a testimonial from the morales family

“Building a home is not an easy process and can be stressful. They did an excellent job taking that stress away and making the process as easy as possible. The communication was great and they’d send pictures with updates as we didn’t live in the area at the time which was awesome. If we can build another house I would 100% use them again.”
 
– The Morales Family

“After our initial meeting with Cedar Ridge Homes, we decided we didn’t need to look anywhere else. We were very impressed with Andrew’s and the team’s knowledge, experience, and ‘get-it-done’ attitude.”
 
– Bill Brown, Dark Hollow, November 2021 

“Cedar Ridge pursues excellence and integrity in everything they do. They finished our home on schedule and the result was a masterpiece. Our home is the talk of the neighborhood, and we experience joy every time we return to it. In fact, we were so pleased with the result, we just contracted to have Cedar Ridge build us another home for investment purposes.”

 
– John Emelio Jr., Moonlight Ridge, January 2020

“Building our custom log home with Andrew’s team has been an exceptional experience. Their quick responses, attention to detail, and genuine care for us have exceeded our expectations. From finding the ideal lot to open communication throughout the process, they have proven to be great builders and even better people. We’d recommend them in a minute.”

 
– Robert and Tori Walker, ‘Walker’s Ridge’, to be completed January 2024
“It is a family business, we dealt with almost everyone in the family and it felt like they really wanted us to have a house we’d love. Incredible communication: We never felt like a “client,” we knew they had other clients but they never made us feel like a burden.”
 
– Kyle & Elaine Olsen, Cub Crossing, December 2022

We are the right home builder for you if you value:

Throughout your entire building journey, we prioritize your needs and concerns, ensuring your interests are our top priority. Your vision and goals are our guiding principles, making us your dedicated building partner.

The Deep Creek area is arguably one of the most breathtaking places in the US. Our homes don’t take away from their surroundings – they complement the region around them. Before we begin planning each home, we visit the plot of land and natural landscape first, taking everything into consideration from topography to sun location and tree preservation.

Our authentic materials honor your mental and physical health and also respect the environment. We don’t believe in cutting corners because we know the true value and longevity of a quality finished product.

We hand-select skilled subcontractors who respect and care for your property. Our vetting process ensures that only the best craftsmen are entrusted with your project.

No two people are the same, and neither are two retreat homes. That’s why we customize the building process to you and your unique goals, desires, and dreams. Before we begin any build, we take the time to understand who you are and what matters most to you. We’ll walk alongside you, communicate with you, and make this process one of the best experiences of your life.
