The people behind the trim

Trimhouse is a small crew on purpose. The folks who meet you, measure your walls, and cut every miter are the same ones who sweep up at the end. No hand-offs, no strangers, just two guys who really care how your corners line up.

Howard Thruston II — Owner & Lead Tech

Howard is the name on the license and the guy on the scaffolding. He earned a business management degree from BYU, got his Utah contractor license in 2022, and quickly figured out that his favorite part of the business was the work itself, especially detailed trim and big, bold feature walls (the two-story ones are his favorite). He grew up around his dad's custom home builds in Arizona, so the job site has always felt like home. These days he runs every project from the first photo you send to the final walkthrough.

Dylan — Apprentice Carpenter

Dylan is a Utah native with an architecture degree from the University of Utah, which means he doesn't just cut the boards, he gets why a design works. He's learning the craft hands-on and brings a sharp eye for proportion to every wall we build. Off the clock, you'll find him hunting, trapping, or hanging out with his 6-month-old, who is officially the newest (and smallest) member of the Trimhouse family.
