What We Do

Every detail matters. Layout, lighting, materials, and craftsmanship come together to elevate the comfort and beauty of your home — inside and out.

Custom built-in bar and coffee station with navy cabinetry and wine storage by Harlan Custom Contracting

Kitchen Remodeling

A kitchen remodel touches everything — layout, lighting, cabinetry, flooring, and the small transitions most people only notice when they're done wrong. We plan the whole picture first, then build it with the same crew you met on day one.

Luxury primary bathroom remodel with marble tile walk-in shower and chandelier by Harlan Custom Contracting

Bathroom Remodeling

Bathrooms punish shortcuts. Waterproofing, slopes, ventilation, and tile prep all live behind the finishes — which is why we build them right before we make them beautiful.

Finished basement with custom bar, quartz counters, wood ceiling detail and pendant lighting by Harlan Custom Contracting

Basement Finishing

A finished basement is the cheapest square footage you'll ever add — the structure already exists. The craft is in moisture control, ceiling heights, egress, and making the stair transition feel like part of the house instead of an afterthought.

New pressure-treated wood deck with custom railings built by Harlan Custom Contracting

Decks & Outdoor Living

A deck lives outside in Pennsylvania weather year-round, so structure comes first: footings, ledger connections, flashing, and drainage matter as much as the boards you walk on.

Renovated staircase with custom wainscoting, newel posts, and refinished hardwood by Harlan Custom Contracting

Home Additions

The hardest part of an addition isn't building new space — it's making the new space feel like it was always there. Rooflines, siding transitions, floor heights, and trim profiles have to match, inside and out.

Craftsman-style home exterior with gray siding, stone accents, and black roof by Harlan Custom Contracting

Exterior Remodeling

The outside of your home takes the weather so the inside doesn't have to. Siding, roofing, flashing, and drainage are a system — and when one part is failing, patching a symptom usually costs more than fixing the cause.

Home re-clad with new gray siding after stucco removal by Harlan Custom Contracting

Stucco Remediation

Chester County and the Main Line have a well-known problem: stucco applied in the 1990s and 2000s that traps water against the sheathing. Left alone, it rots framing from the outside in — and it never gets cheaper to fix.

Two-story addition with new white board-and-batten siding and stone veneer base by Harlan Custom Contracting

Siding

Siding is your home's rain jacket — it only works if what's underneath is right. We install and replace siding with correct house wrap, flashing, and trim details, so it looks sharp and stays dry for decades.

New craftsman-style home with gray siding, stone accents, and covered porch built by Harlan Custom Contracting

New Home Builds

Building new is the one time you get to make every decision from the footings up. We build custom homes the same way we remodel: owner on the job, honest schedule, and craftsmanship in the details most builders rush past.

Custom under-stairs oak cabinetry and beverage center built by Harlan Custom Contracting

Handyman Services

Not every job is a renovation. Doors that stick, drywall that needs patching, trim that never got finished, the garage that needs insulating — small jobs deserve the same craftsmanship as big ones, and most contractors won't touch them.

Two-tone designer kitchen with sage green island, black-frame windows, and brass fixtures by Harlan Custom Contracting

Interior Design

The best renovations are decided before demolition starts: layouts, materials, lighting, hardware, and how it all works together. We bring design into the build process so the vision in your head is what actually gets built.

Renovated stone farmhouse with board-and-batten addition and paver patio managed end-to-end by Harlan Custom Contracting

Project Management

A renovation lives or dies on coordination: the right trade on the right day, inspections passed the first time, materials on site before the crew is. That's the job most homeowners don't want — and shouldn't have to do.

Harlan Custom Contracting installer setting mosaic tile over a waterproofed shower pan

Tile Installation

Tile is unforgiving — every layout decision and every substrate shortcut shows forever. We set tile over properly prepared, properly waterproofed surfaces, which is why our showers stay watertight and our floors stay flat.

Refinished hardwood floors and renovated staircase with custom wainscoting by Harlan Custom Contracting

Hardwood Flooring

Few upgrades change a home like hardwood — and few things hurt like a bad floor job. We install new hardwood and refinish original floors to furniture-grade results, including lacing new boards into old so repairs disappear.

Finished basement with luxury vinyl plank flooring installed by Harlan Custom Contracting

LVP Flooring

LVP earned its popularity: waterproof, tough, warm underfoot, and convincing enough that guests ask if it's hardwood. It's our go-to floor for basements, kitchens, mudrooms, and busy family homes.

Open-concept interior renovation with custom cabinetry wall by Harlan Custom Contracting

Residential Elevators

Adding an elevator to an existing home is exacting work: a plumb shaft cut through the structure of the house, framing to the manufacturer's millimeter specs, and finish work that makes it look like the house was always built this way.
