Custom Design Group

Custom Design Group did a great job for me. I'd recommend them to anyone looking to replace their deck. Good quality workmanship. Professional. They've done this work for years and their experience shows.

Barry, Meg & Nick were wonderful to work with. Barry was so helpful in designing our new deck; he listened to our ideas and concerns and designed a perfect deck for us. His suggestions on color and materials helped us decide and the deck turned out beautiful. Once the project began, they were great to work with and completed the project quickly. We are so happy with the deck and Custom Design Group.

Beautiful deck. CDG did a great job and are very nice to work with from ordering through construction. Colors were a perfect match for the exterior of our home. We'll have many years of outdoor enjoyment.

Our deck is the absolute best in our subdivision. Beautifully built and crafted to perfection. Our neighbors have said this is a true work of art and wish they had a deck like ours.

Custom Design Group did a fantastic job on our new deck! It was completed quickly and looks great! Would definately reccomend them.

Professional and friendly crew. Organized and kept the work site cleaned up. Really like the black metal railing. Happy with overall results!

We are incredibly happy with our deck. We were replacing a current deck and also expanding it and the whole thing fits perfectly and looks like it has always been that way. They were professional and paid attention to detail. We wish we had done it a few years earlier. We have already recommended them to other friends who have been over and talked about how much they like the deck.

Barry, was very knowledgeable and professional. He also help guide us through our deck project to plan the best design for our needs. Our deck looks more beautiful than I imagined. Thank you Custom Design group

Barry, Meghan and Nick did a great job on our Trex deck and finished the project in the timing that was promised. This was the second time we hired Barry and his team. Barry was also very proactive at taking care of any product color issues proactively without us having to ask. You can tell he really cared about getting the deck project right. We are very happy with our Trex deck.

Custom Design Group did outstanding job of designing and building our new deck. They were very professional and efficient during the project. The deck was completed on time and we are very pleased with the outcome. They cleaned around the work area daily and the Team was very friendly. They took pride in the workmanship of the deck to make sure everything was perfect. They built custom planters for the deck based on our request. I would recommend the Custom Design Group to others considering new deck.

Custom Design Group of Kalamazoo exceeded our highest expectations in craftsmanship and exceptional attention to detail! They created a warm and welcoming entry for our family and friends.

Our experience with Custom Design Group was amazing. The crew was timely, work completed within the timeframes given. Clean up was done after work each day. The crew was friendly,pleasant, and professional. The completed project was exceptional. We would highly recommend Custom Design Group!

Great work and great people. The deck is beautiful and I know we'll have lots of years to enjoy it.

Custom Design Group is an amazing team who built me a beautiful deck within the timeframe quoted. They arrived on schedule and consulted with me on various aspects of the project while the deck was under construction. Post-project cleanup was great, and if it wasn’t for the beautiful deck one would never know they were at my home! CDG is very professional, provides high-quality workmanship and working with the team was a pleasure. I would highly recommend CDG!

Modern Design Group specializes in deck construction and has wide ranging experience. They are a small group and work together well. A good result for a custom deck.

We love our deck! Barry and his team did a great job with the design and build. He was on site the entire time and was directly involved in all aspects of the build. Thanks to his experience he was able to resolve any issue that came up along the way. Barry communicated well throughout the project which was appreciated since we live out of state. We would recommend Barry and are in fact having him do a second project for us later this year.

I am very happy with the 2 new decks built by Custom Design Group. The care they took in building them is obvious. Can’t wait to enjoy the summer on my new decks.

The Custom Design Group team are some of the nicest and most diligent professionals and artisans I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. From start to finish, Barry was considerate and punctual for keeping us updated of the timeline until our project start date, including any extensions for the intense weather we had, and once construction began, the team was fast, efficient, and precise. We upgraded an aging wooden deck to Trex and reworked the sizing and the staircase access down to it from our upper level, and everything about it turned out beautifully. The new lighted and closed-faced stairs are perfect for our unstoppable adventure toddler and the wide-open layout for the deck itself is going to be perfect for hosting friends and the lighted edging will allow safe and easy on-and-off access from the yard in addition to looking lovely. I am absolutely over the moon with the work that Barry, Meghan, and Nick did. You could not ask for a better team of people.

