Shed comparisons Ours and Theirs

Welcome!

Please pardon our dust while the website is under construction. However, despite the new site, we have a long history of serving Southwestern Pennsylvania. Quality work for a reasonable price since 1952.

Currently our area covers the area roughly defined by Route 60, Route 22/30 (to Monroeville), Route 28 and I-80. Included (although slightly outside of those "boundaries") is Kittanning, Ford City, New Kensington, Penn Hills, and Carnegie. Fuel surcharge and travel fees would be required to travel outside of that area by a substantial distance. This covers Northern Allegheny county, Butler county, part of Armstrong county and a large portion of Beaver County. Any snow removal services offered are naturally confined to a somewhat smaller area for the current time but may expand in the future.

Announcements! :

Holiday Sale! From now until the New Year we are offering discounts on our services! Sheds get $50 - 250 off (depending on size and style) and we are offering up to $400 in discounts on other services (depending on type and extent of service). Don't want the work done until after the New Year? No problem! All you need to do to take advantage of this offer is to contact us - we can help schedule a time to look at the job and build an estimate, discounts will be honored for work discussed before the end of 2011 provided the work is started no later than July 1st of 2012.

Our snow equipment is up and running! We are now taking new accounts for plowing services, please hurry though, we can only take a limited number of new accounts! Accounts must be residential or small commercial (we currently do not have the equipment to handle large commercial accounts to a satisfactory level of service by our standards).

No more exterior concrete work until spring, but we're still doing indoor work along with staining and sealing concrete (and we are willing to pencil in work exterior work for the spring - be the first in line!

Concrete staining is now available - we are offering a high-quality concrete stain that will work both indoors and outdoors - a perfect way to transform drab concrete into a masterpiece that will have your neighbors green with envy, all for an affordable price! Please visit our Concrete/Masonry pages via the link on the left under Services for more information. Concrete sealing is also available to help protect your investment from damage - we seal both decorative and regular concrete.

Site Construction: Notes to visitors

First, thank you for taking the time to visit our site. At present, construction of our site is a bit of a one-man-band operation that gets juggled with the work schedule and everything else. So please bear with me while I work on getting the site fully up and running. After all, work gets first priority and the site has to fall in behind maintaining equipment. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us. Search feature is not functional at this time. I think that with the exception of the site map link, I have got all of the links built on the index as well as pages and most should be working. The contact page has been updated, although the form is still not working. Some pages have been built but are still short on information, these will be updated as time permits.

Thank you for your patience.

We are now on Myspace and Facebook! Feel free to add us, content will be added to our page there as we can.

Our Mission:

Our mission has always been to provide high-quality work at a reasonable price. We believe that if you provide a customer a quality job at a fair price, they will not only be more apt to hire you again, but they will also tell everyone who will listen about how satisfied they were with the work. In an age were it seems more and more "contractors" are running around trying to outbid the next (and naturally the quality has to suffer), we stand apart from the crowd. Quality is our policy.
