Lancaster Contracting

I didn't dislike Lancaster Contracting. The guy was very good. I just felt more comfortable with the other company that I chose. He didn't give me a price on changing the sky lights because we were talking about the roof. We didn't get to that point.

The whole project went well and as expected; any questions were answered and addressed; very professional Very satisfied

They were excellent, on time, got the job done and had an excellent cost. I have no complaints and he is coming out to do more work for me.

We purchased an 1880's era row home in downtown Lancaster. It had been rental property for many years and needed a lot of restoration. We'd had Lancaster Contracting do the roof last year, and asked for a quote on restoring the second floor porch this year. The porch itself had seen years and years of neglect. It was literally rotting off the side of the building! They came and gave us a very reasonable quote (we'd had 2 other competing quotes done that just seemed like triage, instead of restoration). We accepted their quote and they went to work. They literally stripped the entire structure down to the original hand-hewed oak timbers -- the skeleton of the structure, which was still in good shape -- and rebuilt the porch from the beams up. The project was a complete success, and we're thrilled with our porch! The team from Lancaster Contracting was great - professional, friendly, responsive, considerate, and their work was wonderful. They had to remove the entire original porch - which runs across the back and down the side of our house - and replace the floor and underside of the porch, the porch ceiling, the supports, the railings, the screens, the door, the ceiling fixtures, ornamentation, everything - and we couldn't be happier with the results. Their attention to detail was amazing, and their prices are fair. They were flexible with changes that came up during the project, and were very responsive to questions throughout the process. We felt sad when the project was completed, because they felt like family! Of course, with this being a 130+ year old home, we'll be having them back for more projects. We would recommend Lancaster Contracting wholeheartedly, for any roofing, construction, or restoration project - interior, exterior, residential, or commercial.

They gave us a quote that was a bit lower than another contractor, and the lower quote included new gutters, while the other intended to re-use the gutters we had. They showed up on time, had the job done in one day, and were courteous, professional, and did a great job. The real test will be when it rains for a whole day, to see if we get any leaks, but I'm confident we won't - and if there is a problem, I know he'll be back out to fix it, quickly. Very friendly and nice, I would recommend this company without any hesitation.
