What our residential remodeling customers had to say

Home Renovation

Hi Dave,

I just wanted to thank you again for the great job you and your crew did with our basement. We’re very pleased with the way it turned out and it’s been a big hit with the boys and their friends. I really appreciate how well-organized and efficient everything was under your guidance, from working with the vendors to knowing about the next steps/processes – it was all much easier than anticipated. Thanks also for the paint suggestions and for painting on your days off.

When you send us the warranty information, can you also include a brochure or a business card? I have a friend who is considering remodeling her kitchen and I would like to pass along your company’s information. Thanks again!

Take care,
Lauren & Ben

Bathroom Renovation

Bob, Ed, and Dave,

We are anticipating that our bathroom remodeling project will be complete in the next day or two. Our house has been a mess, but, it has been worth it: our bathrooms look amazing!

From the very beginning, we felt well taken care of and respected. From the thoroughness of the estimate to the concern for finishing detail, it has been a pleasure to work with all of you. The process of choosing all of the elements for each bathroom was also smooth and enjoyable. Wayne Staley at Potomac Tile and Carpet, Leslie Gordon at Noland, and Bill Putiri at Cabinet Discounters were all extremely helpful talking through ideas and giving suggestions. The completed tile work, Howard's plumbing work, and Nathan's electrical work have added so much to the two spaces. We also appreciate the days Howard put in to re-plumb our entire home.

Every person who has stopped by to see the bathrooms has agreed: fantastic!

Thank you,
Anne and Michael G.

I wanted to send a quick note to let you, Dave and the rest of the team know how pleased we were with our experience using Talon Construction. As you know, we have had bad experiences in the past with other contractors who have taken way longer than the agreed upon time to finish their jobs and have not had a great attention to detail. That was not the case at all with Talon. We were refreshed with the open communication, the promptness of delivery and the courtesy of the crew. We are extremely happy with our basement, powder room and sunroom renovations. We will definitely use Talon again for home projects in the future!

Dave,

Ed was here today so Bruce and I were able to tell him how happy we are with our bathroom renovation. But we want to make sure you know how pleased we are with the way it turned out and also want to thank you for your part in the process. You have been great to work with and we appreciate how you communicated every step of the way so we weren't left guessing or worrying. All of your crew and the subs were always polite and helpful. Please thank them for keeping our house as clean as they could. Also, we appreciate your help with the siding - thanks for throwing that in.

The bathroom looks awesome. We've already told our neighbors and friends how happy we are with Talon. Thanks for everything.

Thank you. As usual, Talon did a wonderful job. Everything is as perfect as human hands can make. We need to redo the front porch and look forward to having Talon back for that a bit later in the year. By the way … the bathroom looks incredibly good!

We are writing to convey our compliments to Talon for outstanding work in finishing our basement. This was a major undertaking and your team and subcontractors did the job beautifully … within the time frame promised and with virtually zero difficulties. We also want you to know that you have every reason to be proud of the team who made this project happen. We know we made the right decision in selecting Talon as our contractor.

Talon is not only an excellent construction company, but also a great integrator of a myriad of products to form a top-notch finished product. Congratulations on a job very well done.  We will be pleased to serve as references.

George and Mary, Thurmont, MD

Home Renovation

Thank you for a job well done in transforming our old greenhouse into a delightful living space.  We appreciate Talon’s attention to detail on our small project that involved a great deal of coordination of the many trades involved.

Marty deserves special recognition for his dedication in making our job a pleasant experience as well as bringing it to successful completion. When the going had the potential to get tough, Marty just got it going and always made sure things got done right.

Not only was the work finely crafted, but was noteworthy further for the fact that the job site was left cleaner than when they arrived

We wish you continued success in all your endeavors and look forward to discussing our next project with you soon.

Kitchen Renovation

Hi folks --- I wanted to thank Talon for the excellent work performed on our renovation. I know we have been difficult clients and quite demanding at times. Everybody at Talon has done an excellent job to make us happy with everything. We’re looking forward to cooking up many nice meals in our new kitchen and many hours relaxing on our new deck.  Again … many thanks.

George and I wanted to thank you so much for our beautiful new kitchen. It all went so smoothly thanks to Talon’s guidance and careful planning. Everyone involved in installing the cabinets worked so hard … three days from tear-out to installation! As for the rest of the job, everyone was polite, reliable and did their work to our complete satisfaction.

Thanks again for a very pleasant experience and a well-built kitchen we will enjoy for many years to come.

Please feel free to use us as references for future work. We are so pleased and happy to share that satisfaction with anyone you think would be interested.

