Talon Construction Inc.

Talon updated our family room fireplace, three bedrooms and two bathrooms. This was our third project with Talon and when our next home remodeling project comes up, we will be back with Talon for our fourth. The crews are respectful, care about your home and the outcome of the job, paying attention to every detail. All projects have issues and when they happen, the crews and back office work professionally to determine the best path forward for everyone involved (not just the company). They work on their reputation and will go above and beyond to protect it. They won't be the cheapest, but if you believe "you get what you pay for" Talon is worth it.

We highly recommend Talon Construction when you are seeking a contractor to design, manage and construct your remodeling project. Talon provided us with professional service from start to finish. Darren and Jenny guided us through the design and contract definition phase. James as our project supervisor, who saved the day on many occasions providing solutions, workarounds, flexibility, all with a positive attitude for 16 weeks - including three snowstorms that challenged all of us. Jake and Luis were an incredibly efficient team during demolition, build up, and cabinet install. This was a complete tear down and reconstruct of our kitchen and it was completed with minimal delays (mostly weather related), on budget and we couldn't be more pleased with the result. Attention to detail, quality workmanship and sincerely wanting to provide the customer with an excellent finished product made Talon the perfect choice to give us the kitchen we always dreamed of having.

If I could give Talon Construction more than five stars, I absolutely would. From the very beginning, the entire team was professional, coordinated, and incredibly knowledgeable. They somehow turned what is typically a very stressful process into a smooth and collaborative one. We interviewed nine contractors before choosing Talon for what started as a three-bathroom and kitchen renovation and ultimately evolved into a full gut renovation of our home. Talon stood out immediately as the most professional and detail-oriented team we met. We first connected with Darren in 2023, and his depth of knowledge was apparent from the beginning. He pointed out practical design considerations and code requirements that other contractors had missed. We went back and forth on the scope for over a year, and he was consistently patient, responsive, and generous with his time. He never rushed us and always made himself available to answer questions. We started construction in August 2025-- The construction crew had an excellent work ethic. They arrived early and worked hard - something even our neighbors commented on. They took pride in their work and paid close attention to details. The workmanship was just excellent. The work site was consistently clean and organized. They did a great job at handling unexpected situations and communicating that to me. Eddie took the time to explain everything thoroughly before moving forward. Even when we made scope changes, they were flexible and incorporated those changes without making it feel stressful or complicated. And probably the thing that impressed me the most was that they ran the whole project with integrity. They uncovered an improperly vented dryer which was a fire hazard and promptly brought it up to code. There were other moments like this throughout the project- too many to fully capture here – that consistently reinforced how much they value doing things the right way. I have to mention Eddie who was incredible throughout the entire process. He was calm, responsive and communicated clearly. He seriously made the entire project enjoyable. They were fair and transparent when it came to pricing and change orders. But more than anything, what I appreciated the most was their integrity, professionalism and genuinely caring about doing a good job. Everyone- Ed, Paul, Darren, Eddie and the construction crew were top notch. We honestly couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. I would highly recommend Talon and would definitely work with them again! Thank you Talon!

We hired Talon Construction to finish our roughly 1000 square foot unfinished basement. Talon did a wonderful job constructing a washer/dryer room with copious shelving, a great room equipped with a sink, mini-refrigerator, cabinets and counter top. In addition, a separate a large bedroom/hobby area was built with an adjoining beautiful full bathroom and shower. Behind the great room and bathroom was a large separate storage/workbench area. While the project took a few weeks longer than anticipated, Talon employees were always onsite. The Talon team consisted of long time, professional and personable employees, from the design team to the framers and carpenters. They cleaned up every day before leaving, were always approachable to answer questions and open to making some changes along the way. Tiling, flooring, HVAC, electrical and plumbing work were performed by well-established and truly professional subcontractors. All subcontractors were excellent. The project passed all rigorous building codes. We are very, very happy with our new finished basement, and would gladly hire Talon again.

Talon recently completed a beautiful sunroom and master bathroom remodeling project for our house, and the job they did was nothing less than sensational, starting with Brian and Jenny who worked closely with us to develop a design that brought to life what we hoped to accomplish. Matt supervised the build with exceptional attention to detail, and his team of Dylan and Luis were meticulous in carrying out the daily construction work – including a bump-out at the front of the house . The build required key decisions at various points, and Matt consulted with us each step of the way. The result - our new sunroom and bathroom turned out more beautiful than we had imagined, and because of excellent attention to detail the final cost came in slightly under original estimate. We’re happy with the outcome and it goes without saying we recommend Talon for home remodeling and construction projects. They are a company of true professionals.

