From the slopes of South Mountain to Dorneyville, we design and engineer additions, second stories and renovations for Salisbury Township homeowners.
Salisbury Township covers about 11 square miles of Lehigh County, bordering Allentown and Emmaus, which split it into two separate parts. The eastern portion includes Farmington, Gauff Hill and Summit Lawn, and Dorneyville lies in the northwest. Elevations run from about 220 feet along the Lehigh River to 1,030 feet at Big Rock County Park on South Mountain.
Hillside homes and established neighborhoods make additions here specific. Our engineers evaluate the existing structure and site first, then design the new work with the architecture.

In Pennsylvania, building permits are reviewed under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code by the township or borough, zoning comes first, and a project that needs relief from the zoning ordinance goes to the Zoning Hearing Board.
South Mountain lots bring slope, rock and drainage. We design stepped footings, retaining walls and drainage as needed.
Older homes in established neighborhoods are good candidates for second stories. We check the original framing and design any reinforcement.
However your project is approved, we deliver signed and sealed drawings to you, support you and your contractor through the permit submission and answer the building department's review comments in house. Read how a project moves from consultation to close out on our process page.
