"Rob is a joy to have here.  My husband and I agree that his time in our home feels as comfortable as a social visit, with the added benefit of his getting so much done, quickly and expertly.   His perfectionism shows in the excellence of his work, but at the same time his easygoing manner puts everyone at ease.  He often checks with us on job details as he works, to ensure that all is as we would like it to be, and explain our options.  He often suggests creative solutions to awkward problems and his experience makes him a true craftsman (in many different disciplines).
If I were forced to name one aspect of his relationship with his customers that I wish I could change, it would have to be that his schedule is very busy, and he is so much in demand that occasionally he cannot immediately schedule a job.  However, he makes every effort (often including working weekends if necessary) to fit projects in as soon as possible, and is very good at keeping in touch.  He is NEVER is a no-show.
We expect to have a long-term relationship with Rob, as we have many other projects in mind, including building a covered front porch, a brand new bath, and a complete basement remodel.

"My Full bathroom remodel was completed on time at a great price by kind and respectful employees of trinity contracting. They did a wonderful job creating the bathroom of my dreams and were very easy and understanding to work with, even with the many changes I made along the way during the remodel. I absolutely would hire trinity contracting again without any hesitation. Wonderful job, thank you."

"These guys were great!! We had a delivery of a massive new front, all in one piece, very heavy. They handled it of total care and stored it in our garage with all the very long trim pieces for installation next day. Kind of an unusual item to deliver so was concerned about the glass, scratching, damage. Again, 5-star handling and very pleased!!"

Pole Barn Builders questions, answered by experts

You don’t typically need a permit to build a shed, but it’s best to check with your local city clerk to make sure before you start the project. Every town, city, and municipality can have different rules when it comes to any home improvement project. Homeowners associations sometimes have restrictions on the materials you can use on your property as well.

In the U.S., original and converted carriage houses are most often found in New England, New York, and other parts of the Northeast. New construction carriage houses can be found across the country, and are often added to properties with Colonial-style homes for additional living, storage, or work space, although they can be found in many different styles.

The difference between a pole barn and a stick-built barn is in the construction. Large poles in the ground provide support for pole barns. For stick-built barns, 2-by-4 or 2-by-6 lumber (known as sticks) create a frame around load-bearing beams. Stick-built construction is far more popular for residential homes. Pole barns are more cost-effective because they require fewer materials and less labor.

A 5x8 trailer can fit a queen-sized bed plus additional items. It is one of the most common sizes for enclosed cargo trailers, open utility trailers, and dump trailers. U-Haul, a national trailer rental company serving most U.S. markets, claims its 5x8 enclosed trailer can tow up to 1,800 pounds.

Average barndominiums last between 50 and 150 years depending on the materials they are made from, how well they are maintained, and the environment they are built in. Barndominiums are very durable and have a much longer lifespan than traditional wood homes. With proper care and maintenance, well-built barndominium homes can last generations.
