How do you design and build a modern kitchen that blends seamlessly with a converted 1920’s casita-turned-bungalow? Talmadge Construction faced a unique challenge:

White stucco cottage, red tile roof, mature landscaping, quiet, residential neighborhood and a bluff overlooking the sea – this couple were delighted to find all the charm Rio Del Mar has to offer in this compact, two-bedroom, one-bath bungalow soon after they began their hunt for a second home.

—Sandy & Nick H., Santa Cruz

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.

Rachel 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

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

“…He has a great attitude that nearly anything is possible. Jeff surrounds himself with good people but his greatest asset is himself. He can keep a project going without appearing pushy. And the quality control is excellent…”

—Dennis E., Watsonville

Kathleen A., Santa Cruz

—Kathleen A., Santa Cruz

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

Duncan H., Santa Cruz

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

—Duncan H., 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

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

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
