TaylorPro Design and Remodeling, Inc.

Our project involved adding square footage to our kitchen and living area and doing a full kitchen remodel. We have a 4 year old and 1 year old and being without a kitchen for several months was challenging, but Kerry made the experience as painless as possible and the end result is amazing. He met his proposed timeline and budget, which of course was one of our biggest fears. Kerry is very friendly and great to work with. His communication during the entire project was phenomenal. He also stayed relatively on track with his timeline of events, and I believe there were rarely any days that nothing was happening. The efficiency was excellent. He also has a stellar team - Jake especially! Jake has the best attitude towards everything and knows how to do almost anything. Manny, the cabinet guy was also wonderful. Jesse, tile guy also excellent. His designer, Tiffany, helped us with our kitchen layout and definitely saved me from making some big mistakes. We ran into a few hiccups that affected schedule and cost slightly as almost any project would, but Kerry helped us through them in a very professional manner. Anything that didn't turn out right, he would make sure and fix until it did. Example - the ceiling on the addition was not level to the rest of the house, but his team took the time to ensure it came out perfect. Their level of quality is top-notch. We highly recommend TaylorPro. Our family is absolutely loving our new space.

There're many contractors out here that can complete a project in 95% perfection, but very few can achieve 100% perfection, and Kerry is the one! It is the last 5% that really makes a big difference in the end result. We're so fortunate to have Kerry as our contractor for our whole house remodeling project. He is the best! The result is fabulous and beyond our expectation! And most importantly, Kerry and his whole team made the whole process not only stress free, but rather exciting and enjoyable! We did pretty much everything we could to the house with Kerry, including removing a wall to expand kitchen area, full kitchen and four bathrooms remodeling, entryway redesign, adding a sliding patio door to our bedroom, and a spacious understairs storage space. We stayed in the house during the whole construction process. We were very impressed by how well organized and clean his people are, including the subcontractors he hires. Kerry and his people made sure the place is livable. They built a temporary wall covered in plastic as a dust barrier and uses a filtration system to remove the dust. It was never dusty and messy everyday coming back home from work. Everyone working with him is super professional and friendly. They really treat your home as if their own and your pets too. We have chinchillas at home and are very noise sensitive. Without us even asking, his people would move the cage to a quiet and dust free area every day before they start working. It was nice to meet friendly people every morning and see the progress every evening coming from home. Kerry uses the best people and highest quality materials. They really showed what craftsmanship is. Not only they pay attention to the details that everybody can see, they also take good care of things covered inside. For example, they inspect all lumpers for insects, mold, or rot before use, and they let me know if they found drywood termite droppings when they open a drywall. Since this is an old house, when there were pipes need to be replaced or any potential issue they see down the road, they let me know immediately. So I’m confident that our home is at the best hands and will be worry-free and enjoyable for many years to come. Kerry is a very professional and responsible project manager. He has good relationship with his subcontractors and communicates really well with the designer, the architectural engineer, and all his people and subcontractors on all details. If I have any questions or spot any imperfection, I know when I talk to Kerry, he will get it fixed no matter how small the spot is. For example, we notice our hardwood floor has a little bigger gap in one spot, which is really minor. When I told Kerry, he called the flooring people immediately, and they came back next day fixed it really well. In fact, he inspects the work very frequently and carefully, and often picks up issues and imperfections before us even noticing it. He checks all specs of the appliances and fixtures we selected, and really spent time to reassure the compatibility of everything. He did a lot of walk throughs and final punch list with us to make sure we’re happy with everything and all details in the end. He even helped us with our new steam shower troubleshooting and repair, which he could simply leave us with the company’s customer service number. Instead, he took care of all the communications with them and helped us fixed the problem. When Miele representative told us there’s no way to screw the oven in place, Kerry came in immediately and easily fixed the problem. Kerry is not the cheapest and it does take time to complete such a complicated project that involves dedicated planning, engineering designing, and detailing. But in the end, the money and time we spent is totally worth it! Kerry is not only a very responsible and professional project manager but himself is a very knowledgeable and engineer and a creative designer with great aesthetic judgment and knowledge of cutting-edge trends and technologies in home renovation. In my opinion, this is bonus you get working with Kerry. Other people tell me do not look at pinterest pictures, it's impossible to do something like that. Kerry is the one who sat down with me, discussing all the possibilities, options, pros and cons, challenges and solutions, what's cost effective what's not, and provided very invaluable suggestions on how to balance functionality and aesthetics. If I have a question on any design details, I know I can count on him. Kerry listens to all of my ideas which sometimes are crazy, does a lot research on what’s available in the market, and created a lot of innovative solutions using his expertise and ingenuity. We had a lot of architectural and plumbing challenges. Kerry always takes time explaining to us on everything and make sure we understand the issue. He provides us different options and comparing the limitations imposed by practicality, look and costs to help us make the best decision. I really enjoyed every conversation with him and learnt a lot from him. Kerry made our dream home become true. I would totally use Taylor Pro again for our future home remodeling projects. And if you are like me, a perfectionist and have very high standard in both artistic design and livability, I highly recommend Taylor Pro.

Working with Kerry and his team was a great experience for us. His attention to detail, responsiveness and support of our needs was outstanding. Kerry listened to our requirements from the beginning offered solid suggestions throughout and pointed us to the quality components we wanted while keeping costs in mind. He made sure that our family was comfortable throughout the project was always checking in and keeping the project on track. His foreman Jake was competent and friendly and got along well with our dog. The specialty tradesman (subcontractors) all did good work and no one was at the house that wasn't expected. Having gone through a stressful project with a larger company I was very unmotivated to start a new project. Kerry spoke my language (engineering) and put me at ease at the first meeting. He delivered everything he said he would without surprises or drama. I would use him again in a heartbeat.

