Taylor Made Construction

This was the second time we had Taylor Made do work on our house. Very satisfied with both jobs. Very professional, always on time, and clean.

My deck and front door landing were nearly falling down, so I got several quotes for replacement. Choosing Taylor Made was a no-brainer - they were the only contractor that came out on time and provided me with a professional comprehensive quote. Those in rural El Dorado County know that good work is hard to find ... so I'm glad I found TMC! We got it scheduled and everything went according to plan. They even finished up early because they knew I was expecting guests. The office staff, project manager, and construction crew were all fantastic.... and the end result is beautiful. Couldn't be happier! Services: Deck construction, Exterior structural repairs

Taylor Made Construction replaced our 30 year old deck in August/September 2023. The quality of the work and the responsiveness of all involved was exceptional. My greatest disappointment was that despite our readiness to start, the job didn't begin until much later cutting short the amount of time we were able to use our deck. We started discussions in March 2023; they didn't start until August 2023. The job ran significantly over the bid they quoted and there was a huge disparity in the way their contract was written and reasonableness. For example, they requested $1000.00 to get started; later $3500.00 for drawings; (of which a fee was added on top of the $3500.00). Near the completion of the job, when we received billings that were not reconciling, we discovered that we were not given credit for the drawings+ fee and told that this was outside of the bid. They required 35% of the bid to start and a few weeks thereafter a 50% progress payment. At which time they were still taking down and framing the new deck. The new framing was less than 1/4 of a way done. They were a long way from 50% of the work. A point that was later clarified, they wanted 50% of the original bid - not the remaining dollars due on the contract. This meant they wanted 85% of the (total) bid and only a small percentage of the work had been done. In additional, we had a lot of lumber remaining as the job concluded - which I assumed was our lumber. They started sending workers (that I never met) to the job site early in the morning to pick up lumber and any supplies; this after their workers had loaded large pieces of scrapes earlier, from the job. I called my contact and wrote a letter; long story short, they stated that I could purchase the lumber (I already paid for) back from them! They claimed that they purchased extra lumber along the way. When I asked for invoices on what was purchased, they stated that they don't disclose their costs to customers - which is not what I requested. In addition, early in the process we asked where the lumber would be purchased because we wanted lumber from BERCO and were told that was the supplier they used. Later I received a (pre) lien from a supplier in Rancho Cordova stating that the lumber came from their business. I was really disappointed with the excessive notches in the wood (after several pieces were installed) and they had to replace them. Before I signed the contact I showed Taylor Made a picture of what I wanted and expected; so I don't understand the confusion regarding the quality of wood. Also, when the wood was delivered it was in bundles and I did not see it until it was installed. Unfortunately, despite, everyone, (at Taylor Made) being very nice, this project is not a do-again relationship. Sad, because I have future projects and again, the structure (looking past the wood) is beautiful.

In July, TMC completed their fourth project at my house. The projects have been exterior (replace balcony, replace doors and windows and make the East facing exterior watertight) and interior (re-tile the kitchen floor, install 4x12 joists to level the living/dining room floors). I bought the house 3 years ago, well aware of the work to be done. In each project, I've been impressed with TMC's courtesy, professionalism and skill, especially their response unplanned issues arose. For the exterior project, we ran into dry-rot issues three times. In each case, they quickly turn-around an incremental work-order. Then TMC brought in the crew with the skills to complete the work quickly and minimize the impact to the overall schedule.
