Lancaster County · About 25 minutes from Ephrata
Contractor in Lancaster, PA
Windows, siding, decks, porches and trim for houses in the city of Lancaster and the townships around it, from a carpentry crew based twenty minutes away in Ephrata.
The city of Lancaster and the townships that ring it are the busiest part of our home county. From our shop in Ephrata it is about twenty-five minutes down Route 222, close enough that a site visit, a second look or a small repair later on is never a problem.
Lancaster has every kind of house we work on in one place: brick rowhouses with wood cornices downtown, big brick and frame houses along the older streets, 1950s and 1960s neighborhoods in Manheim and Lancaster Townships, and newer houses in developments around Landisville, Neffsville and East Lampeter.
Most calls from Lancaster are about windows and doors that no longer seal, siding and trim that have let water into the wall, and decks and porches that are going soft. We do that work ourselves, and we check the wall behind it before we cover anything up.

Lancaster houses, and what they need
Brick rowhouses in the city
Wood cornices, window sills, porch roofs and rear additions take the weather. If the house is in a historic district, exterior work may need review first, and we check before ordering materials.
Older brick and frame houses
Big windows, deep trim and porches. Window replacement here is about fitting new units to old openings without losing the look of the house.
Post-war township houses
Ranches, split-levels and colonials in Manheim and Lancaster Townships with original windows, aluminum siding and soft fascia. Often the best job does siding, trim and windows together.

Working in Lancaster
Do you work in the city of Lancaster itself?
Yes, in the city and in the townships around it. Our shop in Ephrata is about twenty-five minutes away.
Can you replace windows in a Lancaster rowhouse?
Yes. Rowhouse openings vary from window to window, so each one is measured on its own. We flash the opening and seal the new window to the brick.
Do you need a permit for windows or a deck in Lancaster?
Decks almost always need one, and some window and exterior work does too, especially in historic districts. We tell you at the estimate and handle the paperwork.
Is the estimate free?
Yes. We come out, look at the job with you and send a written estimate at no cost.
