I can’t say enough about what wonderful people AL Talmadge services are. Professional, Personal people to say the least. I’m so glad I called Brandon and that he was able to get me through my septic replacement. Efficiency is the best way to describe the process. He answers when you call and responds to text messages immediately. They went above and beyond making this whole process so much easier and comfortable. I would 100% recommend them for any septic, drainage and excavation needs. We’re completely satisfied with AL Talmadge services and employees.
As a property manager, I’ve worked with a lot of contractors over the years, and Brandon has easily been one of the best drainage contractors I’ve worked with. He has handled everything from catch basin replacements to exterior drainage projects, and every job has been completed quickly, professionally, and with great attention to detail. What really stands out is Brandon’s communication. He’s responsive, reliable, and keeps me informed throughout the entire process. When you’re managing properties, having a contractor you can count on to show up, communicate clearly, and get the job done right makes a huge difference. I highly recommend Brandon and his team to any property manager, condo association, or property owner looking for dependable and professional drainage work.
