Kitchen Remodel
Mark Rising was our general contractor we appreciated how important our satisfaction was to him and he was patient and accepting of any changes we made. Because Mark has such broad experience with building and design we were able to use a single contractor for a broad project that spanned kitchen remodel to archway install to flooring and baseboards, electrical and plumbing changes. The project would have not gone as well without a single person we could rely on for the entire project start to finish. Our kitchen and new flooring is beautiful.
Response from Tara Custom Homes, Inc.
"Working with you and David was such a blessing. Your project had so many little intricacies which made it for that much more of a Custom Kitchen. The Flooring throughout the main level gave it such an elegance enhanced by the extra tall, painted baseboard. Then your kitchen is such a great gathering place with the wide Island with seating. I love the cooktop feature backsplash with a Pot Filler! Then the final touch of the faux beams with hardware. It turned out so beautiful and I'm so glad we got to work with you both! Thank you!"

Kitchen Remodel
I needed my kitchen remodeled before I sold my house in order to get a higher offer. I got 3 estimates for the work and met with each one. Mark was, by far, the most polite, responsive, and informative one of them all. So we chose to work with Mark. From choosing products in the beginning, to the final walkthrough, Mark creative and mindful. Throughout the project, we started to realize our dream kitchen coming to fruition. It was so incredible. We really trusted everyone that came into our house to work because Mark would introduce me to them before they started their work. He even fixed some broken things (toilet paper holder, light switch plate, etc) in our house just because he noticed they were broken. Going through my remodel with Tara Custom was one of the best decisions I've ever made. I'm so happy with my kitchen and will definitely contact Mark for our next remodel and highly recommend him to all. Thanks Mark and look forward to seeing you again!

We hired TCH after seeing an ad in a magazine. We recognized a house they built! Mark is fantastic. He's professional, knowledgeable and personable. We gave him and his designer a few ideas of what we were wanting and left it in their hands. Our kitchen looks better than we imagined. We could not be happier!

"It was a pleasure to work with you and your family on this project. I'm so glad we were able to provide you with exactly what you wanted and within your budget! Your kitchen turned out beautiful and classic and was a great addition!"

Mark Rising was our general contractor for our recent, large exterior home remodel; which included adding a patio cover, stucco and stone (which was done over our existing siding) and a new driveway. The finished product turned out FANTASTIC and we continue to get compliments from people in and around our neighborhood. Mark met all of our specific needs as the project progressed and addressed to our satisfaction any of our concerns. Everyone who worked on the project was polite and respectful of our privacy and property. Mark knew our budget parameters and advised us accordingly when making specific selections. When he was with us at our home, he was always patient and we never felt rushed into any decisions. Thanks, Mark, for an exceptional job on our home of over 36 years!

Working with Mark was very enjoyable from the design to the finish of our remodeled bathroom. He helped us design a bathroom which fit our needs and was within budget. Mark was very hands on and his team was very professional. We love our bathroom and would highly recommend Mark.

Kitchen Remodel
Mark and Tara Custom Homes are the best at what they do. I hired them for a large kitchen and office remodel. The quality of their work is second to none. I have had other contractors in my house for various small things and they have all complimented the quality of the work they did. I don't know a better testimonial than one from others within the trades! I feel that Mark gave me a design that is one of a kind. I'm so glad we chose Mark for our project!

Mark Rising and Tara Custom homes did a great job with our basement. They were very professional and thorough to pass inspection with the permit process. I would highly recommend Mark and his crew for any remodeling work you need in your house.

Kitchen Remodel
The General Contractor, Mark Rising was professional and "hands on" throughout every phase of the remodel. He scheduled his specialized teams to do each phase of work with efficient precision and did everything possible to ensure our home was livable during the remodel. The outcome was astounding. He turned our vision into a reality. My husband and I were so pleased with our dream kitchen that we couldn't stop there. We ended up extending our remodel to our dining room (which we transformed into a bar), living room and entry way. We couldn't be more pleased or impressed with Tara Custom Homes! I'm so glad I hired them.

