Why Ligonier Homeowners Hire Us
We've been the go-to general contractor for Ligonier and the rest of Westmoreland County since 2014. Ligonier has some of the most beautiful historic homes in Westmoreland County — the Diamond, the side streets off Main, and the surrounding country estates around Rolling Rock and Laughlintown. There's also a healthy share of second homes, weekend retreats, and farmhouses where the owners aren't living full-time. We do a lot of restoration work, full-wrap porches, slate and standing-seam roof repairs, and outdoor-living projects out here.
- Historic homes need a careful eye. Plaster walls, original windows, wide-plank floors, and hand-cut trim profiles all reward a craftsman approach over a tear-it-out approach. We can match historic moldings and casings when replacement is the only option.
- Ligonier Borough has design review considerations in and around the Diamond — exterior changes can require extra documentation. We handle that paperwork and the conversations that come with it.
- Heavy snow loads and wind exposure on properties up toward the ridge mean porches, roofs, and decks need to be engineered for real weather, not catalog conditions. We spec accordingly.
