Taylor Bryan Company

We hired Taylor Bryan company for remodeling of our kitchen, a full bath, and half bathroom. And in the height of the pandemic, when products and the labor force were scarce, we still had the best experience. Kelly and Jill worked diligently to find the items on our wish list, and were very patient with us, when creating and choosing products for our new space. They are exceptionally talented. The thoughtful design and the craftsmanship is of quality that comes from creating with passion, care, and attention to detail. They are honest, return calls in timely manner, and follow up when there is a question or a concern. From start to finish the job went smoothly, and if there was any concern, Kelly was at the job site. I would highly recommend Taylor Bryant and his family crew for any other projects. In fact, Jill is designing an outdoor patio space for us!

We worked with Kelly and his team almost entirely remotely on our whole house remodelling project because we were based in Asia during the time of the project. Working remotely and with 12 hours time difference. Kelly and his team is very courteous and flexible. They would go the extra mile to help us coordinate with all the vendors when we are not available. Willing to be flexible and provide us with professional suggestions as we made decisions big and small remotely. They have earned our trust by being transparent and attentive. We are very glad to have chosen Kelly’s team for this big task.

Kelly and Jill are wonderful people to work with! They completed our basement redo which turned out fantastic. They focus on quality and created a wonderful space for our family to enjoy. I would highly recommend them.

This was our first experience with Taylor Bryan company and it was very professional and customer-oriented from start to finish. Excellent quality, clear communication and thorough and professional in all interactions. Alex always kept us notified of what’s happening next and we loved that they made the plan/ key milestones for our project available through an online app and kept it updated regularly. When it came to picking tiles and interior choices for our new space, Jill was awesome with her guidance and help. We really appreciated her inputs and she was very patient as we worked through options. Overall, it was a great experience and we love everything about our new sunroom!

This was my first experience with the Taylor Bryan Company and it could not have been better. From the start when Alex came to check out the space he had so many great ideas that I hadn't even thought of. Everything was so organized. The ideas and help from Jill with everything from the front door to the light fixture, the flooring and so on was my favorite part. Jill has this amazing ability to really get a sense of who you are and what your style is. Anytime I had a question anyone I would reach out to weather it be Jill, or Alex they always got right back to me. They communicated with me the entire way. I was never left wondering what was next, how it was going, or with any questions. Scott was the contractor that did the work, from demo to finish he was my guy, and what a great guy he was. Always on time, extremely kind and honest, and very talented. He was clean when he worked always cleaned up at the end of the day. He really did look out for me and asked questions, gave me tips and ideas and explained everything to me. The last phase was the pictures that Taylor came and took. Another great experience. Taylor just like her mom is kind and warm and very easy to talk to, oh and a very talented photographer. I will be using them in the future. Thank you Kelly, Jill, Alex, Taylor and Scott!!

CANNOT say enough good things about the Taylor Bryan Company. Amazing work. Amazing quality. Absolute class acts. Communicated quickly and kindly ALL along the way - including at all hours if needed. Always with a smile. Oh yeah: the work is phenomenal. Beautiful, creative, stunning. And doing the project was so easy with the way that they gave a clear estimate and timeline. Awesome work!

We couldn’t be more pleased with the renovation that Taylor Bryant completed for us. They paid attention to every detail, creating living space that we love to come home to and share with family and friends. The process was very easy both Jill and Kelly walk you through the choices needed and help you create a space that is reflective of your personality and style. Their team is respectful of the homeowner’s privacy and communicates daily addressing questions or concerns as they move through each phase of the renovation. Our renovation exceeded our expectations!

We had a small den that needed bookcases and a mantle and built-in window seats. Compared to some other jobs that Taylor Bryan has done, this was very small. However when I called Kelly he said a job was a job and he was happy to do it! Well, off to a good start and there were no disappointments. Working with Kelly & Jill was a treat. They are so professional in all of their ways from beginning to end. Jill took me shopping and if you want to even have fun making decisions, go with Jill!!! Her suggestions were great and I am still happy with all the final choices. We were impressed with everyone on their team of woodworkers, painters etc. They knew what they were doing and were good at it. We are so pleased with our finished den and they really wanted to make sure that we were totally satisfied. I also wanted some custom upholstery and found that their daughter Taylor does that. She did a beautiful job and was as easy to work with as her mom! If we ever have another project, Taylor Bryan will hear from us.

