ABOUT
OUR TEAM
As a seasoned general contracting company, MANDS CONTRACTING understands that construction is more than simply following drawings and making sure that a building is up to code. It’s about making a vision come to life. This means that the details are just as important as the structural elements. Whether it is the way a joint comes together, or the careful installation of a fine material, this team understands how to deliver excellence. From concept through completion, each milestone is met with the highest level of professionalism and craftsmanship. The company stands behind the work fully and makes sure customers are involved and included every step of the way.
/ Who We Are
MANDS CONTRACTING is family-owned and operated, led by Melodie Carter-Shaw and supported by her team who serve Williamsport, PA, the Central Pennsylvania region and beyond. Melodie began this company with her late husband Jamal Shaw who passed away in 2021. His legacy is honored, respected and carried on through the exceptional solutions that Melodie and her team provide. With love and dedication, the company understands the importance of completing every project with complete customer satisfaction and pride themselves on exceeding expectations.
The company has been built from slowly assembling a humble and reliable team of experts, as well as a steady stream of referrals from satisfied and returning customers. With hundreds of completed jobs ranging from small to large-scale, MANDS CONTRACTING has truly earned their reputation as one of Central Pennsylvania’s premiere contractors.
The focus always remains on providing excellent service and quality workmanship for all projects. From the start of estimating, through the rough construction phase, the company maintains full control — ensuring that every stage is adding value to the project. In the end, we deliver an enriching finished product.
