Building a Reputation That Lasts

Reputation isn’t built overnight—it’s earned through years of trust, dedication, and an unwavering commitment to doing what’s right. At Chesapeake Contracting Group, reputation is more than just a word; it’s the belief that every decision, action, interaction shapes not only our company’s legacy but the lives of those we work with. 

For Superintendent Carlos Torres-Degro, reputation is defined by integrity, mentorship, and an unrelenting pursuit of excellence. His leadership extends beyond the job site—he invests in those around him, guiding them with honesty and wisdom. His colleagues don’t just respect his experience; they admire the way he shares it. “Carlos is a straightforward individual who tells the truth and works collaboratively with his team,” said associate Adriano Sosa. “I have immense respect for his integrity and admire him not only as a person but also as a mentor.” His reputation precedes him, not because he demands it, but because he’s earned it. 

Carlos isn’t alone in shaping Chesapeake’s legacy. Across the company, we celebrate those whose dedication has cemented our standing as a trusted builder. From those reaching five years of service to those who have spent decades shaping Chesapeake’s success, each associate contributes to the company’s reputation in meaningful ways. Nate Heiner, who started at 18 under the mentorship of his uncle, now carries forward that tradition two decades later. Eric Bohns, once a laborer learning from his father, is now a leader in his own right. And Scott Peper, whose four decades of service have been instrumental in Chesapeake’s growth, stands as a testament to the power of dedication and consistency. Congratulations to this year’s service award recipients:

Reputation isn’t just about people—it’s about the impact we leave behind. The recently completed McDonogh School Berman Family Playground project is a perfect example. It wasn’t just about meeting deadlines or budgets; it was about delivering something that would bring joy to children for years to come. Jack Hardcastle, COO of McDonogh School, recognized this when he shared, “While CCG might have been like many contractors and merely paid attention to details, kept the project on schedule, and managed the project within our budget, the dedication that the Chesapeake team showed to the final product as a source of joy for children was outstanding.” The Chesapeake team, led by Jim Bohns, Megan Petrullo, and Will Stann, didn’t just build a playground; they built a lasting impression, one that solidifies our standing as a go-to general contractor in the education sector.  

Reputation is not just about what we do—it’s about how we do it. It’s the early mornings and late nights, the mentorship and teamwork, the commitment to going beyond what’s expected. It’s about earning trust every single day. At Chesapeake Contracting Group, our reputation isn’t just built on what we construct—it’s built on the people who make it all possible.
