Our Story: Built on Integrity, Crafted with Pride

Ken and Jennifer Hanlin are the owners of Olde School Construction, Inc., a small, family-run construction company based in Adams County, Pennsylvania. After years of experience and many hours of prayer, the husband-and-wife team founded the company together.


Born and raised in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Ken Hanlin has worked in construction throughout his entire career. Early on, he was fortunate to work for a company that instilled in him the importance of quality craftsmanship while giving him broad, hands-on experience in every stage of construction - from pouring foundation footers and job-site cleanup to installing the finishing trim.

Ken's extensive background in the building industry includes 30 years of constructing high-end custom homes in some of Central Pennsylvania's most distinguished developments. With more than 40 years of residential carpentry experience, he has developed a comprehensive range of skills and deep knowledge of his craft.In June 2008, Ken made the decision to pursue his lifelong dream of owning his own business—a company built on integrity, craftsmanship, and the values that have guided him throughout his career. From that vision, Olde School Construction, Inc. was born.
