Wunder Family Barn Project

“We were first introduced to Trap Merrill through a recommendation from the code enforcement officer at Durham Town Hall when we began planning a new septic system. That initial project marked the beginning of a long and meaningful working relationship.

Trap went on to complete the foundation work for our farmhouse remodel, demonstrating not only technical expertise but also reliability and clear communication throughout the process. A few years later, when we experienced the devastating loss of our barns in a fire, Trap was the very first person to show up the next day. He immediately got to work clearing debris and helping us begin the difficult process of rebuilding. In addition, he brought us his generator, which was critical in allowing us to continue living in our home during that time.

Since then, he has completed the foundations for our new three-car garage, our new barn, and our equipment barn. Each project was handled with professionalism, efficiency, and attention to detail.

Over the years, Trap is dependable, responsive, and, as the code enforcement officer noted from the start, extremely knowledgeable and smart in his field.

I would not hesitate to recommend Merrill Excavation to anyone seeking high-quality work and a contractor they can truly rely on.”