Overall, we are pleased with how our project turned out. The end results came out just as Kerry had depicted. There were a few hiccups along the road, but Kerry was quick to resolve those to stay on schedule for the most part. Our meetings with Kerry went pretty well with very little pressure felt on choosing the things we wanted. There were a couple of days where no work was done, and we were not sure what was going on, so we felt that the project probably could have been completed sooner. We went over our budget due to some unforeseen issues, but it was also more due to the decisions we made for options that costed more. In the end, it was all worth it, and we are happy.

My husband and I had a great experience working with Kerry and his team for our home remodel. Kerry was everything you would want in a general contractor. He was timely, professional, organized, detail-oriented, knowledgeable, and responsive. He set expectations and was available to us . He works with a great team. I was comfortable every step of the way. There was no "down" time. I have no problem recommending Kerry and his team to my friends and clients. Debbi Levis, Coldwell Banker, Del Mar

At the very first meeting with Kerry and his designer, Tiffany, I knew our project was in great hands. From start to finish they were both so fun and easy to work with. I loved that we could see what our new kitchen would look like using Kerry’s 3D software. Tiffany was invaluable when selecting materials, we would never have picked the door colour or backsplash tiles etc. without her help. During the project Kerry was calm, professional and really a joy to have around. Kerry was fabulous about letting me know who would be on site and when - which is so important when having a remodel and juggling general family life. Every person who helped bring our kitchen to life was fantastic and a pleasure to have in our home. We have completed a few modernisations over the years and I can honestly say that Kerry and his team are top notch, they go the extra mile and Kerry’s attention to detail is outstanding. I recommend TaylorPro to everyone I know and if you are thinking of hiring Kerry and would like to see his work first hand, I am very happy to show off our brand new kitchen any time! To all at Taylor Pro and White Design, thank you. Our elegant kitchen is a dream come true.

Kerry from TaylorPro did a number of different updates to our home - including light bathroom refreshes and replacement flooring, but the main project was a complete kitchen modernisation and the creation of an office space. The standard of work and attention to detail was second to none. The project went slightly over time but that was because we increased the scope and added some additional things. The contractors were onsite on time and Kerry kept us informed whenever someone was going to be at the house. Everything was always left clean and in order. As well as actually dealing with the construction, Kerry was also active in the design part of the process, suggesting changes and alterations along the way. They also provided full visualisation of the work that would be done by creating drawings. I would happily recommend TaylorPro to anyone looking for high end, design led construction

TaylorPro just finished our major kitchen remodel and I cannot speak more highly of Kerry's professionalism, communication style, project management skills, design sense and scope/budget consciousness. We started the demo for our project in late October and they were able to finish the bulk of the work before Christmas as I requested. He sat down with us early and listened to our design ideas. He pulled all of them together in a 3D computer model so we could visualize the changes (which included removing a wall and changing a window to a door outside) before getting started. He offered advice when we asked since we had never been through a major remodel before we needed guidance. Each of the specialists he hired showed up on time, worked diligently, cleaned up after themselves and communicated with Kerry if any issues arose. Kerry's designer, Tiffany, was great to bounce ideas off of about materials and met us at the slab yard/tile store to help us hone down our design choices. Before making our final selection, we asked for her input and she gladly accommodated us. She even came out to help select paint colors. Both Kerry and Tiffany where extremely easy to work with and communicated well throughout the process. We are so pleased with the outcome and the fact that, despite some scope changes that could not have been known at the outset, Kerry managed to manage the project to within 0.05% of the cost estimate. We appreciated the updates, the advance scheduling, the regular communication, the personal service and the quality of specialists and would recommend them to anyone who wants help with a major remodel of their home.

It was great working with them. Good communication and they really care about quality work. I would gladly work with them again.

Taylor Pro was great! I definitely would use them again with our future projects. They were on time and on budget. The granite, flooring, and cabinets are gorgeous. We had a steam shower put in and it’s amazing. Nothing like a morning stream before heading out for the day. The designer Taylor Pro uses is amazing! She worked around our work schedule to meet our needs. Very pleased with everything -

Kerry Taylor was professional and courteous from our first meeting forwards. We took a long time to decide on our final design but Kerry and his design team were patient and respectful and waited until we were ready to move forward. There was never a sense of being pushed into anything we didn’t like. They listened, carefully considered our requests and delivered an awesome plan for our new bathroom. Kerry also broke down everything so that we could consider several alternatives for features and finishes and was mindful to stay within our budget. He accommodated some on-the-fly changes, after construction was underway and suggested effective solutions for any unforeseen problems that arose. Having construction done in close proximity to our master bedroom was a challenge but the excellent crew TaylorPro had on our job made it relatively painless: courteous and polite, arrived on time daily, worked hard, pretty much nonstop and cleaned up every day before leaving. If there were any delays, Kerry made sure to communicate with us quickly and was always available to talk when we had concerns or questions. Our bathroom is a testament to the high quality work that TaylorPro puts out. They translated our desire for an updated master bathroom that didn’t feel cramped and pokey and made us a gorgeous, light-filled and airy room that we love to spend time relaxing in. It came out even better than we expected! Thank you TaylorPro!

They ultimately did high quality work. They have multiple jobs at any given time so you will end up with unplanned down time and need to manage your project in order stay somewhat on schedule. While it was expensive, we are happy with our kitchen.

