Creative Fences & Decks

Creative Fences & Decks runs fencing and deck jobs from Oregon City. Mitica handles the main contact and design work while crews handle the builds. They install fences with gates and privacy screens, build custom decks using IPE or Trex, re-deck older structures, add patio covers, arbors, pergolas, retaining walls and waterproofing. The outfit has worked with Portland area homeowners for over twenty years on outdoor spaces that add usable room and hold up in local conditions.

Homeowners call them for full deck replacements on steep slopes where old wood has rotted or lost strength. Others need privacy screens added to backyards, fences run across front yards, or arbors rebuilt after storms with clear cedar posts. Crews named Daniel, Christian, Tyler, George, Vio and John tear out old material tangled in undergrowth, set powder coated steel posts, lay new decking with proper fasteners and joist tape, then finish with stain. The results come out level, tight and strong enough to handle wheelchairs or hot tubs without flex.

Mitica arrives for site visits and hands over a design plus bid the same day. Crews check in often during the job, keep full workdays and finish inside the agreed window. They stay reachable by phone and return for small fixes the same day if needed. Work covers Portland, Lake Oswego, West Linn and spots beyond, with clear cedar and other solid materials used on every project.

Reviews give them 4.7 from 80 entries on Google. People note the crews solve layout problems on tricky sites, keep things on schedule and budget, and leave surfaces that look sharp and stay solid. Repeat customers come back for fence and deck work years later because the first jobs held up well. DIRT Score 4.3 from reviews on Finds.

“Working with Creative Fences and Decks was a great experience from start to finish, 10/10 recommend! Prior to consult, our deck was deteriorating and needed a complete redesign and overhaul for improved safety and usability. Within 15 minutes of walking the project Mitica provided a new vision for a better design, one that other companies did not offer, providing a competitive bid at that first appointment! We knew our project would be challenging - the crew navigated everything without issue, demonstrating expertise and problem solving that only years of experience provide. We appreciated frequent check-ins and communication throughout the project. Thanks to Creative Fences and Decks we now have a beautiful, custom design that has expanded our outdoor livability. Thank you!”

“We worked with Creative Fences and Decks on three projects, starting with a new deck and a 40-foot privacy screen in our backyard. When we saw how beautiful their work is, we added a fence across our front yard. All three projects turned out beautifully. Mitica has a great eye for design and aesthetics. He’s fair, responsive, easy to work with. His crews — Daniel, Christian and Tyler on the deck and privacy screen, George on the front yard fence — are terrific. True craftsmen, very friendly and conscientious about how they work. Everything is high quality, done on time and on budget. I would highly recommend them.”

“Mitica at Creative Fences & Decks just finished rebuilding this Arbor that we lost in a storm. The finished product is much nicer than what we had before. George his builder is a master craftsman and Mitica did the design. We are very pleased and grateful for their work, and the materials are the best, clear Cedar, 6x6” posts, this Arbor should last for decades. It is really put together. Thanks guys!”

“Creative Fencing built a beautiful fence for our home. They worked hard from beginning to end to give us an outstanding fence. They expeditiously removed the old fence, and fence posts working around a tangle of undergrowth. They used superior materials to build the replacement. This included powder coated steel support posts and excellent clear cedar. The fence is both sturdy and a work of art. The custom gates with lattice tops are exceptional. The work was completed within the time frame and budget we agreed to. With the application of the beautiful finishing stain, the fence is an enhancement not to just our yard but to the neighborhood.”

“EXCELLENCE IN EVERY DETAIL! Creative Fences and Decks is Portland's premier decking contractor. We replaced our 28 yr old cedar deck and cedar railings with IPE decking and aluminum railings. We could not be more pleased with the final installation. From the first day of tear-off to final day of install, the team was so careful and meticulous in the structural prep, design and layout. As an architect I observed our 3-man team's knowledge of construction to take the extra steps I would have asked for, but did not have to, in efforts to extend the life of our deck with fasteners and joist tape. Mitica and our team, John, Dan and Patrick were a pleasure to work with. They really do take pride in their work and it shows. So pleased we decided to engage Creative Fences and Decks.”

“I hired Creative Fences and Decks to replace my deck this year, and my experience with them was fantastic. This was not a simple project—my backyard is on a very steep hill, and the deck sits about 30 feet in the air. Mitica did a great job keeping us informed throughout the entire project, and I can’t say enough good things about his crew. They were incredibly meticulous, took a lot of pride in their work, and clearly cared about getting every detail right. I would absolutely recommend Creative Fences and Decks to family and friends. They do great work, and I couldn’t be happier with how the deck turned out!”