Taylor Bryan did a total remodel of our kitchen and family room, as well improvements to an adjacent half bath. The entire process was terrific, from the design phase, through demolition down to the studs, permitting, rebuilding and even support regarding interior design components for the remodeled space. Kelly and Jill are talented professionals who were on site regularly supervising their team, and were extremely responsive and helpful throughout. As a team, they understand both the creative/design side of a project as well as the technical aspects. The project was done on time, on budget and we were beyond satisfied with the resulting end product. We recommend them without reservation for any project, big or small and would absolutely hire them again.

Taylor Bryan fulfilled all my dreams for my master bathroom and then some. I only wish I had known about this company long before now. Over the years I ended up with sub-standard contractors who did extremely poor work. Everyone on the Taylor Bryan Team is a top professional, highly skilled and extremely dedicated. When we realized that it was time to finally have our master bathroom done over I began looking at pictures on Houzz of bathrooms that I liked and different things I hoped to have in our new master bathroom. When it became time to find a contractor to make those dreams come true we began the process of interviewing different companies for the job. This was especially nerve wracking since we had been burned before. I used Houzz to find contractors who did work in my area and that was how I first learned about Taylor Bryan. When we first met Kelly and Taylor and I handed them my wish list I immediately had a good feeling. Both Kelly and Taylor listened to my wants and unlike some of the other companies who tried talking me into things they wanted and didn’t seem to care if I wanted it or not I knew I was on the right path to choosing the right company. The bathroom needed to be handicap accessible, but at the same time I wanted it to be a beautiful bathroom as well. Kelly assured me it would be the dream bathroom I wanted it to be. When we met again to see the design we had the pleasure of meeting Jill. Jill’s flair and knowledge of interior design along with her wonderful warm personality made me realize that this was a great team. I knew they were the company to go with. Jill was a godsend to me. Due to physical limitations, I’m not able to go shopping and having Jill to work with and do the shopping for me was truly a blessing. When it came time to pick out the various tiles both Jill and Taylor would lug the heavy pieces down to the bathroom and lay it all out so I could make my decision. Jill would email me many times throughout the project with pictures of different choices of various items to choose from or stop by to have a show and tell. I can’t say enough of good things about Kelly, Jill, and Taylor, and the knowledgeable, professional, but extremely warm people they all are. Kelly and Taylor would make sure they stopped by at least once a week and sometimes more to make sure the job was running smoothly. Even my little 3 lb. 6 oz. toy poodle loved all of them and looked forward to their visits. When it came time for the bathroom to be gutted down to the studs I had the pleasure of meeting my Project Manager Dave who was onsite every day to not only oversee the job to make sure everything ran smoothly, but takes pride in his own excellent, quality work down to the last detail. Dave was an absolute pleasure to work with and when I wanted to add some things he made sure it happened. He made sure the work area was picked up and vacuumed at the end of the work day. Some of the other people I want to mention because they were all part of this amazing job are Ryan and Tyler (who worked with Dave). Taylor Bryan Company uses the best subcontractors that I have seen which includes Jim and Amber (tile) Paul, Sr., and Paul, Jr. (plumbing), Bill (custom cabinets), Rick (Oasis Glass) as well as the electricians. Now that the project is complete it is everything I hoped it would be. I can’t thank the Taylor Bryan Company enough. They became like family and I am going to miss them. I highly recommend anyone who is looking to have high quality work done on their home to use Taylor Bryan Company. Not only do they do first class top quality work, they also use the best subcontractors, and keep their promise to make sure all work is done just as it was promised and stand behind it.

The Taylor Bryan Company is wonderful. They are easy to work with and will make your living space a dream come true. They worked on our entire home and most recently our nursery. We couldn't be happier with the results. Jill is a talented designer and knows exactly what a room needs. We are so grateful and will most certainly use them for our future home projects. Thank you Taylor Bryan Company!

