What the Design/Build program covers

For more than 30 years, TrendMark, Inc. has specialized in providing customers in the Cary/Raleigh, NC area with custom home building. From single room renovations to building the house of your dreams from the ground up, we are the award-winning contractors of choice for those who want the best, regardless of budget size.

Because design, permitting and construction all sit with one team, there is no gap between the drawing and the build. Wallace Baker personally oversees the planning, designing, estimating and implementing of your project, so the person answering your questions is the person accountable for the result.

TrendMark is a NC General Contractor, NC Electrical Contractor, NC Plumbing Contractor and a NC Licensed Home Inspector, so the job is done right and inspected to the standard we hold ourselves to.

One team, one timeline

Design, permitting and construction are combined in a single program, so the schedule is not handed between companies.

Complete licensed plans

You receive complete licensed plans and specifications before construction starts, not sketches to be resolved on site.

Question? Answered

Have questions about working with TrendMark? Browse our FAQ for answers.

What areas do you serve?

TrendMark works throughout the Triangle: Raleigh, Cary, Apex, Chapel Hill, the RTP area and Wake County generally. Our mailing address is P.O. Box 5712, Cary, NC 27518. If you are near the edge of that area, call and ask, as it usually comes down to the size of the project rather than the postcode.

What licences does TrendMark hold?

TrendMark is a NC General Contractor, a NC Electrical Contractor, a NC Plumbing Contractor and a NC Licensed Home Inspector. Wallace Baker also holds the state’s highest level of certification as an inspector in building, electrical, mechanical, plumbing and fire code. That combination is unusual, and it means the trades that normally cause delays are ours to schedule.

What does design-build actually mean for me?

It means one contract and one team for the design, the permits and the construction. You are not paying an architect to draw something, then hoping a builder can deliver it for the number you had in mind. We design to your goals and your budget together, produce complete licensed plans and specifications, and then build what those plans show.

Can I stay in the house while you work?

Most of our clients do. We plan the sequence, the site protection and the access around that from the start, so the work is contained to the areas being remodeled. Clients regularly comment on how neat and tidy the crews keep the house, and that is deliberate rather than luck.

How do I get started?

Call (919) 868-4545 or send us your project details through the contact form, and we will set up an appointment to discuss what you are trying to achieve. There is no charge for that first consultation, and no obligation at the end of it.
