Make-A-Wish - Isaiah Shorter Project
As special “Wish kid,” 15-year old Isaiah Shorter, from Columbia, PA had been through so much in the few years since his brain cancer diagnosis. He comes from a wonderful family of 8 and loves spending time with them and his friends, which brought him to his wish … a new “man cave.”
Isaiah wanted a place where he could get away from it all and play video games, watch tv, hangout with family and friends and just enjoy being a teenager. He wanted his man cave to be elevated on stilts, an idea he found on the show Treehouse Masters.
Ames enlisted the help of many of their sub-contractors and vendors alike to help make this wish become a reality. We were overwhelmed by their response and are so grateful for everyone’s help! We couldn’t have done this on our own.
Thank you to our partners/suppliers:
Eby Exteriors Inc., Beacon Roofing Supply- Harrisburg, Wolf Home Products, Musselman Lumber, Techno Metal Post of South Central PA LLC, MVE Group

I’ve had the pleasure to work with Ames Construction on two of our past projects at College Row, Franklin & Marshall College, in addition to projects for Lancaster General Hospital, and Chester County Medical Office Building. Ames effectively supplied materials, equipment, supervision, and labor to execute both HVAC and Plumbing packages. Projects were completed on time and under budget. Ames had projects adequately staffed throughout the project durations, and worked with us closely using a team approach to problem solving which involved coordination with other trades.