Our large, kitchen remodel was a culmination of many years of savings, dreaming and hard work. We wanted to remove load-bearing walls and reconfigure a tandem garage to expand our kitchen area. We talked to quite a few companies, some of which we've used in the past and were happy with their work. It turned out that a friend was a designer who also worked with Kerry. Being an engineer and entrepreneur as well, we immediately connected with Kerry and we took a chance with TaylorPro. Our priorities were quality, price and timeframe, in that order. That was exactly our experience with TaylorPro. We are SUPER HAPPY with the final result. They have built the kitchen of our dreams and it would not be possible without their commitment to detail. For example, Kerry had his team re-install our hood vent and garage vents because the previously installed vents were not as high quality. Like any large project, there were some hiccups along the way. The project took a little longer due to some staffing issues and a few items went over budget. However, we worked it out in a fair and reasonable manner. To sum it up, TaylorPro was excellent quality, trustworthy and fair. We definitely recommend them. Thank you for making our dreams a reality, TaylorPro.

Taylor Pro was easy to work with and our kitchen remodel came out beautiful. If I had to say one area of improvement would be to make sure his crews did a better job of cleaning up after end of day. Other than that we would definitely hired them again and recommend.

Wow!! We are beyond impressed and amazed with Kerry and TaylorPro Design & Remodeling. As our first foray into home remodeling, we decided to redo our kitchen and powder room, add a bar, and replace all the floors on the first floor. It was a significant project, but the whole process was smooth, professional, on time, on budget, and met the highest standards of perfection. Kerry is extremely organized, detail-oriented, responsive, and a pleasure to work with. His team is also wonderful, very professional and friendly, and we are so appreciative of their hard work and attention to detail. We also really enjoyed working with his designer Tiffany. She really helped us through the tough part of picking materials, and the results are stunning! We highly recommend TaylorPro for any remodel and look forward to working with them again on a future project!

I have been working with TaylorPro Design and Remodeling for over 2 years and I have nothing but wonderful things to say about this company. Working in the flooring industry myself it is very important to me that I align my company with other quality, honest, and reputable businesses. TaylorPro is all of those things and more! Kerry's clients are always treated with respect. His clients have shared with me on numerous occasions their appreciation of Kerry's diligence to keep the project/remodel organized, and within budget. I highly recommend this company if anyone is looking to undergo a home remodeling project.

Kerry Taylor and his team were simply outstanding. We had wanted to add a master suite with walk in closet, master bath plus move our laundry room set up inside, for quite sometime. However, we delayed starting this project because I was quite concerned before we did this project that I would survive the disruption. We have very busy work lives and I need calm and order at home. I very much appreciated how Kerry and his team handled our project especially since we stayed in our home for this entire remodel process. Throughout it all, Kerry was a ready knowledgeable resource and always responsive to anything we raised or simply were curious about. The attention to detail and delivering a quality product was fabulous and sustained throughout the entire process. The finished project was even better than we hoped and we now feel that we have a transformed home. As a special plus, the budget was just as advertised! We were so happy that we actually added additional work to the project that I was planning to do at a later time. We couldn't be happier!

This is a great company to work with, very detail oriented, friendly, sensitive to the client's needs. Working on the Construction business for over 30 years, we know what elements makes a great company and TaylorPro has them all. You can take our word for them. Grace at G. Neffa Drywall, Inc.

Kerry has great attention to detail, easy to work with, and is extremely professional . I would recommend Kerry for any home renovation project.

Kerry and his team at TaylorPro Design and Remodeling are exceptional. Kerry has been nothing but professional, a true team player with the ultimate goal of 100% customer satisfaction. He treats each project as if it were his own, and I very much appreciate this mindful approach. The project finished on time and on budget, and the client was thrilled. I look forward to working with Kerry and his team in the future!

The home remodeling process, from concept to a finished product, can be a long and stressful time for many couples. An endless number of questions always come to mind and timely decisions must be made if a successful project is desired. This is why we picked Taylor Pro Design and the reason we are so happy with the finished product! Kerry clearly explained what could and couldn’t be done from a design standpoint and the cost implications of the various options we were considering. In terms of the end product we couldn’t be happier. The attention to detail by his contractors is superb and Kerry’s willingness to make sure we were completely satisfied with everything is genuine and trustworthy. We would recommend Kerry Pro Design to anyone.

TaylorPro completely remodeled our master bathroom. We had our outdated shower transformed into a modern walk-in shower, new custom cabinets installed with a beautiful quartz counter top, a giant framed vanity mirror which makes the bathroom look so much bigger and brighter, and a wood ceramic tile floor including under floor heating. Kerry Taylor also solved a hot water problem we had by installing a recirculating hot water system which allows us to have instant hot water in the shower rather than waiting forever for the water to heat up. From start to finish TaylorPro did a professional, quality job. Kerry Taylor was always quick to respond to any question or problem and made sure all work was done properly. Bonnie, the resident designer, did a great job of creating a beautiful, functional bathroom design combining our ideas with her own. Every member of the TaylorPro team was professional, hard-working, considerate, and competent. Any remodeling project is going to be somewhat disruptive, but the TaylorPro crew made the process as painless as possible by being respectful of our home environment and always cleaning up their mess at the end of the day. I would recommend TaylorPro Design to anyone who wants a quality project done by a great team of professionals. You won't be disappointed!"

