Old floors, tiny steps, closed in kitchen and dark closed off rooms became a bright open floor layout. We took it down to the studs which means we had WAY TOO MANY decisions to make. Michael and his wife Jill were BEYOND a Blessing!! Helping, suggesting, guiding us toward our breathtaking new home was exactly what we were praying for but honestly thought would be impossible! > With the world in financial chaos, we were worried about finding someone qualified and GOOD. He was very honest and I appreciate knowing what to expect. He alway answered my calls or called back. He’s been doing this for a long time so he knows all the small and big details. Not to mention all the connections he’s made. So helpful! I never felt like an inconvenience. I have told and tell anyone who is looking for a contractor to give him a call. I can’t praise him and his crew enough. **★★★★★ — morsonl, Dec. 2022** > My husband and I started our home remodel in September of 2021 and it was a journey of supply line shortages and rising inflation. Mike Tall made a very difficult situation so much easier. He was able to juggle work around to cope with unexpected supply chain issues and always kept our project moving. Mike’s best skill is his ability to communicate with his customers and always answer the phone when you call. In addition, Mike and his crew do incredible quality work. Troy and Mikey, I can’t thank them enough for the wonderful work they did. While it was a really difficult time to do a full home remodel, Michael Tall Custom Homes made our experience a positive one. **★★★★★ — Keri Scarff, Dec. 2022** > Our total home remodel went smooth as butter with Michael Tall and crew at the reigns. Mike had the initial vision of how we could bring our 1980’s family home into its current, updated spectacular shape. We couldn’t be happier with the over experience and have made friends for life. Class act, extremely Reparable, highly talented and connected in the industry with Superior subs, I would highly recommend! > Mark & Keri Scarff **★★★★★ — Gale Harpold, April 2022** > I was very lucky to catch Mike Tall Construction in between jobs when most people were having to wait months for a contractor. Mike was a pleasure to work with. He made great suggestions on little things that could be done to update the house and got everything done in a timely manner. I will definitely recommend Mike Tall Construction to family and friends. **★★★★★ — camille sylvester, Feb. 2022** > It was a pleasure to work with Mike Tall and his right hand man Troy while doing a full renovation of our home. Mike was very professional and conscientious of our budget and timeline on the project giving us the best ideas and options for all aspects of our final outcome. Although it was hard to stay on our initial budget, covid restraints and cost increases were not his fault and we ultimately ended up loving the final results. We gave him a huge task in tearing down walls, restructuring a 1975 layout to a more modern open floor plan. Everything from the electric, plumbing, insulation, drywall and flooring had to be replaced. New windows, doors, trim, lighting are just a few of the things that needed updating and Mike made it easy to work with all of the sub contractors. Mike is an expert contractor and has worked in our community for years rebuilding and revitalizing the area to make it more up to date. We trusted his work and are very happy we chose to work with someone who has the knowledge and years of experience under his belt. Thank you for making our dreams come true! **★★★★★ — itsmejon, March 2021** > Mike is first rate, he and his team are true craftsman. They do their work with a passion that shows in the results. Easy to work with, fun loving and true attention to the details. Our project was a series of updates and improvements to "make it ours". Whether it was our idea or theirs it becomes reality with style and flair. I've already recommended Mike and team to friends and of course there's always more to do, I know I'll be calling Mike again. > Jon and Cheryl O. **★★★★★ — HU-979237808, Dec. 2020** > Michael is a great contractor to work with. Very professional and always has everything on the jobsite ready to go. We have done several jobs for him and look forward to having a long standing working relationship with him. **★★★★★ — HU-402521685, Dec. 2020** > Mike does an excellent job. Him and his team do a terrific job. Mike is always pleasant to talk to on the phone. He is consistent with his job's and is always on top of it! Clients are always thrilled with the outcome of their project! **★★★★★ — HU-370313933, Dec. 2020** > Mike did a major bathroom remodel project for us this year. We are very happy with the project and would highly recommend him for any home remodeling project. Mike was very good about giving us an accurate estimate of time and expenses at the start of the project. He was very involved during the whole project, making sure everything came out the way we wanted. He was easy to talk to and allowed us to work closely with him on all aspects of the project. All of his recommendations were very helpful and we ended up with a bathroom that we love. **★★★★★ — lisawhite\_lmg, Nov. 2020** > My husband and I confidently chose Michael Tall of Michael Tall Custom Homes to do our 2020 home remodel. > We know we made the right decision in proceedIng forward with Michael Tall Custom Homes, as Mike has done many home projects in our golf club neighborhood. We were fortunate to be able to see beforehand, the beautiful work, and high attention to detail which makes Michael Tall projects stand out from other top contractors, and what confirmed our decision to go forward with Michael Tall Custom Homes. > Michael Tall began our project with complimentary, detailed project drawings, and from there, our home transformation process began.

His vision and creative ideas improved our enjoyment of our home and definitely increased its resale value. He listened well to our needs and desires and offered incredible suggestions based on his immense experience and knowledge. He was budget and deadline conscious, expertly managed his quality subcontractors, and highly responsive to all our needs. His friendly personality and great sense of humor made working with him a wonderful experience. I also appreciated his follow up after the project was completed. I highly recommend Mike Tall and would trust him with any of our future projects. **★★★★★ — Michelle Rowe, Nov. 2019** > My experience with MIke Tall Custom Homes was nothing short of exceptional. His experience and professionalism was welcoming. His attention to only my project was something you will not find with any other contractor. With his process our finishes were bought, paid for and on site before demo started which made the project move on time and on budget. His creative ideas not only saved us some time and money but made some great additions to our home. His team is courteous and cleaned the site up every evening before leaving. I hope to have the opportunity to work with him on another project. ## Selected projects - [Modern whole house renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-whole-house-renovation-pj-vj~7090656) - Location: Kent, WA - Photos: 19 - Description: this architecturally significant home was completely renovated to open up the floor plan & give it a beautiful & modern aesthetic. - [Meridian Valley Project II](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/meridian-valley-project-ii-pj-vj~7090663) - Location: Kent, WA - Photos: 31 - [Lake Sawyer addition](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lake-sawyer-addition-pj-vj~7372337) - Location: Black Diamond, Washington - Photos: 9 - Description: Rustic cabin becomes a beautiful modern farmhouse - [Luxury Master Suite](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/luxury-master-suite-pj-vj~7090643) - Location: Kent, WA - Photos: 14 - Description: European spa master bathroom suite.
