Grier was a pleasure to work with. Him and his team Tyler and Brandon couldn't have been more professional and also friendly. I wanted to work with him after seeing his portfolio, check out his Instagram. https://instagram.com/urban_frontier_builders?igshid=klj2a1pyffkr It was fun to collaborate on the project taking some of my ideas and adding his. The final product was a brand new pergola which I am excited to take advantage of this summer. He stands by his work and is a master craftsmen. Also a very nice guy. Definitely recommend and plan to work with him on future projects. read more

My wife and I decided to build our own fence but couldn't get the front gate fitted correctly. I reached out to Grier with Urban Frontier to see if he could help fit and reset the gate. Even though it was a small project, he was quick to respond, had a positive attitude about the request and offered to help us out! He did a fantastic job - he reminded me of when he was coming to our house, did it quickly and professionally and now we can open/close/lock our front gate with ease :-) I highly recommend him if you have any issues with your fencing or just generally need a new fence built! Thanks again! read more

Grier and his crew did an extraordinary job building a new fence for my backyard. Grier the owner took the time to make sure that it matched my existing fence as much as possible. They left the workplace clean each day. Grier was a great communicator and kept me abreast of what he was doing every step of the way. He even went the extra mile to paint a handrail that was not really part of the original estimate. The cost for the work was reasonable based upon my budget. Grier worked diligently to keep costs down for me. I highly recommend Urban Frontier LLC for your fence project. read more

Urban Frontier - Completed fence. - Decks & Railing Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Urban Frontier came out and replaced a portion of my back fence in late 2017. The posts were apparently rotten. 5 years later and that replaced portion of the fence ONLY has fallen over and ripped away from the surrounding fence. Not sure if the posts were not dug deep enough...I was hoping to get longer than that for the price. read more

Grier and his team were absolutely awesome! They were efficient, friendly and clearly passionate about the work. The entire process from building the fence to staining the fence was easy, professional and seamless. I highly recommend hiring Urban Frontier for your fencing needs! read more

two projects came out great! I ordered a 12x12 ground level deck and a carport from these guys and they did a great job. The projects came out on budget and I am very pleased with the workmanship and good communication. read more

If you need a new fence - this is your company. Grier was a pleasure to work with - professional, courteous, and so timely with his response time and getting us on his schedule. The crew was great and we ended up with an amazing product. Couldn't recommend more highly! read more

Grier and his team are pure professionals. My fence had fallen down due to a wind storm and the process was super easy. I sent photos, Grier came over for an estimate and we started work shortly after. There were no delays or hidden fees and he got the fence back up in a day. I'm so happy with the work I'm going to have him work on my deck next. Highly recommended. read more

Urban Frontier did such a great job resanding, staining and sealing our deck, stairs, and facade that we're currently working with them to get a fence built. From reaching out for a quote on yelp, having Grier come out to look at the house and getting a timely and fair estimate to finalizing the project-working with Urban Frontier has been a pleasure. Aside from being honest and doing quality work, they really go out of their way to do any research necessary to ensure the work is done right.

We highly recommend working with Grier and his team! After speaking and meeting with about six contractors in Seattle, it was obvious that Grier was the most reliable, creative, and knowledgeable. Grier guided us through the design of our front fence and back gate to create a beautiful and quality addition to our home that was also within our budget. We wanted to add a back gate in a bit of an odd spot and Grier went above and beyond brainstorming the best solution. In the end we decided on a simple option that worked great for the space, was within our budget, and was a much better idea than other contractors came up with. Grier was even able to move around some projects to allow ours to be completed before our wedding when lots of family would be visiting and spending time at our new house. Grier and his team worked efficiently and conducted the project in the timeline discussed. We absolutely love our fence and are so thankful for Grier and his team! read more

Grier was awesome, very communicative, super knowledgeable about the process for fence building and helpful in choosing materials and design. Would highly recommend for any wood project you have in mind! read more

We had a great experience working with Grier. During a recent snowstorm the weight of the snow pulled over a large section of our aging fence. I'm amazed how Grier was able to rebuild the fence in rather tough conditions and it looks fantastic. He suggested re-using a lot of our wood since it was unique and would match other fencing in our yard. He salvaged as much of it as he could and even sourced more that was needed to complete the project. He was straightforward through the whole process, his bid was great and on target, and the quality of the work is high. He also communicated well with us and was responsive. I would definitely use Grier again and would recommend his services. read more

