"Mel and his crew did a fantastic job restoring our 1860 bank barn. We couldn't be happier with the finished project!"
"Mel and his crew (led by his brother Al) just completed a pole barn addition for us. Limestone Builders exceeded all our expectations! They worked tirelessly and performed meticulous work. Mels communication was great - he kept me involved and aware of each step. We are already lining up the next project for them to help us with. We are so glad that we chose Limestone Builders and will recommend them to everyone we know! Thank you!"
"My husband and I had Limestone Builders take our 200+ year old Pennsylvania Bank barn through an impressive restoration project. We were extremely pleased with Mel and his team throughout the process for their attention to detail and quality of workmanship. In particular the structural beam and stonework is amazing. Our project was completed in a timely, thoughtful manner. We have already scheduled the first of many additional projects with them."
"Limestone Builders just completed framing and roofing a shed/porch roof for my 1790's bank barn. Mel did an excellent job spec'ing out the design to every last detail. Alvin and team completed the project in two days and was meticulous in their carpentry and cleanup exceeding my expectations, I plan to hire them again for additional projects."
"Limestone Builders did a great job on my detached garage in Harford County. Very smooth dealing with Mel on the design and pricing and the crew led by Ben did an excellent job on the construction. I would highly recommend."

Made our barn restoration an enjoyable process. The team was professional the site was organized and clean and the final product was beautiful."
""Ben and his crew did a fantastic job installing a new standing seam roof on our 30 year old horse barn. After interviewing several companies, we felt that Mel and Ben really knew what they were doing, more than anyone else. The results certainly proved this to be true. Price was reasonable and the results are fantastic. We recommend Limestone Builders to anyone considering a barn or building repair or construction."
""Limestone Builders has the experience, expertise and customer service needed to make your barn project a success. Mel and Benuel are easy to deal with, reliable and hard-working. Many Thanks for bringing my 40 x 80 bank barn back to life!"

"Beautiful, thoughtful restoration work on my barn. Wish I had them on other similar projects previously. The quality of the work is the best I've seen. Couldn't be happier."
"We highly recommend Limestone Builders for your barn restoration. Mel, Ben and his crew were very professional and pleasant to work with, always on time, true craftsmen! They started out with a run down 1914 barn and finished with a beautiful barn that we are so proud to have! If we ever have any other projects, we will be contacting them again."
"I have worked with Mel the great crew several times. They have structurally repaired by barn and put a new roof on a very old barn. They take the time to make the job right. I plan on using them for any project that I can't handle around the property. Pleasant, professional and honest! I highly recommend them."
"First time working with Limestone Builders. They performed repairs to a barn and garage, including window replacements, dutch doors, sliding doors and siding repairs among other things. Very happy with their work. Mel was easy to work with and responded to emails promptly. They completed the work quickly as well."
"We can't say enough nice things about Mel and his crew. They did a fantastic job redoing the outside of our barn, including windows and doors. Quality of the workmanship is great, they definitely know what they are doing. We will be hiring them again for other projects we have planned. Would highly recommend them for anyone looking to restore barns or building from scratch."
"My garage is finished! Limestone Builders did an excellent job and I would highly recommend them if you’re in the market to build definitely give them a call Mel was very reasonable on the price. Very responsive and the whole crew were very professional. They kept the site neat and clean during the whole process with no interruption whatsoever throughout construction. I can honestly say if I could offer more stars to rate them I definitely would"
"Mel took on a really dilapidated huge barn project at my warehouse. I am blessed to have hired this group. They went way out of their way to rebuild this barn from new roof, replacing rotting beams to new siding and doors. Attention to detail is incredible! These guys know barns! On time every day, easy to work with. Very fair on change orders due to unforseen rot. I didnt even ask for numbers as our trust was earned in the first couple days. The barn, 1803, looks like new and is the talk of the town! You will not go wrong hiring this company. If you're in my area please swing by and look at real craftsmanship! 8800 Longswamp Road, Alburtis, Pa."
"Limestone Builders just finished replacing the roof on my brick end barn built in 1843. They leveled the rafters and roof and did a wonderful job. I would recommend Limestone to anyone needing a roof replacement."
"Limestone Builders rebuilt our 1863 circa tobacco/corn barn by removing the outside wood siding and replacing it with board and batten siding. They worked with us in making the necessary structural changes and they were able to maintain the character and charm of this historic structure. We are very pleased with their work. We would readily use them again."
"Limestone Builders are wonderfully skilled, hardworking, and courteous barn builders. They were at my farm for 6 weeks in summer of 2020 replacing roofs on two 100-year-old barns and 20 stalls. I had also asked them to make structural repairs as needed. Benuel consulted with me daily about the work that needed to be done to preserve my buildings and made recommendations to extend the life of the barns. As these things go, I ended up residing the large barn and all the stalls. I highly recommend the company as honest and straight forward to deal with. The metal siding and roof work is beautiful and should last decades. One issue arose with water running between the flat roof and the gutter - Mel was responsive and attentive in fixing the issue."
"The first project Limestone Builders did for us was the restoration of our circa 1858 barn with a collapsed bankside foundation. The siding & flooring was removed and the barn lifted off of the original stone foundation. The entire bankside stone foundation was removed and a new 10" thick steel re-enforced foundation was poured. The barn was lowered onto the foundation, new board and batten siding was applied, new wooden floor beams and flooring were installed as well as vents, doors and windows! This job was executed with quality products and professional craftmanship!"
