I used Cedar Creek about a year ago (~150ish board feet, 8 foot), and the fence still looks brand new. I received a quote super fast, and was delighted for it to be the best value (out of 3 quotes). Craftsmanship is fantastic, communication was excellent, and I still love going outside to look at it. If I needed another one today, this would be the first number I called.
Cedar Creek did an excellent job on our fence. They didn't cut any corners and the finished product is outstanding. Our crew leader, Luis was extremely informative and lead his crew in a very professional and proficient manner. The crew also cleaned up after themselves and didn't leave the least bit of mess
I wouldn't know what to look for to determine, but my husband assured me the hardware and wood used was the highest quality when he examined it.
I highly recommend this company! I know this fence will hold up for us for many, many years!
...I know these photos aren't the best quality, but I was so shocked that the fence was wide enough that a full grown man could stand on top! I had to take photos!