After reading the stellar reviews on Houzz and meeting Kerry in person, we knew we had to hire him for our project. Boy were we impressed and happy with the entire renovation process and the transformation of our kitchen/dining/living room/guest bath! The main reasons why we selected Kerry and TaylorPro were: (1) design concept; (2) competitive pricing (though not the lowest); and (3) professionalism. Even before signing the retainer, Kerry and his team put together a detailed design of our entire first floor (except flooring), including CAD models and 3D perspective views of the entire space. This was particularly impressive, since it helped us tremendously to see how our Kerry was able to listen to our vision of the space and transform it into something better than what we had imagined. The renovation of our entire first floor started in April and ended in June. His entire crew, whether it's for demolition, electrical, tiling, or plumbing, etc., were extremely friendly, courteous, and clean, something that is not always easy to find (based on our previous renovation/house repair experiences). It was a pleasure working with all of them to say the least. As for timing, our project was on-time, if not ahead of schedule, for the first 95% of the project. We ran into some delays with reorders of incorrectly manufactured parts, but that's not Kerry's issue as far as we know. Kerry paid attention to detail throughout the project and were able to notify us of issues that occurred during the renovation project. Needless to say, despite small changes made along the way and minor adjustments here and there, we came in right on budget! Now that the renovation project has ended and that we've lived in the house for more than six months, I can attest to the fact that TaylorPro's work is of very high quality! We have not had issues with cabinets, faucets, lights, or anything that was installed. In summary, our first impression of Kerry being a trustworthy contractor that paid attention to detail turned out to exceed our expectations. If (and when) we renovate our upstairs, Kerry and TaylorPro will be my first call!

When we decided to renovate our newly purchased home we hired TaylorPro, owned by Kerry Taylor. We were extremely happy with his work - in fact, I can't imagine being happier. Our new kitchen is just beautiful as is the master bath and updates to other parts of our house. We hired Kerry while we were still living in Boston so keeping in touch was critical and Kerry corresponded with us very frequently, including photos to keep us apprised of the status of the various projects. Of course if there was a question it was asked almost immediately and he was wonderful about suggesting less expensive alternatives when that made sense. Throughout the project it felt like Kerry was remodeling his own home. He was all about quality. The remodel was finished in the time frame that Kerry had promised and on target with our budget. We love our new home. I hear so many people complain about their contractor. Not me. I would hire him again in a heartbeat. If you hire Kerry and his team you'll see what I mean.

I had the joy of working with Kerry on a kitchen and dining room remodel. He and his crew were pleasant and respected the designer's role in the whole process. With Kerry, it felt like we were a team rather than competitors. He contacted me when there were questions about the design. And, when decisions were in his hands, he made choices like he actually cared about the outcome of the project! Because of this, the project turned out beautifully. The clients are extremely happy with their new home. On top of everything else, they kept the job site VERY clean and they were polite and respectful of the family continuing to live in the house. Kerry is amazing. I hope we get to work together again soon.

The epitome of true professionals. TaylorPro Design & Remodeling, headed up by Kerry Taylor, preformed a masterful job of rehabilitating our kitchen. Kerry and his wife Dawn have the unique ability to come into your home, listen to your request, and then offer you the very best and most artistic solution to fulfill your dreams. Their price was resonable and work was very professional. Once we came up with the final design, there were no price increases and the work was completed on time. We love our kitchen and TaylorPro comes with our highest recommendation.

Kerry Taylor came highly recommended, yet he still exceeded our expectations… The scope of our project included moving and creating a chef’s kitchen, remodeling two bathrooms, re-routing an existing staircase, removing a fireplace and installing 12” x 8” glass sliding doors, moving windows, electrical and lighting installation, and at least a dozen other small upgrades and changes. Mechanical and structural engineering were also needed due to the removal of part of an existing wall to enhance the ocean views. Kerry led his team with respect and professionalism. Kerry’s team (both employees and subcontractors) were also responsive, hard-working and professional. They showed up on time, worked consistently, provided high-quality craftsmanship and cleaned up their work areas at the end of every day. In long and complex projects, challenges will always arise. That’s when a really good contractor makes the biggest difference! Kerry was always accessible. I don’t know how he was able to return phone calls, emails and text messages so quickly, but he always did. And he remained calm, professional, and confident that a solution could be worked out. The project was completed on time, and on budget. Thank you, Kerry and TaylorPro!

Kerry and his team did a phenomenal job remodeling our kitchen. It turned out just like we envisioned, on time, and on budget. We feel so lucky to have the kitchen of our dreams. He also worked very well with our designer, and his insights were invaluable throughout the process. I highly recommend Kerry to anyone!

My wife and I purchased our home in Carlsbad in 2012 and from early on had talked about doing a kitchen remodel at some point. We made the decision this year to finally get it done and after interviewing 4 or 5 design/remodel teams we made the decision to hire Kerry Taylor to do the job for us. From the first consultation where Kerry came out to our house, to our visiting his showroom to go over designs and styles to the beginning of work and onward to the final outcome, Kerry and his team were absolutely professional in their work. Everything was done to perfection and what few glitches there were, were immediately addressed by Kerry. He was constantly checking in on progress and was always available to answer questions. This was our first major remodel after 4 homes over a 20 + year timeline and we couldn't have been happier with our kitchen. It is an absolute showpiece and anyone who has come into our house literally stops i their tracks when they see the transformation. We'd recommend Kerry and his team to anyone for any job.

