My experience with The Office of Horace Trumbauer has been nothing short of flawless. Chris was in constant communication with photos during our renovation while on vacation. He worked around the clock to accommodate our time constraints and was upfront and honest through the entire process. He was transparent about his cost+ system and showed us every single quote/receipt. The whole process was extremely painless and we felt we were in great hands the entire time. Thank you very much!!

By AnonymousSeptember 5, 2017Living & Dining Room and Entryway renovations
We found Chris Frank and The Office of Horace Trumbauer’s website while searching for an experienced and reputable contractor for a unique renovation project we had in mind for our 80’s home.
Chris came to the house and listened to our ideas, attempting to assist us in finding the materials we thought we wanted to use. Chris provided us with a much needed hands-on approach and in the end, what Chris found and suggested for our project proved to be the right decision.
His team did an outstanding job of converting our outdated, texture painted cathedral ceiling to the new and fresh tongue-in-grove beamed ceiling. His suggestions were definitely the right course of action. In addition to installing and painting the new ceiling, the project included building out a half wall to a ¾ wall in the home’s entry, painting the ceiling and walls in the open floor plan of the living room and dining room, the entry and the loft and hanging new lighting fixtures and ceiling fans.
It was a pleasure working with him and his team of skilled craftsmen from start to finish on our project. They were personable, professional and on time. They were dedicated to our job from start to finish with no interruptions from other projects.
We could not be happier with the final results of the renovation and we constantly hear compliments from visitors. It is really a “wow” reaction to the overall change in the interior of our home. It’s magazine worthy.

It’s always difficult to finally choose a company to work on your own home.. We are so very pleased with the renovations Horace Trumbauer / Chris Frank and his team preformed for us. Always informative of the processes happening, It was completed a full week early, probably because of such good organization and daily effort. Also it was on budget !!