"My house is a converted barn and I hired Limestone Builders to restore the entire downstairs exterior - sliding doors, Dutch doors, and windows. So they weren't just working on my barn, it's my home too, and they gave me something to be proud of. Communication with Mel was excellent and the work is true craftsmanship. A couple unexpected things came up and in each case they took the extra time and did the extra work to resolve it the right way. I couldn't be happier with the job they did."
"Our barn is well over 150 years old and needed some serious TLC. Limestone Builders took care of everything--stone re-pointed, metal roof, new doors, new windows and siding. Anything unexpected was addressed quickly, professionally and fairly. Our barn turned out even better than what we had anticipated. We would (and already have) recommend Limestone Builders to anyone."
"Limestone Builders repaired my barn in the fall of 2022, and they did a great job. There were some aspects of the job that were unknown at the start and Mel & his team worked through them with me to deliver a great outcome. His team was prompt, professional, and treated my property with care. It safe to say that they exceeded my expectations without extending the job timeline or budget."
"Mel and his organization did a superb job building my Storage Shed. All the work was done expertly, and the quality is second to none. Mel also went over and above to ensure I was satisfied during every phase of the project, I highly recommend Mel and Limestone Builders for any building project you may have."
"I cannot tell you how impressed we were with Limestone Builders! We had 3 giant trees fall onto our barn in June 2020. I have attached some pics. I called 3 different companies for a quote. Mel from Limestone got back to me within a day, and was out to do the estimate within 3 days! The other guys came out to do estimates, but never even sent the proposal until I called them and asked for it several times. Ben and his crew finished our beutiful new barn in 6 days! It was amazing to watch. Their craftsmanship is outstanding. Limestone does amazing work. They are punctual, clean, hard working, and trustworthy. They even worked the day Hurricane Isaias hit- until it wasn’t safe anymore! I can’t say enough wonderful things about Limestone! They did an amazing job with our barn mess!"
"When our twenty-seven year old barn needed a restoration we decided upon Limestone Builders after seeing the job they did on our brother-in-law's horse barn in southern York County. John, Mel and their crew showed up on the day they said and everyday thereafter until the barn was finished. During the restoration they found and repaired rotten wood and did anything we requested willingly. In addition to being reasonably priced, they were a group of good men who were easy to work with and respectful of both our property and our neighbor's fields. We looked forward to seeing them every day and it was a pleasure to do business with them. We would highly recommend them without reservation."
"I am absolutely astounded by the remarkable job Limestone Barn did on my 200-year-old barn. From start to finish, the dedication, craftsmanship, and attention to detail were second to none. Mel Blank, the owner, took the lead on this challenging project. His vast knowledge of historical restoration was clearly evident as he perfectly captured the original essence of the structure while implementing modern conveniences. Mel’s commitment to authenticity, combined with his respect for the barn’s history, made this restoration truly special. Not only was the result stunning, but the process was equally commendable. Throughout the project, Mel was always available to address any concerns, explain the restoration procedures, and to ensure that we were comfortable with every step being taken. His passion for his work and his professional demeanour instilled a sense of trust that is invaluable when dealing with a project of this magnitude. It was fascinating to watch how Mel and his team revived our barn, treating it as more than just a building, but rather as a piece of history. Their understanding of the materials, especially the unique properties of limestone, truly sets them apart in this industry. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Limestone Barn for any restoration projects. Their work on our barn far exceeded our expectations. With Mel Blank at the helm, you can be sure your project will be handled with the utmost care, professionalism, and expertise. Thank you, Limestone Barn, for bringing our beloved barn back to life!"
"Limestone Builders transformed two of our pre-1900 buildings into beautiful structures. For our post-and-beam barn, they replaced support structures as needed including posts. They replaced flooring, straightened the roof line and added the framing for the new roof and siding. In addition to the new roof, siding and trim, they installed louvers, three slider doors, including one with an integrated walk-through door, rain gutters with gutter guards, and snow guards on the roof. For our old tractor shed, they replaced support structures as needed, added a concrete floor and provided a new roof, siding and trim, overhead door, walk-thru door, and replaced framing for existing doors and window. Mel, Ben and the crew demonstrated outstanding communication during the project, skilled and quality workmanship, and attention to detail. They had available when needed the equipment, materials and tools for the projects. They were professional and courteous. They were responsive and accommodating to our questions and concerns. They met all requirements of the contracts as well as additional change orders that happened along the way. They did what they had agreed to do and then some! Their driver got them to the job on time and safely back home each day. Thank you Mel, Ben and crew for a job well done!"
"What a pleasure it was working with Limestone Builders. Mel and his team are professional and honest folks and their craftsmanship is outstanding. They renovated my 4 story barn exactly as discussed, stayed on budget and delivered the finished product on time! They were flexible and open to several modifications made during construction and always went the extra mile to make sure we were satisfied with their services. We are extremely happy with the finished result and are looking forward to the next project (building a large garage) to be done in the future. Several people have stopped by to comment on how great our barn looks and have asked for Mel’s contact information. I highly recommend Limestone Builders!"
