📜Where It Began

We are first-generation immigrants who arrived in the United States from Korea on May 18, 1995. What started that same year with T&B Flooring grew, over three decades, into a full-service construction and development group — T&B Group — under the leadership of Founder & CEO Tae Jang.

Under T&B Construction, we built a track record most homeowners never see behind the scenes: a Home Depot flooring installation contract, work as a State Farm Insurance PSP (Premier Service Provider) contractor, a Fairfax County contract, and — through T&B Home — hands-on experience building new homes from the ground up and managing land development from raw lot to finished lot.

2008 — Starting Over From Zero

The Reset

The 2008 financial crisis took nearly everything the group had built. In 2010, we rebranded as Blue Bird and started rebuilding — this time with damaged credit and no access to conventional bank financing.

We rebuilt by borrowing from private lenders and flipping single-family homes across Virginia, Maryland, and Washington DC. It was slower, harder, and riskier than the old way — but it worked, project by project, house by house.

🤝T&B Capital LLC — Leadership

As the rebuild gained traction, Tae Jang — carrying decades of hands-on construction, new-home building, and land-development experience — partnered with finance expert Karen Dematteo. Together they founded T&B Capital LLC as the mother company overseeing the group's development and flip business, pairing construction execution with financial discipline.

🏢
Commercial Building
Returning to commercial-scale contract work, the space T&B Construction operated in before 2008.
🏡
New Home Construction
Ground-up new builds, drawing on T&B Home's original new-construction experience.
🛡
Insurance Claim Work
Reviving the PSP-contractor relationship model built with State Farm and Home Depot.

🌏Growing With Our Community

A key part of this next chapter is deliberate community outreach — starting with marketing to the Korean-American community, and expanding into every community we serve.

Korean Community Chinese Community Middle Eastern Community All Minority Communities

"The only real gap between us and the large construction firms is the size of the contracts we win — not our project management, and not the quality in any trade we touch."

— Tae Jang, Founder & CEO

Our Mission

We focus on the investment market that mid-size developers and individual investors actually live in — not the mega-cap tier the largest firms compete for. Our goal is to share 30 years of hard-earned construction, development, and finance experience with the Korean community and every minority community we can reach.