Kerry Taylor is our favorite contractor to work with. Job sites are always clean and professional. The communication is good and things tend to go well. Most importantly the finished jobs are always AMAZING and top notch. I recommend Kerry and his team to all of our clients looking to upgrade/remodel their home. Chris Martin Oceanside Drywall

Kerry Taylor and his team provided us with excellent, exemplary services during our kitchen/master bath remodeling. He starts with a detailed bid and and utilizes the same format to request progress payments. This makes it easy to see where the project is versus plan. He and his crew are excellent communicators who pride themselves on superior performance. His granite and tile sun contractors are also excellent craftsmen who communicate well and perform beyond expectation. Kerry utilizes his easy-going manner in combination with vast construction experience and his professional engineer education to support his customers no matter what surprises inevitably pop up during a remodeling project. In our case, he found and resolved major problems with previous, shoddy shower area construction. His solution was fair and effective. In short, TaylorPro gets the job done on time and under budget. We would gladly retain his services in the future should the need arise.

I served as structural engineer for the remodel project at a coastal area duplex. Kerry Taylor brought me into the project as part of a complete design team that he assembled. The job was primarily a kitchen remodel, but needed some structural modifications to enhance the property's ocean views and provide the crucial 'wow' factor necessary for the kitchen elements. Kerry led the project from start to finish, such that our contact with the owners was limited to a first-time introduction meeting. The project was a smashing success, with beautiful interior finishes and creation of a dramatic indoor/outdoor coastal living space. Kerry is professional, capable, and respectful to his team. It was a pleasure to work with him and his company. Michael A. McNeff, S.E. President McNeff Engineering & Consulting

Kerry Taylor of TaylorPro provided outstanding high-qualify work through his own employees and several subcontractors. All workers were consistently courteous, hard-working and professional. Worksites were cleaned up at the end of every day. We had only rough ideas of how our kitchen might be improved, but Kerry linked us with Bonnie Bagley Catlin of Signature Designs Kitchen and Bath who skillfully helped us realize a new kitchen layout that completely surpassed our expectations. We absolutely love the functionality and beauty of our new kitchen! Kerry is meticulous about obtaining quality work from everyone involved even if it meant re-doing something at his own cost to get it right. Work started soon after signing with TaylorPro and was predominantly done within 10 weeks. Work phases were very well planned out and resources (personnel and materials) were efficiently coordinated. We initiated several changes early in the project and Kerry was extremely responsive in incorporating the work while minimizing schedule impacts. We occupied the house throughout the construction and TaylorPro skillfully kept impacts to a minimum. Scope of work done by TaylorPro: •Demolished wall between old kitchen and small den including removal of brick fireplace and chimney •Expanded kitchen and installed new cabinets throughout •Installed pocket door for master bedroom closet. •Installed tile backsplash in kitchen. •Replaced tile and carpeting and installed new vinyl flooring •Replaced all in-slab water piping with above slab piping and added hot water recirculation system piping •Retextured living room vaulted ceiling and installed crown moulding •Installed additional electrical circuits from main panel for kitchen •Installed LED lighting and ceiling fans in kitchen and living room •Expanded master bedroom closet and reconfigured two other closets •Installed new window in kitchen •Patched roof to match existing •Stucco patching

After relocating to California and purchasing a home built in the late 1970's house, we immediately began looking for a contractor to help us update. We talked to a couple of contractors, but after looking at TaylorPro's reviews and meeting with Kerry Taylor, we ultimately decided this was the company for us. We're so glad we did! We wanted to start with the lower level. Basically we wanted to gut the entire floor, reconfigure some walls and update the bathrooms. Kerry recommended that we talk with Bonnie Bagley-Catlin at Signature Designs Kitchen & Bath. Bonnie was wonderful in helping us put a preliminary plan on paper. Because doing everything at once was out of our price range, Kerry gave us a bid for everything, but broke it down into several pieces so that we could decide how we wanted to proceed. The scope of the project we undertook for this portion of the renovation included a full demolition and remodel of the hall bath, combining two small bedrooms into one larger bedroom, expansion of the family room, demolition and replacement of an existing fireplace, and moving the wall between the laundry room and a third bedroom. We moved two windows and put in two sets of french doors, as well. Kerry and his employees were great to work with. If he said they would be here, they were here. They showed up on time and ready to work. They worked hard and cleaned up after themselves each day. I was extremely pleased with his crew. They were polite and mindful of the fact that we were living in the house while they were working on it. The subcontractors he used for the drywall, tile and bathroom cabinetry were great, as well. When problems arose, Kerry and his team were helpful and accessible. He returned phone calls and email messages. He helped us coordinate with the architect, engineer and building inspector. We really have no complaints. I hope that when we are ready to renovate our kitchen and master bath, we'll be able to hire Kerry again. We would highly recommend this company!

For our kitchen and family room project we interviewed five different contractors and TaylorPro was the only one who provided a line item by line item priced bid. The other contractors (some of them well known) would not bid the project unless we signed a contract. They said "Select us based on the quality of our work and we will work within your budget". Imagine signing a contract to buy a car without knowing what you are going to get for the price. Kerry bid the work at middle of the road price (not cheapest but not over the top expensive) and you know what you get for the money. He is detailed and reasonable with his construction contract and best of all he will not Nickel-n-Dime you to death with small items that pop up (extra outlets or minor changes). Further, he is very reasonable on change orders. We had one major change order for a window. The TaylorPro staff is awesome. They are courteous, attentive, hardware working and honest. They do an excellent job cleaning up to work site at the end of the day. Further, Kerry's lead guy on our project was Brandon and he worked hard to keep the project on schedule. Kerry and team are easy to communicate with, they quickly understand the vision and the design. We worked with Bonnie from Signature Designs to help fine tune our kitchen design. Kerry has some pics of our kitchen on Houzz showing off some of her design recommendations (large slide out pantry, appliance corner, lighted glass cabinets, and two piece crown molding to name a few). The finished kitchen design has exceeded our expectations. We truly feel spoiled and privileged. We have more storage space than before, easier to find items and greater functionality. The TaylorPro staff is very schedule conscious and they understand the major disruption these remodel projects have on the occupants home life. If there is any room for improvement it would be drive some of the TaylorPro staff sense of project schedule discipline into the subcontractors (Eric) because the project took much longer than expected. Despite that, I had fun working with Kerry, Bonnie and our cabinet maker designing and building the new Kitchen. Many thanks to TaylorPro staff. I recommend TaylorPro for top quality work, but keep an eye on the subs to stay on schedule.

