What Our Clients Say

Built on Trust &
Quality Work

Post Frame Garage Addition

"Core Structures was extremely easy, pleasant and accommodating to work with on our pole barn remodel. The conversation started on a job site that I walked onto, you know, to get some information. One of the owners of Core Structures was onsite working, this was how I knew they took pride in the work they did. We went through the usual process of getting a quote, signing a contract and beginning our remodel. Every step along the way, someone, usually Pete, was in contact with me and we could not have been more satisfied with the outcome. We highly recommend Core Structures for your pole barn project."

Wayne and Lora Sigler
Coopersburg, PA
Custom Built New Home

"We highly recommend Core Structures to help you with all of your building needs. Their attention to detail is unsurpassed. They are easy to communicate with and they strive to stay on time and provide an excellent finished building. We were on a tight timeline to complete our house and they finished on schedule, providing us with our beautiful home when we needed to move in. Core Structures is our first choice for all building and remodeling."

Pierre and Samantha St Jacques
Orefield, PA
Metal Roof Installation

"Core Structures replaced an old slate roof on one of my barns. They provided high quality, timely and very affordable service. The workers were pleasant and respectful and everything was completed on schedule and within the estimate. I was particularly pleased with how effectively Core Structures cleaned and removed the old slate. The workers also patched a number of old squirrel holes in the soffit areas of the barn when asked (and without charge). Core Structures provided high quality service in a very professional manner. I would use them again without question."

William Lobst
New Tripoli, PA
Private Horse Barn

"Best group of people I ever had the pleasure of working with. I asked Core Structures to build a stable for me. I saw a number of barns that they had built for others and liked the way they looked. This company turned out to be one of the most professional group of individuals I've ever worked with. My barn is gorgeous! They did everything that I asked, made amazing suggestions, and anytime I needed their help they come out to my house. They have become a lifeline for me. Even their subcontractors have now done work on my house and all have been great! I would not hesitate to recommend Core Structures to anybody for any work that you might need done. In today's day and age is hard to find people so dedicated!"

Christine Calamari
New Tripoli, PA
Custom Patio Addition

"Core demonstrated professionalism at a very high level starting with our meeting to discuss our ideas for our patio addition. The follow up was timely and the proposal and contract were very detailed. We felt they were very fair with the quote. At the start of our project the Core Structures crew was friendly and on time. The crew traveled long distances to our home every day arriving at the same time which showed Imad and I they were reliable, trustworthy and very committed to completing our project timely. The crew was very knowledgeable and skilled offering suggestions to enhance the aesthetics for a beautiful patio. The project was well managed, with good quality materials for building a solid, safe structure for us to enjoy for many years. We couldn't be happier! We will definitely keep Core Structure in mind for future projects."

Carolyn and Imad Ammary
Northampton, PA
Custom Pole Building Garage

"We contracted with Core Structures to build a challenging custom 2-car garage pole building with a unique 12-foot attached pouch close to our existing home. It wasn't an easy job and I choose Core because they had the experience to execute what I was looking to build… and they exceeded all my expectations. The team at Core is first class and are great to work with start to finish. Building quality was impeccable. Crews were professional and courteous to my family coming and going. Mike and Pete were always quick to answer all my dumb questions and even went above and beyond to help me with ideas and recommendations for concrete designs that wasn't part of my contract with them."