We hired Taylor Bryan to remodel our bathroom. The project included gutting the bathroom and restarting from there. We are very happy with the quality of the project and the allowances given to rebuild the bathroom. The added bonus was working with Jill in the selection of products and colors. We are extremely happy with the outcome of the project and would work with them again in a heartbeat.

Taylor Bryan was highly recommended to us by friends, and we were not disappointed. Kelly and Jill are extremely professional and easy to work with. They listened to our concerns and worked with us to create a more functional, beautiful home we are very proud of. Their team is very professional and clean. It was a pleasure having them here for 8 months. I have recommended Taylor Bryan to all my friends and neighbors.

We hired Taylor Bryan Co. to do a kitchen remodel, which included some changes to the entryway and family room. We are extremely pleased with the results of the project. The quality of the materials and the workmanship are excellent, and the project was completed on time, as well as slightly under budget! Kelly met with us on a weekly basis and was prompt in addressing any issues or concerns we might have had (there were few). Jill assistance with selecting appliances, cabinets, hardware, color-schemes - you name it, was invaluable to me. She took an overwhelming task and made it manageable and enjoyable. We would highly recommend Taylor Bryan and their knowledgeable, skilled crew for any home project you may be considering! We will definitely be bringing them back for future jobs!

I have searched for many years to find the right team to complete my home renovations. My house was in desperate need of a "face lift." I contacted Kelly and Jill and knew immediately this was the right team to select. They were able to provide plans and details that were accurate and complete. Every step of the way, they were available to make sure that work was done on time and to perfection. Kelly had the plans ready to go and Jill made sure that all materials and details were addressed. Jill and I even went shopping several times to select materials that would be to my liking and make the project a success. I had my home framed with white siding that looks amazing! Stone work was completed on the steps and walkway. It is intricate and professional. Lastly, the house was given a new front gable and door entrance. The final result is beyond stunning! I have received nothing but rave reviews from family and friends. We look at original pictures of the house and cannot believe the transformation. Kelly, Jill & team are professional, respectful, dedicated, and highly skilled. They listen to what the client would like and provide assistance, advice, and work to make each request a reality. I cannot thank them enough for the new look they created. My house is now a masterpiece!

Thank You for doing a great job and we are very happy with the results. We interviewed several builders prior to selecting Taylor-Bryan. Their all-inclusive approach, quality of workmanship and attention to detail was evident after we visited a completed project. Because we have a relatively small kitchen, the utilization of space and minimizing interferences was very important in the layout. Together with Taylor Bryan and their cabinet designer, we made great use of the available space. Once the layout was complete, Jill escorted us around to several Design Centers helping us select appliances, cabinet styles and handles, lighting options, counter tops, paint etc. which was very helpful. The installation of the kitchen was fun to watch and the guys were a pleasure to be around. I’m sure we tested their patience at times with all the “while you’re at its” but they were always accommodating, did a great job and the job site was clean up every night. We recommend Taylor Bryan to anyone looking for quality workmanship done professionally, on time and in Budget. We have already had them back for a second project.

From start to finish, our kitchen remodel with Taylor Bryan was an exceptional experience. Kelly really took the time to understand what we needed and wanted out of our kitchen, developing a plan that felt unique to our space and that was beautiful and functional. He was very creative in finding ways to achieve our goals while staying within our budget, and we could not be happier with the result. Aside from the very high quality of their work, Kelly and Jill have the most amazing level of customer service. They responded to texts and calls very promptly, and for every concern the response was "we'll take care of it." And they did. They went above and beyond to resolve all issues that came up, to the extent that Kelly himself resealed our driveway after a subcontractor left a spill on it. Having Jill work with us on materials and colors was one of the reasons we chose Taylor Bryan. She has a great eye for color and design and knows where to go to find the best materials. She was able to understand the look and feel that I wanted to achieve and went with me to shop for everything. Without her ideas and feedback our kitchen wouldn't look nearly as good as it does. It's not easy to have workers in and out of your house for several months, but everyone who worked on our project was professional, neat, skilled, friendly, and generally good guys. In fact, the entire process went a lot more smoothly than I thought it would. We are so happy with the result.

