I have had to build a house twice in the past 3 years so I have come across many contractors, both…read moregood and bad. We contracted CDG to do a roofed deck to attached to our house being built by another builder. I have to say that I was highly impressed with Pete Sorge, Dan Brewer and their team. Dan Brewer was very patient and responsive during the initial consultative phase. There were 2 companies competing for our business and we are glad we went with CDG. They showed us a cheaper and efficient way to build our outdoor kitchen, saving us close to $7000 on the kitchen alone. Meeting Pete was also pleasurable experience. He was equally patient and pleasant and very flexible to meet our needs. Both guys are very laid back ease your mind. When we scaled down our walkway, the amount of credit we got was very generous. They have an open process for their pricing. We felt so much at ease that we added other aspects like walkway, front entry and mailbox. Their crew of workers were very dedicated; came to work in the cold and snowy days. My 10 and 11 years olds were asking us to get the hot chocolate to keep them warm. CDG was the definitely brightest spot throughout this second construction process, and their work was served as our stress release from the builder of the main house. The work is not half done but I have no doubt we selected the best group with reasonable pricing. We definitely have our peace of mind now. UPDATE: Since writing my earlier review, we have found that the progress of work has been very slow. Most of the time they have one mason on site. It seems to us there is no commitment to our project and finishing it soon enough so we can have access to our yard and do other things we need to accomplish. It seems that they have shifted resources away to other jobs. If you choose this company and want your job done on time, I recommend that you insist on a firm timeline and include it in the contract. Also inquire about the number of masons available for your project and include it in the contract.

Fantastic, trustworthy building group who went above and beyond with every project. After starting…read morewith a deck project, we were so impressed with their work that we went on to add a screened porch, refinished a large basement and then added a large stone paver outdoor entertainment area with a 6-foot fire pit. They managed difficult permitting issues and were creative in their ideas for and troubleshooting during each project. Everything ran on time and within budget. We particularly appreciated their experienced advice as to where they recommended we spend or save money for features or materials. The oldest project was completed over 7 years ago and each area they built for us has held up virtually maintenance and defect free. Cannot recommend them highly enough!!

I ordered 10 yards of playground mulch. What I got was about 4 yards of wood chips mixed with…read moresticks. I called and they said someone would be out with more chips. I had hired 2 guys to spread this much when someone from Bussard Brothers pulled up and was arguing with them that it was moved and originally it was 10 yards. I came out and started talking to him and basically he dismissed me and told me to go back in the house. He dumped more of this trash wood chips and sped off. AVOID them unless you want to be ripped off!

Screened topsoil was FULL of glass. I ordered screened topsoil a week ago (last Wednesday). When it…read moredidn't arrive on the scheduled delivery day I followed-up and learned their screener was broken so my load was delayed. I didn't care that much because rain was expected all weekend. Then it didn't arrive on Monday, or Tuesday and when I followed-up on Wednesday morning (today) I was told someone was supposed to call me to schedule the delivery - but never did. When my load finally arrived today (Wednesday) I was surprised to find TONS of glass shards. I learned about the glass because my 4 yo daughter cut herself while climbing to the top of the dirt pile. Large glass shards, see pics from a quick 5 minute inspection of the top of the pile. When I called to ask for a refund and the removal of the contaminated dirt my call was dropped. When I called back a guy answered (maybe the owner, I spoke to a lady previously) was short and rude when I asked about a timeline to remove the dirt. We're expecting Thunderstorms this weekend and I'm concerned the glass will wash off into the rest of my yard. I still don't have a timeline on the removal of the contaminated dirt, but the guy begrudgingly shouted to the lady in the office to process my refund when I pushed the issue. As a fellow business owner I'm dumbfounded at this company's lack of professionalism and quality control. They seem to have decent reviews otherwise - maybe I caught them on a bad day? Moral of the story - if you order from these guys make sure to closely inspect their product before spreading. I'll be ordering from another supplier.

I love the people at the restore here in Frederick. Cashiers are always very friendly and…read moreknowledgeable. I go in often to find items that can be used for my craft business.

The fact that they run sales on items that are already discounted makes me come back and the quality of the good so you are inspected before being put on the floor so you don't have to wonder if it works or not. But if you're buying something electrical, you can always check to make sure before you buy which I appreciate.

The last time we ordered mulch, after a couple of weeks a weird fungi started growing. It was tall, pink, and looked like a private part you'd find on a guy.... This time we ordered the mulch and it came with a TON of those brown centipede-type insects. They're all over the place now!!! I've only had it down for a few days, so we'll see if that pornographic fungi comes back. These issues might be a common theme among any mulch delivery companies, and it won't prevent me from ordering again in a year or so, hence the 4 star review.

We…read morecontacted a few places to get repair quotes for a few chips, cracks, a wide/warped seam, and we also wanted to get the counter re-sealed. Chris, the owner, was very responsive and friendly. His quote was slightly lower but quite similar to the other companies who responded, and we decided to go with him based on the price, his responsiveness, and the reviews on here (particularly the previous review with the seam repair, as the "before" seam looked exactly like ours!). Scheduling was straightforward and we were able to get our ideal day/time the following week. Two guys arrived on time and they got to work right away to fix all of the issues. They were here for quite awhile, and worked really hard to get everything looking great. The seam is now closed up and is MUCH less obvious. The two stone pieces were also uneven, with one jutting out past the other, and they completely fixed it- you would never know! The cracks and chips are all sealed and barely visible, and we haven't had any issues with the counters since their visit. Chris sent us a link before our visit so that we could pay by credit card at the end of the visit (otherwise we could have paid by cash or check). Overall, two thumbs up and we will definitely be calling them in the future if we have any issues with our counters!
