Berks County · About 35 minutes from Ephrata
Contractor in Reading, PA
Window replacement, doors, cornice and trim repair, siding and porches for Reading rowhouses and the brick houses of West Reading, Wyomissing and Shillington.
Reading is about thirty-five minutes from our shop in Ephrata. The city and the boroughs around it are some of the best brick housing stock in the region: long blocks of rowhouses in the city, larger brick houses in West Reading and Wyomissing, and solid mid-century houses in Shillington and Cumru.
Brick lasts. What gives out on these houses is the wood: window sashes and sills, doors, cornices, porch roofs and the trim on rear additions. Our closest job to Reading is in the Douglassville area, where we replaced the windows on a brick house, set new stone sills and fitted a new exterior door into the masonry.
That is the kind of work we expect most in Reading: new windows and doors set properly into brick, and rotted wood trim rebuilt in PVC so it stops needing paint every few years.

Reading houses, and what they need
City rowhouses
Brick fronts with wood cornices and porch roofs, frame additions at the back. Cornice and window work is done from staging or a lift, safely and without damage to neighbours.
Brick houses in West Reading and Wyomissing
Larger houses with good bones and tired windows and doors. Window replacement here keeps the proportions of the original sashes.
Mid-century houses in Shillington and Cumru
Original windows, aluminum siding and soft fascia. Siding, trim and windows done together usually make the most sense.
