Meet the owner
Cedar Wood Structures is owned and run by Val Dumitriu. Val holds a Master’s degree in Civil Engineering and has more than 20 years of construction experience. His interest in design came from his mother, an architect, and his engineering training shapes how every structure we build is framed, supported and connected.
Val leads each project from the first conversation to the final walkthrough, so you deal with the same person throughout.
