Shank Builders, LLC

Had the pleasure of meeting the working crew of Vernon Shank, the father Dale Shank, and Vernon's son Austin. A valuable addition to the Shank family is Myron. Myron Martin is a fine hardworking wood craftsman that brings his own independent thinking of carpentry skills and building experience to add to the Shank team of builders. Nice seeing Dale Shank continuing working along with the crew. For myself, I enjoyed talking with these guys. Everyone did a great job with my project, listening to my needs, and exceeded any expectations I had. The two porches that needed new framing were built very solid by the Shanks with a commercial like build quality of sistered joists every twelve inches on center, and later topped by myself with a full one inch, solid mahogany tongue and groove flooring hand screwed to their newly installed framing for my 1865 downton Chambersburg residence. Porch is like walking on concrete, being solidly built. I had a difficult time finding contractors capable and qualified I could trust handling the project until Vernon and Dale stopped by for an estimate. My issue was finding contractors that were qualified. I quickly realized Vernon understood the build issues with the long floor joist spans, and he took the time to research and worked out a solid build solution for my project. Vernon is a detail oriented person, very pleasureable to talk to, and will want things right. He listened to my concerns. Estimate was very detail oriented, and thoughtfully written, which, included a drawing. I had nine contractors look at the job, some not wanting to get their work inspected, some not qualified to do the work. Vernon was one of those guys that stood out and knew exactly what was needed, and put me mind at rest in knowing how I wanted the two porches built. They did a fine job that will last my lifetime. Nice to see a multi-generational family business. I highly recommend contacting Shank Builders for looking at your project. They were a great fit for my needs.

We highly recommend Vernon â Shank Buildersâ and his crew. They are friendly, family-oriented, professionals. From the moment we talked with him we knew he was the one for our job. Vernon listened to our ideas for our addition of a wraparound porch and laundry room bathroom. He then made some great design suggestions that improved the overall flow of the project. Vernon provided a picture and a floor plan of the design concept that allowed us to see what our house would look like when the addition was complete. Vernonâ s design suggestions were responsible for enhancing the interior and exterior of our home addition making it look and feel like it was part of our original house. The custom made shutters, cabinets, and wood counter top made by Myron turned out great. Vernon, his crew and all of the sub contractors that worked for Vernon were always aware of the need to protect and to keep our house as neat and clean as possible inside and outside throughout the duration of the project. Shank Builders completed our project sooner than projected in the contract. When we received the final invoice there were no surprises in fact the bottom line was a little less than we expected. If we decide to higher contractor in the future we will call on Vernon â Shank Buildersâ . We are very happy with their work.
