Ready for a tour? For the first time ever, we’re bringing a sneak peek into one of our semi-custom homes directly to you. While all our floorplans are equally fabulous and have the same level of detail, today we’re taking you through the Ponderosa floor plan. Let’s go!
C’mon in! Step into the entry hallway greeting you with a stunning open-concept living/dining/kitchen area. This type of floor plan concept gives a communal feel to the space, making it easy for household members to interact with one another.
Let’s meander to this corner of the house and pause. Is there anything better than a dining room with a view? This Palisades Home floor plan offers a prime viewing spot for your dining room table between two large sets of windows.
Before you move on from the living room, look up! Did you peep those trendy vaulted ceilings? With ample windows and sliding doors, this design gives the living room a sun-drenched vibe.
Now loop around to the place where culinary magic happens. Can a kitchen be fun and functional? This one is! With a practical U-shaped countertop, this kitchen design offers ample workspace and wraparound bar seating—so you can whip up masterpieces in front of an audience like the star of your very own cooking show.
Take a closer look at the finishes. Black hardware is trendy and timeless—especially when paired with a generous kitchen sink. Palisades Homes kitchens include the option for top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances or any other type you prefer.
Come get groovy for a modern take on a retro staple. “Conversation pits” are all the rage in home design now, and we’re eager to jump on this retro return with our own version: a conversation corner. Here’s our spin on a dedicated nook for easy chats and catching up.
Follow us down the hall to see what visitors will enjoy. Not only will your guests get a bathroom outfitted with modern black hardware—the removable shower head in the tub is also perfect for hosing down muddy canine companions.
Now for the fun part of the tour: the Primary Bedroom. Let there be light! Sliding glass doors mean you’ll get a good morning kiss from the California sun daily in your deluxe primary bedroom suite.
Stick your head in (virtually) to our lovely washroom. Get all the space you need for your grooming routine with a large walk-in shower and ample countertop in this primary bath.
Now hop in the shower. A walk-in one is perfect for those who prefer a little extra space! It’s easy to get in and out of, especially for those with mobility challenges.
Let’s do one more take of the bedroom. Sweet dreams are made of these! Plus, cool down each night with a ceiling fan overhead.
Quick, jog down to the next bedroom! This airy second bedroom is swimming with natural light and can fit a single or double bed.
Now for the business end of the tour. Make light work of work in this sunny, spacious office with two large windows, perfect for those of you who work from home! #dreamoffice
Head back to the living room again for one more glance. This Palisades Home has a living room you’ll really want to live in, complete with a breezy fan nestled in a soaring ceiling.
Before you go, let’s check out one more important feature: sliding doors. They let you bring the outside in! Sliding doors off the living room allow easy access for family and furry friends to get outdoors in a flash.

For Trilogy, Paradise isn’t just a place where we do business. It’s the town where we’ve raised our families and made true, lasting friendships. And as professional builders, each new residence we build feels like more than just a job. Our houses become homes and a part of our community.
“Trilogy is an opportunity to give back to the town I grew up and raised my family in,” says owner Greg Bolin. “Paradise has been our home since 1967.”
“I raised my family in this town,” adds Shawn Shingler, also a Trilogy owner. “I’m grateful to be a part of rebuilding the community for future families as well.”
Our roots on the Ridge run deep. The business got its start in Paradise back in 1967 by Mel Bolin, who brought on his sons and nephew in the 70s and 80s. After a series of construction and framing business ventures, Mel formed Trilogy Construction for custom homes. He eventually sold the business to son Greg, nephew Shawn, and Trilogy controller Beth Dunn, and today, the three of them are proud to continue the legacy of faith and service to the community.
With such a strong family connection to Paradise, it seems only natural for us to be invested in the place we live. Just like members of the community have supported our business, we’re here to support them. ”Paradise is a community that values and supports families,” says Beth. “It just makes sense to support each other.“
Whether it’s showing up for the swim team, the football team, or local events like Johnny Appleseed Days, it’s what we do for each other here as neighbors. Paradise is known as a community supporting and valuing each other, and we love being a part of it.
At Trilogy, the principles of quality and trust stem from our business’s core values. We believe in treating everyone with the same respect we would our family, from the subcontractors we work with to our clients. Having 50-plus years of experience in the business means we’ve learned a thing or two about construction and how to be a good neighbor—sometimes both at the same time. And we feel it’s equally important to inspire trust and confidence in the quality of our work and our participation in the community.
