A lot of life happens in your home.
It is where you laugh the loudest and cry the hardest. It’s the place where you stay up all night preparing for that presentation, where you binge on too much ice cream and Netflix, and the only place you want to be when you are sick.
It is the place where you say your “I love you”s, watch your baby take their first step, and accumulate years of memories of family dinners.
Our desire for each of our clients is to go beyond a house project. We want to get to know you and your family so that, together, we can create a home that is unique to you, with your desires and dreams at the forefront of the entire experience.
Refuge Construction exists to bring quality work executed with integrity, creativity, and joy. We recognize that your home is your refuge, and any work done to it should be an experience that brings life— in every way— to your home.
Let us bring life to your refuge.
ABOUT refuge
Hey, how’s it going??
Since you are reading this, I’m assuming you want to hear more about me and my background, so as awkward as I feel to talk about myself….here it goes!
I was raised on a farm here in Lancaster County, PA. My family raised beef cattle and grew tobacco, so I’ve been working with my hands for as long as I can remember.
Shortly after graduating highschool, I married my wife, and spent 18 years in a family business building new homes. During that time, I became a father to 5 children, and I learned many of the trades of construction and carpentry. I truly enjoy the variety of tasks it takes to construct a home project, as well as meeting the homeowners and working alongside them to see their project to completion.
My years of experience allow me the knowledge to complete projects efficiently, and the skill to produce a result that will last.
My wife and I enjoy brainstorming creative ideas for design and construction projects, and would love to help you with yours!
