Testimonials


Word-of-mouth is the lifeblood of quality, high performance custom home builders. Here are comments and observations about the design/build team at Taggart Construction.

"I have neglected to say, often enough and strong enough, how very appreciative we are of your attention to so many details and your willingness to stay the course to ensure that our final product is a solid one. It's truly unique and a treasure to know that there are people, and companies, who care this much. Trustworthy, reliable, integrity -- these are all words that don't begin to convey the depth of your commitment. Thank you."
~ Matt and Diane, Scarborough 2009


"Congratulations on your recognition at the Green Build Expo in Boston with the LEED for Homes Pilot Builder Achievement Award. This award is well deserved as Taggart Construction is truly an early leader in walking-the-talk of sustainability."
~ J Glasnapp, VP of Corporate Sustainability & Quality, Andersen Corp. 2008


"Neil and I have always felt in very good hands with Taggart Construction. We appreciate your knowledge and expertise in the area of green building, and we are beside ourselves with excitement about the new house. It is coming along beautifully. Also, I've been meaning to mention that we feel Claire has been a stellar Project Manager. She has shown unending patience and professionalism in handling the many details of our project(s). We think she's a great asset to the company, as are the other folks who have worked or are still working on the design and construction our new house. So thanks very much for assembling a terrific team. It has been a pleasure working with all of you."
~ Neil and Melissa, Freeport 2008


“Your enthusiasm for historic buildings and great architecture, whether the fine houses and commercial structures of the past, or the exciting new residences of the future -- is an inspiration to me. You understand the need to preserve the buildings that make up the fabric of greater Portland, its distinctive personality and sense of place. You also “walk the walk” in building sustainable new construction that embraces the latest technologies, high quality materials, and green building approaches. . .”
~ Hilary Bassett, Greater Portland Landmarks 2008


"We were thrilled to get the good news on the LEED certification. Your team has a lot to be proud of. We're very happy we recognized a good partner when we first met with you and looked at the Panish home. We've also learned a lot over the time of our collaboration and feel all the more committed to your type of home building. We'd be delighted to work with you in any way that would promote green building."
~ Tom and Lee, Gorham 2007


“Thought you might be interested in some comments made about your construction crew. We've been meeting more of our neighbors as we spend more time at the building site. Two weeks ago and again this weekend we heard much the same remarks from two different people. Both are mothers of young children who commented on how much they appreciate the reasonable speed of any vehicles pulling out of our driveway. The woman next door also mentioned how the radio was never played loudly. I got the impression that this may be in contrast to other projects in the subdivision. At any rate, these guys are great and have made a terrific impression on folks that we'll be living with for years to come!

Love the house and quality of the work your crew is doing.”

~ Lee, Gorham 2006


“There have been several neighbors over to see the progress (including the ones that said it would take so much longer) and everyone has been amazed that it is progressing so quickly. You couldn’t have better advertising for your company. . .”
~ Jim and Lyn, Cumberland 2003


“We are extremely happy with the results. The high quality workmanship is evident to our guests as well as to us, and we take a great deal of pride in showing off our house. The cabinetwork in our kitchen is especially attractive. We hear many remarks from our visitors that they are very impressed with everything they see. . .”
~ Dick, Portland 2002


“The reason for this letter is to ask you for a tour of your facility. . .(a friend) keeps reminding me that her house is ‘earth friendly’ and built by Taggart Construction. Since I am distressed by pollution, deforestation, clear cutting, and slash-and-burn agriculture, and I want to become an architect, you are the perfect solution to my needs and interests. . .”
~ Emily, age 10, Yarmouth 2002


“We’re thrilled. Kids loved it. . . The kids just raved about the space; particularly the idea that you came up with in the girl’s room with those extra hidden cabinets. The lights, the electrical outlets, the boxes, the way they were built into the steps – really just fabulous. Everything is just absolutely spectacular, picture perfect. We knew it would be. Just didn’t know it would be that great.”
~ Mark, Littlejohn Island 2002


“Peter, you have an outstanding crew! We are very pleased with the workmanship, not to mention the reliability and dependability, of your staff. Every one of them was hardworking and friendly. . .”
~ Julie, Cape Elizabeth 2000


“I write this letter one and a half years later, in the study of our new home. Peter Taggart is the most competent, conscientious, and utterly trustworthy professional I have ever encountered. He is a man of unparalleled integrity; our home was built on a handshake. From beginning to end it was clear that Peter had higher standards of quality than we did ourselves. Moreover, these standards were reflected in the people directly employed by Taggart Construction, and in every subcontractor selected to participate in the project. . .”
~ Paul, Yarmouth 1996


“Projects that he (Peter Taggart) has built for us have been well coordinated, well documented, completed on time, and extremely well built. I also worked with his field supervisors and have found them to be highly knowledgeable, qualified and resourceful builders. Their ability to problem solve, coordinate work, and accommodate their clients in the field is remarkable. In my experience, there is nothing they won’t do to help out their clients.”
~ Scott Simon, AIA Scott Simon Architects 1996
