Waynesboro is the second-largest borough in Franklin County after Chambersburg — about 10,500 residents — and sits just north of the Pennsylvania-Maryland border, 35 minutes east of Hagerstown. It's historically a manufacturing town: the Frick Company (later acquired and now Johnson Controls) built ice-making and refrigeration machinery here for over a century, and that legacy still shapes the housing stock. Block after block of late-1800s and early-1900s frame and brick single-family homes built for factory workers fill the older neighborhoods, and the borough has the distinctive feel of a Pennsylvania industrial town that survived its industrial transition. For restoration work, Waynesboro is interesting precisely because of that workers'-housing density. Late-1800s and early-1900s single-family stock in volume means consistent failure patterns — cast-iron drain offsets, galvanized supply line failures, slate roof ice dams, and original electrical reaching end-of-life. We've been busy here for years. We respond into Waynesboro from Hagerstown in about 35 minutes via PA-16 east. The drive is straightforward — through Greencastle and over PA-16 — and our crews know the route well.
