Horst Construction’s history begins in 1894 when a small church congregation in Terre Hill, Pennsylvania, asked Joseph Horst, a humble well-known carpenter, to build them a church. Known for his honest, high-quality work, Joseph quickly built a reputation for excellence. Over the years, Horst Construction expanded its services, delivering top-tier commercial construction across the Mid-Atlantic region, while remaining true to its foundational values.
