Meet the team

Our mission

Deliver dependable renovations and buildouts through transparent pricing, disciplined scheduling, and craft‑level execution—so clients feel confident at every step.

Our story

TRC began with a simple idea: homeowners and businesses deserve a contractor who is as organized as they are skilled. While our public portfolio is growing, our team has decades of field, estimating, and project‑lead experience across kitchens and baths, whole‑home renovations, commercial buildouts, and exterior work. We’re proud to build long‑term relationships in the Rochester community.

Our values

  • Integrity & transparency — Line‑item estimates, documented changes, and honest timelines.
  • Safety & respect — Site protection, tidy jobsites, and mindful work around families and neighbors.
  • Craftsmanship & durability — Details that endure: structure, waterproofing, and finishes done right.
  • Communication — One project lead; proactive updates and milestone check‑ins.
  • Accountability — Licensed (where required) and fully insured; written workmanship guarantee.