This was our second time with Talon Construction. The project was a porch remodel where sliding glass doors were replaced with a wall of six foot glass picture windows. A garden window was added to one end. The floor was tiled with in-floor heating and cabinets added. Talon's work is exceptional. The crew is meticulous, very polite and left the work area clean every day. We are extremely pleased with the result. If we had another project, Talon would be the first contractor we would consider for it.

We wanted to age in place in our existing home so we decided to add a ground floor master suite with an accessible bathroom, a laundry closet, walk-in closet, and a bumpout solarium/seating area. Our charge to Talon was that the addition should look like it has always been there, and it does. From our first contact to the project's completion, everyone at Talon was superb. It was almost like they were family. Great communication from all concerned every step of the way and they went above and beyond to ensure that there was a minimal disruption to our daily lives. By the time the project was completed, the addition looks like it has always been there and we love it. If we ever have another project, Talon will be our first call.

We have used Talon for three different projects over the past 12 years including a new master bathroom and a major kitchen renovation. We have been extremely pleased every time! The Talon leadership and other team members are true professionals. They go above and beyond to satisfy their clients. I highly recommend Talon Construction!

We couldn’t be happier with the addition to our home! From start to finish, the entire experience was a 5 star success. The design process was incredibly thorough and actually fun! It felt like a true collaboration where our ideas were heard and improved upon. Once construction began the builders and sub contractors were professional, efficient and kept the job remarkably clean every day. Communication was top notch through. We were never left wondering about the next steps. Most importantly the project was completed on schedule.

Talon provided a well designed and constructed screened in room and patio. Their work was well done and all issues were addressed in a timely matter. This was our fourth project with Talon. Their carpenters are craftsmen and enjoy translating the design into reality. They employ quality subcontractors for the speciality needs.

I recently (Feb. - April 2024) had a full demo and remodel of two small 1967 bathrooms into one regular sized bathroom. I chose Talon as they were recommended by a neighbor who had a basement renovation. The entire process was incredibly smooth from the first day to the last, and I couldn't be more happy with the results. If you want a professional experience that is worry-free, then Talon Construction is the way to go. If you want to be kept in the loop on a daily basis about what is occurring with the construction, then Talon is your choice. I wouldn't hesitate to have them come back to work on another project. Their entire team was amazing.

Excellent company. They did a fantastic job adding an addition to my historic home. The work was careful and precise. They were prompt, courteous and always kept me apprised of progress and issues. Friends and professionals alike have praised the job they did. I would definitely consider Talon for my next job.

We decided that we were going to do a major renovation of my parent’s original stone rancher that was built in 1960. We selected Talon as a result of a strong reference. Talon worked closely with us over the past two years to design, demo and a major rebuild which included two additions and a substantial greatroom project. This also included a total infrastructure replacement of electrical, plumbing and heating/cooling. We decided to proceed with a complete geothermal heating/cooling system. We were incredibly pleased with the professionalism of all aspects of talon’s team and respective subcontractors. The final outcome of this substantial remodel/rebuild exceeded our initial objectives. Clearly a Wow factor with the 14 foot high vaulted ceilings which consisted of custom built red oak ceiling beams and paddle fans with a custom build sliding barn door and red oak shiplap wall in entertainment area. Kudos to the whole team. Many thanks

We were very impressed with Talon. The work was very high quality, and there was a lot of attention paid to detail. We worked with them both for the design and build of a second floor bump out and main bath renovation. Brian paid close attention to our wants during the design phase and Paul kept us up to date on each step of the construction phase. We have no complaints and will call Talon first next time we need any home remodeling work.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Talon Construction for the renovation of my basement, which included the addition of a home theater. From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of exceptional, leaving me thoroughly impressed and delighted with the results. First and foremost, the professionalism exhibited by Talon's subcontractors was outstanding. Each member of the team demonstrated a high level of skill, expertise, and attention to detail throughout every stage of the project. From the initial planning and design phase to the final touches, their dedication to quality craftsmanship was evident. One aspect that particularly impressed me was their consideration for my pets. As a dog owner, I was concerned about how the construction work would impact my two energetic Jack Russells. To my surprise and delight, the team went above and beyond by constructing a temporary fence to ensure the safety and well-being of my pets. This thoughtful gesture not only alleviated my worries but also reflected their commitment to customer satisfaction and going the extra mile. The transformation of my basement into a home theater exceeded my expectations. The attention to detail in every aspect of the design, from the acoustics to the lighting, created an immersive cinematic experience right in the comfort of my own home. The craftsmanship in the construction of the theater itself was impeccable, resulting in a space that not only looks stunning but also functions flawlessly. Throughout the project, communication with Talon was clear and consistent. They kept me informed every step of the way, addressing any concerns or questions I had promptly and professionally. This level of transparency and responsiveness fostered a sense of trust and confidence in their abilities, making the entire remodeling process smooth and stress-free. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Talon to anyone seeking a reliable and reputable construction company for their remodeling needs. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to customer satisfaction set them apart from the rest. Thanks to their expertise, my basement has been transformed into a home theater haven that exceeds my wildest dreams.

