Residential and Commercial Construction since 1983

This project involved the renovation of the vestibule of the church.  The work included removing and repairing the steeple and then adding the steeple to the roof once again.  The goal of the project was, as always, to maintain the original integrity of the existing church.

This old one room schoolhouse from the early 1900s was purchased with the intent of converting it into a new dance studio.  The inside of the building was empty, but the goal for the new studio was to preserve the look of the schoolhouse while adding an addition. 

This brand new 2100 square foot split level house was built on a vacant lot in the borough of Bowmanstown in Carbon County.  The house sits on 1/3 of an acre and provides breathtaking views of the mountains that surround it. 

This old house dating back to the 18th century was a lookout for the powder mill during the revolutionary war.  Our work included the restoration of the original stone house and the large addition to make this a sizable home.  From the exposed ceilings and hardwood floors to the custom made moldings, we have met our ultimate goal of preserving the historical integrity of the home.

Charlestown Township has been working to restore this woolen mill back to working order.  One of the projects included was the construction of an observation walkway around the perimeter of the mill so that the public can walk around and see the mill in action.  The walkway involved the installation of many large wood joists between the main beams and a powder coated steel railing for safety.

This mid 19th century gristmill, located just outside of Emmaus, Pennsylvania, previously served as a flour mill that produced nearly a truckload of flour each day.  The goal of the restoration was to convert this once functioning gristmill into a residential dwelling while still preserving the historical integrity of the structure.

A great deal of work was done to restore this old local farmhouse.  Major parts of the restoration of the original house included new windows, a new porch, and the new stairs and entryway.  On the back of the house a large addition was added, which included a new kitchen, breakfast nook, master bedroom and bath, an additional bedroom, and a large wrap around porch.

The Spinnerstown War Memorial was constructed in Molasses Creek Park to honor the citizens of Milford Township that served the nation in times of war.  It was dedicated on Memorial Day weekend of 2007.  The memorial consists of a memorial with the names of soldiers, a flagpole in the center, decorative boulders, several benches, a flagstone patio, and a stone wall surrounding everything.  The memorial provides a great addition to the park as it remembers those who served the country.

The Taylor Frazer Ruins are on the National Register of Historic Places.  John Taylor built these walls as part of his home in 1739.  Upon his death in 1759, the property was left to his daughter Mary Taylor.  Her husband Colonel Persifor Frazer led troops in the Revolutionary War’s Battle of Brandywine only five miles from the Taylor Frazer home.  Meanwhile, Mary Taylor faced British troops as they invaded the farm.  Today some of the stone walls, chimney, and fireplaces still exist as the ruins.  The stabilization process that we undertook involved packing all of the joints with mortar, capping the walls with concrete, and pointing all of the stone.  Packing the joints and capping the walls assured that the wall was solid and stable.  The concrete capping climbed the walls at different angles to maintain the look of the ruins.  The mortar color and pointing style were carefully matched.
