Trumark Companies

Through the trials and tribulations that 2020 has brought upon society, homeowners and home buyers have learned how to be flexible and quickly adapt to the current environment. From at-home working and learning to virtual hangouts and fitness classes, people are realizing homes are a top priority and “flex spaces” within them are more important than ever.

In response to the growing trend, California-based builder Trumark Cos. developed TruFlex, an innovative design layout concept that allows home buyers to customize their homes by choosing from various preset designs specific to each level of the home.