Our finished product turned out great! We had one rail that was a little off and Barry replaced it no problem. Once things got underway the project was completed in a timely manner. Barry was very good at communicating and giving us updates as to what would be coming next since we were always at work while deck/patio was underway. Overall we are pleased with both the deck and patio.

Custom Design Group is a professional team. They built a composite deck and paver patio for us meeting schedule and budget. Their construction knowledge and work quality was great. We are very happy with the deck and patio. We highly recommend them to others and would use them again for another project.

I love my new Trex deck! Custom Design Group replaced a rotting cedar deck with exactly what I wanted. 5 stars for integrity, expertise, quality and price. I recommend them highly!

The Custom Design Group created an amazing and beautiful addition to our home! Our new multilevel outdoor space is wonderful and we can't wait to start using it this Spring! The Quality is outstanding and we sincerely enjoyed working with Barry and his team!

We are so pleased with how our new deck turned out! Everyone was friendly and professional, always willing to answer any questions, and honestly I can't believe how clean the construction site was at the end of every day. They have been a great group of people to design and build our deck! We are very happy with the results.

If you can dream it, Barry and Meg can build it! Barry's experience, creativity, and problem solving skills kept this project on time and on budget. He offered some suggestions and I am glad I listened--His ideas actually saved me money. Trex is a quality product that requires quality installation and CDG did not disappoint. They kept the work site tidy and safe each day. My deck is now a sanctuary and neighbors have "deck envy." It most definitely increased my property value--but who would want to move now? Thanks team!

Custom Design Group definitely met and exceeded my expectations on every level including the quality of the design and build, communication level, timeliness and overall professionalism. Barry is a very warm and friendly individual who gives excellent customer service and top notch work. We will be using him in the future for other projects!

Deck turned out amazing. Barry was ao professional. Kept us updated thru out the construction. I am planning another project for Barry and his team for next spring or summer.

Barry and his daughter did a wonderful job on our back deck. We wanted a big play area for our little ones and he nailed it! His unique design fit our family perfectly. The deck was finished in a timely manner. Barry is very professional and I would reccomend his services to any of my friends and family.

If you want a quality deck, look no further. This is the second deck that Barry has built for us and let me explain to those who will be reading this review. He builds beyond code. In other words, you will have a quality deck built like a tank. It will last a very long time also Barry and his team are very professional and courteous. Trust me, I am very picky about how I want things done. You will be extremely glad when the finished product is done. Barry and his team exceeded our expectations.

Barry and his team did an amazing job on our deck. He is an excellent communicator and offered wonderful suggestions to make our deck far exceed our expectations.

Custom Design Group did a phenomenal job! They were very professional and well organized! They were able to meet our needs and did quality work and kept to our budget. Barry and Meghan were a pleasure to work with on our deck project! They picked up and cleaned everything up even cleaning up our patio of everything. They put beautiful flowers in our four flower boxes when they were done with the project I am really enjoying them! I would highly recommend Barry and Meghan to everyone and we would hire them in the future for other projects in the future! Thanks Barry and Meghan!

Barry and his daughter are wonderful to have custom design our beautiful deck, patio, and gazebo. They went above and beyond our expections with personal hand crafted railings and I cannot say enough about how friendly, curtious, they are. They take pride in their work and it certainly shows.

This company built my first deck 25 years ago so naturally I turned to them for my replacement deck built from Trek. I have always been pleased with the quality of work from Barry and his crew. They attend to detail and the finished product looks great.

Barry Fate and his daughter Meghan recently constructed a beautiful deck at our place of residence. Their assistance in planning and laying out the project was very helpful. Their workmanship, together with the knowledge they have from their years and experience of working together, resulted in the construction of a deck that was more than we could have hoped for. They worked in a timely manner and were willing to make any modifications we wanted. In all it was an enjoyable experience through out the whole project. I would not hesitate to have them work for us again on any building or remodeling project we may have in the future.

We had a deck and brick patio added to our lake home this summer, and it turned out fantastic! It's an extension of our home and adds wonderful entertaining and outdoor space that we were really missing out on prior to the install. The quality of the craftsmanship is exceptional and communication and professionalism were outstanding. Can't recommend highly enough. Hands down the best quality deck you can have built by anyone here is southwest Michigan.

