    Elephant Builders earns five stars in every category, most importantly in the stellar quality of their design and construction. Our deck project was rather complex, having three levels and an unusual attachment to the house. Greg and his team did an excellent job of building a frame that feels rock solid on even the highest level. The deck planks and railing fit with the precision of fine furniture. We received quotes from four contractors and Elephant Builders had the best combination of design, quality materials, and cost. Greg is a pleasure to work with and gave great advice every time we had a decision to make. We couldnt be any happier with the results!

    Greg and his crew are just amazing people. They came in under budget and ahead of schedule. They went above and beyond to make all the ancillary tasks compatible with the new deck they installed (adjusting sprinkler heads, installing gazebo, etc...). Before Greg and his team built our deck, we never went outside, its now our most favorite place to be. Listening to Louis Armstrong and grilling all summer long. We cant wait to start our next project with Elephant Builders; a wrap around side-walk. You too will love the way Greg and his team treat you like family!

    Moving to Corvallis and into a new (to us) house that needed a lot of TLC including some steps off the rear of the house, we were thrilled to find Elephant Builders and Greg Gardner. We cannot say enough positive things about working with Greg. He was prompt, communicative, fair, and mostly, he is an artist. The finished product is beautiful. We especially appreciate his ability to creatively problem solve when there were bumps (as there always are)in the project. We know that Greg stands by his work and definitely highly recommend him. Thank you Greg.Mary and George

    We had several quotes for our deck work and Greg Gardner of Elephant Builders came out on top. Greg is easy-going, straight forward and ON TIME! I truly appreciate when contractors arrive on time and complete on time. The job was well done and turned out wonderfully. Highly recommend Elephant Builders! (Privacy fence was owner-installed)Thank you Greg and Crew!

    We have had the pleasure of doing business with Elephant Builders a couple of times. As homeowners in Corvallis over 25 years, we have dealt with multiple contractors. Elephant Builders is far and away the most reliable contractor that pays close attention to quality and detail. Gregory designed above our garage a custom deck which is functional and beautiful. This job entailed a demolition of the old deck and custom rebuild. They also replaced our back deck and stairs. We were so impressed with Gregory and his crew that we hired them again, this time to do porch construction. Elephant Builders is our primary choice for future construction projects.

    With a few parameters from me Greg designed and built a beautiful deck. Greg and his crew were easy to work with, their work site was always orderly and clean at the end of the day. Being a good communicator and professional there was no surprises. I highly recommend Elephant Builders.

    Greg and the team at Elephant Builders were great. They were on time and professional. The finished Trex deck/railing looks clean and the attention to detail and craftsmanship means it will last a lifetime.

    I had Gregory tear out and then build a large expanded deck for me in January, 2019 at my home in Corvallis. After signing the contract, I was away for the actual construction, but Gregory kept me informed by e mail, phone, and with pictures on a very timely basis. He was a real pro from design all the way through the construction phase. When I return in May to the finished product I couldnt have been happier. I would unreservedly recommend Gregory to anyone building a new deck.

    Greg and Kelvin built composite material stairs on the back of our house. They did an excellent job while fighting cold weather along with a few wet days added in. Greg came back to follow up with one minor problem that he quickly took care of. I would not hesitate to recommend Elephant Builders for any work that Greg agrees to do. He was very responsive to any question or concern that we had throughout the construction process

  • Review 11 (2024-12-25 - Rating: 5)

    Fantastic experience. Remodeled an old deck that had a lot of challenges and built a cover. The new deck is absolutely beautiful and they handled some last minute requests. The crew was professional and enjoyable to work with. Greg was responsive and very accommodating. Cant say enough good things. Everything they did beat expectations. Highly recommended.

  • Review 12 (2021-07-23 - Rating: 5)

    Greg and his team did a superb job rebuilding our second story deck; we couldn’t be more pleased. Excellent workmanship, artistry and communication skills. Greg is a true perfectionist which is greatly appreciated and recognized. The entire crew was amazing and a pleasure to interact with. Bid was comparable to other well known large deck companies in the area. You won’t regret hiring Elephant Builders for your next deck or porch project; we won’t be hiring any other company in the future for our decking needs.

    My wife and I really appreciated the work done by Elephant Builders and how responsive Greg Gardner was to any questions or concerns we had. His team was very friendly and professional in replacing two decks and a back porch with high quality materials and expert workmanship. We also appreciate Gregs patience in listening and working with us to protect the shrubbery near our decks, keeping us informed on things, and his attention to every detail of the work. We believe you should get what you pay for, and Elephant Builders delivered this.

    Greg Gardner and his crew at Elephant Builders did a great job building our new deck. They were conscientious, professional and creative and did high quality work. Greg worked side by side with his crew throughout the project, and he and his crew were tough – they did the job in December, and worked on some pretty miserable cold and wet days. They were responsive to concerns and requests for design changes. We are very happy with the quality and the way the work turned out, and would hire them again if we had another similar project.

