Berks Homes has been successfully building homes for close to 50 years. Our story began with a 19-year-old kid buying a nail gun and an air compressor in a diner parking lot. We’ve come a long way since then, but these humble beginnings serve as a reminder that we all have to start somewhere. And that start created the foundation of who we are today. We believe in a few simple truths... life is meant to be enjoyed through hard work, surrounding yourself with great people, and intentional times of rest. Our mission is to create lasting relationships by earning the trust of those we serve. We do this by hiring individuals who are never satisfied with the status quo and are proactive in their service to others.
