Our Team
Tom Shumway, President
Tom is a licensed General Contractor, Roofing Contractor, and Mold Remediator. He began his construction career while working as a custom home building superintendent. He immediately developed a love for home construction and working with customers to reach their goals. In 2015 Tom created Talon Home Builders and he is very grateful to be doing what he loves every day, alongside his wife.
Jennie Shumway, Vice President
Jennie started in the construction industry as a leader in a Big Box DIY retail store - from there she found her way to home building with one of the community's leading custom home builders and developed a tremendous understanding for bringing building materials and relationships together to form a unique product for each customer - she finds true joy in watching the process of a new home turn from dirt to dreams.
Jeff Light, Project Manager
Jeff began his career in construction as a home warranty specialist. Working with homeowners to solve problems sparked his curiosity to learn more about what works and what doesn’t in construction practices. This led him to seek and obtain certification as a home energy rater and green building advisor. From there Jeff began working with a local custom home builder. Jeff truly loves the process of building and seeing a project come to life, turning our client’s vision into reality.
Tammy Smalley
Tammy joins the Talon team with an extraordinary history in the building industry and an eye for perfection! Her father is a carpenter by trade and a general contractor which naturally led to her interest in all things building. Together the duo ran a custom home building company for 13 years when they moved to Florida from New Jersey. After her father retired, Tammy stayed busy raising her two boys and providing consultation services to clients taking on home renovation projects. In 2016 she found herself back in a full-time position with a luxury home builder and used her decades of experience to help guide customers through the building process in a stress free and fun manner! Tammy knows how to get the job done and loves the process from beginning to end!
