AVOID: Caught my house on fire…read more Turns out they used unlicensed electrical contractors and didn't pull required permits or get inspections. Per MD State Fire Marshall inspector Patrick McGaha: heated flooring installed by KBS was leaking deadly amounts of voltage under my shower/sink/toilet, and secondly it caught the wiring on fire next to my children's bed due to non-code wiring. KBS owners Paul Panah, Cemil Yilmaz, Henry Yilmaz, and Mahir Zeynalov knowingly put my family in danger as they personally oversaw the construction. The insurance carrier on their contract says they never had a policy, and a valid policy was not provided despite 3 requests. Instead of offering to pay for this to be fixed, they hired a lawyer and cut off communications. Construction with KBS was a disaster. Since KBS hadn't filed permits, they had to hide company vehicles and workers coming and going from our house (this was our first remodel and didn't realize this was strange). KBS had 5 different project managers during the 2 months of construction work, each quit KBS. KBS had 3 unrelated construction crews since they kept quitting too. KBS then made changes to designs that made no sense, like installing a stand alone tub against a wall leaving a 1mm gap instead of a normal wall tub. Cemil Yilmaz tried for 3 weeks to forcefully convince us to accept this tub, making us very uncomfortable with him, despite everyone at KBS stating this was not correct. KBS also installed a heated floor in HALF of the bathroom, and then Cemil attempted to convince us to accept it. Other issues: tile stopped before walls, trim height varies up to 1 inch, wavy walls, faucets had internal damage from install, gouges in tubs, scratches on counters, and cracked cabinets. We made a complaint to KBS Corporate about our experience with Cemil and Henry Yilmaz, so Paul Panah and Mahir Zeynalov personally came out and took ownership over the project. Cemil Yilmaz then began pressuring for early payments, and ultimately overcharged us $2,000 which he did not want to refund. Work was finished but no required permits or inspections happened. Fixing the electrical issues requires the entire bathroom to be removed and redone (since it is under the floor) Multiple quotes at over $80k, and KBS offered me $4500. Expect a similar experience at any KBS since Paul Panah owns them. AVOID.

A great experience from beginning to end. Mid-Atlantic did the design and provided the materials. A…read morecontractor they recommended did the soaking tub demolition, addition of a half-wall, and then installation of no-step walk-in doorless tile shower and new bathroom floor. James understood my priorities and limited budget, we settled on a few color combinations and design elements, then I took home sample tiles to see how they looked in the sunlit room throughout the day. After a month to let the decisions settle, the contractor was setup and the materials ordered. Very important: the contractor worked directly with Mid-Atlantic, I never had to be in the middle to relay installation assistance or anything ever (including ordering a few extra tiles when we had to add a seat to the design after finding in demolition that under the tub the stairway ceiling encroached into the bathroom floor space.) All materials were politely delivered on time, James was always available for my appointments, he worked seamlessly through the COVID shutdown, and they even accepted returns of a few unused pieces to get them out of my garage. Highly recommend, there were way too many choices and gotchas to approach the design on my own. Working with a professional was the way for me. Recommended!

They were respectful of our property, polite, installed the oven quickly and cleaned up when finished. The new oven looks great. They turned it on and set it to burn off the new oven fumes before leaving, and showed me the basics of how it worked and how to get the owners manual. It was definitely a great experience and I would recommend them to anyone looking to purchase a new appliance with installation.

