Harcon Services is a family general contractor in Etters. We pour the footers, stand the posts, hang the steel, set the trusses, and hand you the keys. The crew that prices your job is the crew that shows up to build it.
Post-frame shop with the trusses set and purlins going on. Our crew, our machines, York County.
Harcon started in 2009 out of Etters with one truck and one rule that stuck. Seventeen years on it is still a family operation working out of York County, still small enough that the man who walks your property is the one swinging a hammer on it three weeks later.
Most outfits our size farm out the parts they would rather not do. We kept them. Excavation, footers, post-frame, structural steel, roofing, concrete, pools, trim, floors. We own all of it, so nobody outside this company sets your schedule. When something needs deciding at 6:40 in the morning, the foreman decides it on site instead of routing it through three companies.
That is also how the dates hold. One crew stays on one job until it is finished, then moves to the next one.
“Any job worth doing is a job worth doing right.”

Open any line for the spec: what is included and what we need from you before we start.
We build houses the same way we build barns: from the dirt up, with our own crew. Excavation, footers, foundation, framing, roof, exterior, and interior finish all run on one schedule under one company, so your house never stands open to the weather for a month while we wait on the next trade.
Open a wall in an older York County house and you find what the last guy covered up. Because we frame, pour, and finish in house, we fix a rotted sill or an undersized header the same afternoon we find it instead of stalling the job while three trades argue about whose problem it is.
This is the bulk of what we do. Posts set below frost, trusses on top, ribbed steel over the whole thing, and a slab poured by the same crew that stood the frame. We size it for what is going inside: a tractor, a dump trailer, or a business.
When the span is wide or the use is commercial, steel makes more sense than wood. We handle the pad, the anchor bolts, the erection, and the trim, and we finish the inside if you want it heated and lined rather than left as a shell.
Metal roofs are most of our roof work. The difference between a roof that lasts forty years and one that leaks in five comes down to closures at the ridge, proper laps, screws driven straight and to depth, and flashing we tuck instead of caulk.
Flat, pitched where it needs to be, and jointed so it cracks where we put the line instead of across the middle of your garage floor. We grade the base, set the forms, pour, and finish. The slab and the building sitting on it come from the same crew.
A pool is an excavation job and a concrete job stacked on top of each other. We already do both, so we take one on end to end: dig it, set the walls, plumb it, pour the deck, fence it, and build the pavilion you are going to sit under while the kids use it.
We own our machines. That is why nothing on this list waits on a rental yard or a subcontractor's calendar. Site work also keeps the crew busy through winter, so the people you hired in July are the same ones plowing your lot in January.
The same crew handles footers, post-frame, steel, roofing, concrete, and interior finish. We hand nothing to a subcontractor whose schedule we cannot control, so your build never sits half framed waiting on someone else's truck.
One company, one invoice, one person to call when you have a question.
The men swinging the hammers write the estimate. They walk your property with a tape and catch the grade problem, the access problem, and the extra footer while you are standing there. The number at the beginning usually holds to the end.
Free on site estimate. Written scope before a shovel moves.
Your build keeps the crew until it is closed in and finished. That is how a barn goes up in a few weeks instead of dragging into next season while one crew rotates between four open sites.
Ask where the build calendar stands when you call and we will give you the real date.
Snow removal, seasonal grading, and firewood keep our people working through winter. The crew you hired in July has not scattered by January, and a leaking roof or a drifted lane reaches a person on the phone instead of a voicemail box.
Snow and emergency calls taken after hours.
Seventeen years of barns, houses, slabs, roofs and pools across York County, held to one standard. If we would not accept the work on our own property, you do not get handed it either.

Five steps, and you deal with the same two or three people at every one of them. No portal login, no project manager between you and the crew.
We meet you on the property, pull a tape, check access and drainage, and talk through what the building has to do for you.
You get an itemized scope and a number, in writing, from the same people who will build it. The estimate costs you nothing.
We pull the permits and meet the inspector, so you keep your lunch break instead of spending it at a township office.
Site work, footers, structure, steel, then finish. Same faces on site every day until it is closed in and done.
We walk it together at the end. You make the list, we fix every line on it before the trailer leaves your property.
If yours is not here, call and ask. One of us answers the phone.
717-599-8341We are based in Etters and work across York County and Central Pennsylvania, up into the Harrisburg area. If you are just outside that, call anyway. For a larger build we will usually travel.
Rarely. Our own people handle excavation, concrete, post-frame, steel, roofing and interior finish with our own machines. On a specialty item such as final electrical hookup we bring in a licensed trade, and we tell you up front when that happens.
Either way. Most customers have us do both, because when one company grades the pad and stands the building on it, the base question never turns into an argument. If you already have a pad we will look at it and tell you straight whether it is ready.
It depends on size, how much site work the ground needs, whether you want it insulated and lined, and what doors go in it. Two barns with the same footprint can be thousands apart for those reasons. We give you a real number after we walk the property, and the estimate is free.
Yes. Our Pennsylvania Home Improvement Contractor registration is PA HIC #[ADD NUMBER], and we will send a current certificate of insurance with your estimate any time you ask for one.
We do. A sidewalk, a bathroom, a leaking flashing, a load of firewood. Plenty of the barns we build started years earlier as a small repair for the same family.
It moves with the season and the weather. We run one job at a time, so we can give you a real start window instead of putting you on a list and going quiet. Call and ask where the calendar sits right now.
Most of our work comes from someone driving past a barn we built and asking who put it up. If we built something for you, a few words go a long way.

We meet you on site, pull a tape, talk through what you want to build. The estimate is free and you owe us nothing for it.
Pick a time at your convenience and we will mark our calendar.
Call, or send the form and we will get back to you to set up a time to walk the property. The estimate is free and you owe us nothing for it.
The more you tell us here, the better the first conversation goes.
Your request is in. We will call to set up a time to come out and look at the job. If it is urgent, call 717-599-8341 and one of us will pick up.