  • Review 15 (2021-07-24 - Rating: 5)

    Elephant Builders did a fantastic job on our patio roof. Theyre easy to work with and flexible to our needs. Amazing skilled builders with uncompromising attention to detail, theres not one thing they could have done better. Always friendly and professional, they kept the site clean and organized. Unlike many contractors you end up with, there was no second-rate work to either accept or force them to fix, everything was top-notch and they exercised strict quality control to correct problems themselves.It was a pleasure working with them and watching them build an amazing structure that well always enjoy. It was a 100% positive experience.

  • Review 16 (2020-02-23 - Rating: 5)

    Greg and his team did an excellent job building our Trex deck. From the planning stages to completion, Elephant Builders was everything we could have hoped for. They were punctual, kept the job site orderly and clean and did what they said they were going to do. Greg was open to suggestions as well as having some ideas for us as well. We highly recommend. You will not be disappointed.

  • Review 17 (2019-09-06 - Rating: 5)

    Hiring Greg Gardner at Elephant Builders was one of the best decisions we every made.We decided to replace our porch after hassling with the maintenance for over a year. Painting it and continued to have it chipping away.We interviewed 5 companies. Two Home Depot referrals that did decks, two builder/remodeling companies and Elephant that specialized in only building decks and porches.Price wise, the Home Depot referrals were at approx $10,000, young and inexperience guys, Elephant was at $13,000 + additional design items he exposed us to that we wanted totaling $15,000, another builder was at approx 15,000, and the last builder was at $21,000. No one had even mentioned the optional design elements Greg did. Plus Greg said he would be on the job every day with his men. None of the others committed that way.I went to see three of Gregs jobs and talked to the property owners. Jobs looked great, all owners happy, one was even surprised that Greg reduced the final price because it didnt take as long as he projected. My wife and I were convinced, this was the company we wanted. And what a great decision.After Gregs crew demolition, the prior framing underneath we so poorly done and rotted, we opted to have it all removed and have Greg start from scratch. Greg told us what the additional cost would be, which was very reasonable, and then said he was crediting us from the original bid for the work that would have had to be done if we left the original framing in place.Greg and his men showed up everyday on time, and finished on time. they cleaned up, put all of our porch furniture and plants back in place and showed nothing but character and class. Extremely nice people who did what they said, exactly. Even some extra stuff we never expected.You will not be disappointed using Elephant Builders.

    Greg and his crew just completed our new deck and it is fabulous! They were very professional and had great attention to detail. They completed the project quickly and went above and beyond, as the project was a bit more involved than initially thought. I recommend Elephant Builders without any hesitation!

  • Review 19 (2023-04-07 - Rating: 5)

    Greg and his team did such an excellent job on our deck. They communicated well, arrived on time, and cleaned up the daily messes. Very professional and approachable. The Trex decking makes the entire house appear 10 years newer. Couldn’t be more pleased with entire project!

  • Review 20 (2020-01-10 - Rating: 5)

    In December after much planning, researching deck builders in the area and getting 3 bids we chose Elephant Builders to do our deck using plans drawn up by a third party. During our initial meeting and after many questions, the owner Greg stated dont worry, we will build you the deck you want!The deck is now done and we could not be more pleased with the results. The workmanship is superb. They kept us informed of what they were doing, they double checked with us on several items to make sure it was what we wanted. As we got closer to the end of the project Greg asked us to look at a particular issue that they felt like if it was completed per the plans we would have been disappointed with the result. They could not have been more right, even though it added more work for them that change made a huge difference in the final appearance.Besides being really hard working professionals, they were a lot of fun to work with and get to know.Tim and Mimi GallagherCorvallis, Oregon

    We now have the most beautiful deck we have ever had. The workmanship is excellent and the products cant be better. We are now on our 4th deck since 1978. This one has the Trex decking and a beautiful railing. We cant wait until we can be outdoors for longer times. Bonni

  • Review 22 (2019-12-06 - Rating: 5)

    We are thrilled with our new front porch. The crew worked hard and got the job done quickly, the work was done well, and the crew was really nice to have around. The railing design was done by Greg and is beautiful and unique. We feel darn lucky that that Elephant Builders was available in our area to do our porch.

  • Review 23 (2017-12-19 - Rating: 5)

    Greg and his team were incredibly fast and efficient. They provided excellent service, communicated clearly and was very patient with myself and my family. Comparing their price to 2 other specialists, they came way under what we expected. The workmanship on our deck was of high quality, and the build looks fantastic.During construction they quickly informed us of any issues that would effect our budget, but still managed to come under their original estimations. They took responsibility and did a fantastic job all the way to the end.If I ever have any other problems with the home, I will definitely call them first with no hesitation. They have earned my trust and respect and their service absolutely deserves all of it.

