Services
Our own concrete and framing crews, and one crew lead who runs the whole job from dig to final inspection.
Service 01
One contract and one schedule. Ray or a crew lead runs your job every day, books the trades, and walks the inspector through. You get a photo update every Friday.
Service 02
Everything above depends on it, so we never rush it. Compacted base, rebar on chairs, forms checked for square and level, and a proper cure before anyone frames on top.
Service 03
Straight walls make everything after them faster: drywall, cabinets, trim. Our framing crew builds to the engineer's nailing schedule and checks every wall for plumb before sheathing.
Service 04
More room without moving. We add second stories, bump-outs and backyard units, and plan the work so most families can live at home through the build.
Service 05
The structural side of a remodel: taking out a wall, fixing a sagging floor, replacing rotted sills. We find the cause, not just the crack.
Service 06
Tenant improvements and small commercial shells, scheduled around your opening date. Night and weekend work when the space next door stays open.

9 months · on budget
Three bedrooms and a bath added on top of a 1978 rambler. New footings under the bearing walls, and the family lived downstairs the whole time.

Our process
Four steps, the same on a driveway or a custom home. You always know what happens next and what it costs.

We review or draw the plans, pull permits with the city or Pierce County, and set dates you can plan around.
Our concrete and framing crews do the structural work. You get a photo update every Friday.
We walk every room with you, finish the punch list and hand over the 2-year warranty in writing.
They poured our shop slab in March rain and it is still dead flat. The crew showed up at 7 every day and cleaned up every night.
Dale R.Sumner · Sample review
Talus framed our second story while we lived downstairs. Photos every Friday, no surprises on the invoice, and done two weeks early.
Priya K.Puyallup · Sample review
We got three bids. Theirs was the only one broken out line by line, and the final bill matched it to the dollar.

About us
Ray Talbot started Talus with one truck and a mixer. Twenty years on, we still pour our own foundations and frame our own walls, because that is where a building is won or lost.
We set dates in writing and tell you the day something slips, not the week after.
Engineered to code or better, inspected, and covered by a 2-year warranty.
Line-item estimates and written change orders. No allowance games.
Free estimate
We call back within one business day and walk the site within a week. The estimate is free and in writing.

Pick a town
Home base. Our yard is on River Road, so most Puyallup sites see a crew within 15 minutes.
Infill lots, steep driveways and old foundations: Tacoma work is mostly concrete first, and that is our specialty.
Custom homes and additions on the peninsula, with footings sized for the slopes and the soil reports done before we bid.
Remodels, structural repairs and commercial build-outs from Twin Lakes to the Commons.
Larger jobs only this far south: new homes, additions and shops, with a crew lead on site every day.
Also serving Sumner, Fife, Lakewood, University Place, Bonney Lake, Orting and Graham.
Estimates happen within a week. Small concrete and repair jobs usually start in 2-4 weeks; additions and new homes start once permits are issued, which we track for you.
Yes. We walk the site, measure, and send a written line-item estimate at no cost and with no pressure.
Always. Every Talus job is permitted and inspected. Permit fees are listed as their own line in your estimate.
Every job carries our 2-year written workmanship warranty, on top of the manufacturers' warranties on materials.
A small deposit, then payments tied to finished stages (foundation, framing, dry-in, final). Check, ACH or card.