Superior workmanship, quality subcontractors, and managers who will not rest until everything is to your satisfaction. We LOVE our kitchen! Talon is the best!

We hired Talon construction to design and build a garage addition. They did an excellent job from design to finish. There was clear communication, professionalism and excellent work quality. They were quick to respond to any question or concern we had. The foreman James went the extra mile! Our addition fits perfectly with our house! We 100% recommend them for your build project.

We interviewed several companies to contract the complete gut and renovation of our kitchen and additional work in our family room and the creation of a screened-in porch. The design process helped us understand what would and wouldn’t work and we ultimately chose Talon for our project. We very much enjoyed working with the entire team, from design and pricing to project management and working with all the carpenters and contractors. We worked also directly with management on certain items. The process was smooth and the work is pristine. We couldn’t be happier with how it all turned out. Thank you to the entire Talon team for your professionalism and high-quality work product.

We have had the pleasure of working with Talon Construction twice over the last two years on major home renovation projects. The first project was a complete master bathroom tear out and renovation AND a full finished basement addition. The second project was a full kitchen tear out and remodel. Our house is almost 30 years old an was in need of some major renovation. Needless to say the entire process went smooth and on schedule. Our house is now more upscale than the model homes in our area. We also loved that we could customize anything we wanted. We would highly recommend Talon Construction and wouldn't hesitate to use them again!

Talon Construction is high quality from start to finish. We hired Talon to build the interior of the second floor. They sat down and helped us visualize and design the rooms. When the builders came, they didn't just follow the plans blindly but recommended changes to make it a better living space. We appreciated that very much. They kept in constant communication with us to keep us informed on what was going to happen next. When they gave us a date, they met that date. Their workers were polite and kept the workspace clean. When they were done, we had a beautiful new upstairs that exceeded our expectations. It is more than we could ever imagine. We highly recommend Talon Construction for building projects and would definitely use them again.

Communication was excellent. Eddie was fantastic letting us know what was accomplished each day and what would be going on the next day. The crews were very respectful of our house and made sure to cover the carpet before working on everything. The bathroom was complete gutted and redone. Talon construction took our vision and made it a reality. The bathroom looks brighter, bigger and all around better. I would absolutely hire these guys again to work on our house.

Talon completed 2 bathroom renovations and a kitchen backsplash. They were very professional and outlined the required work and cost. They had a detailed contract which had no surprises. As the job progressed, problems with my house were found and Talon went above and beyond to deal with Frederick authorities and bring everything to code. Their work was perfect and I will contract them again for my next project. All the workmen were cordial and very pleasant. We enjoyed seeing them each day.

Talon was professional from start to finish. We had a project that took over a year to complete and were able to keep healthy and open communications. Talon finished the project when they said they would and were very trustworthy. Talon was always willing to address any questions that we had. We receive lots of complements on the finish and detail work by Talon. You can't go wrong with Talon.

We hired Talon because they are the best, most top-rated contractor in our area. This gave us peace of mind during the project and our high expectations were met in every way. Our team was wonderful to work with. Any issues, no matter how small, were addressed. The finished project is beyond our wildest dreams - beautiful, functional, and certainly has increased our property value.

I cannot thank Talon Construction enough for the beautiful addition they designed and built. During the entire process Paul was extremely patient and great at setting expectations. He kept me calm during the long approval process. Brian took my requests and created a beautiful and perfect design of what I had envisioned. Then I was lucky enough to have Professional Carpenters Steve and Mike create what Brian designed into a beautiful two room addition with foyer, patio, and deck. They are truly masters at what they do. Their attention to detail and craftsmanship is just amazing. They took pride in their work as if they were working on their own home. Eddie handled the scheduling and timing of all the different projects- materials, framing, insulation, electrical work, sprinklers, drywall, flooring, painting, HVAC, and all the inspections too. Eddie kept the entire project going and had it finished on time! And thanks to Ed who was the organizer and behind the scenes guy. He handled the stressful part by keeping detailed records of the entire project. I will be using Talon Construction for future projects. Paul, Brian, Steve, Mike, Eddie, Ed, Zach (flooring) , Bob (patio), the very skilled Painter, and all the professional subcontractors-together they created my forever home for me and my family.

