Testimonials

Josephine C., Santa Cruz

“I appreciate the extra effort you and your workers took to meet our accommodations while living through a remodel.”

—Josephine C., Santa Cruz

Nancy

“I want to THANK YOU for the many ways you supported me – and most importantly CASA and our vision for building young lives.

I hope you feel great pride & satisfaction with the completion of your rather HUGE undertaking – a permanent home for CASA. You were an amazing, kind, HARD WORKING leader during all of it! Sometimes Allie & I would look at each other & just PRAISE your name!! Now CASA and “our” children belong to the entire community – we have insured that.

And THANK YOU for always stepping up for help building, hauling, finding free spaces, running committees, opening our beautiful home… and more!”

—Nancy

Angela C.

“Thank you for taking such good care of our house. Your diligence and attention to superior customer service is greatly appreciated. Of course, I knew that when I chose your team for the project in the first place.”

—Angela C.

Melanie Larson

“On behalf of the members and friends of Christ Lutheran Church of Aptos, I would like to thank you and the members of Santa Cruz Rotary, Sunrise and Aptos/Capitola for all that you have done to help build the fence for the Aptos Community Garden for low income people. You will be receiving a more formal thank you for your efforts. We are so grateful for your help.”

—Melanie Larson

Catherine D., Scotts Valley

“We thoroughly enjoyed working with Talmadge Construction, Inc. Jeff went far beyond the call of duty to accommodate us and to maintain an open dialogue to foster a relationship of trust and honesty. Talmadge Construction clearly takes pride in their work and we feel fortunate to have had them build our home.”

—Catherine D., Scotts Valley

Tracy

“Thank you sooooo much for organizing all the work at Camp Harmon!! You guys did an amazing job! Ive never seen such a project work like clockwork.

Thank you again!”

—Tracy

Jean B., Santa Cruz

“We heard numerous horror stories about remodels but happily we experienced none of them with you, your staff or your contractors. Great job all around. We’ll be contacting you again to remodel our bathrooms when we’re ready.”

—Jean B., Santa Cruz

Dennis E., Watsonville

—Kathleen A., Santa Cruz

Duncan H., Santa Cruz

“We will certainly call you again when we need more work done. Thank you.”

—Duncan H., Santa Cruz

“The story I like to tell about Jeff is we had a warranty deficiency on something on our remodel. It’s been two years since they did the remodel, but they came out and fixed it. That shows me someone who wants my business again, and wants my referral.”

—Rachel H., Santa Cruz

George S., Watsonville

“Overall best construction experience we ever had.”

—George S., Watsonville
