Custom Home Building & Barndominiums Built for Latrobe Properties
A few things come up again and again on Latrobe jobs: older city homes on stone foundations that need a look before an addition, and rural Unity properties on well and septic that need utility locates. We plan for both before we price the work, and we know what the local building department wants to see on a permit application, which keeps the review from dragging on.
Common challenges we address here
- Older city homes on stone foundations that need a look before an addition
- Rural Unity properties on well and septic that need utility locates
- Lots that slope toward the Loyalhanna and need drainage planning
Seasonal Considerations
Latrobe gets more snow than the communities closer to Pittsburgh, and the spring thaw saturates rural soils. Pads and foundations go in best once things dry out in late spring.
