    We had an exceptional experience working with Costa Bella Builders on our new home in Pleasure…read morePoint, Santa Cruz. From start to finish, the entire team was reliable, on time, and within budget--something truly rare in construction. The management team, Jeff, Vitt and Justin, were fantastic partners throughout the process. Their architect, Valerie took all of our ideas and turned them into a design that exceeded our expectations, creating the dream home we hoped for. They guided us through key decisions, from fixtures to finishes, and connected us with excellent local suppliers like Mission Tiles in Soquel. They utilized Oxford Cabinets, who created an amazing custom kitchen and dry bar for us that perfectly complements our open-plan dining, kitchen, and living area. Their craftsmanship truly elevated the space. We couldn't be happier with the final result and highly recommend this team to anyone considering a custom home.

    I was always apprehensive about hiring a contractor but I must say, with Costa Bella, every penny…read morewas worth it! Jeff visited us for a sunroom project, he said he could do it but he recommended instead another company that specializes in sunrooms and would be much cheaper. A few months later, when we decided to remodel our master bathroom, we called Jeff because he had earned our trust. Everyone delivered stellar service and top quality work and on time! Justin, the foreman is as precise as a Swiss clock. He kept me informed about everything without me worrying about anything. If I texted him a question, he would respond immediately. Vit is a genius, he can walk around and juggle the numbers in his sleep, he made some awesome recommendations when we were not sure, he is incredibly knowledgeable. Jose is strong enough to demolish your bathroom, but he can build a beautiful new one and always with a smile. Chris is quiet but he is obsessed with precision and let me tell you, that is ok with me. Raoul is the Da Vinci of the group, he does the electrical, the plumbing and can tackle anything, his talent is impressive. All the subcontractors were polite, on time, respectful and efficient, this is why you pay Costa Bella to do the work, they provide top notch workers and they deliver! I can't believe what I am about to say: They were all like family and they will be missed!

    We at Marathon Landscape Services have been in business since 1979. We have worked with many…read moregeneral contractors and tradesmen during that time. We were told a long time ago that a bad recommendation could hurt you and a good one was kind of neutral so we take great care when we recommend other contractors to clients and I can say for many many years Talmadge Construction is always at the top of the list of contractors and companies that we recommend. I always like their people, they are thorough and very very professional. ~Dan Johnson & Robert Eberle

We want to stay in this home until carried out "feet first". We searched for a local construction team that had knowledge and experience in ADA guidelines, as well as a track record for good design and customer service. The team needed to have a designer with these attributes, as well. In the past I had overseen the remodel of a bath, choosing and scheduling contractors myself. I did not want to do that again! Talmadge was an easy choice. Jeremiah Trask was our project manager and a delight to work with. Our designer, Kristen Totah, was the best (and I used to manage a design studio). She asked the right questions, and nailed it. Everything she brought for approval was perfect, and just as I requested. Jeremiah kept the subcontractors flowing on schedule. We hit one snag with a defective plumbing part that took a while to diagnose and even longer for the manufacturer to admit to it and send a replacement, but Jeremiah and the supplier kept at it until it was resolved. The bathroom now has multiple, attractive grab bars (I requested that even the towel bars be ADA grab bars), a large shower rather than a tub/shower, a custom vanity and new low-flow toilet. You can find a less expensive contractor, but not a better one. You get what you pay for.

While creative, Miguel always seems to have a strong internal clock that ensures all elements are done on time and in the appropriate order. Miguel has an excellent understanding of design as well as the highly nuanced needs of building departments, coastal commissions, builders and their unique needs. This facilitates a smooth process throughout the building process; he knows who to talk to, when to push and what items will be difficult. Miguel has a superb understanding of the internal harmony of the project and client. He has designed furniture for us that resonates well in the homes he designed. As a trusted confidant Miguel saves enormous amounts of client time by sorting through the infinite choices, and preselecting a small variety of finishes, trims that enables the client to make efficient final choices. Miguel also has the ability to integrate client ideas into a final design that become a seamless composition.

He is innovative yet extremely detail oriented which is a unique combination in my experience. It helps tremendously with the permit process which can be very cumbersome. He knows the codes inside and out and everyone in the various departments both city and county. It is obvious he is well respected. He does not turn in "incomplete plans" that have to be done over and over costing time and money. Miguel he has the unique ability to truly listen to what YOU want and then turn on his creativity and make your ideas infinitely better. I love working with him and would highly recommend him.