Talon did a great job on our bathrooms. we really liked their design suggestions and their staff who worked in our house were professional and friendly. All the work was high quality and we are very happy with the result. They also worked with us to stay in budget.

Talon just completed remodeling of our kitchen, laundry room and powder room, About 5 years ago they remodeled our master bath. They worked with us from design to completion and ensured we were completely satisfied at every step in the process. The quality of the work by the Talon Team and the Subcontractors was outstanding. The attention to every detail by the Talon craftsman and I sincerely mean craftsman, and their subcontractors was amazing, without compromise and at a fair price. Every member of the Team was a pleasure to work with, truly cared and was proud of the quality of their work. I would not hesitate to work with them again.

We loved working with Talon for our kitchen and sunroom renovation. From the start to the end of the project we worked with the same few folks (Val, Eddie, Dave, Ed) who were great and helped us tremendously through our first experience with renovation. The informal estimate of possible scope, cost and timing from the very first day was incredibly precise and thoughtful. All sub company's we're trusted, high quality. I think it's their motto, but the results did make us love our house again.

Talon staff was very professional, and you felt comfortable with them in your home. Good trust factor there from design to the construction crew. and vendors (Bill Putiri w/ Cabinet Discounters and Hagerstown Kitchen). Great follow up with some loose ends that needed taken care of. We Loved the vision from the start with Paul & Brian and giving us ideas on the design, my sunroom opening was not centered, they re-centered it and the flow and light is amazing now. Love my wrap around cabinets too, the beautiful counter-tops too.. Big shout out to Hagerstown Kitchen. My old cabinets look as good as the new ones... great quality. Our Kitchen turned out absolutely beautiful. Worth all the stress and worry... The change was well worth it! Thank you Talon Construction!

Talon Construction is the tops! When other construction companies had no time to deal with me, Talon stepped up! From expert cost estimates (which will not nickel and dime you), to the expert on-site management (Hutch was amazing), to the actual work performed, and finally to the financial management of billing (Ed was totally on the job), Talon was on the mark!!! You can not go wrong with Talon! The final product speaks for the professionalism, pride, and expertise that is TALON! We are Hive Bake Shop located in Brunswick, MD call us if you need additional information or pop in if you want to see the before and after photos! Amazing transformation!!!

Kitchen Renovation We have recently had our kitchen totally gutted and renovated by Talon Construction and from design to demolition through installation and completion of the project, the company has been very helpful, professional, and flexible. The designer worked with us to not only develop our vision of a kitchen, which accommodated our needs, but also to create a room of beauty and function. The construction team, with plumbers, electricians, cabinet builders, tile installers, floor refinishers and the appliance company, were all coordinated by our superintendent like a conductor with his orchestra. We are delighted with the outcome as it is beautiful and reflects our casual, but busy lifestyle.

Lovely results as expected. True to estimated time and cost of completion. Easy to communicate with team and change orders when needed. Minimal disruption to our daily life. Tidy and professional.

Everyone at talon is professional and attentive to detail. When problems came up they were addressed right away to our satisfaction! The quality of work is top notch. The job was finished on time and as promised. Enjoyed working with everyone at talon, from the office staff to site workers. Can’t say enough good things about our experience. Thank you Bob, Brian, Ed, Eddie, Mike, Steve etc!

Talon has done several projects on our house over the years. Each one was completed to our complete satisfaction. They are a great when it comes to help with planning the job so it will be successful. Over the duration of the job, things happen mostly when they say they will happen, and their subs are very professional.

When I bought a new house in Thurmont this year, it had an ugly combined powder room-laundry room that I knew I needed to divide and renovate. Talon did a great job on designing a separation of the powder room from the laundry room, and on all phases of planning and construction. They turned the worn tile floor into a continuation of the hardwood floors in the rest of my house. No seam or transition is visible - I didn't know this was possible! All the new fixtures are great, and I particularly like the sliding barn door Talon included as part of the renovation. I felt that I got a very good value for what I paid for the project.

