The stone was laid in 1790. We plan for 2190.
Southeastern Pennsylvania has some of the finest houses in America, from fieldstone farmhouses and Main Line estates to newer homes built with real ambition. The best of them were built to last, and yours should be too.
We are a high-end residential construction firm founded by builders with decades of combined experience. We pair real craft with modern construction discipline: careful preconstruction, clear budgets, and systems that make a home comfortable for decades, whether it was built last year or two centuries ago.
Why homeowners choose us
Four promises we make to every house
No surprises, by design.
Every house hides something behind its walls. We investigate before we price, name the unknowns in writing, and tell you promptly when we find something.
Old and new, seamlessly joined.
Kitchens, additions, and modern systems that feel like they were always there, designed alongside your architect and, where required, your historic review board.
We know how houses are built.
From modern framing to stone, timber, plaster, and slate, we understand how your house was put together, so we know how to make it last.
We stay.
Every project ends with a complete house record of drawings, materials, and sources, and a first-year Heritage Care visit. The relationship outlasts the build.

Common questions
Questions we hear first
What kinds of projects does Walnut Hill Heritage Builders take on?
We plan and build high-end whole-home remodels, luxury kitchens and baths, additions that look like they belong, and new custom homes. We also restore historic homes and convert barns and outbuildings. Our work is concentrated in Berks, Lehigh, Bucks, Montgomery, Chester, and Lancaster counties in southeastern Pennsylvania.
Do you only work on historic homes?
No. We work on exceptional homes of every era, from newer houses to period homes. Older and historic houses are one of our strengths, not a requirement. What our projects share is care: materials suited to the building, careful planning, and a finished home meant to stand for generations.
How does a project with Walnut Hill begin?
Every project begins with a conversation and a walk through the house. We then offer a preconstruction phase to investigate existing conditions, coordinate with your architect or designer, and build a detailed budget before construction begins, so the unknowns of an older house are named up front.
Can you work with our architect?
Yes. We regularly collaborate with independent architects, interior designers, and preservation consultants, and we can recommend trusted design partners if you have not engaged one yet. Bringing the builder in early, during design, usually produces a better house and a more reliable budget.
