What Homeowners Say About My Deck & Fence Work
Deck builds, rot repairs, steps, and fences — built personally, start to finish. Here's what recent customers had to say.
"Added an extension and new steps on to our deck. Matt does great work. He also works with you to customize the design the way you want it. The whole project went smoothly, good communication and a good price. We’ll be having him back for more projects at our home."
— Mare
"Did a great job repairing some wet rot we had on our deck! The cost came in quite a bit under other quotes we’d gotten. The work was done fast in just a few hours, and they were able to get us booked on the schedule really fast. Will definitely be reaching back out for any future projects we need help with!"
— Dalton D.
"My old fence had failed and blew over due to improper installation. Urban Edge came out and installed a new one for me and made sure it was done right. Highly recommend this company!"
— Hailea
"Matt worked with us to repair a project that had gone wrong. He was patient and listened to what we wanted and took care and effort to make sure it was right. His prices were fair and reasonable. Very professional."
— Diane F.
What I Build
Deck & Fence Contractor in Cedar Rapids
New decks, rebuilds, railings, stairs, and wood privacy fences — measured, built, and finished by me in Cedar Rapids, Marion, Hiawatha, and the surrounding area. Posts and footings set right so the work holds up through Iowa freeze-thaw.
New Deck Building
Composite and treated-lumber decks, pool decks, and wrap-around builds. Framing, footings, and ledger done to hold up for decades, with the boards and layout picked to fit how you use the space.
Deck Repair & Rebuilds
Structural repairs, new joists and posts, board replacement, and full rebuilds when the frame has gone soft. Porch repairs and refreshes too, so the old deck is safe to use again.
Railings, Stairs & Pergolas
Composite and black metal railings, new stairs, and safety upgrades for older decks and front entries. Pergolas and shade structures to make the deck usable through a hot Iowa summer.
Fences & Gates
Wood privacy fences in cedar or treated lumber, custom heights and decorative trim, gate installation and hardware, plus fence repairs and full replacements.
