Built on Hometown Roots, Hard Work, and Complete Home Renovations Done Right
In a town like Columbia, the most trusted businesses aren’t the loudest — they’re the ones built over time through hard work, honesty, and doing right by your neighbors.
That’s the story behind Montgomery Design Build, Inc., a Columbia‑based full‑service home renovation company led by John, a lifelong tradesman whose roots in construction — and in our local community — run deep.
From a Farm Roof to a Full‑Service Home Renovation Business
John installed his first roof at just 14 years old, helping out on his family’s farm in York County, Pennsylvania. That early hands‑on experience sparked a lifelong path in the trades.
After completing a carpenter apprenticeship early in his adult life, John went on to spend many years in the building materials industry, gaining real‑world product knowledge across structural materials, finishes, and systems used throughout the home.
In 2008, John founded Montgomery Design Build, Inc. with a clear mission:
to serve homeowners the right way — through honest communication, accountability, and quality craftsmanship.
While roofing remains a core service, Montgomery Design Build has grown into a full‑service home renovation company, handling everything from exterior work to interior remodeling and complete home upgrades.
Doing Things the Right Way — On Purpose
John believes homeowners and property investors deserve a contractor who:
- Does what they say they’re going to do
- Communicates clearly
- Doesn’t cut corners
- Operates fully compliant with Pennsylvania Home Improvement Contractor (HIC) laws
Montgomery Design Build is properly licensed, insured, and fully documented — but beyond the paperwork, John runs his business on three core principles:
Respect. Trust. Keeping your promises.
His guiding philosophy is simple: peace of mind for the homeowner — from the first estimate to the final walkthrough.
A Columbia Connection That Runs Deep
Montgomery Design Build is based right here in Columbia, and John’s connection to the town goes well beyond business.
He is happily married to his wife, Michele Hinkle‑Evans, whose family has deep, multigenerational roots in Columbia, PA. Together, they enjoy life with their two rescue dogs, Skye and Star, a reminder of John’s patience, care, and commitment — qualities that also define how he works with homeowners.
More Than Roofing — Complete Home Renovations
While many neighbors first hear about Montgomery Design Build through roofing projects, the company offers comprehensive remodeling and renovation services, making them a trusted single point of contact for larger home improvements.
Services Include:
- Residential roofing (replacement, re‑roofing & repairs)
- Bathroom remodeling
- Kitchen remodeling
- Full‑service home renovations
- Siding, windows & entry doors
- Exterior and interior upgrades
For roofing projects, many jobs start around $425 per square, depending on materials and scope. For interior remodels and renovations, estimates are customized with transparency and clear expectations — no pressure, no confusion.
Homeowners work directly with John, not rotating sales staff, ensuring clear communication, accountability, and hands‑on oversight.