Grier was wonderful to work with. He gave us great ideas for our project and was very upfront about cost. He and his team got our project done in a week and worked much of the time in the pouring rain! read more

Great craftsmanship, great attention to detail, great finished product. Grier and team take a lot of pride in their work and it shows. Beyond thrilled with our new covered patio! read more

We can't recommend these guys enough! Grier & Anders are terrific to work with. We had a great experience from the day that they came over to see what we wanted done to the day that their beautiful work (our beautiful new fence!) was complete. They are great listeners and observers. They heard what we had to say about our likes and dislikes as well as our ideas of what we would like to have done. They took all of this info and came up with sketches that incorporated our novice ideas and aesthetic with their expert opinion and talent. With so many incredible options it was a bit difficult to narrow it down to just one! I am certain that whichever design we had chosen would have been equally amazing. It goes without saying that they are super professional (& talented)...they started the work when they said they would begin; they arrived when they said that they would arrive; they worked long days and never left things up in the air as to when they would return etc. Simply put they are awesome to work with, extremely talented and professional. We highly recommend Urban Frontier! read more

Urban Frontier - Decks & Railing Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Our home was hit by the windstorm last December and knocked out our fence, portions of our deck steps and railing. From the initial assessment to finishing the project, Grier was super helpful, honest and professional. Grier's work is high quality and very thorough (not cutting corners). I appreciated the level of communication throughout the process which gave me peace of mind and comfort. Definitely someone I would recommend to anyone looking for fence/gate work! read more

I'll just start by saying that Grier is the guy you are looking for to build your outdoor structure(s). He has those rare qualities about him that we all hope for in a contractor, but seldom find. A true craftsman who cares about your project from start to finish and even after that. read more

I am so happy with the work performed by Grier and Anders which included stabilizing my deck and installing Azek decking. They were available quickly and were timely in their visits to our house. I felt I could trust them from the beginning as they were professional and factual in their communications. They listened to my plan and ideas and made suggestions to improve on it. They are incredibly hard workers and their work is precise. I would work with them again without hesitation. read more

The rumors are true; Urban Frontier is legit! Grier and his trusty sidekick, Anders completed two projects for me this summer; a deck around my hot tub and replacement of a section of fence (with a gate). I attempted to solicit bids from 6 different highly-rated contractors. The only reason I reached out to so many companies was that no one was getting back to me. I had a very specific design in mind for the deck and I knew it would take not only someone who knows how to build a deck, but also someone with a flair for design. In addition to it being a relatively complicated design, the existing patio and yard weren't level, so I knew it was going to be a challenging job for whoever agreed to take it on. Of the 3 contractors who eventually gave me bids, Urban Frontier's estimate was the highest, but only by a very small margin. I was impressed with their knowledge of materials and ideas for how to make the project come together exactly the way I envisioned it. And they seemed legitimately excited about the project, whereas the other contractors seemed less enthusiastic. Throughout the project, I received regular updates on their progress, including plenty of opportunities to give input when they weren't sure which way I preferred something be done. Most of the time I deferred to their expertise. After all, they're the guys who do this for a living! Ultimately, some of the decisions I left to them ended up being some of the coolest aspects of the finished product. I couldn't be more happy with how everything turned out. I have a beautiful deck and a new fence, both built "bomb-proof". They look much better and I'm sure will last much longer than if I'd gone with a company who gave me a slightly cheaper bid. Grier and Anders are honest, punctual, friendly, intelligent, and fun to collaborate with. I won't hesitate to recommend them to any of my real estate clients who need any of the services they provide. And to my fellow Yelpers, if you hire Urban Frontier, I can virtually guarantee that you'll be happy you did! read more

I feel lucky I found these guys. Grier was extremely great to work with. Had a small job, but they were very responsive. Cost is fair and honest. Everything was done in a timely manner. High quality work with attention to detail. Would highly recommend them and will work with them again. read more