It has been a pleasure to collaborate with the professionals at Taylor Bryan for the editorial and portfolio photos I have taken of their beautiful projects. I have been so impressed with their hard work, innovative designs and the full service business model which serves so many satisfied clients so well in creating their dream homes. It is no surprise that their work has found its way onto the glossy pages of a national home magazine. I highly recommend Taylor Bryan Company.

To put it simply, we made the right choice when we selected Taylor Bryan for our kitchen remodel project. Every step of the process - from our initial meeting to the definition of our contract, from selection of key items (cabinets, appliances, plumbing, tile, etc) to the day-to-day aspects of having a team in our home for several months, to their availability and really sharp eye for design, they really surpassed our expectations. We first met Kelly Neale at the CT Home Show and, after reviewing Taylor Bryan's Houzz photos as well as their website, put them on our short list of firms to bring to our home for further conversations. When Kelly visited our home, we realized that Taylor-Bryan offered the extra bit of design help we sought (to help us sift through our own ideas and help make them work in a cohesive manner) paired with mastery of the construction craft. We also realized that working with a relatable and trustworthy team was important, as they would be in our home for quite a while, and we wanted to be sure we felt comfortable sharing concerns (if they arose) with any member of the team and knowing they'd be addressed.We were thrilled with the design that Kelly came up with after hearing our lengthy "must have" and "nice to have" lists. He suggested a few edits which we quickly saw were spot on. Everything else we wanted, he was able to incorporate. We now have our dream kitchen. Once the high-level plan was complete, interior designer Jill came to center stage. She very quickly got a handle on our design aesthetic and was amazingly effective in helping us navigate the incredible number of choices that had to be made. Using her industry contacts, we felt very supported as we worked our way through detailed cabinet specifications, appliance selection, lighting, and so on, all the way to drapes and shades and other finishing design touches. Our kitchen is so "us," but we would have never known how to do it on our own. Lastly, the work has to go well to make a project a success. The Taylor Bryan team, led by project manager Dan, and the variety of subcontractors that were brought in (electrical, flooring,...) were amazing. They were flexible around our timing requirements, as we have two small children, were a pleasure to interact with, and most importantly knew their craft. We were also amazed at how clean the team left out home every single day. Finally, because of some good fortune and crafty thinking, Taylor Bryan was able to set us up with a working temporary kitchen in our dining room (oven, cooktop, fridge/freezer, micro, mini pantry), so our day-to-day cooking and eating was largely unaffected by the total renovation occurring in the kitchen - only the need to wash dishes in the bathroom sink. This extra touch allowed us to avoid the chief concern/complaint that people tend to have with renovations - the disruption. Amazingly, we avoided that stressor. We cannot say enough great things about Taylor Bryan and hope to use them again for future projects.

They completed job ahead of time and their workers were timely and polite. I would recommend them to anyone needing a small or large project. They also stand by their work, so if there's a problem in the future they will remedy any problems.

Ever since moving into our home we have had a desire to turn our old weathered wood deck into a screened porch. We hired the Taylor Bryan team and were not disappointed. From the beginning to the end of the project Kelly Neale was always accessible to us. Kelly’s designs with the CAD drawings were so amazing and helpful to determine which design best suited our screened porch vision. All of the workers were extremely polite and efficient. While the project ran into a few delays related to obtaining materials they kept us informed and communicated well throughout. Now that the project is completed the end result is just AMAZING. We get compliments all of the time from neighbors and friends who want to have one of their own. We are so thankful to the Taylor Bryan Company for making our screened porch dream a reality.

