An addition needs a building permit and inspections in every one of them. UDA Services prepares and files that application. A neighborhood HOA may also need to approve the plans, and we help with that request.

An addition in the Harrisburg area typically takes four to six weeks of building once the permit is issued, as elsewhere. The drawings by the architect and the municipal review come first. Each time here counts from the start of work to the finished addition.

Highest Recommendation:
It was a pleasure working with Jake and his guys. everyone communicated well during all phases of the addition. Every phase went like clock work. No waiting or delays. Jake made good suggestions to what "we thought" was a good plan to ensure that the results would be great. All of his guys are equally professional and a pleasure to work with.
Jake and his team completed the concrete upgrade for our pool in 2020 and this spring completed a project renovating our deck and turning it into an enclosed porch/sunroom, with new concrete patio and steps to our pool. From start to finish, they were dependable and meticulous. Jake took our ideas and vision and made it a reality, offering suggestions along the way. Both projects were done in a timely manner. Highly recommended and we plan to use UDA Services again soon for our next project.
Jake and Team can make it happen! I met with Jake to build a "custom" garage. From the initial visit to completion, his team never failed. He took my vision and worked with me every step of the way. His knowledge was very helpful in making suggestions to improve design. This project involved quite a bit of earth moving and Jake eased the stress of that, his crew knew exactly what they had to do. I can't say enough about Jake and his team, they are the hardest, sincere professionals I've seen. Daniel, Nate and crew are hard working talented workers. I have no problem recommending UDA services for any project you may have. If you want an honest, reliable, experienced, personal contractor, UDA services won't let you down. Would definitely use them for any future projects.