Thanks to Kerry Taylor, I now have a beautiful, functional, comfortable bathroom! He is a perfectionist and he expects the same high standards from those who work for him. The subcontractors he selects are also exacting. Kerry is professional but easy to get along with. I selected him because I wanted a contractor who could think creatively but whose bid was within reason. I had given a great deal of thought to the bathroom and he respected that, however I could have used a few more suggestions, such as possibly another outlet in the bathroom. I just love my new bath and vanity area, which is a vast improvement over the old one. When I walk into my master bedroom, it feels like I'm on vacation, especially when I'm in my gorgeous shower!

From the very beginning, it was obvious that Kerry Taylor is a creative, calm, solution oriented person who deals with challenges extremely well. His professionalism, knowledge, and work ethic are exemplary and his crew mirrors every one of those qualities. From structural problems that required immediate resolution to working around other contractors (flooring, windows), to everyday cleanup and protection of our surroundings, they did it all. Kerry designed and built special structures to support the cabinet crown moldings that we had purchased and which turned out not to be as we expected. We hadn't decided on everything ahead of time and the necessary resulting change orders were very decently priced and well documented in his invoices and receipts. He came in absolutely on budget and on time because he knows how to efficiently manage a project so that the workflow is smooth. We will absolutely call on him for future projects.

When we bought our house in Poway 11 years ago, we were so happy with our huge master bath and Jacuzzi tub. It was such a huge step-up from our prior home. But just like the rest of the house, the master bath was already almost 20 years old and getting out dated and in need of remodeling. We broke up our remodeling projects into every couple of years, doing what we could ourselves and hiring out for the rest. The master bath was the last project and much too big for us to do on our own. We got 3 quotes from 3 contractors listed on Angie’s list which all had good reviews. One was a major re modeler and the other two were smaller contractors. We ended up going with TaylorPro because he was right in the middle and had great reviews. Kerry was very responsive getting us a timely estimate and had great suggestions for what we were looking for. From the start to finish it turned out to be a wonderful experience! To our delight, they were able to get started ahead of what we were told. Everything went almost as scheduled and we were informed constantly on where we were in the project. Kerry was very responsive to all our concerns or requests and we were never left wondering what the next step would be. His crew was wonderful, so polite and hard working. They were very professional, on time, considerate and knew exactly what they were doing. There were certain things we were really looking for in the remodel. First off, the bathroom was pretty large with a high ceiling. In the winter months, it was always really cold and hard to heat. To solve that we had TaylorPro install heated flooring beneath the travertine tiles. We also needed a custom vanity that would conceal hair appliances, most of our personal toiletries and have enough storage for everything else. The cabinetry was custom designed to exactly what we were looking for. Lastly, we wanted a classic, timeless look using tumbled travertine. After consulting with his designer we were able to select all the tile, accent tile and a beautiful frameless glass shower enclosure. The finished project was beyond our highest expectations and we won’t hesitate to use Kerry and his crew for any future jobs or recommend him to family and friends. Sincerely, Mark and Amy Buckley

Our selection of TaylorPro Home Services to handle our kitchen and master bath remodeling was one of the best decisions we ever made. Our relationship with Kerry Taylor began with his visit to our home followed promptly by a detailed bid. His bid was competitive and separated TaylorPro from other contractors. He provided a detailed, line-item breakdown of each part of the project, thus allowing us to understand the cost of each component and make adjustments, if any. Throughout the project we received an invoice each Thursday evening indicating what percentage of each line item had been completed and the amount due. Kerry estimated the project would require 3.5 to 4 weeks. Every step of the process happened on time, exactly as he had said it would until the cabinets were delivered, which marked the beginning of a long series of time-consuming problems. We made a huge mistake by hiring another cabinet maker who built and delivered cabinets that were measured incorrectly, made of vastly inferior materials and poorly constructed. Kerry stepped in, providing us with emotional and technical support in the often heated battles with the cabinet maker, who ultimately agreed to hire another cabinet maker of our choosing to rebuild the units per our original, contractual specifications. All of this added months to the project. Kerry stuck by us throughout this time though we are sure these delays, which were not of his making, resulted in his having to scramble to reschedule his crew. His associates, Jake and Randall are competent, polite, friendly, on time and communicate very well. They let you know when they have arrived and when they are leaving for lunch or at the end of their productive work days. They always clean up at the end of the day, solicit your ideas as needed and are otherwise a pleasure to know. They are completely trustworthy and had keys to our house throughout the project. Taylor Pro's sub contractors are universally competent and trustworthy. His granite fabricator is helpful and patient in selecting and templating granite slabs. His tile man discovered major problems with our elegant step-in shower installed by the previous owner less than one year ago. This added cost to the project, but we are very glad they were discovered and remedied versus encountering problems in the future. Kerry's background in his family's construction business and engineering degree combined with his unflappable, easy-going personality create the ideal person to get the job done on time and within budget. He is a superb communicator. He is always available, answers his phone or calls back quickly, lets you know of issues as they inevitably arise. He tells you what to expect in the near future in terms of scheduling, etc. and frequently visits the job site to assure all is done to his exacting standards. Contractors are notorious for drastically increasing their margins on change orders. This is not the case with TaylorPro. In fact, I was shocked at how inexpensive our change orders were. Further, he gave us credit for changes that reduced cost without any prompting from us. Kerry Taylor is a fine man who we have grown to trust and consider a friend. We have continually felt he is on our side and genuinely cares about us and our complete satisfaction. We will gladly hire Kerry Taylor for our next remodeling project, and so should you.

