As soon as Mervin Jay Beiler was old enough to swing a hammer, he started building things. He recalls cutting down saplings and building a log cabin by hand as a kid along with his twin brother. "I never questioned that I would do anything else as a career. It's in my blood," Beiler says.

Born and raised in Lancaster County, Beiler continued working with his hands and growing his skill set in his father's company. It was not just the fundamentals of quality construction that he learned, but also a responsible work ethic and appreciation for customer loyalty. This is the foundation on which M. Jay Builders was built in 2007 when Beiler was 23.

"I took all of my passion for this craftsmanship and funneled it into my business. From early on I valued giving customers the right product – not just the fastest product – with research behind it to provide something that would be better in the end," he says.

M. Jay Builders prides itself on the values of integrity, quality and creativity – the guiding principles of every project no matter the size. With the homeowner's vision at the forefront, M. Jay Builders brings it to life with trusted, high-end products that will make a home stand out as well as keep it protected. Thanks to the team's wide skillset, the company is able to execute any number of remodeling needs and the extraordinary results help transform your home's look and feel.

Services offered run the gamut from all types of roofing, remodeling and other exterior needs to specialty projects inspired by customers. And while a lot of companies can say they provide these services, M. Jay Builders aims to make the homeowner's experience far from average. And it appears to be hitting the target, as word of mouth is its main method of gaining new business as well as repeat customers.

In recent years, roofing and remodeling projects have undergone incredible innovations. In fact, homes in need of replacement in these areas will find new options that deliver on both aesthetics and longevity.

Among the favorites for roofing at M. Jay Builders are cedar shingles. The company installs premium, 100% edge grain shingles that come with a 50 year warranty. The cedar look is ideal for Pennsylvania's many historic homes, but it can also provide modern properties with that extra pop that helps further boost curb appeal.

Synthetic options are available as well, simulating cedar and slate. M. Jay Builders works with brands such as DaVinci and Inspire to provide homeowners with the look they want without the associated cost, while still delivering a quality product that will last. In addition, the company is equipped to handle all roofing needs, including asphalt shingles, standing seam meatal roofing, EPDM rubber roofing as well as the vast options available these days with asphalt shingles.

No matter which style of roofing you choose, you can rest assured that the highly skilled team at M. Jay Builders are dedicated to implement your vision for your dream home. Beiler and his staff are well-educated on which materials perform best in extreme weather situations along with proper installation techniques. That level of expertise and attention to detail is just another reason why the company has become a leader in the remodeling industry.

And while M. Jay Builders stand by its products, it places equal emphasis on its people as well. Beiler values his employees and has high standards for them. Crews are well-trained so homeowners don't have to worry about how well a project will be done or who is showing up. This also means they are accountable for every project from conception to completion. That gives homeowners the peace of mind that the work will be completed as promised and there will be no hidden fees – or worse.

"We value hard work. It's part of our culture and the way God created us to work, serve others and provide for our families. I am very thankful to be able to work with such fine craftsmen and provide genuine quality services to homeowners," Beiler says.
