Business Name: Showaker Construction LLC

Location: Newville

Contact: 717-961-9892

Q: Why did you want to start this kind of business?

A: I decided to launch my own small construction business because I saw so much potential for growth. I really wanted the freedom of working for myself, while also making a positive impact by helping others. There’s nothing quite like the feeling of accomplishment at the end of each day, especially seeing the smiles on my clients’ faces.

Q: How did you get your start?

A: In 2023, my wife and I took on the challenge of building our own home from the ground up, starting with a completely wooded lot. We cleared the land ourselves and managed the construction process. That experience taught me so much about different aspects of construction. Once we finished, I had several people asking me to take on projects for them. That’s when I realized the potential for a business here, and it’s just grown from there.

Q: What does your business sell or provide?

A: Showaker Construction LLC offers a wide range of construction services, including concrete work, siding, roofing, new construction and remodeling. Basically, if it involves construction, I got you covered. Give us a call for a free estimate.

Q: What is the biggest challenge you are facing right now?

A: Right now, my biggest challenge is time management. I’m splitting my focus between my full-time job and growing the construction business. It’s a challenge, but it also motivates me to be as efficient as possible.

Q: What is your favorite thing to do or place in Cumberland County?

A: My favorite thing to do other than work in Cumberland County is to head out for a bike ride or hike on the nearby trails.
