Annville is close enough that we do not really think of it as a separate service area. From our shop in Myerstown, it is about 12 miles down Route 422, past Lebanon, roughly an 18 to 20 minute drive. We make that trip often, for kitchens, bathrooms, painting jobs, and everything in between.
If you live in Annville, you probably already know Route 422 well. It runs right through town as West Main Street, forming the line between North Annville Township and South Annville Township. That same road is what connects us to you. We are not a big regional outfit assigning your job to whichever crew is free. We are a small, family-owned company that already knows this stretch of Lebanon County because we work here on a regular basis.

A College Town With Deep Roots
Annville is best known as the home of Lebanon Valley College, a private college founded in 1866 that now sits on a 370 acre campus with about 1,700 undergraduates. The college has anchored the town for more than 150 years, and it shows. Annville Township’s median age is under 25, noticeably younger than most of Lebanon County, and that is a direct result of the student population living and renting here.
That also shapes the kind of remodeling and painting work Annville needs. The village’s older core is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Annville Historic District, with Federal, Georgian, and Victorian homes dating back to the 1700s. The Mary Gass House at Cumberland and King Streets, built in 1753, is still the oldest structure in town, a reminder of just how old some of the housing stock here really is. Mixed in with those historic homes and stone duplexes are the apartment buildings and rental houses near campus that turn over every August when a new group of LVC students moves in.
We treat those two housing types differently, and we think that is the right way to do it. A 1700s stone home near the historic district usually needs a slower, more careful hand, matching trim, patching old plaster, and working around walls that were never quite square to begin with. A rental unit near campus usually needs something faster and tougher: paint and flooring that can survive a rotating group of tenants without looking worn out by the second lease. Knowing which job is which, before we even walk in the door, is part of what being local actually means.
From a 1753 stone house near the college to a rental duplex that turns over every fall, we know what Annville’s housing actually looks like up close.
What We Do in Annville
Here is the short version of what our crews handle for Annville homeowners and landlords, whether the house dates to the 1700s or last year:
- ✓ Interior and exterior painting. Careful repaints for older homes near the college, plus turnover painting for rental units between tenants.
- ✓ Kitchen remodeling. Cabinets, counters, and layout updates, including the tighter kitchens common in Annville’s older homes.
- ✓ Bathroom renovation. Refreshes and walk-in shower conversions, for owner-occupied homes and rental units alike.
- ✓ Flooring and tile installation. Durable flooring that holds up to student rental turnover or updates worn floors in a historic home.
- ✓ Windows and doors. Replacement units that seal properly in older, out-of-square openings.
- ✓ Basement finishing. Turning an unused basement into real living space, with moisture control built into the plan.
- ✓ Exterior upgrades. Siding, trim, and porch work that respects the look of an older Annville street.
A few things change when your contractor already knows this stretch of Route 422. We do not need directions to the Annville Township municipal building, we already know how fast a Lebanon County basement can take on water during a spring thaw, and we know that move-in week in late August means landlords need painting and flooring turned around fast, not three weeks from now. That kind of familiarity comes from being fifteen minutes away, not from a service area page.

Annville Questions We Hear Often
Do you charge more to work in Annville since you are based in Myerstown?
No. Annville is close enough that travel is not a factor in our pricing. An 18 minute drive down Route 422 does not change your estimate compared to a job in Myerstown itself.
Can you help with a rental property near Lebanon Valley College?
Yes. We do turnover painting, flooring, and small repair work for landlords with student rentals near campus, and we can usually schedule around the school calendar so a unit is ready before move-in.
My house is in the Annville Historic District. Can you still work on it?
Yes. National Register listing does not usually stop you from remodeling your own home, but some exterior changes on an older property may need a heads-up to Annville Township first. We will help you figure out what that looks like for your specific house before we start any work.
