Warfel Opens New Office in Paoli

Warfel Construction Company is pleased to announce the opening of a new office in Paoli, Pennsylvania. A full staff, including operations, preconstruction and estimating, and business development staff will serve clients throughout the Greater Philadelphia area.

This office replaces the existing Malvern office, formerly located in the Valleybrook Corporate Center, and provides a base of operations for team members serving clients in Southeastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

“For many years, we’ve been working in the Greater Philadelphia area,” said Matt Hartzler, President of Warfel Construction. “We believe we can serve our clients better by being closer to those projects. We opened our office in Malvern with a small group, and we quickly realized how well received the move was by our clients. The office grew, and we decided it was time to put a stake in the ground and be 100% committed to our clients in Paoli and the surrounding area. We bought a building, renovated it, and our team just moved in. We’re very excited for how this will help us better serve clients in this region and grow our team.”

“We wanted to make sure we planted some roots in Paoli with people who were living and working in the community surrounding the Greater Philadelphia area,” said Conlan Swope, Vice President of Operations. “We know how important our trade partner relationships are to successfully serve our clients. We want people to see us as a Greater Philadelphia contractor, in addition to our long history in Lancaster.”
