Category 3 cleanup, done by the book.
Greencastle sits on US 11 between Hagerstown and Chambersburg, about 30 minutes from our shop and right at the Mason-Dixon Line. The borough itself is small (~4,200 residents) but Antrim Township — which surrounds it — is one of Pennsylvania's largest townships geographically and one of the fastest-growing parts of southern Franklin County. The mix of borough housing and rural-residential township properties produces a wide variety of restoration calls: 1800s brick rowhouses around Center Square, mid-century post-war ranches in the older suburbs, and increasingly large suburban builds on former farm parcels. Greencastle is also one of our easiest-economics service areas. The 30-minute drive from Hagerstown is mostly highway (I-81 to US 11), our techs are routinely there for non-emergency inspections same-day, and the lower density of competing national-chain restoration companies in central-southern PA means our local presence stands out. A signature restoration challenge in Greencastle: Conococheague Creek runs through the area and has produced multiple flood events in the past decade. Properties along the creek and its tributaries have a recurring water-damage profile that our crews know well.
