Description of Work: This is the second time I used Taylor Rae Construction. First was the installation of a new front door. Most recent was the installation of a new palladian window. Jeff, Taylor Rae owner, worked on and supervised the job from start to end. The workmanship was excellent. The price quoted was very reasonable. We are very pleased with the work done by Jeff and Taylor Rae Construction.

Description of Work: After searching on Angie's list for a contractor to replace our front entry door, we contacted Taylor Rae Construction. Jeff contacted us immediately and set up an appointment. He was very helpful in walking us through several options and prices. He answered all of our questions and even called the door manufacturer to confirm some of the finish details. The door was ordered and installed about five weeks later. The workmanship on the installation was excellent. They were very careful not to damage any surrounding areas inside and outside the house. Overall this was an excellent experience with Taylor Rae Construction. I would highly recommend this company.

This company was not only the best price, they were punctual and got the job done. We had an unusual lock we wanted installed and it was easier said than done to do and required them to come back to complete it - which they did. The job looks great and works great. Not much else to say. They were responsive, and even followed up a week later to see if the job was ok and up to our expectations. The only reason why I gave Quality a "B" instead of an "A" is because the rubber surrounding the door started to come undone a bit after a couple of days. We simply placed it back and it hasn't been a problem since. Other than that, these guys are great. We intend on calling them back for many other future projects as they door more than just doors and windows.

[member name removed] thank you for your continued support. We look forward to installing your windows soon. I was checking our records because I thought our price was very good for a siding project of that size. Please verify but I think the price was $14,500. It is very important to me that every customer feels we added value to their home and did it with top notch craftsmanship and fair prices.

It went fabulously well! I was impressed with Jeff the moment I met him. He told me of his engineering background, and I told him he could tell me all the gory technical info regarding my project since I have a science background and could understand most of it if he was patient with me. He painstakingly explained everything to me, despite my repeated requests to explain it one more time. (I am not an engineer!) He fully explained all the possible options and clearly explained differences. His price was a little higher than other estimates I'd received, but his knowledge and willingness to spend time explaining details to me more than made up for any cost differences. Jeff and crew (Bill and Brian) spent two full days at my house rebuilding my windows - new frames, new insulation, the whole deal. They even built and painted my new interior window frames (at my request, and part of the original contract) to match my interior decor. Their work was very precise, they did not mind me asking all sorts of questions as the project went on (just so I could understand why they were doing what they were doing at any point in time), and they left my house immaculate, both inside and out, upon completion of the job. I've gone through a couple of serious rains since the windows were installed and everything is perfect. I would not hesitate to recommend Taylor Rae to anyone, and I look forward to out next project together: a new deck - Jeff was very nice to examine my 27-yr-old deck and even crawl underneath what must be a 2 foot clearance, to examine how the deck attachment to the house was done and how it is holding up.
Description of Work: Jeff and crew replaced 4 casement windows in my townhome, using vinyl windows and the new construction method.

Thanks [removed member name]. Those windows are such an amazing improvement over what you had before and you will notice a huge difference this winter! With our full frame replacement method you have an installation that will last far longer than faster/cheaper methods the big replacement companies are using.

Jeff and his team of workers were on time, professional, courteous, and hard working. The attention to detail is very evident when you see the finished product. All old wooden windows, including storm windows, were removed, carefully discarded, and replaced with Pella replacement windows/screens. Each window was expertly installed with proper insulation and finally wrapped in white vinyl on the exterior. The result looks fantastic! The team was attentive to cleanup, vacuuming at the end of each work day. Per our request, they removed all stickers on the windows and cleaned them. They also cleaned up outside and you would never know we had any construction on site. Jeff is meticulous and makes sure everyone who works with him measures up to his standard of excellence. He will be returning later this spring to do some additional work on our home because we know we can trust him to be on time, honest, and hard working.

i had 4 different people come to my house to give me estimates for a french door. jeff was by far the most thorough of all of them. he took his time to explain everything after taking measurements. he even drew a picture of what they would look like after they were installed.not only was his price better than home depot or lowes, but he also guarented his work until the day he dies. you cant get a better gurante than that. the day of the job, he showed up with 2 other guys. these guys worked for 11 hours straight. hardly taking a break. they were very neat and professional. i am going to use them again in the near future for a mantle and windows. in the 3 years that i owned my house, hiring taylor rae was the best decision that i ever made.

The new window is of excellent quality, as is the work of Jeff and his crew. They did a 5-star job from the estimate to the final clean up, with perfect installation beyond any other company that we have used in the past.

Jeff helped us after Sandy did damage to the house. We had previous experience with Jeff installing a new kitchen door for us which went very well so we called him the regarding wind damage to siding, roof and soffits on our home. Jeff gave us an estimate for replacing/repairing and then came back when he said he would (delay in time from storm mostly related to Insurance). Did the work very well, no surprises, cleaned up and was gone. He worked with us to reduce the cost by reusing Overall great experience, planning to have him back for sure for future work.

Taylor Rae Construction replaced windows in two of my bedrooms (3 windows). Due to my Homeowner's Association requirements they needed to be brown, vertical sliding windows that did not alter the appearance of the outside of my house. Jeff was great about describing the different installation options, pros and cons of each and the cost differences associated with each option. The work was performed and completed on the scheduled date. Jeff (the owner) is very detail oriented and is focused on getting the job done right. They were great about cleaning-up at the end of the project and making sure that I was happy with the final product. The windows are a good quality window; I'm surprised at how much of a noticeable difference there is in the temperature of the two bedrooms now that winter is fully upon us. Both the interior and exterior of the window installation looks great. I have several additional windows and two sliders in the house that will need to be replaced. Overall I was very pleased and I will be using Taylor Rae Construction again for future projects.
Description of Work: Three custom sized vertical windows were replaced. The existing windows were removed. The old windows and all associated debris was removed from my home. The new windows were installed and the job was completed in one day.

Overall, it went very well. Jeff arrived when he said he would, and he worked all day until the job was done.
Description of Work: Jeff installed three replacement windows in our home in August, 2012. We were so pleased with his work that we asked him to replace five storm windows. In looking the job over, he informed us of a window repair that was necessary before the storm could be installed, and he carefully made the repair. He is respectful, efficient, and very good at what he does. When the job was done, he removed all the evidence of the old material, as well as the packaging for the new storms.

We used Jeff to replace our big kitchen window and to do soffits and fascia boards work for the entire house. It was a big job. They worked for about a week and did an excellent job. He is a real professional and I think has a BS degree in Engineering. When you meet him, you will find him a very trustworthy person. Most likely, he is my person to do all my windows and doors jobs even if he is more expensive as I know he will not cut corners.

Jeff and his guys were on time--they left no mess, and completed everything in a timely fashion. When they found a problem with one of our existing windows-- Jeff called me out and explained the issue. I was glad he did, for the window was incorrectly installed by a family member and would have caused us problems later. We opted to have work done too. They really did such a nice job, and everyone was so nice to work with.
Description of Work: Jeff and his crew replaced the soffits on our garage with a much sturdier version, fixing the damage inflicted by the local squirrel population and blocking their entrance. We also had several windows replaced with new energy efficient windows. Jeff made a recommendation for the windows over our kitchen sink. I can now reach and open the windows! Jeff also matched and replaced some broken siding.
