In Their Own Words
“Let me first say Thank You very much for a wonderful new home! It is a beautiful place and one I look forward to living in for many years to come. Next, I would like to provide an account of my experience for all future customers so they will feel as much at ease as I did with Trigon during the whole process. I first started looking for a new home some 5 years ago after completing a 20-year career in the United States Navy. My dream was to find a meager parcel of land and a comfortable little place to call my own. My initial exposure to another local builder turned into a bit of a nightmare and left an extremely bad taste in my mouth. I was feeling skeptical and rather disheartened that I would be able to find a builder to trust. My first meeting with Walter and Nicole made me feel as though a solid working relationship was possible. They both listened very attentively, offered some insightful ideas and were ready to get to work constructing my new home. Walter took me to a piece of land that was being offered for sale and as we walked the woods, he pointed out potential home placement and drain field location. I felt that if the president of a company would take his time to walk the woods and help me envision my new home, then he and his Team would be a perfect match for me. We began the process of acquiring the land. With just a minor snag that was soon overcome, the lot had the heavy equipment in place and clearing soon began. Progress was fast and furious and within no time the foundation was laid. The framers wasted no time getting all the sticks in place and it soon began to take shape looking like a home. The weeks flew by and each time I visited the site, I was amazed at how much more had been done. Then came the hard part, making the selections for the home. I had the pleasure of working with Nicole in Trigons' design center making all of my selections. Each time I put some items side by side to ensure color compatibility; I would ask Nicole for her opinion. She would generally respond with, "your colors are not clashing, that's good" or "it looks like you are staying very neutral, that's fine." She did such a wonderful job having ideas for the home layout and the design began to fall into place. Nicole was quick to get me answers on the many millions of questions that I presented her. We met on three separate occasions to make all the selections but Nicole continued to stay in touch when I wanted to add one more thing or make just one more change. Each step she was very helpful and always eager to assist. Jim Snoderly, Trigons' foreman for this job, is extremely knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. On the various occasions that I ran into Jim at the site, he would take the time to walk around with me, answering the many questions I had and even answered the ones I didn't know I had. He helped me understand numerous things about my home that were unique to my location as well as explain every answer to ensure I understood fully. His drive to produce a beautiful home and quality product was very evident during my final walk-through when he declared, "if I had one more day, these items would not be on that list." The items I found were merely cosmetic in nature, so Jim, kudos to you! Walter, if you have customers that have any doubt about Trigons' ability to make a new home build go smoothly, do not hesitate to have them get in touch with me. I started out as a true doubting Thomas but I must say, I believe in you and your wonderful Team. Once again, thank you!”

“Our family truly thanks the Trigon Team. Without their help and support, we would have had no idea on where to start and how to begin. We are a military family, that moved to Virginia sight unseen from HAWAII! Thanks to Terry Cheatle helping us locate our perfect area, and sending us more information on this town than anyone thought possible. From school and bus transportations, to restaurants and shopping. Terry was a magnificent source to our family needs. In a time where my husband was deploying and our family was relocating, Terry really reached out and helped us find and design with Trigon our perfect home. Throughout the process, Terry and Nicole packed our temporary rental home full of goodies to help us survive while our furniture was being shipped from Hawaii, and our New Trigon home was being built. I appreciate the hospitality the Trigon and Team Cheatle family embraced us with. Throughout the experience, Tammy the design coordinator was amazing. She reached out and answered all of my concerns and questions, in making sure that our home was the way I had envisioned in my head. Tammy and Nicole were awesome and accommodating sitting through meetings of floor plans and options with our little princesses trying to draw on the lighting arrangements or climb on the cabinet samples. The patience and expertise of Trigon homes was a fantastic fit to our families concerns and wants throughout the process. Walter Cheatle went above and beyond his duties to welcome us into our new home. And the building crew worked immense hours to produce our amazing home by the deadline in which we needed to move. The craftsmanship, the attitude, and the sense of family made this experience amazing. I thank you all at Trigon homes for touching our hearts. THANK YOU.”

“When we decided to build our own home, the most worrisome part of the whole project was finding the right builder. The Internet is full of first-hand accounts of people's experiences with bad contractors, shotty work, incomplete projects and endless lawsuits. My wife and I spent more than a year interviewing potential builders. It was a very long and time-consuming search. Some of the larger contractors weren't interested in taking on any project unless it came with an astronomical budget. There were other contractors we talked to who built one or two homes a year, raising a lot of red flags as to whether they would have strong enough relationships with subcontractors to ensure the job would be done on time and on budget. We also talked to several builders who only offered a few set plans and had no interest in modifying their designs or taking on a custom project like ours. Fortunately (and maybe the more correct term is "Thank God"), we came across Trigon Homes. Looking back, I think the most important lesson we learned from the entire home building process is this: You have to work with a builder you have confidence in. Throughout the entire process, Trigon never let us down or cause us any concerns that would lead us to question our decision. In fact, quite the opposite. The longer we worked with Trigon the more assured we were that we'd made the right choice. Walter, Jim, Nicole, Greg, Michelle, and the whole Trigon team were terrific. They helped us turn our concept into reality. Our project came on time, even though the last part of our build happened during the early part of the Covid pandemic. I was particularly impressed by how well Trigon lined up the subcontractors. There was hardly a day that went by that there wasn't some group working on the house. The project also came on budget, with the only cost overruns being for additional features we selected (like hardwood flooring throughout) and a few unexpected requirements from the local governing authority. We love the new house. It's beautiful. It is exactly what we wanted. I would not hesitate to hire Trigon again.”

“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!”

“We just wanted to send a quick thank you. We are super happy with the outcome of the house. We have had multiple friends of ours have bad experiences with other builders, so we went into this with some apprehension. Just wanted to say that everything from start to finish with Trigon has been incredible. The final product has been worth the wait! Thank you, guys, for working with us and communicating with us every step of the way. Every time I drive up into our driveway, I have to pinch myself. There were a ton of small things that you guys did that added up. The professionalism and the patience you guys had with us was amazing. Thanks again we would definitely recommend you guys to anyone looking to build. We hope to be able to use you guys again in the near future!”

“I'd like to commend Trigon, especially [Jim Snoderly] and Walter [Cheatle, Jr.], for your efforts in getting the nail holes patched and painted. I realize the painting was above and beyond the contract and wanted to let you know you have mine, as well as Susan's, gratitude for such an extensive job. Your efforts to go the extra step and personally work with Sherwin-Williams in order to match the paint to the existing color is duly noted and greatly appreciated. Susan and I have had several homes but have never encountered any as well built as the one Trigon constructed for us. When we decide to build another home Trigon will be the first contractor/developer we will go to.”
