Trussell's Transformations, a family-owned remodeling company serving Albuquerque, Rio Rancho and surrounding communities, is celebrating 20 years in business this September. What began in 2006 as a two-person operation working out of a family garage has grown into a team of 17 employees and approximately 8,500 completed projects, according to the company.
"Trussell's has always been more than a business to us. It's been a huge part of our family's life for the past 20 years. Our kids basically grew up in this business," said founder Danny Trussell. "A lot of our employees have been with us so long they feel like family at this point, and honestly, plenty of our customers have turned into friends too. That's what makes reaching 20 years so special."
The milestone reflects two decades of steady expansion. The company opened its own granite fabrication shop in 2008, moved to its current Albuquerque location in 2015, and added cabinet lines in 2017. What started as kitchen and bathroom remodeling now includes cabinets, granite and quartz countertops, flooring, roofing and other residential upgrades, all delivered under one roof. Homeowners can explore these options at the company's Albuquerque showroom, where rows of cabinet styles, stone slabs and flooring samples are on display.
Trussell's Transformations differentiates itself by using its own employees for most in-home work rather than rotating subcontractors. On larger projects involving multiple stages and trades, homeowners see the same faces throughout, with one team responsible for the entire job. The company holds a New Mexico GB-98 general contractor's license and is a member of the Home Builders Association of Central New Mexico and the Natural Stone Institute.
The company also offers flexible financing options with quick approval and predictable monthly payments, aiming to help homeowners stop postponing projects. "Twenty years makes us incredibly proud of where we've been, but we're also excited about what comes next. We want to keep helping families create homes that aren't just beautiful, but truly work better for the way they live," said co-owner Christy Trussell.
For readers in the Albuquerque area considering a remodel, the company's 20-year track record and in-house capabilities may offer a sense of stability in a fragmented home improvement market. The company's longevity also signals a potential source of reliable local employment and a consistent customer base for suppliers. As Trussell's Transformations looks ahead, its focus remains on hands-on craftsmanship and family values, a formula that has sustained it through two decades of changing economic conditions.
