The project in Stone Harbor, New Jersey, involved the meticulous installation of CertainTeed Siding products, transforming a historic cottage located on the quaint street of Stone Court. This renovation was not just an upgrade; it was a revival of the home's character and charm. The primary choice of siding was the Cedar Impressions Granite Gray Siding, renowned for its durability and elegant appearance that echoes natural cedar wood without the maintenance worries. This siding was carefully selected to complement the coastal ambiance of Stone Harbor while offering resilience against the harsh seaside weather.
In addition to the Cedar Impressions, the project also included the installation of Monogram D4 Granite Gray Horizontal siding. This product line is celebrated for its exceptional quality and ability to mimic the look of traditional wood siding, but with the added benefits of modern vinyl technology. The Monogram D4 siding brought a sleek and contemporary feel to the cottage, balancing beautifully with the rustic charm of the Cedar Impressions.
A crucial aspect of this renovation was the restoration of the cottage's pergola. This feature, essential to the property's historic character, was meticulously refurbished to match the new siding while preserving its original design and integrity. The restoration process involved careful attention to detail, ensuring that the pergola seamlessly integrated with the updated exterior aesthetic.
The combination of these CertainTeed products and the skilled craftsmanship employed in their installation resulted in a stunning transformation. The cottage on Stone Court now stands as a testament to how modern materials can be used to preserve and enhance the beauty of historic properties, especially in a setting as picturesque and demanding as the exclusive shore town of Stone Harbor, NJ.


Revamping the laundry room brings a blend of functionality and style to an often-overlooked space. Upgrading appliances to energy-efficient models enhances efficiency while minimizing environmental impact.
Custom cabinetry and shelving solutions maximize storage for detergents, cleaning supplies, and laundry essentials, promoting an organized and clutter-free environment. Consideration of ergonomic design, such as a folding counter or ironing station, streamlines tasks and adds a touch of convenience.
Thoughtful lighting choices, perhaps with LED fixtures or natural light sources, contribute to a bright and inviting atmosphere. Flooring upgrades for durability, such as water-resistant tiles or easy-to-clean materials, can withstand the demands of laundry tasks.
Ultimately, a remodeled laundry room not only elevates its practical functionality but also transforms it into a well-designed, efficient space that makes the often-dreaded chore of laundry a more pleasant experience.

For this lovely lakeside home, we embarked on a thoughtful renovation centered around the homeowner's essential desires: a passion for cooking, ample spaces for social gatherings within the kitchen, and integrating the beauty of outdoor living into the home. Our clients cherished their kitchen not only as a place to create culinary delights but also as a serene backdrop with views of the lake. Together, we meticulously reimagined the kitchen space to ensure a seamless transition between the stunning outdoor scenery and the kitchen's everyday allure. Through deliberate selection and placement of each component, we aimed to meet the demands of culinary enthusiasts while maintaining the cozy, welcoming essence of a family-centered home. The result is a kitchen that excels in functionality and stands as a peaceful haven, offering a space to enjoy those invaluable moments.

For a family who believes fitness is not only an essential part of life but also a fun opportunity for the whole family to connect, build and achieve greatness together there is nothing better than a custom designed obstacle course right in your back yard.
THEME
The theme of this half mile trail through the woods is evident in the fun, creative and all-inclusive obstacles hidden in the natural flow of the land around this amazing family home. The course was created with adults and children, advanced and beginner athletes, competitive and entertaining events all accounted for. Each of the 13 obstacles was designed to be challenging no matter the size, skill or ability of the athlete lucky enough to run the course.
FOCUS
The focus for this family was to create an outdoor adventure that could be an athletic, social and personal outlet for their entire family while maintaining the natural beauty of the landscape and without altering the sweeping views from the home. The large scale of the challenging obstacles is camouflaged within the landscape using the rolling hills and mature trees as a natural curtain in every season. The beauty of the course does not diminish the functional and demanding nature of the obstacles which are designed to focus on multiple strength, agility, and cardio fitness abilities and intensities.
STORAGE
The start of the trail includes a raised training area offering a dedicated space clear from the ground to place bags, mats and other equipment used during the run. A small all-terrain storage cart was provided for use with 6 yoga mats, 3 medicine balls of various weights, rings, sprinting cones, and a large digital timer to record laps.
GROWTH
The course was designed to provide an athletic and fun challenge for children, teens and adults no matter their experience or athletic prowess. This course offers competitive athletes a challenge and budding athletes an opportunity to experience and ignite their passion for physical activity. Initially the concept for the course was focused on the youngest of the family however as the design grew so did the obstacles and now it is a true family experience that will meet their adapting needs for years. Each obstacle is paired with an instructional sign directing the runners in proper use of the obstacle, adaptations for skill levels and tips on form. These signs are all customized for this course and are printed on metal to ensure they last for many years.
SAFETY
Safety is crucial for all physical activity and an obstacle course of this scale presents unique safety concerns. Children should always be supervised when participating in an adventure on the course however additional care was paid to details on the course to ensure everyone has a great time. All of the course obstacles have been created with pressure treated lumber that will withstand the seasonal poundings. All footer pilings that support obstacles have been placed into the ground between 3 to 4 feet (.9 to 1.2 meters) and each piling has 2 to 3 bags of concrete (totaling over 90 bags used throughout the course) ensuring stability of the structure and safety of the participants. Additionally, all obstacle lumber has been given rounded corners and sanded down offering less splintering and more time for everyone to enjoy the course.
This athletic and charismatic family strives to incorporate a healthy active lifestyle into their daily life and this obstacle course offers their family an opportunity to strengthen themselves and host some memorable and active events at their amazing home.

