TAGGART CONSTRUCTION

When we set out to renovate our 175 year old brick row house, we wanted to find a construction company that would help us balance aesthetics, energy efficiency, respect for history, and cost. Taggart Construction was that company. Peter Taggart and the people who worked for him helped us think through many, many puzzles in a project that ended up lasting a year and a half. For part of that time we were not living in Portland. We connected with Peter via phone and Skype, and the process worked well. Peter was knowledgeable, thoughtful, and patient as we worked our way from insulating the basement, renovating the kitchen, replacing ten windows, putting a dormer and balcony on the top floor, and replacing the roof. Everyone who worked for Taggart Construction, and for Freeport Woodworking, the cabinet-making partner of Taggart Construction, was unfailingly thorough, careful, and nice. We would absolutely work with them again, and recommend them whole-heartedly.

Beautifully! They couldn't have been more thorough, cost- and time-conscious. A great, great group of people to work with. Even when we had problems with leaks in the sky lights they came out - again and again - to try to rectify. They did so cheerfully and with every concern for our satisfaction. We have to give them a lot of credit for working with us within our budget which even entailed leaving a few things left undone for us to finish on our own at a later date. They (and we) knew this going in and they were fine with it.

They did an excellent work. They addressed each problem individually, it wasn't just a general project. They really knew what they were doing. They're a construction company with great artistry technique and a lot of very excellent and interested workers. The barns received notoriety and awards for what they did. They completed the job in 4 months.

i inherited a hpuse that was very much on disrepair. from word of mouth suggestions, i caled and amp; made an appointment for a walk-thru and amp; estimate. Peter taggart, the owner, called to tell me he would personally be coming out to do the walk-thru. hterrible. he was late for my estimate, he kept saying I should just hire a handyman to fix what needed fixing, and even ripped a piece of siding off my house to see if there was rot underneath, and didn't resecure it! he insisted I needed a handyman, not a contractor, to gut and amp; replace 2 full baths (from the studs out(, the rotting exterior wall and steps, and to install a vapor barrier beneath the house. after he left, he admitted via email that he was allergic to cat hair, and dust. he never gave me names of suggested handymen or other contractors, even though he knew I just moved to the area and amp; knew no one. I would not ever call this company again no matter the circumstances

He came over for an estimate initially but has not responded to my phone calls.

I was impressed enough with the first presentation I heard from Peter Taggart, that I invited him to speak to another group, who were ell equally impressed.

Excellent, they arrived on time, kept the house clean, the stairs are beautiful

All work was of the highest professional standard, superb craftsmanship. The project manager, architect, and crew were collaborative, conscientious, and a joy to work with. The project was completed on time and under budget. We are totally pleased with the construction process and the results of the project.

I think he walks on water. He is really good. It is the second project I have done with him. I find his people to be incredibly flexible and responsive. The quality of the work is excellent. His people seem to take both joy and pride in their work.

A very professional outfit and a pleasure to deal with.
