History of Merlin Enterprises, LLC

Our business grew from a love for taking creative ideas and developing them into kitchens, full renovations, additions and new homes. With over 30 years of experience, Dale Raymond remodeled his first two-bedroom house at the age of 18. This provided a residence for his parents for many years until he designed them a retirement home in the 80's. With the addition of a family, the challenges for efficient use of space led to many opportunities to apply quality construction techniques. One project established a year round log home in the mountains of Maine that remains in the family to this day. Additional bedrooms were a must along with an architecturally pleasing family room for fun as well as piano and organ music.

With Donald Raymond's interest in architectural design and construction techniquies, we found ourselves visiting and playing in the beauitful Shenandoah Valley. With the purchase of a parcel of land in the valley, our design ideas flourished. Our first projcet started out as a workshop and ended up as a weekend retreat. Naturally, the magical transition led to the retreat gaining the name of "Merlin's Workshop." The more we enjoyed working together transforming ideas into rooms, cozy nooks and living space, the stronger the idea of establishing a business monopolizing on our interests, our quality focus and our desire to provide real products for real people to enjoy.

As we considered our resources of experience, interest and talents, we concluded that we wanted to offer our customers a quality and value option for their home development needs. To this end, we established Merlin Enterprises LLC, focused on quality and value ensuring that they rule our direction and our results.