I hired TaylorPro's to completely gut my master bathroom which had a separate bathtub and shower. They installed a large shower with subway tiles, pebble shower floor, seating, and niche for shampoo, etc., and frameless glass enclosure. I purchased a tile art of a swan that they fit in amongst the subway tiles. (It looks beautiful) They finished the edging and seat of the shower with the same quartz used on my vanity. They installed porcelain tile floors, new toilet and a vanity with a quartz top, two sinks, mirrors and lights above each. The crew consisted of Jake, Lou, Justin and Kerry when he was available. If he was not working on the job, he stopped by daily to check on the progress and make certain all was running well. Kerry is an excellent business person and very professional. He is so knowledgeable and is able to make suggestions that are very helpful in pulling the whole plan together. Kerry is enthusiastic and a "yes" man which I really appreciate. The crew arrived promptly each day at 8am, worked steadily with 1/2 hour lunch. They cleaned up each day and did their best to keep it as liveable as possible during the construction. They are very polite, quiet and hard working and met the deadlines. I am so thrilled with the bathroom. Kerry has posted pictures of the bathroom "Simple Elegance". I highly recommend this company. I am making plans for my other two bathrooms at this time and plan to hire them again for the job. I have no complaints!

-Renovated 3 bathroom countertops and replaced the tile countertops that were original to the house and replaced it with Carrera Marble countertops. - Replaced 7 Faucets in the 5 bathrooms. The work included demolishing the old countertops, clean up, installation of the new marble countertops and changing out 7 faucets to Grohe faucets. I can't rave enough about how great of a businessman Kerry is. I'll preface this by saying I have extensive experience in real estate and properties. In fact, I've done over 70 renovations from simple renovations to the complete build out of custom homes. I always get at least two quotes before doing a renovation. This was no different. In fact, I originally got a quote from a contractor that our plumber recommended. I came on Angie's List and saw all the wonderful recommendations for TaylorPro and Kerry so I emailed for a quote. I was VERY impressed with Kerry's responsiveness. In fact, he came over to my house that VERY same day that I emailed to inquire about getting an estimate. Kerry came out and took measurements and we chatted about what I was looking to do. I showed him a few photos of other properties that I've gotten the same type of renovation with that particular marble. I was VERY impressed with Kerry's responsiveness. In all my years doing renovations, I've found that the contractors that come out the same day are very responsive and I've always had good luck. Plus, all the wonderful reviews on Angie's List certainly helped him earn my respect. That same night, Kerry forwarded me over a detailed budget that broke everything out in detail. Materials, labor, etc. His budget came out a bit lower than the other contractor that gave me the original quote. When I called the original contractor to thank him for providing a quote but that I was going with another contractor, this company offered to beat Kerry's price. However, to me it wasn't worth the small difference because Kerry made such a positive impression on me. I signed the contract the next day and paid a deposit. Something that I especially appreciated was that Kerry wasn't trying to make money marking up the materials or faucets. I always price things out myself and always go to the store to see what they actually look like. Most times, I just buy items on Amazon.com as they have everything you can imagine and I'm a Prime customer so I get free 2 day shipping. I noticed the original vendor marked up the faucets and also the cost of the marble. Not a huge amount but enough for me to know that he was trying to use it as a profit center. I never like that as a consumer. I don't mind contractors making money from their work but I always hated contractors that marked up items to make money off of that portion. This is where Kerry excelled! He immediately told me that I could go out and buy the items myself. He said he didn't care because he doesn't mark up and gouge customers on materials. I told him that I did intend to buy the Grohe faucets on Amazon.com. Kerry said that was a good idea. Also, Kerry gave me the name and address of his marble person and I immediately went out and selected a slab of marble and I immediately signed a contract. Kerry gave me an estimate of 3 days for the work. To be objective I will say it took a bit longer. The marble work took longer than expected. They did it over 5 days but on day 4 they were only over 2 hours. I would have preferred to have it all done in 3 days but Kerry was very open and even offered to come out over the weekend (originally they were supposed to work Wednesday, Thursday and Friday). We had plans over the weekend so we couldn't be there so we were fine with the extra 2 days which Kerry told me on that Friday. Kerry's communication skills and responsiveness are really great. Kerry also understands how important it is to be responsive. That impressed me. I can't tell you how many contractors over the years lost out on jobs because they were a day late on providing an estimate and I went with someone else. His staff were real pros. Something my wife and I appreciated is that his staff were very tidy. My wife was NOT happy with the last contractor that came over to do some drywall work after we added some lights. He made a MESS all over the house and tracked a mess all over the house. Kerry's guys were constantly cleaning so it was tidy. We really appreciated this and it's amazing how many contractors don't realize how important this is. The marble turned out GORGEOUS! It really changed the look of the bathroom. It's amazing how something as simple as changing out the countertops gives a bathroom a new look. I've done over 50 renovations on bathrooms and it always is worth the investment and it lasts forever. Few things look better to me than Carrera marble countertops that are installed properly. One thing I was surprised at is just how labor intensive it is to change out faucets. Although I've done a lot of renovations, I guess I've never been around when they changed out faucets. I didn't realize it took so long and there were so many parts. I'm not sure if all faucets are like this but the Grohe faucets have a million parts. His staff were great installing them and they look great! On the last day the last 2 faucets that we had changed out in a bathroom that we didn't get new countertops in didn't fit. There wasn't enough room underneath for the new faucet to fit. The alternatives were to try to pull up the sink and cut part out underneath or they could try to do it all underneath. I did NOT want to pull out the sinks and preferred underneath even though I knew there wasn't much room to work underneath but his guys managed to cut away enough to fit the new Grohe faucets and they look great. I didn't want them to give up because ALL the other bathroom sinks have the new faucets and we wanted to match them. His guys were GREAT and didn't complain and did the work. They didn't have the saw they needed so Kerry dropped it off. I really stressed we needed the work done that day as we had out of town guests the following day. True to his promise, the work was all completed on time and looks gorgeous. I can't recommend Kerry and his team enough. His marble guy Jeff is really great. All of the workers were courteous, tidy and conscientious of my family. The only downside is it looks so great now my wife wants to get the same matching Carrera marble to put on the floors and Kerry is bidding on that. Thanks Kerry and thanks Taylor Pro for a job well done. UPDATE: We did in fact end up getting marble flooring put in in 3 of the bathrooms. Kerry and his team did such a meticulous job. It turned out gorgeous!

