Harth Builders

Serving the Greater Philadelphia Area

Design, Build, and Remodeling Services in Philadelphia

Make Your Dreams Come True

Custom Home Construction

Across the Greater Philadelphia Area, Harth Builders is well-known for our award-winning Design-Build Remodeling services, but what many homeowners may not realize is that we build custom homes, as well.

Harth’s newest custom home enclave is Port Royal Reserve. Nestled in the hills along the Schuylkill River, this six-home sanctuary is situated in nature and minutes from downtown Philadelphia. Boasting exquisite finishes, attention to detail, and approximately 4,400 square feet, these residences will offer ample space for both relaxation and entertainment. Learn how you can make it your home at portroyalreservephl.com.

Custom Homes
Whether you are already working with an architect, or would like us to provide the complete spectrum of construction services, Harth Builders has the design-build expertise to create the ideal custom home for you.

Harth Builders recently announced a collaboration with Westchester Modular Homes (WMH) to build custom single-family and multi-family homes. Known for their high-quality construction and rapid turnaround time, WMH has been manufacturing modular homes since 1986. By offering WMH products to our clients, Harth Builders enhances their ability to deliver luxury custom homes for clients quickly and efficiently.

Whereas homes that are custom built on-site often experience weather-related production delays, modular custom homes are constructed by experienced craftsmen indoors in a climate-controlled environment. One of the benefits of this arrangement is that work can be scheduled and performed more easily. Constructing custom homes in a warehouse also provides greater security for building materials, which yields cost-savings for homeowners as it reduces waste and shrinkage in the process.

What is Good Design?

Universal Design

Aging in Place

If you plan to stay in your home for years to come, make sure it’s ready to accommodate the future you. By upgrading your home’s functionality and style, you can age in a space that will suit your needs for years to come.

Work with a Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist (CAPS) at Harth Builders. We also partner with Integrative AIP, which will assess your home and develop aging-in-place solutions specifically for you.

We have worked on numerous projects to address accessibility needs over the years. Our team creates concepts and designs to allow our clients to independently use their space even with a variety of different abilities. Principles of accessible design benefit all users.

Designed for your lifestyle and budget

Exterior Renovations

Curb Appeal
Exterior renovations that improve the look of your home from the street are considered curb appeal enhancements. These home improvements make you feel better every time you walk up to your door. As an added benefit, they can also improve resale value. Whether you would like to add a new front entrance, update an existing portico, or add a covered porch, Harth Builders can help you make a statement.
With the help of our talented team of designers and craftsmen, Harth Builders will create an outdoor retreat where your family and friends can relax and unwind throughout the year. Whether you are looking for a terraced composite wood deck, or a beautifully hardscaped patio with seating vignettes, a built-in barbeque grill, and firepit, Harth Builders will create the ideal outdoor living area for your lifestyle and budget.
If you live in a stucco home built in the last 20 years, you may need to have your home assessed for necessary repairs. Sources, such as our local CBS affiliate, report that there has been widespread stucco failures in homes across our area. You might consider replacing your stucco with various materials such as cement board siding, acrylic stucco, or a newer PVC siding product. Removing stucco can often lead to additional opportunities such as replacing existing, and often dated, arched windows and doors.

RELIABLE SERVICE FOR PROJECTS OF ALL SIZES

Small Projects & Renovations

Whether your powder room needs updating, or you simply need a new front door, you can depend on us for your high-quality small renovation needs. The Harth you know but with a streamlined approach.
Handyman Repair Services
Many don’t realize it, but we perform handyman services, as well as larger projects. These projects help to keep our team busy between projects. You won’t find anyone more reliable or better equipped to perform these household repairs than the team at Harth Builders. The next time a cabinet door breaks, or trim work needs to be replaced and painted, you know who to call.
Our full-service remodeling firm specializes in all aspects of home renovation — including windows and doors.
By testing for power consumption, temperature variances, air leaks and more, Harth Builders can determine the best solutions for improving your home’s overall energy performance and lowering your cost of living. The first step is to conduct a blower door test. Blower door tests, which start at less than $900, identify the “leakiness“ of your home. The data we collect from this test creates a baseline of energy efficiency and enables Harth Builders to provide a comprehensive strategy with multiple options for improving the energy efficiency of your home.
Several of your spaces may function adequately but just need a little love. Harth offers you the same dedicated design team and quality construction you trust without the time commitment of multiple meetings. Simple rooms/areas to refresh can include: bathrooms, kitchens, decks, and lower levels!

Why Discerning Nonprofits Choose Harth

Nonprofit Capital Improvement Projects

Our Process

We use a proven design-build approach that keeps every phase organized and transparent. From your first meeting with our team to the final walkthrough, you’ll have a clear plan, a dedicated point of contact, and regular updates—no surprises.

Our team has completed projects for a range of nonprofit organizations, including arts, cultural, religious, educational, scouting, and historic institutions. We understand the realities nonprofits face: strict budgets, collaborative approvals, phased fundraising, grant compliance, and the importance of honoring the mission behind the space

Nonprofit work often involves multiple voices. We communicate clearly and proactively with executive directors, board members, facilities teams, municipal zoning officials, and committees to keep decisions aligned and momentum strong from start to finish.

Many of our nonprofit clients stay operational during construction. We take extra care to keep job sites clean, safe, and minimally disruptive. From setting clear work hours to maintaining accessibility, we respect your team and the people you serve.

Nonprofits across the Greater Philadelphia Area continue to choose Harth Builders for their second and third projects. That trust is built on decades of craftsmanship, professionalism, and a team that treats your mission like our own.

Harth Builders was awarded the National Contractor of the Year Award in the category of Commercial Exterior Renovation from the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) for their work restoring Whitemarsh Foundation’s Dixon Meadow House. 

The Foundation was thrilled to work with such an outstanding partner in the Farmhouse’s restoration, and together we’ve brought back this historically significant structure to its former glory.”–Kim Sheppard, President, Whitemarsh Foundation