My husband and I finally decided it was time to finish our basement, after talking about it for several years. Although we knew what we wanted, we had trouble visualizing a layout, not to mention a lot of trepidation over choosing a contractor. After calling and meeting with two other contractors, I came across Taylor-Bryan on Houzz. Their photos impressed us, especially the attention to detail and finish work. We decided to take a chance and call a company that no one had recommended to us (the way we typically hire contractors). We were not disappointed; they were very professional from our first meeting to the very end of the project. They were fair and easy to communicate with throughout. Kelly & Jill Neale make an awesome team. With computer renderings (CAD software), Kelly was able to give us a 3-D layout of what we were thinking and changed the plan as many times as needed before we had the final plan. Jill worked with us on various design elements, helped make sure the space would flow properly, and was an invaluable guide with picking finishes and decor. Even though the job is finished, she is still helping guide us to fill the space stylishly. Kelly’s team showed up at the same time every day, until the job was done. The foreman, Matt, was particularly keen on moving the job forward with the least amount of disruption for us. He looked out for our best interests while overseeing the sub-contractors. He was a pleasure to work with. We did throw them several curves during the process, and each time Kelly responded promptly and was very eager to make changes in order to complete things the way we wanted. When one subcontractor was not working up to par, Kelly took care of it immediately. We decided to add a bar area at the end of the project and Kelly didn’t miss a beat. He made it happen and Jill advised us to help make it look great without breaking the budget. We love our new space and are so happy to have worked with Kelly & Jill. We look forward to working with them on future projects.

Everyone on the Taylor Bryan Team is a top professional, highly skilled, and extremely dedicated. From the very start to the punch list, not one detail was left unattended. They are truly the BEST group to work with. This is the 2nd project that Taylor Bryan has completed for us and we will have them back for more. Highly Recommended!!!

Kelly's designs and Jill's attention to detail prove to be a winning combination. They built us an amazing space we will enjoy for many years. The project was well managed from demolition through framing and finish. Everything was done in a timely maner with the schedule communicated so we knew what was happening at all times. The team of contractors they put together were very personable, professional and detail oriented. We consider everyone at the Taylor Bryan company to be part of our family they will be missed. We would work with them again in the future if the occasion would arise.

We selected Taylor Bryan to remodel our outdated master bathroom. We consulted with four contractors/designers before making our selection. We chose Taylor Bryan because Kelly Neale really listened to our needs and suggestions for this bathroom and created the best design. When the project began, we knew right away we had chosen the right company. We were impressed with the professionalism of Kelly's team. Dan, our project manager, kept us informed on a daily basis as to who would be coming and the work that was to be accomplished. He also helped to maintain the schedule and keep everything on track. Everyone who came to work on this project was excellent. They were here on time, did excellent work, and were respectful of our home. They were careful to keep the work area clean and to keep the disruption to our home to a minimum. Jill Neale was wonderful helping us with the many details of the bathroom. She helped to guide us in selecting the bathroom fixtures, tile, vanity, hardware, and made sure everything worked with our plan and stayed within our budget. We are extremely pleased with our bathroom remodel and the entire experience we had with the Taylor Bryan Company. Kelly and Jill were great to work with and we would definitely use Taylor Bryan again on any home improvement project we do in the future.

Jill Neale is a talented professional interior decorator with knowledgeable contacts and a wonderful personality. I have never worked with an interior decorated before and Jill Neale made the entire experience of redoing our kitchen exciting, stress free and extremely enjoyable. She has wonderful relationships with the industry professionals. Jill is patient and respectful of her customer's time and budget. No changes were made to our design without a firm commitment and permission from me. Jill possesses an enormous amount of energy, and know how when it comes to styles, materials, prices and suppliers. I would work with Jill Neale again in a New York minute!

