My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

About Us

Axtell Construction is a residential and commercial building contractor that has been doing business in Northeastern PA and surrounding counties for over 10 years. We are a complete construction company and work on additions, home renovations, kitchens and baths, decks, roofing, windows, siding. We have diverse experience working on commercial and government contracts, building new custom homes, renovating homes, or simply installing a new deck or roof. We will work with you to understand your vision, examine your current space and needs, and then develop a plan to bring your ideas to life. Most of our customers are either previous customers or a referral from a past customer. Joe Axtell has been in the construction business for over 20 years. He founded Axtell Construction with his wife Esther in 2004. Since that time, Axtell has grown quickly and become Northeast Pennsylvania’s prime construction company. Joe began working in the construction industry as a teenager in Montana and Washington, working for his brother. Joe attended Baptist Bible College in Clarks Summit, Pennsylvania, and has been a NEPA resident ever since. Before founding Axtell Construction, Joe worked as a foreman for a local custom home builder. Esther Axtell is a lifelong NEPA resident. A former nurse, Esther now focuses on taking care of Axtell’s residential and commercial customers. Joe and Esther work as a team with their customers to create the ultimate results for every single project, large and small.

I met Joe and Esther two years ago while doing research on a potential property purchase, and am THRILLED that I decided to work with them to construct my dream home on a lake in Northeastern PA. They are the best partners anyone could ever hope for - super high quality, great problem solvers, super customer-focused, creative, fun, kind, and honest. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

Excellent job - paid attention to detail. Very honest and excellent at communicating job status. They gave me their honest opinion on what I should do - which actually saved me some money. I am very happy with my new deck!

Joe is very honest and reliable. He is creative and can work with your plans even if they are not correct he will make sure it is done right. he is better at higher quality work than just going on the cheap, thats one of the reasons it gets done right.

Axtell has done 3 major projects for me - kitchen remodel, bath remodel, and deck tear down/replacement. We have been satisfied with the work and his staff. They try to minimize house disruption and do a nice job keeping other areas clean.

Reliable, skilled, conscientious, and thorough. They have handled various re-hab projects in my 125 year old building between 2007 and 2014. I always go back.

Over seven years, we have used Axtell Construction for a complete kitchen remodel, replacement of all windows in our home, and a new roof. The roof required complete stripping of the old shingles and replacement of 11 sheets of plywood. In addition, Axtell replaced the fascia all around the house. I have always been 100% satisfied with their work in general, their attention to detail, the quality of their materials and the finish work on each job. Their prices are fair. If I had a building project to do today, I would call them first. The price below is for the roofing job.

Commented: CostDepends on total square foot of space, the roof was existing so there was not a cost for that. Depending on finishes you would be around $75-$100/sq. Ft.
