General Contractor in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania
Our Services
Design-build, renovations and commercial construction throughout Union County.
Goodridge Construction Group works throughout Union County, including Lewisburg, Mifflinburg, New Berlin, Vicksburg and the farm ground in between. We are based in Berwick, about forty-five minutes east, which keeps us close enough to run a real schedule here rather than treating Union County as a job we drive to once a week.
Lewisburg is not a typical market and it should not be priced like one. Between Bucknell and Evangelical Community Hospital, a lot of the work here is for owners who expect drawings that are actually coordinated and a contractor who can hold a finish date. The older homes around the borough carry Victorian and Federal detail that is worth preserving and expensive to get wrong, and much of the downtown falls under historic review, which adds steps to any exterior change. Outside the borough the picture flips to new construction on open ground and farm property. We do both.
Design-Build Construction
One contract covering design, permitting and construction, with the budget set at the start and held through the drawings. For owners who do not want to manage a separate architect and contractor, this is the shortest path to a finished building.
Our design-build services in Union County include:
- Concept through permit drawings, coordinated with your lender and your schedule
- Budget set early and designed to, instead of value engineered after the fact
- A single contract covering design, permitting and construction
- One superintendent on the job and one number to call
- Guaranteed maximum price where the owner needs cost certainty
New Home Construction with Ridgemark Homes
New homes are built under our homes brand, Ridgemark Homes, with the same crews, superintendents and suppliers behind every Goodridge project. Union County has some of the better residential ground in this part of the state and we build on it regularly.
What Ridgemark builds in Union County:
- Custom homes built to your drawings or selected from the Ridgemark plan library
- To-be-built packages on lots held by developers, land sellers and agents
- Builder partnerships where you bring the lot and we bring the crew and the schedule
- Site work, foundation, framing and finish carried under one contract
- Coordination with your lender through draw inspections and the certificate of occupancy
Commercial and Institutional Construction
Offices, medical and professional space, retail and light industrial, both ground-up and fit-out inside an existing shell. Much of the commercial work in Lewisburg happens in occupied buildings that cannot simply close for three months.
Our commercial services in the Lewisburg area include:
- Ground-up commercial construction
- Interior fit-out for new and relocating tenants
- Medical and professional office build-out
- Occupied renovations phased so the business keeps operating
- Exterior fit-out, facade work and building envelope repair
Historic and Period-Appropriate Renovation
Older homes and downtown buildings need work that matches what is already there. Replacing a period window with a stock unit is cheaper on the invoice and costs the building its character.
Our renovation services include:
- Period-appropriate exterior repair, trim, siding and window work
- Structural repair on original framing, sills and stone foundations
- Full interior renovation inside historic envelopes
- Electrical service upgrades, including panel replacement and 200 amp service
- Projects coordinated through historic and architectural review where it applies
Additions, Kitchens and Baths
Additions, second-floor build-outs, kitchens and baths for homeowners who intend to stay in the house.
Our addition and remodeling services include:
- Additions and second-story build-outs
- Kitchen renovations
- Bathroom renovations, including accessible and aging-in-place layouts
- Basement and attic conversions
- Garages, porches and outbuildings
Site Work, Excavation and Concrete
Our site and concrete services include:
- Excavation, grading and site preparation
- Foundations, footers, slabs and retaining walls
- Driveways, sidewalks and flatwork
- Stormwater management and drainage correction
- Demolition and site clearing
Why Owners in Union County Call Goodridge
Lewisburg has no shortage of small crews that do good work on a small scale, and no shortage of firms from Harrisburg or Williamsport that will bid a job here and then run it from two hours away. Goodridge sits between the two. We are close enough that our superintendent is on site, and we carry enough crew and schedule to finish a building rather than tying it up for a year. Pennsylvania enforces the Uniform Construction Code through the municipality or a third-party agency depending on where you are building, and Lewisburg Borough, Kelly Township and East Buffalo Township do not all handle it the same way. We deal with that, permits and inspections included.
