When selecting a contractor for this job the priority was to find the right company who could deliver the facility on schedule and keep it in the budget. Taylor Construction exceeded my expectations in every way. "

Scott and his team always go the extra mile, while being able to complete all of our projects below or at the bid price and ahead of schedule in many cases. Their attention to detail, their experience and their commitment set them aside as being an exceedingly professional and well organized company. I also appreciate their willingness to help us with the pre-construction scopes of work and budgeting in advance of our projects, which is invaluable in analyzing the feasibility of our deals."