I own my own Woodworking/cabinet business and have done work for Talon Construction on numerous occasions. They always keep their schedules and do a top notch job. I am so happy to do work for them and their great work reflects on my own personal work. I can’t say enough great things about Talon Constuction and everyone who works there.

Talon was an excellent choice for our remodeling - from designing to finish. Good suggestions, respectful and very skilled workers and everyone I had contact with was professional. Absolutely will be using Talon again for future projects

Talon Construction built our dream kitchen. The Talon crew and their subcontractors are true professionals. Their meticulous work is the best.

My husband and I were extremely satisfied with the project done by Talon Construction. From our first meeting to final cleanup, everything was handled very professionally. Paul and Eddie listened to our ideas and made it all happen beautifully. They worked hard to get the project done within our time frame and our budget. We are extremely satisfied and love our new bedroom and bathroom!

Excellent craftsmanship, pride in their work! I'm the owner of a thriving real estate company, and I would hands down recommend Talon to anyone looking to complete a project - large or small. All the work is not shown here, although the big project was adding this screened in porch. We were able to customize the design of the work to fit the needs of our lifestyle. Where you see dirt in these pictures is where a large deck existed prior to them demolishing it for the project. We started in the winter, and gave a deadline/wish for April 1st.......the job was done on time as expected. You pay for what you get, here you get quality....hand holding...excellent customer service - the whole package!

Well done from start to finish. Would hire this company again and highly recommend. See additional comments on our Facebook review.

Talon built a sunroom addition on the back of our house. The addition is beautiful. The company was very easy to work with. They provided thorough communication every step of the project. The workers did quality work. They were efficient and cleaned up daily. The supervisors were always available to discuss any questions or concerns throughout the project. We would definitely hire Talon again for a future home improvement project.

Just wanted to take some time to let Talon know how pleased we are with our condo renovation. Talon paid attention to detail, was easy to deal with, communicated professionally and when issues came up, was fair, thoughtful and creative. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Talon to anyone who is considering a renovation or construction job. Should we need additional services, we surely will contact Talon.

We hired Talon to finish our basement. From the first meeting with designers to the moment they put the finishing touches on our house, we were very impressed. They catered to our every request without delay and all of the subs were top notch. We are already thinking about the next project we will have Talon back for!

We recently used Talon Construction for a complete master bath renovation. The end product is wonderful! I am quite picky about details and the finished product is to my complete satisfaction. We were impressed with the professionalism of all Talon employees. They were willing to work with my design changes and workers sought my input at every stage. Our project manager, Marty, was immediately responsive to calls and concerns along the way. They tidied up thoroughly at the end of each day -a real plus. We would not hesitate to use Talon again for a future project.

We are in the business of custom kitchen design and supplying custom cabinetry. We have had the pleasure to work with Talon Construction Inc. on several jobs in the last year. They are everything that we could ask for in a general contractor. Their work is outstanding. They are very precise and everything that they do seems to be well planned. They are also adept at quickly resolving unexpected issues that are a fact of life with remodeling. From our end, we are delighted with their beautiful installations of our cabinetry. They execute even our most complex plans to perfection. They take pride in their high work and are focused on satisfying their clients. And perhaps the most rewarding part of working with Talon is that they are professional, honest and genuinely nice people. We highly recommend Talon Construction.

We recently completed an extensive master bath renovation (complete gut job) with Talon Construction. Once our contract was ironed out, everything was smooth sailing and transparent with respect to product allowances, billing, and work being warranted. The foreman and crew were very professional, highly skilled, tidy and super pleasant to work with. Plus, having the job completed right on schedule was a nice bonus. If ever we were to tackle another reno we definitely would go with Talon again (even to the point of requesting the exact same crew). While the process was somewhat tedious to live through, I have to say that we are very pleased with our gorgeous new bathroom!

Talon finished our basement and did an amazing job! They were very professional and all the contractors they had helping with the project were on top of everything. I would definitely recommend them for any remodeling.

