The Berks County line is a short drive from our shop in Ephrata, so the southern and western parts of the county, from Morgantown and Wernersville to Sinking Spring and Wyomissing, are as close to us as much of Lancaster County. We also go further east to Reading, Birdsboro and Douglassville.

In the Douglassville area we replaced the windows on a brick house, set new stone sills and fitted a new exterior door into the masonry, and framed a small cricket on the roof behind it. It is a good example of the most common Berks County job we see: a solid brick or stone house whose wood windows, doors and trim have given out while the walls are still fine.

Berks has a lot of that kind of house: brick rowhouses and twins in Reading and West Reading, stone farmhouses in the townships and well-built mid-century houses in Wyomissing and Shillington. They reward careful carpentry, because the masonry will outlast anything we install, as long as the joints between old and new are flashed right.

What we do here

Our services in Berks County

The same crew does every part of the job, so the siding, the window and the trim around it meet the way they should.

Houses in Berks County, and what they need

  • Brick and stone houses

    Windows and doors set into masonry need the opening cleaned up, flashed and sealed to the brick or stone with a joint that can move. We set new sills where the old ones have cracked or rotted.

  • Rowhouses and twins in Reading

    Wood cornices, porch roofs and back additions take the weather. Trim is rebuilt in PVC, and frame additions often need new siding to match.

  • Mid-century houses in Wyomissing and Shillington

    Original windows, tired siding and interiors that want better trim. Good candidates for replacement windows and new casing inside and out.

Working in Berks County

How far into Berks County do you go?

Most of the county. The southern and western townships are closest to Ephrata. Reading, Birdsboro and Douglassville are also regular for us, and we will tell you honestly if a small job is too far to be worth your money.

Can you replace windows in a brick or stone house?

Yes, it is one of the most common Berks County jobs. We remove the old unit without damaging the masonry, flash the opening, set the new window and seal it to the brick or stone.

Do you do rowhouse work in Reading?

Yes. Cornices, porch roofs, rear additions, windows and doors on rowhouses and twins are all work we do.

Is the estimate free in Berks County?

Yes. We come out, look at the job with you and send a written estimate at no cost.

Who pulls the permit?

When a job needs one, we do. Permits go through your township or borough under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code, and we tell you at the estimate whether one is needed.