Custom Design Group designed and installed a wonderful deck in our back yard. We waited for years to add a deck to our house because we could not find the right project designer. Barry is awesome! He took the time to answer all of our questions and designed an outdoor living space that is perfect for our home. Thanks so much, Barry. You and your daughter are the best!!

If you are looking to build a deck, or do any home renovation for that matter, Custom Design Group is the best! Not only were we amazed with our deck when it was finished, but we felt truly grateful to work with Barry and Meghan. As a team, they have a great eye for design and pride themselves in making your dream project come to fruition. Thank you Custom Design Group!

Barry and Custom Design Group did an excellent job. We were very pleased with the design and workmanship throughout the entire project. They were able to complete our deck on time and within budget. We would certainly recommend Custom Design Group to all of our friends and family. We are very happy with how our deck turned out. Thanks again for a job well done!

We sought an established local craftsman to rebuild our large, multi-leveled outdoor deck. Barry, owner of Custom Design Group, has 30 years of experience as a deck builder and does all the design-work and building himself. His portfolio illustrates dozens of designs and specialty projects he has completed. He utilizes the highest quality of decking material, all of which is pre-selected and identified by the home-owner. He provided us with a time-line 3 months in advance of our project date and stuck to it. Our old deck foundation proved to be unstable and Barry rebuilt it all within a few days of our time-line. Most importantly, Barry is a delight to work with and his craftsmanship is excellent. My wife and I are extremely satisfied with how his deck design and high quality work has added pleasure and value to our home.

We had Custom Design Services remove our old deck and build a new Trex deck. The new deck included more square feet and had the steps on the opposite side of the old one. This company worked very hard and did a wonderful job. It was a pleasure working with them and I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for quality.

We were very pleased with the work of Custom Design Group on our Trex composite deck. We have a tricky landscaping layout where the deck was to be built, and met with Barry several times during the planning process. We had an idea of what we wanted, and he was able to take our ideas and create this fabulous deck that we now can't imagine not having. Barry has a lot of experience and is very knowledgeable about the products he uses, such as the Trex composite. He is also very kind and professional, and strives for excellent customer service. It was a joy to have him, as well as Meghan and Nick, around while they were completing our project and the job was completed in a timely manner. We would highly recommend Custom Design Group to anyone looking to add a deck onto their home, and would definitely use them again!

Custom Design Group did a beautiful job redesigning and building our decks. I love that the person we met with was also the person who showed up on-site. They were very professional, conscientious, and skilled as well as showed up on the start date and finished on schedule. I have recommended them to friends and would hire them again.

My husband and I interviewed several contractors to build us a deck and none stood out like Custom Design Group. We were impressed with Barry's creative ideas. Barry and Meghan are true perfectionists. We now have a beautiful deck that we will enjoy for years to come. We plan on using Custom Design Group in the future.

A deck to last a lifetime! And the quality is unmatched. Barry started in February by shoveling mountains of snow to clear the ground so he could an early start, then he continued through the cold and finally a little warmth just to be done before the deadline as he promised. the quality of my deck is amazing right down to the details. I could not have had a better deck-building experience. He and his crew exceeded my expectations. Barry is clearly among the best in the business.

I hired the Custom Design Group, Barry and his partner (his daughter) to design and build a deck on the back of my home. The dimensions were 33' x 19'. Approximately 2' high of the existing patio. Custom Design Group's layout was better, imaginative and well thought out, but he also listed to everything my wife and I wanted in a deck. I had waited 14 years to do this and wanted it done right. I wanted no maintenance and Barry suggested Trex as the material that would be warrantied for 25 years and be maintenance free. He was right! The color combinations were outstanding and the deck was everything I was hoping for. I had contacted two other contractors, but they were not as professional in their presentation nor as knowledge of building decks. Custom Design Group was the best decision. They competed it it the time frame they quoted and it was exactly what my wife and I were anticipating. I can't possible describe just how happy we are with their work. If you want a deck; call Barry.

Barry at Custom Design Group resurfaced and expanded our deck, and built a block patio. The work was of high quality and the end result was fabulous.