I have worked with Talon Construction for several years, and they have always done an excellent job on my projects. I often recommend them to clients as a possible builder, and I have never had a disappointed client. Bob is great working with homeowners on the project, with a very positive attitude about everything. Talon Construction is always able to keep us aware of progress and budget on a project, with regular progress updates and Bob, Dave, and Ed will let us know when they need a decision on our end, which is critical to keeping a project on schedule. They think carefully about the best way to approach a project, studying the drawings and the scope of work, and I always welcome their building suggestions since it often results in a better end result. They are also willing to work through a construction challenge with the entire team-remodeling older houses is tricky due to hidden problems, and we all work together to find the best, most economical solution. Finally, the finished product is high quality and the trim work is excellent. I couldn't recommend them more. Will Cawood, RA

We can't say enough good things about Talon. Bob, Ed and Dave are true professionals and made the process of finishing our basement a pleasure. We interviewed three companies, Talon was not the cheapest but definitely the best. Our basement project was approx 1100 sf, creating a large media room, storage areas, office, full bath, and space for future gym and bar. Talon helped refine our 'wish list' into workable spaces, and spaces that worked with our budget. Framing began in February 2015, on the exact date promised. Dave is a fantastic project manager - always checking in with us at the end of the day to get our approval on the progress and willing to make changes. All of the employees who were in our house during those 7 weeks were polite and respectful. Ed came by on a regular basis to keep us updated on expenditures and payments due. The project was completed on time and within budget. Remodeling projects are more than just dates and number$. With Talon, we hired a company that understood our vision and earned our complete trust and confidence. * Special thanks to Michelle Belsito's Decorating Den Interiors for her spot-on expertise with design and color consultation (so many choices!) - and Juliana Wiedemann of WERCO Carpet in Rockville - we get many compliments on the selections :)

Created an addition using the original footprint of the house by raising the roof line and adding 3 bathrooms, 2 bedrooms with walk in closets, laundry area, kids playroom, enlarged the mudroom, new stairway and railings and created a new attic space. Garage was also utilized for support beams and the entire garage was repainted and looks like new! Added hardwood floor all throughout the 2nd floor in the addition and in the existing bedrooms, hall and landing areas. They were able to match the current brick exterior and roofing making the addition look like it was part of the original construction. Excellent local company to work with. Project manager and team were very experienced professionals. Subcontractors were also long time partners of the company. They worked to develop a design that met our needs. Any issues that arose during construction were solved by the team to our satisfaction. Quality work! Well thought out design. Materials utilized were of good quality. We hope to utilize Talon again for a future construction project and would not hesitate to recommend them.

I just don't have enough stars to express how wonderful my experience has been! From the initial meeting, through the design process, and even including the last walk through, the team at Talon displayed exceptional creativity, clear and frequent communication, quality workmanship, attention to detail, pure professionalism. I couldn't be happier with my decision to use them for my project. There is a reason they are rated as Frederick's #1 Carpenter/Home Improvement team. I'm a happy, happy homeowner again.

We highly recommend Talon Construction. They were organized, transparent, reasonably priced and very client friendly. Most importantly, they did a fantastic job with our basement. Organized – As soon as we called them, Talon set up an appointment to get measurements of our basement. This was our first major home improvement project, so we were unsure what to expect. Talon comprehensively detailed their general process and plan for projects. We were very nicely surprised when they designed three very good and detailed plans for the look of our basement without even a commitment from us to engage them. This immediately put us at ease and fostered our sense of trust in the company. Transparent – At the onset, Talon was very upfront about the costs of the project. Shortly after taking measurements, Talon provided us with a written estimate. While other contractors we engaged also provided us with costs, the thing that set Talon apart was that it provided detailed and specific descriptions for each part of the project (e.g., identifying what came with the costs), including allowances for specific portions of the project (i.e., flooring, cabinets, bathroom/fixtures). These allowances were generally generous, and covered much of the higher end materials we chose - if we chose items that were below the allowances, those amounts came back to us. Reasonably Priced – The written estimate that we received was better than the majority of the other contractors that we considered. They stuck to the estimate and the only costs that went over were when we chose higher end items for our bathroom and flooring. Very Client Friendly – Talon did not pressure us to make a decision on what items we wanted or on our timeframes. When the project started, they let us know far in advance when we needed to make our selections by, so they could complete the project on time. Also, they were always willing to answer questions thoughtfully, with the attitude that no question is too dumb to answer. In addition, when the basement was complete, they came back during the spring to repair grass that was trodden on during the renovation. They also assured us a return visit in the winter (after one season of settling). If anything goes wrong, we feel confident that Talon would come back to address the issue. They were really just a great pleasure to work with. Another thing that we liked about Talon is their business structure. The three individuals we worked with throughout the process each had a stake in the company, and accordingly, had a stake in the outcome of the basement. We believe that this structure made a big difference. If we had to identify issues with Talon, we would say: 1) Some of their contractors were located far from our house – this probably helped defray some of the costs of the project but made some of our selections a bit inconvenient as we had to travel to Frederick and Mount Airy to make them – a small price to pay but one thing to keep in mind; 2) One should have an idea of how the style of the basement should look when hiring Talon. Although they gave us multiple ideas on the architecture, we had to make many of the choices ourselves with slight input. This is different from some other firms we looked at that would provide interior designers/stylists that would help us make the decisions – again, this probably helped with reducing costs. Overall, we were very pleased with the work of Talon. We set high expectations for the company after hearing great things about them, and were very pleasantly surprised when they exceeded those expectations.