Grier and Anders came out to our home for an estimate on a balcony railing that my husband and I wanted to have recreated out of wood. They were very knowledgeable as they inspected our woodwork, and pointed out a few things that could be improved, such as choosing the proper wood, explaining why our current railings (all DIY projects by the previous owners) were falling apart, and showing us places in the front deck railing that needed to be reinforced for safety. We had also gotten an estimate from another company for a metal balcony railing, but the cost would have been the same, so we decided to hire Urban Frontier to rebuild and preserve the unique character of our house. My husband and I were so thrilled that we made this decision; they built a beautifully constructed railing and were open to some changes that we came up with together, such as converting the planter boxes in our railing into seats in order to prevent moisture buildup and prolong the lifespan of the deck. I also mentioned that I was worried about my small children getting stuck in the existing railing, and they designed and built a solution in a flash. Not only are they expert craftsmen, but Grier and Anders were exceptionally kind, professional, and punctual, and communicative throughout the process. We're looking forward to working with them again and would absolutely recommend their work! read more

These guys knocked out a challenging fencing project for me over Labor Day weekend two years ago. The challenge was removing many blackberry bushes and digging out a few old fences that were cobbled together. The fence is far better than we expected. That's right, we love our fence. I never thought I'd love a fence. When I thought there was an issue with the fence a year later, I texted Grier and they came over a few days later to check it out. There wasn't an issue. It still looks great and functions properly. read more

I really enjoyed working with Grier and Anders on my small demo job. The work I needed done was not glamorous, but they still approached the job with professionalism and enthusiasm. They were quick to respond to my inquiry, quoted a fair price, and showed up on time every single day. Plus, they were nice and fun to work with! read more

Grier absolutely knocked the design and construction of our fence out of the park. He's easy to talk to and his estimate was clear and honest. That said, and he'll be the first to admit this, their price is maybe 5% more than what you might expect if you go shopping around with the bigger fence operations in the city. We love the uniqueness, quality of construction, attention to detail, and thoughtfulness of our fence, and the extra money was clearly worth it. If I can figure out this interface, I'll let photos do the talking. read more

I have always wanted a breakfast nook in my kitchen. After doing a lot of research, receiving over 7 bids, when I met Grier and Andrers, I knew immediately I wanted them to do my project. They were very quick to respond to my initial request, came to my home to get measurements and were able to provide me with a bid within a few days. Their genuine and friendly personalities initially sold me but then their very fair bid and expeditious timeframe to complete the project sealed the deal. I am over the moon on my "nook"! Their ability to create my vision is exemplary. Then I realized I needed a mantle for over my newly tiled fireplace. They came back the next week and restored the most gorgeous piece of wood into the coolest mantle. I received so many compliments on the nook and mantle from my family over Christmas! I have and will continue to recommend these 2 awesome and talented guys. Much thanks for all your hard and beautiful work. read more

Urban Frontiers was a welcome find for our small home projects. Grier is an outlier when it comes to small contractors and communication. He is more than excellent in communicating design, product options and timing. He also spent the time reviewing project specs and visiting the site to insure a finished product that we (including Grier) would all be happy with. His work at our home included an exterior railing as well as a mantel replacement in our living room. The attention to detail and stout design will insure our front railing will hold up to our wet Seattle weather. All this goes without saying that the craftsmanship is second to none. Urban Frontiers and Grier will be our only referral to friends when asked. It does not get much better when you have a home improvement project and someone that you can count on. read more

I reached out to Grier and Anders at the end of April. They emailed me within a day and scheduled a meeting to talk about our project. Thankfully, they were able to squeeze us in with their busy season starting. From day one, they were easy to reach, friendly, knowledgeable and honest. We felt like they cared about our project every step of the way and helped us design something we are very excited about. They extended our deck, built a covered structure over the deck, built new railings, and two custom benches. Grier and Anders worked incredibly hard, putting a ton of care and thought into their work. I highly recommend Urban Frontier. You won't be disappointed by their craftsmanship, attention to detail and great communication! read more

After extensive due diligence searching for a company to refinish our deck, I am beyond grateful to have discovered Grier and Urban Frontier. We have a large deck made of tiger wood and the varied approaches and estimates I received - from both large and small shops - for its overdue cleaning and staining fluctuated wildly. From our first correspondence, to his onsite evaluation, recommendations, and the actual work, Grier was professional, reliable, thorough and meticulous in his care for our property. He and his brother worked tirelessly on our deck for multiple days, keeping us fully abreast of progress. We couldn't be more happy with the result. Our deck looks fantastic. Grier's clear communication, professionalism and expertise were appreciated throughout - even down to recommendations on how best to maintain our deck in the coming years. Highly recommend! read more

We had Grier install a custom designed built-in bookshelf along one of our bedroom walls. Grier was professional throughout and was happy to accommodate our schedule and budget. Moreover, his craftsmanship lived up to the reviews - it was clear he cares deeply about the quality of his work and handled the weird quirks of our old house with skill. We are hiring him again to upgrade our staircase, and would readily recommend him. read more

I must be in the 5%. Requested quote, emailed, tried to call twice - voicemail full - never heard back, gave up.

