General contractors Lancaster PA

Hi everybody. I will be closing on a SFH in Lancaster PA. Initially I had considered using this property as a rental, which it is still viable for since I am getting a great deal, but after doing calculations and seeing that my monthly taxes were higher than my principal, interest, and insurance combined, I want to reconsider making it a flip.

I am originally from Lancaster, PA and have family and friends there, but I live in Erie PA and will have to manage the project from afar.


I am looking for strong recommendations for general contractors in Lancaster, someone who is accustomed to working with investors/flippers and can work with minimal supervision.

Project is a 3 story connected row home, brick, built ~1900

I want to:

Replace roof

Remodel kitchen

Increase size of 1st floor bathroom some (I can barely turn around inside)

Repair/replace interior doors which are damaged.

Refinish or possibly replace all exterior windows

LVP floors in home

Hang drywall/sheetrock over damaged plaster

Update electrical/wiring (potentially knob-and-tube)

Remodel 2nd floor bathroom.

Consult adding potentially master bathroom (adjacent to 2nd floor bath)

Paint interior/exterior (exterior has chipping paint, likely lead).

Any other maintenance or problem issues discovered along the way.

Please reply or message me with any information you have.

Thank you very much!!
