Gregg Landry and his Baltimore County-based businesses -- Bluerock Productions and Towson Transfer…read more-- were recommended to me by the engineer who headed the BO&E department of CBS TV affiliate WJZ-TV. CBS had been a client for many years and I needed boxes and boxes of old VHS tapes converted to digital. Gregg went above and beyond. He quoted a price (Towson Transfers) , but then made the effort to weed out duplicates and tapes too badly decomposed to produce any good digital images and the result was a reduced bill and a body of work worth viewing. He also helped me cart the whole pile up to his office. But wait! It doesn't stop there! I also used his other company, Bluerock Productions, which offers video and photography filming services, editing and more and wow! Did he sure deliver on the "more!" On Christmas Eve I got a last-minute call from a big casting director looking to insert me into a Hallmark Film where the other actress had to drop out. I needed to do an audition ASAP; have the video production quality GREAT and have a "reader." Gregg answered his phone on Christmas Eve and agreed to come into the office the day after Christmas to help me film the audition. He was a great reader, and the quality of the video was superb. As I had just moved, all of my equipment was in storage, not accessible and not many people are willing to be a reader "at the last minute" anyway. What a super all-round great guy, great companies, great work.

First rate production company with a friendly, professional and talented staff. From my…read moreintroduction to Bluerock shooting green screen shots for my indie film in 2009, to just recently shooting a short comedy video in their new space, I have enjoyed every experience with Greg and his crew. They always have everything you need for a successful shoot and seem to have a soft spot for passionate filmmakers. The region is stronger and better for having Bluerock as part of the film and video production community.

My relationship with Alpha Graphics Inc started when I was looking for a custom printer in the area…read moreand decided to visit several locations. Each place I visited was kind, but AGI immediately went above and beyond. They didn't hesitate to engage in conversation with me, talking to me about what I was looking for, patiently explaining processes when I was truthful about feeling like a fish out of water (I felt like I had absolutely no clue what I was doing), and answered every question I had before I ever put in my first order. Once I received my prints it was the icing on the cake. Not only is the quality of the prints wonderful, but as an artist I was able to look at my images for the first time and see the total quality of my work. I am confident in providing my products to my clients and look forward to using Alpha Graphics for all of my printing needs in the future.

We love a local print shop, and they are located right around Union Mill area in Hamden. The…read moreparking can be really tricky. They do have spots out front but the first time I went I parked under the hill and it wasn't bad because it's all free parking. You just have to walk up the hill. It is right past the train track so make sure you are aware because the light rail passes through. I think the prices are really reasonable in this day and age when we still have to print things for marketing purposes and it's always nice as a local business versus a FedEx or Kinko and the service here is superior. They let you see a proof and they are really communicative.

We hired PDR Web Solutions to get a website up and running and revamp our logo. We were told it…read morewould take 2 months @ $3000 a month for them to deliver. $6,000 for a website seems steep; however if they are as good as they claim to be it would be money well spent. After several failed attempts at getting them to meet a single deadline we had to dispute the charge. Two weeks after the dispute we received an e-mail from them with actual concepts for the work they were asked to do. So we gave them a second chance; which was a big mistake. Essentially they wanted us to pay them $6,000 and not provide a single piece of deliverable marketing material. When we disputed the charges for a second time they sent an email thread which did not show the complete thread. They want to get paid to mail it in and they put each customer on a service package so you are unable to dispute. However we entered into a different type of agreement and they still tried to keep our money. STEER CLEAR!

I contacted PDR Web Solutions in January, 2019 to assist in marketing my property management…read morebusiness. I signed a service agreement with the owner, Jonathan Passley, which stipulated PDR's fee at $500/mo. with the first months fee waived and an advertising budget of $500/mo. Our service agreement took effect February 1st, 2019 and could be terminated by either party with 30 days notice. I started to receive calls on February 19th and by March 27th had taken 23 calls total. Only 9 of the calls were legitimate leads in my geographic area (one in Canada!), not ads themselves (2 from DHL in Chinese) or actually looking for property management. On March 31st I sent Jonathan an email explaining that I would like to terminate the agreement and he replied he was sorry to see us go and would stop everything immediately and waive the 30 day notice. On April 1st I received a billing statement from my bank which showed charges from PDR and Google in the total amount of $3385.05. Based on our service agreement I should have been charged (from Feb 1st to Mar 31st) a $500 fee to PDR and $1000 for advertising. I made several calls to Jonathan which went unanswered and followed up with an email, which also went unanswered. In addition to those charges, I was billed $333.05 in April and another $1850 in June. In response to the fraudulent charges I have 3 on-going investigations involving my bank, Google and the Baltimore Police Dept. (Precinct 6 Towson). Hopefully Jonathan finds some ethics and resolves the issue without going to jail for unauthorized use of a credit card. Buyer beware with PDR Web Solutions.

Getting in contact with these people once they have your money is nearly impossible as well. In the end the website itself was up to my expectations but it took much longer than I expected and I later found out that I could have had it made for about half the price I paid.