Grier & Anders just finished resurfacing my back deck & front entryway decking/walkway with Trex. The project came out so much nicer than I even anticipated. It not only looks great, it feels 200% safer than the rotted wood that was there before. They were really great to work with and went out of their way to do extra things the other bidders on the project did not include. They have great attention to detail, are very easy to work with, do a great job and are super nice guys tool! As an example, Dunn lumber delivered the decking materials a few days before the guys were going to work, I was worried about having the expensive decking materiel in the driveway, in terms of inviting someone to come by and take it. Grier & Anders came by and moved it to a much more discreet location without any complaints. I highly recommend Urban Frontier and will be working with them again in the future. read more

Urban Frontier did amazing work on my custom 16' x 16' deck, plus pergola, built on a super tilted concrete slab. Their attention to detail and great communication was a relief and made the project exciting. With total enthusiasm, they offered design ideas but incorporated my own wishes. As a team, they work well together and are flexible and disciplined. I have NO reservations in recommending their work - their quality construction and organized business approach means they can help you get what you want, when you want it. Pricewise, they were honest and detailed, which helped me make appropriate decisions for my budget and vision. Thanks, Anders and Grier! read more

My wife and I just had a major project completed by Urban Frontier. We had a green house and a back fence built. We are the kind of people who like to think outside the box, appreciate creative reuse, and like to stick to our budget. Working with Urban Frontier we were able to really collaborate and design our back yard in a way that was useful for us, reflected our budget, gave a creative feel and I can't stress this enough the project came along with lots of checking in on the budget and talking about little ways that we could enhance it which was important to me. The two guys who run this business are on time, honest, creative and incredibly hard working. I would really consider what they do art. I couldn't be happier. read more

Urban Frontier did a fantastic job replacing our fence. They were incredibly responsive and patient in answering the many questions we had. They promptly provided revised estimates as the scope of the project changed, and despite those changes, were able to complete the project within the time frame they originally provided. The fence required lots of problem solving, such as working around mature trees and poured concrete. And the end product was top notch! We've received many compliments on the fence from our neighbors. In fact, someone down our block was so impressed with Urban Frontier's work that they hired them for a project of their own. I can't recommend Urban Frontier highly enough! read more

We just had a beautiful, unique, functional fence built by Urban Frontier. We are very happy with their work! Anders and Grier were so friendly and reliable throughout the experience. They provided a free consultation to discuss options for the job (and they were very cheerful and patient about our 4 year old interrupting us constantly!). They followed up quickly with our questions and worked with us to make a plan that fit within our budget. I shared a general idea of our vision and they worked creatively to design a fence that incorporated the colors and materials we were hoping for. Throughout the process they checked in frequently to make sure we were happy and to invite our feedback if we had any. Their hard work and creative approach resulted in a beautiful fence -- many neighbors have complimented us on it and we are very happy! Highly recommend!! read more

well, I have sent an email and I heard nothing, I called the phone number and the voice mail is in spanish, which I do not speak . I even tried twice thinking I had made a mistake in dialing. was interested in using them but can't seem to connect read more

Similar to all of the other reviews, these two gentlemen are as nice, professional, courteous, and timely as they come. They came within one day of my call to look at our fence repair. All of their visits were punctual--literally, to the minute. They communicate very well, are very upfront about what they think needs to be done and why. We threw out a few different options at them. In the end, they were able to show us how they could save us $$$ by being a little creative. We couldn't be more pleased with how our fence repair turned out. It's total quality work, no cutting corners. Easily, we'll get several more years out of the fence thanks to their fixes. We had a very noticeable "lean" in the fence due to years of being battered by winds, rain, etc. They were able to fix it to "straight-as-an-arrow." On top of that, they are just two of the nicest guys you could hope to work with. Left our property spotless. We will not hesitate to use their services when our old fence finally needs a full replacement. read more
