“He climbs highest who helps another up” — the ethos Elam G. Stoltzfus instilled when he founded EGStoltzfus in southcentral Pennsylvania in 1968 — remains the guiding principle of a construction company now in its second and third generation of family ownership.
The award-winning firm specializes in the design and build of neighborhood homes, custom homes, residential remodeling and commercial construction across southcentral Pennsylvania and surrounding regions.
Stoltzfus, known as EG, built the company on principles of faith, family and a customer-centric philosophy rooted in a passion for crafting distinctive spaces. Those values have carried across generations: the family that leads EGStoltzfus today lives and works in the same communities the company serves, and the firm’s intimate knowledge of the region shapes its approach to every project. More than 58 years after its founding, EGStoltzfus remains one of the most highly regarded construction companies in the region, recognized for honesty, integrity and quality of work.
Community engagement and volunteerism are deeply ingrained in the company’s culture. EGStoltzfus contributes time and resources to a range of community outreach initiatives across the region, guided by the founder’s belief in lifting others as the measure of true progress — continuing, as the company describes it, a legacy of giving back one story at a time.