Kitchen Remodel
I asked among my friends who had had a remodel done if any of them liked their contractor as much at the end of the job as they had at the start. No one could answer yes. I had a completely different experience working with Mark Rising. He was friendly, competent, attentive, and fun. He went above and beyond during the whole remodel experience. I felt like I had an advocate and that he kept my best interest in mind the whole time. He had my back. Mark was extremely conscious and respectful of my budget as well. All of the subs who came to work on the project were top-notch as well. I was able to work with some extremely talented and dedicated people! The remodel consisted of taking down walls, relocating plumbing and electrical, new cabinets, new flooring, new appliances, new island, new countertops and sink, additional lighting, paint, texture -- the whole shebang. We love our new kitchen, it opens up the whole floor of the house and has given our home a modern, elegant look. I couldn't be happier.
Response from Tara Custom Homes, Inc.
"Thank you Lisa. It was a pleasure to remodel your main level kitchen and floor. I'm glad we were able to open up that entire space instead of keeping it so secluded and segmented. Your family was extremely accomodating and made the entire process enjoyable."

All of the reviews show Paul, the owner of the company and the father of the person who bid my job. Unfortunately, the son did not have the experience or the expertise that the father has. I chose this company because of the reputation of Tara Custom Homes, however it took over 9 months to complete the project. Also, the tiles that I was told were available were not the right ones, the shower floor was not what I had ordered, and the heated floor was not installed properly and no insulation was placed between the concrete floor and the tile like was recommended. Most of the time, no-one showed up to do the work...I was also told that a plumbing and electrical permit would be pulled through Regional Building, however an electrical permit was never pulled. I do think if Paul, the father, had been overseeing the work that it would have been handled in a timely and professional manner...but due to the inexperience involved in my project, it was a long, involved, unprofessional process.
Response from Tara Custom Homes, Inc.
"I went out to meet with this homeowner and introduced myself as the person who would run the entire project. We were not the first contractor to give an estimate for this project. Homeowner also had held onto a floor tile for over a year. In that time the tile was discontinued but the homeowner seemed to think that was my fault even though she picked out the tile before we were ever involved. With the natural stone selection, Custom cabinetry and Laundry rm in the same area, the timeline on the project was 3 months, not 9. The shower floor she selected was pebble rock which is not allowed per code because of it holding standing water and starting to grow bacteria, so the tile company showed her flat pebbles and she signed off on it. The heated floor was installed properly and performs as indicated on the manufacturers instructions. The homeowner had unrealistic expectations for how hot the heated floor got to but the product she picked could not perform to those expectations. The entire project was scheduled with subcontractors on site almost every day of the entire project. The results for her Master Bath was incredible and contemporary. Homeowner loves the finish and space. This would have been an incredible experience had it not been for unrealistic material expectations."

This was our first remodel and Paul was extremely helpful and a pleasure to work with. Paul���s expertise helped transform our tired, 40 year old bathrooms into updated, beautiful, and functional rooms. His interior/tile designer listened to us and helped us pick out the colors, tiles, stones and design that fit our tastes. The craftsmen that Paul employs are professional and courteous, never hesitating to answer questions or provide a suggestion. We highly recommend Tara Custom Homes for any remodeling project. Thank you Paul for making this remodel a great experience.

Paul was able to translate and transform a dream into reality. He did an exceptional job of finishing a basement! From the planning stages to the completion stage, I am extremely satisfied with the professionalism and workmanship I encountered.

Good job on the garage and all. Very friendly and cooperative. The only reason for the four stars is that I feel they could do a little better job of communicating with the client. Other than that--great job!

They exceeded my expectations on the project by paying attention to details. They were quick to begin the project. I would highly recommend this company for any project for your home as they are a past custom home builder and can handle any aspect of your home improvement. We are planning to use them for our hardwood floors as soon as our patio is fully completed.

Very professional, prompt and efficient. Their bid was a little higher priced than other installers but you get what you pay for and the final product was worth the extra $. I will be keeping them in mind for future projects!

They were very fast and Paul the owner, was right there to answer my calls. He over saw the shower I hired him to do. His sub, Terry the tile man was awsome and did a faboulous job on the tile in my shower. He cleaned up every thing too and made me and my husband very happy. I also had him do a skim job on sheet rock and paint the esophet in the bathroom and I really liked the neatness. I would recommend them to anyone. They are very polite and on time and when they were even 5 minutes late they would call.and that goes along way with me. Mrs. C. Johnson