  • Review 24 (2023-04-08 - Rating: 5)

    Excellent company. Very professional and provided great estimates and kept to the cost and timeline. Deck construction went well and result is beautiful. The crew was polite, professional and nice. The owner knew all about city permitting requirements (unlike other estimates I received) and worked well with me throughout the process. Best construction company I have worked worth and I highly recommend you check this company out.

  • Review 25 (2019-09-30 - Rating: 5)

    Incredible work from an incredible company! Greg and his team delivered an amazing new deck. On time, competitive price, detailed work, professional team and just overall really great people. If you have a deck project it would be a BIG miss to not use Elephant Builders! Thank you Greg!

  • Review 26 (2019-04-13 - Rating: 5)

    Thanks to Greg and his team for installing our beautiful Trex deck. From the quote to the finishing details, Greg was a joy to work with. He is honest, kind and has a meticulous attention to detail thats evidenced in the finished product.He and his team did exactly what they said that they would do. In this day and age, its comforting to know that such professionalism still exists. They were always on time, their work is methodical and well thought out, and his team is hardworking. They are all really nice guys to boot!We are extremely happy with the finished product. On time, at budget and beautiful! We recommend him wholeheartedly.Josh and Barbara, Corvallis

    Great quality work! End result was beautiful and the installers were hard working and pleasant even in some difficult weather.

  • Review 32 (2023-12-08 - Rating: 5)

    My husband and I are so pleased with the work that Greg and his team completed for us! We hired Greg and his team to reinforce and alter our deck to accommodate a hot tub. During Gregs evaluation of our deck he pointed out to us a dangerous situation that had not been fixed adequately by a prior contractor. Greg not only fixed that situation but did a beautiful job altering our deck to accommodate the hot tub. Greg was a great communicator, he was on time and treated me with the same respect he did my husband....something Ive found to be incredibly rare in the contractor world. We would happily work with Greg and his team again and highly recommend them.

    Greg and team renovated our deck/balcony last week. We were genuinely pleased with the quality of work, clear communication, honest recommendations, timeliness, and our overall experience. No glitches. Thank you Elephant Builders! We will call you again for sure.

  • Review 35 (2023-04-07 - Rating: 5)

    I have rarely worked with a more meticulous crew than the wonderful folks at Elephant Builders. The owner, Greg, was patient, kind, and professional throughout the design phase. He explained all the options clearly, and designed a really beautiful deck for us. Pricing was explained thoroughly, and his bid was very much in line with the other companies who came out to see our job.When deck construction started, the Elephant crew was out there before dawn, working like maniacs with barely a break. They always had a level, a measuring tape, a careful eye. It was amazing to watch them work with such precision.The deck itself is gorgeous, sturdy, and will probably last longer than I will! I highly recommend Elephant Builders for all your deck or fencing needs. They are true artists in this field.

    Greg has been excellent to work with - Always responsive and professional in all aspects of his work. I would recommend him and Elephant Builders to anyone needing a construction project.

  • Review 38 (2023-04-08 - Rating: 5)

    The quality of workmanship was excellent. The leads were experience and professional. Everyone worked hard. When making a resource commitment the commitment was met. We were given options on the design. Everyone from the company simply wanted to do a good job.

  • Review 39 (2019-05-31 - Rating: 5)

    I would be hard pressed to name a more decent, caring, and contentious contractor (and I have had the pleasure, and lack thereof, when dealing with quite a few when it has been time to make upgrades/repairs/improvements to my 1950s-era home!).Greg explains the costs and gives you a reasonable quote . . . and then adjusts those numbers to fit the project once he is on site and has a chance to assess what you need. He keeps you informed of his progress and makes sure that you are happy with the process throughout . . . and even goes out of his way to make sure you are happy at the end of the project as well.Nothing about the interactions feels forced. There is no sense that there is an up-sell occurring (even if Greg offers great advice for add-ons or tweaks to the existing project).I must add: his crew are great. They really care about their work. And they are great to talk to as well. I have no doubt that my project was, given his portfolio, a rather small one. But Greg and his crew never treated it like that. I wish all my interactions when it came to home improvements were this positive. It is nice to interact with a true craftsman nowadays. I cant recommend him highly enough.

  • Review 40 (2020-03-16 - Rating: 5)

    We had an eight hundred square foot deck that needed replacing. I can attest, unequivocally, that this was the best experience I have had with a construction project. Friendly, smiling professionals whose work is impeccable. A small company of three who take great pride in their work. Greg was most helpful in the weeks before construction began in helping us select specifics for the railing and encouraged us to use him as often as necessary in planning. The final product is beautiful.

  • Review 41 (2019-09-23 - Rating: 5)

    Such amazing workmanship and artistry. I loved how Greg took my basic idea and request for “something more than just the basic” and made a beautiful deck and entry that complements the yard and house. The attention to detail and quality in construction, the daily communications on progress, the professional and friendly approach. I would hire them again for any project. So happy
