Architect-Led Design-Build Remodeling in Santa Cruz County
Talmadge Construction is a second-generation, family-owned design-build remodeling company based in Aptos. Since 1984, we’ve helped homeowners rethink kitchens, bathrooms, entire homes, additions, ADUs, and other custom residential spaces through an integrated approach to design and construction.
With in-house architectural design and construction expertise working together from the beginning, your remodel is considered from every angle, including how your home functions, how the design fits its architecture and surroundings, what it will take to build, and how those decisions align with your project investment.
From the first design conversations through construction, one experienced team guides the process and takes responsibility for bringing all of those decisions together.
