The crew worked efficiently from the start to end of the project. No problems.
Description of Work: Matica and his crew replaced our whole deck system which surrounds the house on 3 sides and has a lower deck included. They also added a large new connecting deck and an extensive privacy screen off the lower deck. The deck is made of ironwood with ironwood top rails and cedar posts. This was stained as well. The workmanship and timeliness was first class. We are very please. Matica and all workman were easy to communicate with and responsible.

We are absolutely thrilled with the results! Everything about this company impressed me from the start. Mitica came prepared with photos on his laptop to speed up choices such as railing styles, wood types, and bench options. Within 15 minutes, I had a bid in my hands. The price was competitive and their follow up was unusual. Once the project got started, the installers were prompt everyday, very hard workers and exceptionally detail oriented. The craftsmanship was impeccable and this deck is as solid as they get! Even the railing is like a rock. If you have any hesitation in selecting Creative Fences and Decks, you can put your mind at ease. All the references I checked beforehand also gave glowing remarks and now I am pleased to do the same for them. We have already chosen them to redo the porch on the front of our house.
Description of Work: The job was to rebuild a new Ipe hardwood deck where an existing deck had been removed. The deck was to wrap around the house, contour around an existing rock wall and use a metal ballister railing on the high side of the deck. We had also requested a 3-way corner bench and an access gate off the railing.

The project was fantastic. From the initial estimate to the completed project, the entire experience was awesome. Constantine and his team truly understand how to run a business. The estimate and design was worked out on their laptop. From there the project start date was finished. Everything was completed on budget and on time. We have received nothing but compliments on the fence, in fact they just finished our next door neighbor's deck and fence a couple weeks ago. We found them after seeing a fence they finished that caught our eye on a walk. I would recommend them to anyone!
Description of Work: Creative Fences and Decks built a cedar fence, two large arbors and a two fences for our 7500 sq ft.

The guys showed up every day at 0900 and worked through some horrible weather. They were very kind to our dog and tried to protect my garden.
Description of Work: These guys are great! Mitica spent sufficient time explaining the process and gave us options and his opinions on the different decking surfaces. We are very happy with Ipe, the Ironwood farmed in South America. Mitica explained to us that he pays his team well which aligns with our politics of not abusing new Americans. And because Mitica pays his team well, we had craftsmen working on the project. This is one gorgeous deck.

We've undertaken several home improvement projects in recent years and this was by the far the easiest contractor we've worked with. He was pleasant, knowledgeable and gave us great advice. Even better, the finished decks far exceed our expectations. This job went well from start to end. We called several firms on Angie's List. Mitica, the owner of Creative, returned our call promptly and came out that day to discuss our project. We told him we were interested in a composite deck as low maintenance was very important. He recommended Ipe instead, explaining the deck would weather to gray and the only maintenance would be to sweep and wash it. He gave us a bid on the spot for both materials and his was lowest of 3 firms who bid. Creative started two weeks later and said the job would take 5 days. The crew was very pleasant and extremely professional, real craftsmen. Their work was excellent. They finished on time and left the site spotless. We are thrilled with our new decks.
Description of Work: Creative designed and built two beautiful decks using Ipe (Brazilian Ironwood). They enhanced the upper deck with great looking double-top railings made from Ipe with metal balusters. They built steps connecting the two decks and added benches to each deck which give them an upscale, finished look. They removed our old deck and hauled it away.

It went very well, both Mitica and Constantin were very courteous and helpful. The crew of 2 men were very kind and did an excellent job. Though they weren't the cheapest quote I received, I feel that I made the right choice by selecting them. The wood is superb and knot free. I would definitely call upon their services again should I ever need another fence.
Description of Work: Approx. 120 feet of new fencing was installed after the old fence was removed. A new post was installed where one had been unstable.

The company's estimator, Mitika, showed up on time and gave us a thorough bid. He asked questions to clarify our needs and made sure we knew who would be coming to do the work and when they would be there. We paid a little more for the fence than another bid we received, but we wanted the quality that this company could provide. They used a higher grade cedar and ironwood for the stairs. We are VERY HAPPY that our new dog can no longer escape the back yard!
Description of Work: The company built a fence and steps leading from the fence down our sloping yard. The quality was very good and they were responsive to some changes that we made along the way. Communication was good and we are very satisfied with the results.

