Waggoner Construction

What Waggoner Construction does

Waggoner Construction, Inc. is a privately held, full-service general and industrial contractor founded in 1990 by Byron S. Waggoner and headquartered at 135 Bentz Mill Rd, East Berlin, Pennsylvania. The firm delivers integrated construction services spanning demolition, excavation, earthwork, grading, concrete, steel fabrication and erection, masonry, roofing, paving, and finished carpentry, alongside mechanical and industrial capabilities including HVAC, process piping, millwright work, plant relocation, machinery welding, and commercial refrigeration. It also provides 24/7 emergency and preventative maintenance, shutdowns, and design-build services for pre-engineered metal buildings and commercial fit-outs.

The company serves ten or more distinct verticals — food processing, manufacturing, warehousing, quarry/mining, agriculture, universities, waste-to-energy, paper mills, aerospace and defense, and a cluster of office-based sectors (healthcare, financial services, pharmaceutical, transportation) — through project-based contracts won via competitive bidding and direct enterprise engagement. Its differentiators are concentrated in compliance credentials (ABC Inc. accreditation, OSHA and MSHA certification, prequalification on ISN, Avetta, and Appruv) and a 200+ skilled trades workforce with a certified OSHA/JLG instructor on staff. Headcount is 200+ employees, with 11,900+ projects completed over 34 years of operation.

Revenue is generated through professional-services construction contracts quoted on a per-project basis (scope, materials, labor, timeline), with no public pricing or financial disclosure. The go-to-market motion is enterprise field sales — direct in-person consultations, project bidding, and negotiated contracts — primarily across Pennsylvania and neighboring states, with stated willingness to mobilize beyond the core region when project requirements dictate. The company maintains a single East Berlin, PA headquarters, operates as an independent corporation with no parent entity or institutional ownership, and has no disclosed funding rounds, M&A activity, or external investment.
