Our Journey

From our humble beginnings to becoming Lehigh Valley's premier general contracting company.

2010

The Foundation

Powerhouse General Contracting was founded by John Martinez with a simple mission: to provide quality construction services with integrity and precision. Starting with just three employees and a focus on residential renovations, we completed our first ten projects in the Allentown area.

2013

Expanding Our Capabilities

After establishing our reputation for quality residential work, we expanded into commercial construction. This year marked our first major commercial project—a 15,000 square foot office renovation that earned us recognition within the Lehigh Valley business community.

2016

Recognition & Growth

Powerhouse received the "Excellence in Construction" award from the Lehigh Valley Builders Association. Our team grew to 25 full-time employees, and we moved into our current headquarters on Quebec Street in Allentown to accommodate our expanding operations.

2019

Embracing Sustainability

We launched our "Build Green" initiative, focusing on sustainable construction practices and eco-friendly materials. This year also marked our 100th completed project, a milestone that reflected our growing presence in the region.

2022

Innovation & Technology

Embracing the future of construction, we integrated advanced building technologies and smart home features into our services. This innovation led to a 30% increase in residential renovation projects and several high-profile smart building implementations.