“What leads to expertise?” muses Greg. “Being part of a community, you learn different things that all combine to help us become good neighbors and great contractors. As members of the church, Town Council, and other community events, we understand what our community needs as neighbors and have learned what a town needs to rebuild. And in the field, you’ll find us onsite every day. Our decades of hands-on experience allows us to do work we’re proud of.”
It’s also the incredible people we get to build for who have helped build our experience over time. “We’ve been lucky to work with folks who have lots of different things they like,” said Beth. This gives us lots of opportunities to see all kinds of different things. For instance, we’ve done water walls, indoor slides, spiral stairs, off-grid homes, kosher kitchens, etc. The list is endless— and just plain cool. This gives us excitement and confidence to do the extraordinary!”
When you build a custom or semi-custom Palisades home, you can feel confident you’re getting generations of experience from a team that knows the business inside and out.
“Greg and I started out in the field with hammers and nails, getting paid by how many pieces we produced. Our past experience helps us manage projects, keep on schedule, and stay within budget today, ” said Shawn. “It’s not just your job that leads to expertise; it’s all these things you experience and learn along the way.”
Whether you’re interested in building a new home or just meeting a friendly face in the community, we hope you’ll reach out to say hello this year. Send us a message to find out how Trilogy Construction’s “Builders by Trade. Neighbors for Life.” motto comes to life!
Oh, there's no place like home for the holidays
'Cause no matter how far away you roam
When you pine for the sunshine of a friendly gaze
For the holidays, you can't beat home sweet home
Whether or not you’re familiar with the lyrics of the classic Perry Como song “Home for the Holidays,” the message of coming home is a powerful one, especially this time of year. Decorating and preparing a feast there, gathered together with those nearest and dearest to you, is a priceless yet simple joy.
And in the spirit of the season, we here at Trilogy wanted to spread some more of it by sharing one of our new Palisades Homes. See how you could turn a semi-custom house built by us into a home that makes every gathering feel sweet.
When you pick a semi-custom Palisades Home, you’ll be gifted with many choices to create the perfect space. You can bring your own plot of land to build on, then the fun really begins as you start making selections.
Start by selecting one of our three floorplans to best fit your needs. Then, we have four different home styles to choose from: Farmhouse, Modern, Coastal, or Tuscan. But one of the best parts about our Palisades Homes is you don’t have to stick to those options if you’re starting at the beginning of the building process. Think of them as just a jumping-off point—our process allows you to customize the selections to ensure your home feels like you.
Check out how Trilogy blended elements from these four different styles to create this beautiful, unique home:
If you would rather have a brand new home without going through the designing or building process, you also have the option to purchase a home where Trilogy has already bought the land, done all the building, and made the selections, like the one in the photos below.
This is a great example of stepping outside the box of our usual home styles. We’ve blended a few features in this kitchen to create a special look, pairing black fixtures with warm, weathered woods and a backdrop of calming neutral tones. It’s one of the many ways we can make your house feel like home, whether you choose your own selections, or enlist Trilogy to pick out a beautiful design for you.
What style would you call this home? We’d love to hear your thoughts! And if you’re ready for a new house to come home to, reach out to Trilogy and find out about our Palisades Homes and easy True Quote process. It’s just one of the many ways we can help you get the house you want at a price you can afford. Contact us to learn more!
Someone once said, “The best journey takes you home.” And deciding what your home looks like can be one of the most important decisions you make. But with so many options out there, how do you know what is right for you?
While some folks are more comfortable buying a move-in-ready home, others find themselves debating custom vs. semi-custom homes. So before you make a decision, let’s start with the basics.
A semi-custom home allows the homeowner to make a few decisions, like choosing between different floor plans, finishes, and color schemes for the exterior. There’s often some wiggle-room in the design for you to choose upgrades and add-ons, too. Trilogy offers semi-custom home floor plans for four different styles of homes so that you can pick the right combination for you.
Building a custom home means you’re involved in the process from start to finish. From architects to the homebuilder, you’ll work with a variety of professionals to make your vision a reality. A custom home from Trilogy has the benefit of giving you total freedom to decide the floorplan, materials, and finishes, right down to the doorknobs.
You want some control over the look of your future home but don’t want to spend a lot of time picking out every single detail, a semi-custom home might be a good match. They can be built on a faster timeline than custom homes. But unlike a ready-made house, you’ll have some input about how it looks, making it a happy medium between the two.
You enjoy being a part of the building process, want total design control, and have the time and patience to weather the home building journey.
If you’re ready to begin, call Trilogy today. We’ll help you figure out the best option that feels tailor-made for you, no matter what style you choose.
