Our History

Russell W. Decker New Home Construction was established in 1987. As a young man, I grew up working for my father in his professional landscaping and excavating business learning the art of working with the land as well as heavy equipment operation.  In 1976, I graduated from the Pennsylvania State University with a degree in Highway Engineering Technology and Surveying. After college, I continued in business with my father Eugene. In 1987, we developed the Fawnwood Heights residential subdivision on Scranton’s West Mountain; that’s where my building career began.  Several years later, we developed Laurel Highland Estates in South Abington Township.

Over the past 26 years, I have had the opportunity to work with many skilled craftsman, constantly learning new and improved techniques as new and innovative building materials and components have evolved throughout the residential construction industry.  With over 120 completed custom homes and equally as many satisfied customers, I can say with total confidence that your dream home will not just meet all of your expectations, but will exceed them.  My good name and reputation depend on it!

Proverbs 24:3   By wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established. NIV
