May 16, 2014 -- by Ed Oberzut My wife and I experienced a great challenge when we worked long distance with a craftsman at CG&D on a customized project of designing our colorfully stained glass bi-fold doors. But, when the finished doors arrived safe and sound very well packed in a tractor-trailer at our condo, we were so pleased when we opened the boxes. Immediately, a local craftsman installed the doors at the wide entrance to my office. We were positively thrilled to finally see our functional art piece in place. Our joy was so great that we felt we needed to share the experience, so we planned a "Grande Reveale" party for the other condo owners in our complex so they could also enjoy the beauty of our stained-glass folding doors. Prior to the party, the doors were covered over with sheets, like the veiling of a great art piece. At the beginning of the party, the room was lit only with a few candles and all the guests were quietly brought into the room to view the unveiling. We played American Indian drum music to a crescendo. At the proper moment, bright lights on the other side of the closed doors came on and the drape covering was quickly lowered. Everyone gasped with delight at the same time! The light showed up the marvelous colors and the Native American design. It was an awesome experience! The folding stained glass doors by CG&D are our pride and joy and add so much richness and colors to our condo. read more

I contacted CG&D for two sets of shower doors in guest bathrooms. Since these were guest baths, I wanted something that looked nice but wasn't too expensive. The owner, Trip Cathcart, was very knowledgeable, professional, and responsive. He clearly laid out my options with pricing for each, and I appreciate the fact that he did not try to oversell me on something more expensive. The installer, Rocco, was great - very efficient and didn't leave any mess. I'm very happy with my entire experience with CG&D and highly recommend them. read more

These folks do really nice work with Glass. We had them replace the glass in the doors of two antique bookcases. They made great recommendations on some beautiful designer glass. The final product looked fantastic! They are fast and efficient and very friendly folks. Talk with Lisa, she's a hoot. I would highly recommend C G & D to all my friends and family for any glass work needed for a home. read more

We had a wonderful experience with CG&D from start to finish! Trip worked one-on-one with me to make sure I selected a pocket door and transom that would be personal, functional and beautiful. Our hand carved glass transom is equisite and the carpentry for our pocket door is excellent. We would definitely work with them again in the future. read more
