General Contractor in Sunbury, Pennsylvania
Our Services
Design-build, commercial construction and home building across Northumberland County.
Goodridge Construction Group works throughout Northumberland County, including Sunbury, Northumberland, Shamokin, Mount Carmel, Milton and Shamokin Dam. Berwick is about forty minutes upriver, close enough that our own superintendent runs the job and close enough to get a crew back out the same day when something needs attention.
Sunbury is the county seat and sits where the two branches of the Susquehanna come together, which shapes almost everything about building here. Flood plain and flood plain adjacency matter on a lot of parcels, elevation requirements are real, and a contractor who has not dealt with them will find out the expensive way. The housing and commercial stock downtown is largely late nineteenth and early twentieth century, built well but a century into its service life. Out toward Shamokin Dam and the Route 11 and 15 corridor the work is newer and more commercial. We handle both.
Design-Build Construction
One contract covering design, permitting and construction, with the budget set before the drawings get far enough along to be expensive to change. For owners who do not want to manage an architect and a contractor separately, this is the fastest route to a finished building.
Our design-build services in Northumberland County include:
- Concept through permit drawings, coordinated with your lender and your timeline
- Budget set early and designed to, rather than cut back later
- 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
Commercial Construction and Fit-Out
Offices, retail, professional and medical space, warehouse and light industrial. Ground-up buildings on the commercial corridors and fit-out inside existing downtown shells.
Our commercial services in the Sunbury area include:
- Ground-up commercial construction
- Interior fit-out for new and relocating tenants
- Downtown storefront and upper-floor rehabilitation
- Occupied renovations phased so the business keeps operating
- Warehouse, shop and light industrial buildings
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. That includes builder partnerships for developers and land sellers who have ground in Northumberland County but no construction arm.
What Ridgemark builds in Northumberland County:
- Custom homes built to your plan or to one 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
Renovation and Structural Repair

- Flood damage repair and elevation work on river-adjacent property
- Full interior renovation of older homes and commercial buildings
- Roof, siding and building envelope replacement

Why Owners in Northumberland County Call Goodridge
Plenty of contractors will quote a job in Sunbury. Fewer will tell you honestly whether the building is worth the money before you spend it, and fewer still will hold a schedule once the work starts. Goodridge is large enough to carry a full crew and a real schedule and close enough that the people responsible for your job are actually on it. Pennsylvania enforces the Uniform Construction Code through the municipality or a third-party agency depending on where you are building, and Sunbury, Shamokin and the surrounding townships do not all handle it the same way. We deal with that, permits and inspections included, instead of handing you a packet.