We used TaylorPro to remodel our kitchen in 2013. We were so pleased with their outstanding service, design recommendations, and professionalism that we asked them to remodel our master bath at the end of 2014. Kerry is a pleasure to work with -- he listens to his clients and does everything he can to make the project go beyond expectations. We recommend Kerry and team highly.

We converted an exterior window to a door (which required moving wires, new framing, tile floor transitioning, stucco replacement and painting to match exterior, and hardware install), removed spa tub in master bath and replaced with a custom designed tile "rug", replaced shower/tub in guest bathroom with a walk-in shower, replaced kitchen/bath cabinetry with new custom designed cabinets and installed new hardware on them, installed Quartz counter tops on multi-surfaces, updated a complete surround sound system for multiple rooms, installed new Smart TV in kitchen, hung art pieces, installed new gas line and electrical for outdoor BBQ, converted all overhead lighting to LED cams, installed new electrical plugs throughout, installed new decorate lights inside and outside, and installed and plumbed new sinks, dishwasher and water faucets in kitchen, laundry and bathrooms. Member Comments: We have worked with many contractors over the years, and this crew of Kerry, Jake, Randall and Kevin were incredibly fantastic to work with! The professionalism and expertise of this young crew were EXCEPTIONAL!!!! There was not one job too small or one job too big. "No" was never an answer to any question. The price was right on target throughout, their promptness for each day's work was consistent, a day did not go by that we didn't know what the schedule was or who was coming, they were all extremely intelligent and capable of problem-solving any issue, they created a pleasant and fun atmosphere amid all the dust, and the workplace was kept clean at all times. Kerry is the key to this whole project. His organizational skills were incredible and kept everything running smoothly DAILY. We were never out of touch with him. He has an easy going/friendly manner that never was frazzled. His pricing was on target for agreed upon and added tasks as the project ensued. His paperwork presentation was very thorough and left nothing to question. All in all, this company is a gem! They became friends. How cool is that?

Kerry completely remodelled my kitchen. He demoed old cabinets and plumbing, knocked out a wall, took out some drywall. He redid all the kitchen electrical and plumbing. New wood cabinets, granite countertops, stone tile backsplash, sink and faucet. Installed 3 new ceiling fans. He ran home theater wiring inside the wall and attic so it would be hidden. I supplied certain fixtures and appliances, and I separately arranged for new flooring, painting, and carpeting for the rest of the house. Total project cost, including TaylorPro's part and everything else, was about $57,000. I was delighted with Kerry and his crew. They did a high quality job, and kept me informed at all times. Among the four excellent contractors we interviewed, Kerry struck me as highly experienced and confident he would complete the job on time. The work was estimated at 4 weeks; it turned out to take 5 weeks, mainly because the countertop fabricator took longer than expected. We have shown off the new kitchen to many friends, neighbors, and Facebook friends. They are stunned, it's just sooo beautiful! I get up every morning, turn on the new under cabinet lights, pour my coffee, and smile at the look of the granite. I had a special request for an island countertop that would slide back and forth. With 350 pounds of granite this is not an easy request. Kerry designed it and built it. At our unveiling we had old ladies moving it back and forth with one finger, yet it locks in place easily. A major kitchen remodel is an ordeal. You go 3 or 4 weeks with no sink or dishwasher. There's dust everywhere, even with the plastic wall they put up to keep it out. Washing dishes in the bathtub is no fun. But we designated a spare room as a temporary kitchen, and Kerry moved the fridge and microwave in there for us. We had the outdoor grill, so we didn't eat out very much. This is true with everybody, but Kerry kept the dust down to about 3 weeks. I had many detailed requests that were probably a lot fussier than the average customer. Kerry's crew was on top of every one of them, making sure I was completely satisfied. Jake, Randall, and Kevin, his crew, accommodated my every request. The cabinets are subbed out to Kitchen Emporium, who provided a high quality result, and Kerry passed along his deep discount to me. Jerry at KE was also very impressive, redesigning my kitchen layout much better than my original request. Jerry's team, Gil, Abraham, and Cesar were also very attentive to detail and made sure everything was perfect.