I have been blessed for the last 8 years to be able to work with Talon Construction and their clients to provide cabinets and counter tops for various remodeling projects. Talon is by far the most experienced and well organized design build firm that I have had the pleasure of working with. Everything they do is with the highest quality in mind as evidenced by their many awards from local publications and their industry peers. I look forward to working with them and their clients for many years to come.

Talon Construction finished our basement. They did a wonderful job. They were very easy to work with and very accommodating. We would hire them again.

Talon Construction Inc. is one of the greatest construction companies in the area and we are fortunate to have a construction company of their caliber available to us in the Washington DC Metropolitan area. My husband and I came to know Talon at a time of real crisis - while on vacation approximately 80% of our home was destroyed when a toilet fill-valve broke and many thousands of water ( WSSC estimated approximately 58,000 gallons) flowed through our home over a 10 day period. Talon came to our rescue. They under-bid another company by $75,000; their expertise in dealing with home owner's insurance was extensive, and an agreement with the insurance company was reached in a reasonable amount of time. Their workers from top down were top-notch professionals, who came highly recommended. They did an excellent job and they took pride in their work. No one could have asked for more of them. They worked for us over an 8 month period and we came to know them as family. At our home the Talon Team remodeled bathrooms, bedrooms, re-did the entire main level that included our kitchen, dining room and living room. We were very pleased with all of the work they did and would not hesitate to hire them again in the future. They possess something in this day and age that rarely exists - INTEGRITY! From the bottom of our hearts we say "Thank you Talon for all you did for us and for rebuilding our lives!"

We hired Talon Construction to install a new kitchen island as we wanted an upgraded cook top. Talon, when looking at the job, realized the refrigerator needed to be moved and recommended removing an existing pantry to the left of the refrigerator and putting cabinets on either side. There were some issues during the way, but the end result was very good. Issues were as follows: Island cabinet color (recommended by Talon) caused the island to take much longer than anticipated to receive, so job had to be divided into refrigerator move, then island install. There was also an issue with the cook top itself (having to do with the warranty for the combination cook top / down draft), but this was not Talon's problem. Talon did what they could with the cook top vendor, and while this produced some anxiety for a few days, was rectified with the vendor.

Talon Construction added a 3000 SF pool house/ office addition for us. Their quality of craftsmanship and attention to detail are as good as we have seen. And they work to find solutions in the field that help achieve the owner's vision. In this day and age it is hard to find a builder who takes such pride in the quality of their work and satisfaction of their client.

I would recommend Talon to anyone looking to do a renovation or addition. We added a large addition to our home and interviewed several companies. We could tell right away that Talon was the right choice. We started going over ideas right away, got a quick estimate, and even a computer animated sketch of what our home would look like. We were given cell phone numbers and email addresses for everyone involved from the sales manager to the operations manager to the guys at our house doing the work. The level of communication and response was outstanding. The project was finished on time even after a few changes made by us. We couldn't have been happier with our home and the level of service From Talon!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Talon Construction. They completed a 740 ft addition onto our 1939 colonial home. The addition is two stories and includes a family room, office/bedroom and powder room on the first floor and a master suite/bathroom on the second floor. My husband and I knew Talon was for us when we went to their website and saw the code of conduct listed. My husband is in law enforcement so security is as important to us as the quality of work. It also seemed like Talon really takes pride in their company and after working with them we can tell you that it is so true. They cared that every last detail was taken care of and really made the addition feel like it has always been there by paying close attention to detail and truly providing outstanding craftsmanship. My husband and I absolutely LOVE every room and can’t decide which one is our favorite. Not to mention, all of this was completed in 4 months. They were dedicated and hard working from start to end and completed the project before the deadline. The team was 100% professional and extremely pleasant to work with. To mention a few Bob, Ed and Marty you all are the best and true masters of your profession. Thank you, thank you, thank you Talon for building us our dream home!!!!!

