Middendorf Contracting Inc. & M.R. Dirt Inc.

What Middendorf Contracting Inc. & M.R. Dirt Inc. does

Middendorf Contracting, Inc. is a family-owned, turn-key construction company founded in 1994 by Scott Middendorf in Towanda, Pennsylvania, serving Northeastern Pennsylvania and the Southern Tier of New York. The company operates as a horizontal general contractor and builder delivering custom site-built homes, modular homes (partnering with Ritz-Craft and Icon Legacy), and HUD-code double/single-wide manufactured homes (via Master-Craft), plus full renovation services (kitchens, bathrooms, roofing, siding, decks) and commercial construction including NUCOR pre-engineered steel buildings for industrial, retail, institutional, and agricultural clients. Its go-to-market is sales-led and direct-to-consumer, anchored by a Model Home Center with five furnished units (The Coolidge, Langdon, Spruce, Taft, and Willow Singlewide) where prospects tour models, consult on floor plans, and contract for turn-key delivery that bundles permits, excavation, septic, well, driveway, foundation, and build-out.

The company generates project-based revenue across five streams: residential construction, commercial construction, renovations, real estate lot sales at its owned Hemlock Hills development (30+ 1-6 acre lots starting at $49,000), and recurring lot rental at its owned Rockview Estates community ($350/month including water and sewer for single-wide, double-wide, and tiny homes). Pricing on home construction is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, while real estate products carry transparent price points. Customers include individual homeowners (long-tail residential), commercial enterprises (McDonald's, Frito Lay, Dandy Companies, Williams Company, Weatherford, Midwest Hose), and government/nonprofit clients (Bradford County, 1st United Methodist Church of Towanda). Distribution is exclusively direct via in-person showroom visits, on-site consultations, website/phone inquiries, and competitive commercial bidding — no dealers, distributors, or franchise model. A sister company, M.R. Dirt Inc., provides complementary project support. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional investment, is actively operating, and is currently investing in a new sales office and hiring a Commercial Project Manager/Estimator.

Others