Basement Remodel with Snack Bar-Style Kitchenette
Talon Construction Inc. transformed this Frederick, Maryland basement into a warm and multifunctional living space centered around a thoughtfully designed snack bar-style kitchenette. The goal for the design was to create a space that’s both functional and inviting, without overpowering the overall basement layout.
At the heart of the renovation is the kitchenette, featuring Mantra Cabinetry finished with sleek brushed nickel hardware. These elements were selected for their clean lines and durability, blending seamlessly into the aesthetic of the home. The cabinetry offers ample storage, while the countertops provide plenty of space for everything from preparing casual snacks to crafting complete meals. Whether it’s sharing a glass of wine or popping popcorn for a movie night, this space was designed to accommodate it all.
Above the kitchenette sink, two floating shelves add both functionality and style to the space. Strategically placed, the floating shelves offer easy access to everyday essentials—perfect for displaying glassware, decorative dishes, or small plants that add a personal touch. Their clean, minimalist design enhances the open feel of the kitchenette, while the lack of visible brackets maintains a streamlined, contemporary look.
Set against the backdrop of the backsplash, these shelves not only provide storage but also serve as a subtle focal point that draws the eye upward, adding depth and dimension to the overall design.
To add warmth and continuity throughout the basement, luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring was installed. Its natural wood look brings in texture and durability while standing up to the demands of a high-traffic family space. Above, recessed lighting ensures the area remains bright and welcoming, day or night.
The adjacent family room area offers a comfortable space to relax and entertain, effortlessly flowing from the kitchenette. The textures and finishes throughout reflect a modern yet elegant design language that harmonizes with the rest of the home, creating a cohesive, upscale look.
This design build remodel is a perfect example of how Talon Construction can take a basement from basic to beautiful—with intentional design, high-quality materials, and a focus on livability.

Mudrooms are practical entryway spaces that serve as a buffer between the outdoors and the main living areas of a home. Typically located near the front or back door, mudrooms are designed to keep the mess of the outside world at bay.
These spaces often feature built-in storage for coats, shoes, and accessories, helping to maintain a tidy and organized home. Durable flooring materials, such as tile or easy-to-clean surfaces, are common in mudrooms to withstand dirt and moisture.
Additionally, mudrooms may include benches or cubbies for convenient seating and storage of bags or backpacks. With hooks for hanging outerwear and perhaps a small sink for quick cleanups, mudrooms efficiently balance functionality with the demands of an active household, providing an essential transitional space in the home.

A durable, meaningful design heals a devastated residential property bordering Acadia National Park and Somes Sound on Maine’s Mount Desert Island. Comprehensive stormwater management strategies shape new landforms, resulting in elegant grading and thoughtful drainage solutions. Native plant colonies stabilize the site, regenerate habitat, and reveal wildlife patterns. Exquisitely crafted new masonry, built from an authentic palette of local reclaimed materials, gives the garden a unified, established feel. Lichen-encrusted stone retaining walls define edges, thresholds, and overlooks, and thick slabs of salvaged granite embedded in the earth provide gathering terraces and pathways. With balance restored, brilliant seasonal drama unfolds.
