Trumbull-Nelson is widely recognized for its participation in many outstanding commercial and industrial building projects throughout northern New England. Less familiar to many is Company work within the residential construction realm—involving a single or multi-family dwelling; assisted-living communities; additions and renovations. In fact, Trumbull-Nelson business “roots” are in residential building. And for current employees who find themselves involved in the process of renovating a local home, it is particularly rewarding to discover the tell-tale signs of a Company home: a signed truss member or carrying beam, select millwork patterns, and a home that is genuinely ‘built to last’. It is a true observation that the typical new home is not built in this same fashion. But I’d like to believe that each Trumbull-Nelson building project strives to honor a Company tradition of delivering the best possible results in terms of performance and finished product, within every budget requirement. In residential building, as in all construction, we remain steadfast in our commitment to quality, integrity and responsibility. In doing so, we honor the craft, and adhere to our own traditions and guiding principles.

Our summer issue highlights residential construction. The magazine’s cover photo features a Dartmouth College residence that was recently moved to Lyme Road in Hanover; the third such move since its original construction in 1810. This home, and a similar dwelling also transported to an alternate Lyme Road location, underwent extensive interior renovation by Trumbull-Nelson.

Elsewhere in the Issue, we provide a photo gallery of Company residential building and renovation projects.

Trumbull-Nelson Construction Company is working on a number of projects this summer. Groundbreaking ceremonies have recently occurred at the Howe Library, in Hanover, NH; the Robert A. Mesropian Center for Community Care at Alice Peck Day Memorial Hospital, in Lebanon, NH; and at the Stratton Mountain School (Field house and Dormitory expansion), in Stratton Mountain, VT. The Company will soon begin a substantial renovation project in Jaffrey, New Hampshire, and will commence work on a residential building development project in Plymouth, VT. Other summer work includes a facility expansion for Creonics/Spectra and renovation to the Dartmouth College Congregational Church, both in Hanover; a renovation project at Thetford Academy, in Thetford, VT; and construction of a new highway garage in New London, NH.

We hope that you enjoy our Summer 2004 Issue of Constructive Images magazine. Please let us know if we can help with any pre-construction planning or building assistance on your commercial, industrial, institutional, or residential project.
