Our Story

Cedar Ridge is on a mission to make a positive impact on the blue-collar industry. Andrew and Samuel Tvardzik were introduced to the industry by their father Andy Tvardzik. From him, the sons learned the ins and outs of what makes a builder excellent at his craft. Andy took great pride in quality over anything. After 22 years of building in the commercial world, Andy and his sons were ready for a new challenge and new environment for their kids and grandkids to grow up in, outside of the metropolitan bustle. The Appalachian mountains surrounding Deep Creek lake provided the perfect opportunity for them to explore new expressions of creativity and craft and leave a positive impact directly on people’s lives. Cedar Ridge has since grown well beyond the original 3 founders and carries on its mission to positively impact rural development while taking the time to understand their customers’ vision and providing dignified jobs for the craftsmen that live in this beautiful piece of America. 

The Founding of Cedar Ridge

On a family trip, the Tvardzik family fell in love with the Deep Creek region and all it has to offer. Initially, they planned to construct a log home for their own personal family gatherings and vacations. As the building process progressed, they decided this joy was something that could be shared with the world. Together, they founded Cedar Ridge. This experience delivered the ideal balance of challenge and beauty, being able to embrace the details that make each home a unique expression of mountain living. 

Our Mission

We built this business from the ground up, driven by a desire to reimagine what the Luxury Log Home process can offer. Our foundation of in-house design and build services allows us to provide an excellent alternative for buyers looking for a more efficient and effective process. We’ve predicated our rapid growth on care for our team, with a strong appreciation for timely quality and benefits to ensure we draw in and retain the industry’s best. At its core, our mission is to channel our passion into creating homes where you’ll be proud to make memories for generations to come.
