In Their Own Words
“Thank you so much for your help in building our dream home! Your input was invaluable and we know the house would never have turned out so well without your valiant efforts. Our home is definitely a high-quality build home! Your ability to communicate with us was greatly appreciated. Your honesty and clarity made for a smooth transaction from start to finish. Your experienced staff helped make what could have been an overwhelming experience, both positive and memorable. Many thanks to a builder we would highly recommend.”

“We are writing this letter to thank Trigon Homes, not simply for our beautiful new home, but for the overall experience that got us here. Let me begin by saying that we started the process about two years prior to settlement. We already knew that we wanted Trigon Homes to build our new house, because of your stellar reputation, as well as personal referrals. Originally, we wanted to live in Dove Hill, which is where we met Terry and Jim Cheatle. After Terry and Jim spent a considerable amount of time with us (over many months), we decided that we wanted to build on a lot without covenants or HOA rules. Terry quickly compiled a list of available lots in our preferred area. By this time, we became good friends with Walter, who understood well what we were looking for. Walter actually visited the lots on Terry's list and narrowed it down for us. In the meanwhile, we thought that we decided on a model. Terry phoned a friend, who lived in our choice model, who in turn invited us into her home for a tour. We loved the floor plan, but decided to select a different model. Finally, we found our lot and were ready to move forward. Before construction started, Walter helped us lay out our house the way we wanted it. We basically rearranged every feature in the house. We added windows, took down walls, moved countertops, etc. After about a dozen plan revisions, we had it right! During construction, Walter kept us in the loop the entire way. We had input down to the last detail. When I decided to add two windows to the basement after the walls were already formed, Walter made it happen. There were, of course, a few snags. For example, the cabinet supplier went out of business just before the cabinets were to be delivered. We could not afford a delay, but the only available cabinets were much more expensive than our selection. Without a hesitation, Walter upgraded the cabinets at his own expense and the project moved forward. We finished early and moved in on the promised date. We have been in our house for almost six months now. We just survived the worst winter we can remember. And let me give credit where it is due. This house took the brutal winter extremely well. We built on top of a hill with no tree cover. I remember looking out a window one morning, the trees were bending over as the wind was absurd. It was snowing sideways; both our dogs were scratching at the door begging to be let in. But standing at the window, it felt like I was watching the blizzard on TV. It was nice and cozy inside the house, no wind noise, not a draft. We used the fireplace a few times just for fun. Personally, I'm almost disappointed to have a fireplace and no need to use it. This was our first experience building a house. Thank you, again, for holding our hands the entire way and making the process so much fun. And the end product shattered our expectations. Should we decide to build another house, we will definitely be talking again!”

“Trigon is an excellent builder and a great alternative to the big cookie cutter developers out there. Our experience building the house was really good. Trigon allows a lot of flexibility in the design phase, so we got exactly the floor plan we wanted.”

“First, a big thank you to Nicole from us for all your advice, time and effort spent on our behalf as we were working out the details of our house in Haymarket, VA. We could never have done it without you! To everybody: Just had a contract-friend (who does mainly remodeling) over to the house. He was very impressed with the quality of workmanship in our house; he said it was definitely the exception to the work he usually sees in new houses these days. Not that we ever doubted it, but we wanted to pass his words on to you since he is such a perfectionist in his work. Have a good day!”

“I can be long-winded, but I'll do my best to keep this short and sweet. Working with Trigon on this build (our second home purchase but our first new build) was a shockingly easy process to navigate. We had spoken with other builders in the area, but the process was confusing and overwhelming given that many of them do not help with buying land, whereas Trigon offers the lot and the house in one "turnkey" package. That immediately put us at ease, and Walt was able to tell us off the top of his head which lots he had that would accept our preferred floor plan and stay in our budget. At that moment, we knew we were going to build with Trigon. From the jump, every question we had about any aspect was answered in a timely fashion and in enough detail for it to all make sense, but not seem overwhelming. Everyone was easy to get a hold of any time we needed clarification or to change a design idea, and it never seemed like we were getting on anyone's nerves (even though I have to assume we were with all of our emails). Even when I had to leave the country for three months in the middle of the process, I was pleasantly surprised to have no issues getting quick responses to my emails, or getting a chance to see the build in progress via face time. After we moved in, Hannah and the rest of the Trigon team were either proactively checking in on us, or quick to respond to any requests we had. Nothing is ever perfect, and of course, a few small problems arose after we moved in; however, it never took more than a single email to get the problem resolved. We don't intend to ever move again, and Trigon's ability to build a house that is both efficient and relatively "future-proof" via endless amounts of custom options will make that a very easy goal to hit. Even our toddlers are constantly saying how much more they like this house than our last house! It makes me happy to know that all of mine and my wife's hard work is paying off with a house we can pass down to our kids, and that's due in large part to the incredible work Trigon and their partners are performing. Many thanks to Walt, Terry, Jim, Hannah, Greg and the rest of the Trigon team that helped us build our forever home!”

“We want to say a big thank you to both, Trigon Homes and Team Cheatle. It was a pleasure working with all of you. Everyone was so helpful with every phase of the building process. Walt and Terry thank you so much for be patient with us, when we were deciding on a house plan and the right parcel of land. I know we went back and forth a few times, but in the end with your guidance we selected the perfect plan and lot. Nicole did an outstanding job with adjusting the floor plan to meet our needs and keeping us within our budget. There were times that we felt a little overwhelmed with the whole designing process, but she was always there to answer any questions and to help guide us through the process. Thanks again, we love our new home and are so pleased with Trigon Homes! We will recommend you to anyone we know that is looking to build a new home.”

“Sherry and I would like to express our heartfelt thanks and appreciation to you, your entire Trigon team and your associated subcontractors for our fantastic new home. Every phase, from the planning through to the final occupancy, went perfect. To name just a few, Nicole worked with Sherry on the building plans, even to lengthening a wall to accommodate placement of unusual pieces of furniture, you oriented the house to take advantage of the sun light and the colorful winter sunsets, Jim's attention to details, that gave us assurance that no sloppy shortcuts nor compromises were taken and Tammy's keeping us up to date on selection of available options, that guaranteed us no unexpected surprises. The whole experience went so very smoothly and professionally. There are way too many aspects in the building of our home and our extreme satisfaction with our interactions with Trigon to list here. Walter, please feel free to give us as references to prospective clients and to show our home as an example of the superior quality of Trigon's workmanship. Thank you.”
