“I cannot thank Talon Construction enough for the beautiful addition they built and was just finished in October 2019. Everyone involved was extremely professional. During the design and 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. I had no idea how much detail was involved with the design process until working with Brian. He is brilliant. The final product matches exactly what Brian designed on paper. I am still in awe.
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 is just amazing. They took pride in their work as if they were working on their own home. The addition may have been small but I knew it was very difficult for them to build the structure in such a confined space. They got it done because that is how experienced and skilled they are. Steve and Mike really became part of the family over the four months. For a week after the project ended, my 3-year-old kept asking when Steve was coming back. When something needs fixing now my 7-year-old asks me to call Steve and Mike because they are the best and he is right they are.
I also want to thank Eddie. He 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. There may have been a few issues but I wouldn’t know. Eddie kept the entire project going and had it finished on time! And thanks to Ed who handled the stressful part by keeping detailed records of all the charges, expenses, and payments and sending to me so that I did not have to!
I will be using Talon Construction for future projects. Paul, Brian, Steve, Mike, Eddie, Ed, Zach (flooring), Bob (patio), the quiet Painter, and all the skilled sub-contractors-thank you for creating a forever home for me and my family.”Dawn D – Home addition project Gaithersburg, MD October 2019
“So impressed with the entire process! They were professional, clean, and the daily communication was awesome.”

“In summary, Talon gave us a high-quality product, on time and at a fair price. They are honest, friendly, easy to talk with and true to their word as reflected in their “Bill of Rights” and “Code of Conduct” (see website). They say what they will do and do what they say.
As empty-nesters advancing in age, we looked to make our two-story house more readily accessible. This meant bringing the master bedroom downstairs and the food pantry upstairs from the basement in order that all our activity would be on the first floor. Through remodeling and putting an addition on the house, we felt our needs could be met. And looking to the future, the new space should include design elements compatible with an in-law suite, such as exterior access. We presented our general requirements to three local established building contractors. Talon Construction was an easy choice given the initial detail gathered from us and the thorough proposal they presented.
Our first encounter with Talon demonstrated the importance of a “Design-Build” concept. We discussed many of our and their ideas and viewed appropriate examples from their projects. In fact, one photo of his/her vanity with a vertical cabinet on the countertop was incorporated in our bathroom. It was clear that more effort invested upfront increased the likelihood the final product would be what we wanted. It was a refreshing difference in attitude, not the usual “I know what you want, trust me”. The design process went through stages, involving us as little or as much as we wanted; we preferred the latter. Designer Brian communicated well with us throughout the maturation of the design. He included 3D-CAD presentations along the way which was very important for us to “see” exactly what we would get at completion to ensure our satisfaction. Blueprints are sometimes hard to visualize the final product. It worked!
All tradesmen, both Talon employees, and sub-contractors were excellent workers. They were efficient, respectful of our time and property, provided high-quality results and attention to the small details, too. For example, if a piece of lumber wasn’t quite right, it was set aside. Field Supervisor Hutch was an excellent communicator of what to expect each week, important since we were living in the rest of the house during construction. He kept the project moving on schedule, getting the various trades on-site when needed and seeing materials deliveries arrived promptly. When issues arose, he responded quickly and consulted us if there were impacts on the schedule or field adjustments needed in the design.
The new addition blended perfectly with the rest of the house as if it were part of the original construction. Many neighbors commented on how wonderful it looked. Others said they really liked the interior design and quality of the result. Most importantly, the project Talon completed for us achieved our goal and we are thoroughly enjoying the result. We have and will recommend this company to anyone who needs a job done well.”Bob B – In-law suite addition in Frederick, MD August 2019
“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 the renovation. The informal estimate of possible scope, cost, and timing from the very first day were 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.”
