Lawn Ave. Tampa, 33611, to Dennis Johnson after telling our realtor that we were not interested in selling to a builder. Unbeknownst to us, Dennis Johnson had assigned the contract to Taralon Homes. Our broker never told us. Soon after, a 200 year old grand oak was butchered in the back yard without a permit as required, Taralon sold the property in May, 2022. **★ — Mar Caper, Aug. 2020** > Taralon Homes granted permission for a power pole to be placed in the backyard of one of their homes that we purchased but never mentioned it to us. The power pole wasn't there during the inspection and immediately after closing when we inquired about the power pole, Taralon Homes said they felt it wasn't a big deal. It is a very, very big deal to us and we will have significant expenses in removing the pole. We later found out that it had been quite a big deal to all of the neighbors involved. **★★★★★ — Stacy Gramling, March 2018** > Taralon Homes designed and built a beautiful home for our family. The building process went very smooth and I attribute this to Mike and Scott's professionalism and commitment to building a superior product. The time frame for the construction of our home was met and we were very impressed with the quality of a Taralon home. Taralon is very good about pricing out the construction of a home in a competitive environment and working with the customer to meet expectations. Another great reason to build with Taralon homes is Mike and Scott are so organized throughout the entire process and keep the project on track with constant communication. We highly recommend Taralon Homes and would use them again. **★★★★★ — mimihoulton, March 2018** > Taralon was our custom home builder for our new 3500 square foot, two-story home with a two car garage and pool/spa in Saint Petersburg, Florida. The Taralon team was professional, courteous, and receptive to our feedback throughout the building process. > We couldn’t be happier with our beautiful, new home! **★★★★★ — SECURE PRO, LLC, March 2018** > Our company has provided low voltage services for national and local builders for over 15 years. In that time we have seen many residential construction projects. Among these builders Taralon homes I must say is among the elite home builders in the market. With the experience Mike and Scott bring to the table you absolutely know your home will be built at the highest standards. Their field GC Louie is on the site each day and the quality of attention shows in their final product. > I highly recommend this company if your in the market for a quality well built custom home. **★★★★★ — Alexis Bever, March 2018** > Taralon Homes was the absolute BEST choice for us to build our new home. We started this project with low expectations on how long and how difficult the process would go. However, the process was surprisingly easy and actually fun! Everyone at Taralon was excellent with communication and had timely responses. Our house was built on schedule with minor delays (normal). Kirchner and Bartoletta, and their subcontractors, were a pleasure to work with. We always recommend Taralon Homes to all that ask about our home building process. We now have a well made beautiful home. Thanks Taralon! **★★★★ — Tim Van Solkema, March 2018** > Happy overall. Great structure and has worn well. Had to change landscaping and some other issues on our own, so not great follow up after the move in date. **★★★★★ — William and Marsha Knarr, Sept. 2016** > We started the process of building our new home with Taralon Homes in February of 2012. Our house was completed as expected on time and we were able to move in, in October. During this process we found the staff and builder to be professional, responsive and accommodating. They were very helpful in guiding us through the building process and in hindsight, their expertise and advice proved to be exceptional. They build a quality house and offer a lot of upgrades that are standard in their initial builder contract options. We love our home. Highly recommend **★★★★★ — elisa\_180, Aug. 2016** > Taralon Homes is a highly reputable company that does nothing but brilliant work. They are extremely knowledgeable in the business with exceptional quality and professionalism. They go the extra mile to make sure their work is top notch and built to last. **★★★★★ — cruth, Aug. 2016** > After failing to find a suitable existing home to purchase, we saw a blueprint on a real estate web site that looked perfect for the home that we wanted. Although we had not considered a new build, after meeting with the professionals at Taralon Homes, we knew it was the right answer for us. From start to finish (approximately six months), the build process went smoothly. Regular communications between ourselves and the builder resulted in a first class new home which reflects our taste and more than meets our needs. The work quality is excellent and the individuals working on the project were all talented and hard working. We easily stayed within our budget by making trades and adding only a few upgrades. We had a fun experience making this our dream home and would highly recommend this company to anyone interested in building a new home. **★★★★★ — Susan Pickett, Aug. 2016** > We just moved in to our DREAM HOME and Scott Kirchner and Mike Bartoletta have been great to work with. Their process to build a custom home is individualized, personal and highly professional. The quality of their work is excellent. Our home was completed in November 2016. I would highly recommend Taralon to build