Anne & George, New Market, MD

Kitchen Remodel

We wanted to thank you for remodeling our kitchen. We couldn’t be happier with it. Your expertise and service is exceptional. All the way through from start to finish we knew we were in capable hands. Your design suggestions combined with our ideas and wishes created a work of are that we will enjoy for years to come. Even our neighbors, many of whom have had experiences with home remodeling were amazed at the dedication of your fine company. We have and will continue to recommend your company and crew to all our friends and neighbors. We also plan to report your good service on Angie’s List … one of the resources we used to find you.

Thank you again for all your efforts. It was such a pleasure to work with you all. We will thank you again in person when we have you all over for an “open kitchen” likely in early March.

Julie & Jim, Frederick, MD

Home Renovation

Thank you so much for your help in getting an electrician to our home and getting our new pool light up. It looks great.  Although a small project, it was handled professionally and promptly.  You all are great! Please feel free to use us as a reference … we would love to talk about how wonderful Talon is!

Melissa, Frederick, MD

Kitchen Renovation

We could never thank Talon enough for all the hard work put forth on our new kitchen project. We hesitated on going forward with the project until we called Talon. We knew than that we had found the right company for the job from the very first meeting.

Marty was our project manager & had everyone here that would be involved on the first day to go over the plans & schedule for the new kitchen (a schedule that they stuck by!!!)

The communication they had was truly amazing as well as the craftsmanship. The end result is more than we could have hoped for. We love our kitchen and would highly recommend Talon Construction to anyone who wanted to start any project … big or small.

Thanks again to all involved!

Ellie & Blair, Adamstown, MD

Commercial Renovation

Thank you for making our spring building renovation a success!  With the generous support of Talon Construction, we have successfully rejuvenated our 10 year old building.  But you and I both know Heartly House is much more than just a building. For more than 25 years, Heartly House has been caring for Frederick’s survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse.

On behalf of Heartly House, I would like to acknowledge Talon Construction for generously donating cabinets and providing kitchen/general contracting trade work.

Again, thank you for helping us to make a difference for the clients wee serve.

BRM, CEO, Heartly House

Home Renovation

Phase one of our construction is almost complete. Both Tom and I wanted to tell you how pleased we are with Talon Construction and in particular those responsible for our addition.  While no construction is without challenges, we are thrilled with the outcome. …everyone who even came close to this project went above and beyond to make sure the job was completed to our satisfaction.

Phase II is scheduled to start in June and we look forward to Marty coming back with his crew to ensure that the job gets done right.

Amy & Tom, Frederick, MD

Basement Finishing

We want to express a sincere thank you for doing an excellent job finishing our basement. The criteria we looked for in a general contractor were quite evident in Talon Construction and you surpassed our expectations from the start.

Specifically, licensing, communication, quality of work, experience, consistency and timely completion were all stand-out attributes you easily exceeded

We also wanted to thank you for your guidance both as we reviewed the plans and during construction in order to decide what we wanted to include in the basement. Your opinions and experience helped us tremendously! This was priceless information as we have=d never undertaken such a project.

Once again, thank you all.

Deb & Michael, N. Potomac, MD

Just an update on the progress of the basement. The flooring people were here Monday and Tuesday and the place looks great. Thanks once again for all your guys hard work. The basement is great!

(The following is the reply sent to a potential client (Ernie) who contacted :Randy" for a reference on Talon)
Good afternoon Ernie,

I hope you enjoyed the nice spring weekend. We selected Talon for our complex addition based upon my careful research and knowledge of Frederick County Maryland homebuilders. Talon has been rated #1 for the past 3 years in Frederick Magazine. A key factor was a colleague of mine who was delighted with the addition Talon completed for her in Montgomery County. I highly endorse the design/build concept; otherwise I believe that we would have ended up with a box instead of an aesthetic addition to complement our existing home. Our home, on 45 acres in Southern Frederick County, is an American Four Square built in 1920. The house has distinctive millwork such as chestnut baseboard molding and chestnut colonnades with heart of pine floors throughout. My wife’s mantra throughout the design and construction was “make it match the existing home”. The workmanship was exquisite such that the addition completely interdigitates with the preexisting structure with all the woodwork matching perfectly (ash was used because it most closely resembles chestnut which is no longer available). We intend to contract with Talon again to renovate the bathrooms and attic, which again will require their imagination to adhere to my wife’s directive. Very best regards.

Randy

(The following was received by Talon from Randy)
I would be remiss if, after all the emails of questions and concerns, I did not express my sincerest appreciation for all of your courtesy, consideration and cooperation. You are the penultimate professionals in the home building business. Marisa and I will soon occupy an addition that exceeds our expectations and will provide comfort for many years to come.

Randy & Marisa, Adamstown, MD

Basement Finishing

We are so thrilled with the basement. It's everything we wanted and more! I'm not sure who'll be down there more - us or the kids! We'd be happy to be a reference for Talon. It was a pleasure working with everyone on your team. Thanks again and wish everyone a very happy Thanksgiving from all of us.

Thank you!