This was a wonderful company to work with. They are excellent and clear in their communication. When they first came out, we weren't sure what we wanted. They walked around our property with us and then gave us 3 separate quotes including different types of fencing and lattice-work. They brought a computer with multiple pictures and examples. They gave us plenty of time to make up our minds, but checked in to ensure that we didn't have any questions. When we decided to go with this company they were able to start work very shortly thereafter. They arrived when they said they would. They were quick and efficient. They worked from before 9 until dark each day. They even came on a Saturday to finish up. Our entire fence was done in 8 days, including demolishing/removing the old fence. They also stopped by and called to ensure that we were satisfied and that we didn't have any questions. I've already recommended them to friends. It was a great experience overall!

It went great. When I made the initial call they returned my call immediately and that is how the communication when with them during the whole process. They were very timely and organized. I called several other companies for bids, and although Creative Fence was not the lowest bid, they were the ones that called back to see if I made a decision and I went with my gut instinct and I am not sorry. They were very helpful and had great ideas. They told me ways I could save money and what would last the longest. Matisse, the owner, told me I wouldn't be sorry I hired them and am not. They did a wonderful job and I would highly recommend them.
Description of Work: They disassembled an old fence and deck and rebuilt a beautiful fence. They removed all of the old fencing and decking and the pilings for the old deck.

Probably the best experience we have had off all the renovations done to our house (and there have been a lot!). Very prompt initial consultation with the owner, Mitika, who was a great guy. the work was incredibly quick (5 days for a very large deck with a lot of built in's) and the craftsmanship is amazing. Polite and respectful work crew. We could have paid twice as much to have the same work done and maybe not even done as well. I wish I had more friends who needed work like this done so I could refer them to Mitika's crew. Really, it was a top notch job. The website is very good and gives a nice indication of their work.

The crew arrived when they said they would, and they were careful with the landscaping of the property. At the end of each days work, their tools and materials were gathered neatly and everything was cleaned up. They left no debris and their work is impeccable. We plan to do more fencing in the future, as well as decks, and we won't bother calling anyone else.
Description of Work: We had 185' of cedar fencing installed. Mitica came with a laptop with pictures of work they had done, showed us different styles, explained the cost differences, and the advantages and disadvantages. We chose a overlapped picture frame style with clear cedar posts mounted in brackets. This was a more expensive fence than other styles but looks wonderful. If you want top quality work, we strongly recommend Creative Fences and Decks.

The job went very well. It needed to be completed in one day, at least to the point that would allow the tenants to have access to their apartments. I also wanted it to be completed before the end of the year, and pass inspection by the city of Beaverton. All requirements were met to my full satisfaction. The quality of workmanship is very good. The price charged was high, but other companies either did not bid, or treated it as a fill-in job of low priority. I felt the responsiveness of Mitica Leontescu, and his willingness to work his crew near the Christmas holiday to meet my needs warranted getting my business.
Description of Work: Remove and replace stairway to upper floor of a 2-story apartment building and dispose of old materials. New stairway made of clear cedar with pressure treated stringers and "IPE" (ironwood) treads, with hand rails on both sides (due to requirement by city of Beaverton). Price did not include permits and fees or painting / staining.

We had already used Creative Fencing for a large fencing project and were ecstatic about the results, so we immediately thought of them for the deck project. Mitica came out and gave us an estimate, he was punctual and accurate. His crew had to work in some awful weather, but they showed up on time and were done on time. I love the Brazilian ironwood and am so glad Mitica suggested it.
Description of Work: Mitica put in a ground-level deck. The deck is approximately twelve by twelve. Mitica persuaded us to use Brazilian ironwood instead of cedar, the cost was actually a bit less than using top grade cedar and the ironwood is much more durable. The deck looks very handsome. Mitica's crew was punctual, did a terrific job and cleaned up beautifully.

The people involved in this business are courteous and professional. They arrived promptly to do the work, worked hard and cleaned up after the job. Part of the cleanup was due to limb removal so they could get the fence in properly, but they did not complain about having to do this extra work.

