Homestead Structures

Homestead Structures started the family business, Homestead Structures LLC in 2003 as a sideline to Homestead Structures's dairy farm in order to support Homestead Structures's family and others in the community. It seemed a natural, though not easy, move for Homestead Structures, since Homestead Structures had years of experience working on struct... ures for Homestead Structures's own property and others in Homestead Structures's community. Homestead Structures never anticipated the business taking off as it has and how much of a need there was in Central PA and beyond for well-made, aesthetically-pleasing sheds, garages, pool houses, pavilions, and other secondary structures. Steve (Homestead Structures's owner) and Martha were married in 1990 and their first son was born a year later. Their 9th & youngest child, Malinda, was born in 2010. One daughter is married to Steven Lapp, of Homestead's sales team, while two were teachers at a 1-room Amish school house. The youngest is the assistant House Manager and Gardener when not attending school. Their oldest son Melvin is the sales manager at Homestead, while their 2nd oldest, Eli, is the HR manager. Their 3rd son, Daniel, works in the shop as a custom structure builder and Stephen Jr., their youngest son, helps where needed when not in school. He's also the farm manager. Homestead Structures continues to expand Homestead Structures's handcrafted product offerings as Homestead Structures grow Homestead Structures's team of seasoned craftsmen. All of Homestead Structures's employees live in the community and many walk to work. The shop opens by 6:00AM as Homestead Structures get right to work. Homestead Structures close up around 5:00PM, allowing Homestead Structures's team to get home and spend time with their families as the sun goes down over the valley.Read More
