Why do people seek out the Amish Community for the contracting needs?

If you have ever driven through Pennsylvania, you have seen a lot of beautiful sites. Especially if you are driving through Lancaster County! The beautiful fields, cattle grazing on the countryside, and most likely the hardworking Amish community working away! Whether it’s on their farms, or on the new house being built on the side of the road, the Amish community is known for their amazing craftsmanship. So it’s no surprise that when people from all over the tristate area have a roofing need, they often seek out an Amish company. In fact, Amish Commercial Roofing Contractors is a major search on google. Why? There are many reasons for this. What I hope to do for the next minute or two is explain why this amazing community with such a rich history is so sought after and trusted. So let’s dive in!

Why use an Amish Commercial Roofing Contractor?

The Amish community is known for many things, but most importantly for honesty, integrity, and quality work (we utilize the best commercial roofing materials in the industry) . Putting a new roof on your building is a big deal. You want a company you can trust. A company who will stand behind their work. A company that will honor their warranties. A company who will go the extra mile. For centuries, the Amish community has been known to deliver on all of these things and this is why they are so sought after.

Why is the Amish Community so good at what they do?

Because they start at a young age!! From very early on, they learn the value of hard work and are taught their chosen craft. They are also a very entrepreneurial community and own and operate many small businesses. There is a reason people like to work with a small business over a large one…..the service is second to none. You are usually dealing with the owner every step of the way. His name is on the building so it’s important to make his or her clients happy.

For nearly 11 years, Jake Smucker has owned and operated J Smucker Contracting. Jake and his family are Amish, as are many of the employees of the company. And while Jake and his entire company are proud to be an Amish family owned and operated company, it is not what defines the company. What defines the company, and influences every decision it makes, is its faith. You see, on the outside, people see the quality work and the honesty and integrity. But what drives those values for the Amish community, and Jake Smucker specifically, is their faith. We are proud to be a faith based company, and we hope it shows. In every interaction we have with our clients, with every job we complete, we hope it’s the light of our Lord and Savior that shines through. As Christians, we believe we are called to serve others. And that’s our mission everyday at J Smucker Contracting.

So why hire an Amish Commercial Roofing Contractor?

The long and short of it is, you should hire the best contractor. As I’ve explained, for many reasons, the Amish community are considered to be the best. But don’t hire them because they are Amish. Hire the company you choose because they gave you a fair price. They pick up the phone every time you call. They respond quickly to every email you send. They arrive on time, do quality work, and keep a clean work site. Hire them because they spelled out the whole project in detail before starting, and kept you a part of the process along the way. Hire them because someone recommended them to you, because they had an awesome experience. Hire them because their core values are honesty and integrity, and they actually stand behind those words because their faith compels them to. Hire them because, as a small business, you are directly helping them support their families and not just funding some large business adding another dollar to their bottom line. But most importantly hire them because they have earned it…….and if they happen to be Amish too…..well that’s just a bonus!!