My wife and I have heard of Talon's reputation and have seen two of their completed projects: an addition and a sun room. Both projects were local and were members of our family. The estimate Talon provided to us was accurate, plus we made a few tweaks during reno. We had a new bathroom constructed/installed in addition to a renovated main floor bath. There were a few hiccups along the way, as to be expected, but Talon was receptive to changes and made adjustments as needed. Great job. Recommended.

Our remodel experience with Talon Construction was excellent. We expanded a room and added a bathroom over our garage and also partially remodeled another bathroom. Talon with Ed Rasavage, Taylor Matthews, and Mary Holly provided as close to a turnkey remodel experience as we believe humanly possible. Any complex remodeling process has glitches (and change orders) along the way. What makes the difference between stressful experience and a great, smooth experience, is how these issues are handled. We feel like we were brought into the process and expertly guided all along the way. Talon’s honest, customer oriented approach is worth its weight in gold. We were entirely satisfied with the end result achieved.

They say that building a home is a very stressful event, but with Talon, the process is smooth and professional from beginning to end. Everyone in the company is client focused. Talon exhibits a truly unified partnership and sense of purpose. Every one of their workers is part of the team, carefully selected for the pride in quality of their workmanship. They make sure that they are a part of the vision that I have for my home, and keep me informed every step of the way. Every detail is taken very seriously - when there are choices to be made, I am called in to consult with the project manager as to my options. Each and every worker on the site is a true craftsman and professional -- simply put, everything is done right. Storybook had many challenges, and each challenge was met with great skill and attention. To this I would add that the worksite is always kept clean and orderly, and watching this house grow from the ground has been a remarkable experience. I highly recommend Talon construction to anyone wanting the best built and most beautiful house possible. The entire process has been nothing short of stunning!

I have been working with Talon for many years over many projects. I truly cannot say enough about Talon as a whole. They just do things right. From initial concepts to estimates and then construction you never have to wonder about quality. Their communication is thorough and consistent throughout the entire process. Additionally, and this is rare, at no time were there any financial surprises or shadiness - just integrity throughout. Bottom line, I cannot entrust using any other firm for my projects. I am a Talon fan. Stephen Price New Market, MD

We hired Talon to renovate and add an addition to our 100 year old farmhouse, involving the kitchen, a new bedroom, living room and a new bathroom. Ed Rasavage was our project manager and he and his team were very professional, kept us up to date on the project, responded promptly to concerns or changes we required and got the job done only a couple of months late. We are very pleased with the addition and have had Talon back for a second bathroom remodel and some roof work. We highly recommend them.

Ed Rasavage oversaw a major renovation project at our house. He and his whole team were highly professional and took evident pride in doing excellent work. Ed always responded promptly to any phone calls or emails from us, explained things we didn't understand, and quickly addressed any concerns (which were few). We would not hesitate to work with Talon again.

Talon construction did two projects for me and my wife. First we were not sure who they were and had not worked with them before so we gave them a small project in the house. It was removal of an old fireplace and installation of a storage cabinet. They did a very professional, clean and efficient job. Next, we decided to do a major addition to our house. What started as a screened in sunroom became a octagon sunroom with a coppola and four season construction. We worked with an architect to design the building and then put the work out to bid. Talon's bid was in the middle of the prices we got. Because the project was so complicated we were very concerned. We choose Talon because of the people. Specifically Bob and Dave. Bob tends to work in the sales area (though he can swing a hammer) and Dave tends to do the delivery (I've seen him with several hammers). The project kicked off on time and was an absolute pleasure to see come together. Specifically, the employees they brought to the site were incredibly professional and very good at what they did. Talon also works with subcontractors on various parts of the job and seems to have found very solid people. They all worked as a single team as far as I could tell. Frankly, I don't think Talon would let monkeys or anyone else not top notch screw up their reputation. To cut to the chase - Talon is a top flight firm. I get nothing for this review and have no reason to say anything but the truth. We need to know who the good guys are and keep them in business. I am happy to provide details or comments to anyone who wants to know. Chris Hodges iamchrishodges@yahoo.com Some facts: Project finished on time, under budget, to spec. No disruptions, no complaints, no delinquencies. We got what we paid for in tangibles and more than we paid for in the intangibles of trust and confidence.

Ed Rasavage, Operations Manager and Talon Construction are exceptionally professional with superb knowledge, skills, and abilities. The craftsmanship on my project was exacting and superbly constructed. I have recommended Talon to my friends and colleagues new have engaged them to do additional projects
