasonable.

Ed came to the house right after I hired him. He came twice to evaluate the job. Then he came back with his crew two days later after giving me a quote for the job that I found reasonable and less than another contractor. He came twice more to complete the deck, always showed up for work when he said he would, and always cleaned up the site before he left.

I left a message for Ed who called the same evening and we arranged a meeting. I wanted to replace the deck boards with composite and after meeting him I knew he was the man for the job. Very thorough in explaining the process and the cost. He was able to start the work quickly due to a cancellation. In 3 days the job was done with a Timber Tech product and it turned out beautiful. No more pressure washing the old deck, sanding and staining. If you are looking for a new deck or a rehab on a older deck you need not look any further than Ed.. Honest and dependable.

Ed and crew did a great job. They were able to schedule the work within a week of our accepting the estimate. Their price included pre-staining the wood, which was often not included in other estimates. We appreciated their efficiency, professionalism and problem solving. We love our deck!

Perfectly. He came out promptly and checked things out thoroughly, ordered the lumber from his usual supplier, and on the day agreed upon (4 days from my first phone call!) he and his two grandsons showed up and got to work. The stairs are nice and sturdy and he pre-stained them to preserve the wood., as well as routed the ends. Looks great.

They did an excellent job! This is the second time we've hired them (the first was for a rental property; they built a composite deck). Highly recommend them. Trustworthy and honest. Bids are very reasonable.