TAYLOR BRYAN RENOVATION Renovating our aging kitchen was not just a dream any more, for 2010 it became the plan! My husband called several companies for an overview of how we should approach this daunting task. Trying to make sense of piles of ideas was pretty overwhelming for me. (it’s much easier for him!) He spent weeks comparing quotes and the capabilities each company brought to the table. And who did we want in our home for 5 months? When Kelley and Jill Neale stopped over with Tom and Jim Dadmun, there was no more confusion about who would give our home a much-needed face-lift. We met with the members of Taylor Bryan Company and everything just fell into place. Finally! Someone wanted to do what WE wanted. We realized that every concern continued to be addressed during the process. We were comfortable with who'd be working in our home and felt confident. This would be a major project, the entire area torn out down to the studs. But when it became clear to me what preparation was entailed for this renovation -- I had a deer-in-the-headlights reaction. With work and family keeping me on overdrive, where would I start? Every drawer, cabinet and cupboard would need to be emptied -- how would I find anything again? How is it sorted? How would I ever get it all back? Where would everything go in the completely new space? Here's where my savior flies in on angel wings. Jill Neale, a warm, savvy, personable interior designer, comes from a restaurant family. Need I say it? She knows kitchens! Jill knew every trick in the book, all the shortcuts to quickly organizing a very overwhelming project into something that could be completed more simply and efficiently. A total renovation demands decisions. We spent hours trying to coordinate cabinets, tile, counter tops, fixtures. How do you narrow it down with hundreds from which to choose? We didn't have time to wade through hundreds of samples and drive to 16 different companies. Jill picked a group to select from-- asking for ideas on styles we liked and coming up with the most compatible ideas for us. If we couldn't choose -- she found alternative samples. This comes down to understanding the client's taste and preferences. I watched with admiration as Jill, Kelley, Tom and Jim showed -- in detail -- what we could expect to make the dream a reality. They did all this with genuine warmth and understanding. Jill even found the perfect lamp and cabinet for an impossible-to-fit-space across from the kitchen area. She introduced elegant fabric for a lovely kitchen window seat and washable seat covers. It’s now 2013. We are so pleased with our kitchen/laundry/dining area, it’s hard to even put this into words, but I'd recommend that before you begin your home project -- meet them. You'll see! ~ DeAnna Dibble

We hired Taylor Bryan to renovate our kitchen - and they did an amazing job! From the initial design phase through project completion they consistently met and often exceeded our expectations. Kelly and his team, including the contractors who made our beautiful new kitchen possible were very easy to work with and truly experts in their trade. And at the end of every day, all the tools were put away and the work areas tidied up! Jill was a tremendous help during the design and shopping phase - she listened to what we wanted, then researched and suggested great ideas, including proposals re-loading cabinets and drawers. Jim, our on site manager reported daily on next steps and routinely juggled resource to ensure Taylor Bryan met the promised completion date. Many thanks to the entire Taylor Bryan team for creating our beautiful kitchen, completing the project on time and making the entire process such a painless and positive experience! We are so glad we chose Taylor Bryan! Shelby & Bill

We did a whole house remodel with Taylor Bryan. The work was high quality, deeply respectful of our specific needs and unbelievably beautiful! We had our own architect but little changes are always needed and TB company staff were more than willing to bend or tweak to accommodate these changes. Also, the subcontractors Taylor Bryan use are exceptional; each talented in their own way. Particularly tile and cabinetry. We had a high level of expectation, as all homeowners do I am sure. Our expectations were exceeded by far. I suggest that this company be at the top of the list for anyone considering renovation or building.

To the studs! That is where Taylor Bryan demolished our 1951 bathrooms before they transformed them to the 21st Century! From demolition to the designing details, someone from Taylor Bryan was there to help. I wanted to keep the integrity of our mid-century contemporary home and they did. Their carpenters made the trim to match the rest of the house and the awesome, space saving pocket doors they installed were stained perfectly to match existing doors as well. Their employees,as well as those whom they had to contract some work, treated our home with respect. I don't think Taylor Bryan would accept otherwise. Taylor Bryan not only renovated two bathrooms but did so beyond my expectation, kept my husband and I well informed through every step of the process. If you don't want a rush job and shoddy work I highly recommend Taylor Bryan. Slow and steady wins the race!

Taylor Bryan designed and built a major kitchen/half bath/mudroom renovation for our 1960's home. They were courteous, knowledgable, creative and wonderful to work with. They listened to our wants and needs and worked with us patiently to come to a design that satisfied both our wants in terms of space and our needs in term of a budget. They also were willing to help us envision a fourth bedroom addition that we will hopefully undertake in the near future. We needed to "see" the whole picture renovation before committing to the first-stage of the renovation and they were willing to do this with us. They also worked with us to figure out a solution of where to put the washer/dryer for we had to move it from its existing space on the first floor for the 1st stage of the renovation but weren't ready to put it where it will eventually go once the second stage of the renovation is complete. They began the project on time, finished on time and the price of the project was exactly the price we agreed upon (to the penny). We would recommend them for sure!!!
