About us

Cedar Works has been in the business of building decks for over 20 years. Because we are committed to building the finest quality decks available, we’ve also built our reputation as the top deck builder in Southeast Michigan. Owner Jamie Ruddy received his degree in Building Construction Management from Michigan State University and went onto amass years of hands-on building experience as his company grew. Jamie is personally involved in overseeing the construction of each and every deck from the design process to the finished product. Jamie’s deck expertise is built on extensive training and certification in several composite deck materials. He is also a certified Trex Platinum pro deck installer. Cedar Works is made up of a committed crew of deck builders who will bring years of experience to your deck project.

Description of Work: They did a beautiful job on our deck. Some of the materials that came from the manufacturer were unacceptable and they refused to use them - I was impressed that they were determined to make everything meet their own high standards.

Description of Work: Called them to make an appointment to get quotes on a screened in porch. They couldn't come out within a week's time but were willing to see if they could move some appointments and fit me in sooner. They said they would call back and let me know what they could arrange. I never heard back from them.

Response from Cedar Works
Hello, I'm sorry I could not fit you in the one time slot you had open that week. I did try to move my previous appointment that was already scheduled. When I called you back to let you know that it was not possible, you told me that was fine and you did not want an estimate if I could not make your time. I wish I could have given you a design and estimate. Thank you, Jamie

Description of Work: Janie Ruddy gave me a quote to install new composite decking on my existing deck. He was very busy. Gave me a quote that was a little higher than the competition. He was pleasant, prompt and professional.

Description of Work: I joined Angie's List to find a reputable deck builder. After finding this listing on Angie's List, I called for an estimate to build our backyard deck. He hesitated because we are 34 miles apart but agreed to come give us an estimate. At the time he was to be here for the estimate he called that it was too far, even though he's doing work in ajoining cities - Chesterfield and Macomb townships. We found a builder through a family friend and, in fact, they did a wonderful job and finished our three-tiered, multiple staircase Aztek deck on 7/9/11 at a cost of $25,000. I don't believe 34 miles should have been too far to build a $25,000 deck, especially since he does work in ajoining areas. I thought that because we live in a new area with lots of new homes and homeowners building decks that I would find a great deck builder. That was not my experience. I joined Angie's List for the purpose of finding a deck builder, so I guess I'm not satisfied.

Response from Cedar Works
I did have a nice conversation with this member about the deck mentioned. I used Map Quest to find the location and it was 54 miles away (1hr. 22mins). I would have loved to do the job but it was just too far away. I made the member aware of this in a timely manner. I’m glad to hear that they found a great service provider to do the job; I just wish they would have been closer!
