Handcrafted Outdoor Excellence
Rooted in Heritage, Built for Legacy
Nestled in the heart of Lancaster County’s rolling farmland, Homestead Structures has been designing and building exceptional outdoor living structures since 2003. From our quiet corner of New Holland, Pennsylvania, our handcrafted pool houses, pavilions, garages, and garden sheds have made their way into the most beautiful backyards in the USA.
A Legacy of Craftsmanship
What began as a small family business supporting our local Amish community has evolved into a premier builder of custom, high-end outdoor living structures. From elegantly appointed pool houses to custom pavilions, carriage house garages, and curated garden retreats, every Homestead structure is a reflection of time-honored craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and enduring quality.
Our team of experienced artisans, many of whom live just steps from our shop, begin their day before sunrise, crafting each structure with care and precision. This intimate, hands-on approach ensures that your project is more than just a structure - it’s a legacy to be enjoyed for generations.
A Family-Run Company with Deep Roots
Founded by Steve and Martha in 2003, Homestead Structures remains a family-run business shaped by faith, integrity, and a love for purposeful work. Their nine children have played vital roles in growing the company - whether managing sales, working in the shop, teaching, or tending the family’s farm. This strong sense of family and community is woven into every project they build.

Our Vision
