Because we are headquartered in York, Pennsylvania, the first capital of the United States, Lauer Construction has had ample experience restoring the many historic structures located throughout the history-rich south central Pennsylvania area.
Preserving these older buildings and bringing them up to modern standards presents a variety of challenges, and Lauer Construction has expertise in addressing these issues with creative but historically respectful construction solutions, attention to detail, and quality workmanship, including creating custom vintage-style millwork in our in-house workshop.