“My deck needed to be fully replaced because of a structural problem. The bids all came in at about the same amount, but we went with Creative Fences & Decks based on their reputation. I'm glad that we did. Our old deck was functional space, but the new one that they installed is gorgeous as well.”

“If you’ve ever had frustrating experiences with contractors, Creative Fences and Decks will completely restore your faith. I needed a deck built with extra structural support and a dedicated electrical line for a hot tub. I was looking for top-tier craftsmanship and true professionalism: a detailed written estimate, a crew that showed up on time, full workdays, and a project completed on schedule. Creative Fences and Decks delivered on every single promise. The crew was friendly, helpful, and paid phenomenal attention to detail from start to finish. I couldn't be more pleased with the final result, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-quality work without the delays, excuses, or broken promises.”

“Creative was recommended by another fence contractor who had moved away from the area. Mitica is passionate about quality and he’ll remind you that they only use clear cedar. The crew who came was rock solid and from contract signing, had our old fence removed and a new one up in less than a week. Love the end result and attention to detail. Had a few minor points at the end that they came back that day and fixed. Neighbors are also very pleased with the end product.”

“We are so happy with the quality and look of our new deck. Mitica and his crew were amazing and efficient. We love It. We use it everyday and now it is sturdy enough for our daughters power wheelchair, She never could use our old deck but now enjoys the beauty of our backyard, thanks to Creative decks and fences .”

“Creative Fences & Decks built a covered deck for us recently. Their design suggestions were helpful, the work was meticulous, and the project is better than we expected. I recommend them highly. Thanks for a great job, Mitica and George.”

“Creative Fences & Decks really know their products and how to build them. They were quick, quality-minded, and left behind fences and gates that many of our friends asked about, because they were so impressed by how nice the woodwork looked. Highly recommended.”

“Creative Fences and Decks built us a beautiful patio! They built a porch with a roof and skylights off of the house. Michael was incredibly helpful with bringing our design to life and the workers did a fantastic job with their execution. My only major complaint and recommendation would be for more communication. We would discuss the plan with Michael, and then have to repeat the same conversation to the foreman when he arrived. We also had to reach out to them a few times to complete a section that was left undone. Aside from this, the project turned out beautiful, and their craftsmanship was more than we could have asked for. We would definitely work with them again.”

“These folks are literally the best. Our fence and gates exceeded our expectations and have elevated the overall appearance of our home. Constantin is a pleasure to work with and the construction team is talented and communicative.”

“The Creative team built two amazing awnings, one over existing deck and one that included a concrete pad and privacy screen for a new hot tub. Our guys, Vio and Charlie, that worked here were SO great! They were very hard workers and nice to be around for two weeks. I'd highly recommend this team to anyone!”

“We recently replaced our deck And part of our fence/gate with this company. Absolutely meticulous work. Everything looks beautiful and they are a lovely company to work with. Highly recommend.”

“Creative Fences and Decks did a fantastic job replacing our old deck with this beautiful new deck and privacy screen. Not only is the deck solid and tight, the craftsmanship is a work of art. If you want a quality deck/fence that speaks for itself, Creative Fences and Decks is a fantastic option. We look forward to working with them in the future.”

“We’ve had a great experience with Creative Fences and Decks, having used them for four projects over the past 15 years. Every time, they’ve been easy to work with, really listened to what we wanted, and made the whole process simple and stress-free. The quality of their work is consistently excellent—you can tell they take pride in what they do and pay attention to the details. Communication has always been clear, timelines reasonable, and the results exactly what we expected. If you’re looking for a company that does great work and truly cares about their customers, I’d definitely recommend Creative Fences and Decks.”

“I found Creative Fences and Decks after researching online for screening alternatives in our backyard. Constantine met with us and developed a panel concept that adds a great architectural and privacy feature to our yard. His team are good guys that take tremendous pride in their work. I highly recommend them!”

“We needed to replace a 10 year old wood deck that had been costructed by our landscapers and was starting to fall apart. I searched online for Deck companies near me with high ratings and contacted Creative Fences and Decks. Matica showed up promptly to inspect and gave us a detailed quote to replace with Timbertech per our request. He did a great job with the quote, answering our questions, was always easy to reach and quick to respond throughout the construction process. His teammember, Vio, who did all the demo of old deck and construction of new deck was super nice, considerate, detail oriented and diligent in the work. Felt like we got the best treatment possible. Exceeded expecations in every way. I can confidently say that we now have the deck we always wanted and one that is so well constructed that it will surely be the last I will ever have built for this house. Well done guys!”