your dream home. **★★★★★ — Lea Newman Designs, Aug. 2016** > As a real estate agent with Smith and Associates Real Estate in the St. Petersburg/Tampa Bay area, I more than highly recommend Taralon Home Builders Scott Kirchner and Mike Bartoletta. I have worked side by side with them as they constructed each new property in the St. Petersburg area. The homes are built using superior materials and are of the highest quality. Scott and Mike develop specs for each property, but if a buyer reserves a home before the project starts, Taralon will change the entire plan to suit that specific buyer. Taralon Homes exemplifies the highest standards of honesty and integrity, both in their custom built homes and in their one on one dealings with their clients. I am so very proud to be a part of the Taralon family and honored to represent and sell these beautiful homes in the St. Petersburg/Tampa Bay area. ## Selected projects - [Georgica](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/georgica-pj-vj~7009502) - Location: Tampa, FL - Photos: 72 - [Bridge Hampton](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bridge-hampton-pj-vj~6282978) - Location: Tampa, FL - Photos: 55 - Description: Dutch Colonial - [Hampton](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hampton-pj-vj~6159536) - Location: Tampa, FL - Photos: 69 - [Stanford Custom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/stanford-custom-pj-vj~2651784) - Location: Tampa, FL - Photos: 43 - [Mullen by Taralon Homes](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mullen-by-taralon-homes-pj-vj~2000733) - Location: Tampa, FL - Photos: 46 - Description: Golfview Custom Home by Taralon Homes - [Modern English Farmhouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-english-farmhouse-pj-vj~5609239) - Location: Tampa, FL - Photos: 71 - [St Tropix - Taralon Homes](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/st-tropix-taralon-homes-pj-vj~2032649) - Location: Tampa, FL - Photos: 57 - [Waverly Park 1 - Taralon Homes](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/waverly-park-1-taralon-homes-pj-vj~2011149) - Location: Tampa, FL - Photos: 19 - [Manhattan](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/manhattan-pj-vj~2651866) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 92 - [Alafia Traditional](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/alafia-traditional-pj-vj~2651806) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 28 - [Mandalay](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mandalay-pj-vj~4430016) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 21 - [SoHo](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/soho-pj-vj~2651826) - Location: Tampa, FL - Photos: 22 - [Beautiful Interiors](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/beautiful-interiors-pj-vj~1959948) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - [Luxurious Exteriors](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/luxurious-exteriors-pj-vj~1960302) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [Georgetown II](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/georgetown-ii-pj-vj~6159484) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 56 [See all 15 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/home-builders/taralon-homes-pfvwus-pf~1007057181) ## Ideabooks - [Kitchens](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/49123782/list/kitchens) — 132 ideas - [Stairs](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/50172451/list/stairs) — 28 ideas - [Ceilings](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/50168011/list/ceilings) — 21 ideas - [gutters](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/68745709/list/gutters) — 29 ideas - [Fireplaces](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/52479416/list/fireplaces) — 42 ideas - [Pools](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/49453444/list/pools) — 31 ideas - [Bathrooms](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/49453273/list/bathrooms) — 60 ideas - [Bedrooms](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/50167567/list/bedrooms) — 27 ideas - [Display Cabinets](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/62009380/list/display-cabinets) — 1 idea - [Study](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/50173995/list/study) — 14 ideas - [Foyer](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/49459779/list/foyer) — 19 ideas - [Family Room](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/50172624/list/family-room) — 28 ideas - [Laundry](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/50172990/list/laundry) — 10 ideas - [Exterior Colors](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/52531056/list/exterior-colors) — 4 ideas - [den](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/57650267/list/den) — 6 ideas - [Interior Paint](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/52530906/list/interior-paint) — 2 ideas - [Brick](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/56683619/list/brick) — 7 ideas - [exterior color](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/56187142/list/exterior-color) — 6 ideas - [Exterior Front Entry](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/50173468/list/exterior-front-entry) — 5 ideas - [Interior Features](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/49455684/list/interior-features) — 7 ideas [See all 29 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/scott-kirchner3748) ## Community Q&A **Q: Love this Home!
