Where 1990s builder finishes meet a community that is ready to update them

Trinity sits at the junction where Pasco, Hillsborough and Pinellas counties meet, in ZIP 34655. It went from 4,279 people in 2000 to nearly 12,000 in 2020, developed starting in the late 1980s by James Gills and named for Trinity College of Florida.

Two numbers explain most of the work here. The median age is 47, second oldest of the communities Noah serves. And 82.6 percent of households are married couples. This is a settled, comfortable, largely empty-nest and retiree community that has been in the same houses for twenty years.

The housing built out through the 1990s and 2000s: single-family homes, villas and golf-course properties along Fox Hollow and Heritage Springs. Heritage Springs alone is 1,337 homes built between 1999 and 2006, a 55-plus community with a Ron Garl championship golf course, an 18,500 square foot clubhouse, five single-family subdivisions and nineteen villa subdivisions. All resale. All now nineteen to twenty-six years old.

Also here: Champions Club, Trinity Oaks, Thousand Oaks, Wyndtree, Chelsea Place, Natures Hideaway, Foxwood, Trinity West, Trinity East and The Villages of Trinity Lakes.

What comes up most in Trinity

  • Original builder kitchens and baths in closed-off 1990s and 2000s layouts, updated cosmetically
  • Cabinet painting and refacing, which is transformative in a villa with a small kitchen
  • Popcorn and heavy-texture ceilings from the original build
  • Tile and LVP replacing twenty-year-old carpet
  • Trim and crown, which suits the golf-course homes
  • Interior repaints throughout
  • Aging-in-place work: grab bars anchored properly, lever handles, better hallway lighting, thresholds that stop catching, shelving lowered to a reachable height
  • Pressure washing lanais, walks and pool decks

Villas are a good fit for a one-man operation

Heritage Springs has nineteen villa subdivisions, which means a lot of smaller footprints with repeatable scopes. That is exactly the kind of work a solo handyman does efficiently and a big company quotes badly because it does not fit their overhead.

Questions from Trinity homeowners

Do you work in Heritage Springs?

Yes, and it is one of the better fits in the whole service area. 1,337 homes, all resale, all between nineteen and twenty-six years old, most with original kitchens and baths. Noah will need to be cleared through the gate.

Can you install grab bars in my bathroom?

Yes. They go into framing or into proper heavy-duty anchors, not into bare drywall, which is how most of the failures happen. What he cannot do is convert your tub to a walk-in shower, because that is plumbing and needs a licensed plumber.

How long is the drive from Land O’ Lakes?

About sixteen miles, roughly half an hour west on SR 54. Odessa is the halfway point.

My villa kitchen is tiny and dated. What actually helps?

Painted cabinets, new hardware, a backsplash, and getting rid of the dark countertop. In a small kitchen those four things change the entire room, and together they cost a fraction of a replacement. Noah handles all four except the sink hookup.

What Noah does here

Scope note. McCart is a handyman and home repair service. Noah is not a licensed contractor and does not take on work requiring a Florida contractor’s license or a building permit, including electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roofing, structural work, screen enclosures, gutters, soffit and fascia, or additions. If that is what you need, ask anyway and he will point you to someone licensed who does it right.