Mitica arrived at our place and gave us a quote ON THE SPOT. He showed me a sample of the hardwood they like to use Ipe and sold me on the additional cost of using that over cedar. The crew put the whole deck together in about five days. They knew exactly what they were doing and were very productive. These are not minimum wage workers they picked up on the cheap. These guys have been building decks together for many years. There might be a way to get a deck done cheaper, but it won't be a quality deck like these guys build. If you save a few bucks by using someone else, then don't get the deck you want, or they take all summer to get it done, then you really haven't saved anything. Use these guys if you want it done right and want a high quality deck. It's worth it.
Description of Work: Installed an Ipe hardwood deck approximately 800 square feet in size, accessed from the second floor of the house raised up. I saved a few bucks by doing the tear-out of the old deck and staining and sealing the new one.

They showed up for a free estimate right on time. They showed us pictures of fences as examples and talked to us about what we envisioned. After some back and forth on the estimate (we changed our minds about some things, and we split a portion of the cost with our neighbor) we came to a price that worked for everyone. The only hitch was that we asked for the fence posts to be put on brackets in the first estimate. Somehow, that was left off the last estimate, so our fence posts were set in concrete. This was our fault for not reading the contract as closely as we should have. However, one person wrote the first estimate, and second person wrote the final estimate, so that is how the mix-up occurred.
Description of Work: Creative Fence and Deck put a fence and two gates (one with an arbor) around our rather large yard. They accommodated a rock retaining wall, our existing deck, and a large tree. In addition, our shed bisects a portion of the fence, and they were great about attaching the fence to our shed.

Constantine did an absolutely amazing job. He was very flexible about scheduling the work for our convenience ( we have several dogs ) and came up with a beautiful solution to the sloped area at the rear of the garden. The workmanship and site cleanup were meticulous. The estimate and final costs were way lower than we were expecting to pay for such a big job. A plus all the way! We are going to ask Creative Fencing to build us a deck now !
Description of Work: We replaced old fencing and installed new fencing and two gates, including a pretty fancy custom gate with arbor. The re-fencing involved over 150 feet of fencing and different grade changes.

Due to the complexity of the project I had five contractors provide bids. Meiotic impressed me with his confidence, knowledge, friendly manner and creative approach to solving problems. The images of his fences, which I had seen on his website, are very impressive and I was happy to learn that his bid was comparable to the others I received despite being for a higher promised quality. The job itself went very smoothly with only a few minor hiccups. As a design professional (architecture) I tend to get involved in the construction process and Martica was always courteous no matter how many times I called. When we weren't satisfied with something Martica was responsive and quickly put things right. His employees are friendly and very neat, leaving the job site, our home, clean each evening. I am very happy with the final product. The fence is both beautiful and well made. This, I think, is the result of a contractor, Mitica, who cares that the work he does is of the highest quality.
Description of Work: Two part project: 1. Install 80 feet of concrete block retaining wall. 2. Install 170 feet of picture frame ceder fence with two gates and trellis. (80 feet of this fence was installed on top of retaining wall).

Workers were efficient, finished on schedule, and performed the ''extras'' that we asked for without hesitation. We had several bids and looked at everyone's work on other job sites prior to selecting a contractor. Mitica's crew had meticulous craftsmen. The price of the job was comparable to or below all other bids, but the quality was superior.
Description of Work: Complete tear out of 280 feet of 30 year old fence and retaining wall. They replaced it with new picture frame cedar style fence that was all hand finished beautifully on both sides. They placed two sturdy gates and an arbor to match house's architecture.

THIS PROJECT INVOLVED WORK AT THE COAST. IN THE INITIAL CONVERSATION I TOLD THE MEMBER THAT WE NORMALLY DO NOT WORK AT THE COAST AS WE ARE EXTREMELY BUSY WITH WORK IN THE PORTLAND METRO AREA. I ADVISED HIM THAT I WOULD CONSIDER HIS PROJECT IN THE WINTER TIME WHEN THINGS SLOWED DOWN, BUT THAT NEVER HAPPENED. I'M VERY SORRY THAT WE WERE NOT ABLE TO ACCOMODATE HIS NEEDS! MITICA