Although my experience with my designer Angie-Ange, my appliance rep Nick, and the quality of the work provided by the subcontractors was exceptional, I would not recommend Bray & Scarff to others. The project did not start until July 21, 2025. When I asked why there was such a long delay, I was told by the coordinator that the company had seven active jobs and were too busy! The contract stated the project would be completed around September 21, 2025, but it was not completed until April 21, 2026! The project manager never evaluated the job before it began and his communication was often demeaning and filled with excuses. He allowed all the city permits to expire and then thought I should pay for the extension fees. The project coordinator was totally incompetent. She only reported on work completed, as if I wouldn't know, and did not coordinate any service without being prompted by the designer or myself. The warehouse was incompetent. They left $4,200 of ceramic flooring on a public sidewalk for two days. When they were asked to break the pallet down and stack the tile inside the house, they responded by saying it was "too hot". When they came to pick the tile up, they gouged the base the tree in front of our house and broke the realtor sign in front of our neighbor's home; perhaps they should learn how to operate a hand truck. When the delivered the tile the second time, they crushed six slate path tiles by placing the entire pallet on top of the slate. Because the warehouse did not inventory the renovation items the deliveries were incomplete or missing items required for the subcontractors to complete their work. On two occasions I had to purchase some items at Lowes so the work could be completed. Finally, thank you for assigning Ugur Isik aa a project manager in March 2026. He was professional and worked expeditiously to get all the missing supplies delivered, the worked completed, and the permits signed off.

So I really like the franchise in general but this is the nastiest most unsettling location I have…read moreever been to. And other locations have more business and wayyy less inventory. So my first time shoppingat this store, about 1&1/2yrs ago I walked in 20 minutes to closing, and was turned away at the door by a fat goblin with no neck, that was bringing in the exterior display items. I walked back to the car and my HWHITE husband went inside and walked by her and she greeted him. I followed him, and ran past her as she genuinely shouted for me to not attempt to shop. Boy did that bother and insult me. I quickly shopped and went to the check out with hubby. 3 empty handed fat losers stood behind the registers loudly discussing store gossip, including the goblin. Meanwhile 1 black employee tended to the long line of customers. Needless to say I haven't seen him or the other 3 since. Now fast forward to the date of these photos. I had been standing in line by myself and I kept hearing a rustling noise, and then I noticed the chips moving by themselves. Take a look at the photos and video. I was shaken physically when the rodent appeared. I asked a female Asian employee if there is a pest problem and she had a look of knowing on her face but asked me to elaborate. I showed her this video, and she actually didn't freak out. She rang me up and told me "that's not good, wow, have a nice night" Y'all this store has major issues.

We also asked them to do some additional cleanup work on removing excess grout from tile.

If I could give Talon Construction more than five stars, I absolutely would. From the very…read morebeginning, the entire team was professional, coordinated, and incredibly knowledgeable. They somehow turned what is typically a very stressful process into a smooth and collaborative one. We interviewed nine contractors before choosing Talon for a full gut renovation of our home. Talon stood out immediately as the most professional and detail-oriented team we met. We first connected with Darren in 2023, and his depth of knowledge was apparent from the beginning. He pointed out practical design considerations and code requirements that other contractors had missed. We went back and forth on the scope for over a year, and he was consistently patient, responsive, and generous with his time. He never rushed us and always made himself available to answer questions. We started construction in August 2025-- The construction crew had an excellent work ethic. They arrived early and worked hard - something even our neighbors commented on. They took pride in their work and paid close attention to details. The workmanship was just excellent. The work site was consistently clean and organized. They did a great job at handling unexpected situations and communicating that to me. Eddie took the time to explain everything thoroughly before moving forward. Even when we made scope changes, they were flexible and incorporated those changes without making it feel stressful or complicated. And probably the thing that impressed me the most was that they ran the whole project with integrity. They uncovered an improperly vented dryer which was a fire hazard and promptly brought it up to code. There were other moments like this throughout the project- too many to fully capture here - that consistently reinforced how much they value doing things the right way. I have to mention Eddie who was incredible throughout the entire process. He was calm, responsive and communicated clearly. He seriously made the entire project enjoyable. They were fair and transparent when it came to pricing and change orders. But more than anything, what I appreciated the most was their integrity, professionalism and genuinely caring about doing a good job. Everyone- Ed, Paul, Darren, Eddie and the construction crew were top notch. We honestly couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. I would highly recommend Talon and would definitely work with them again!
