our History

From a small PLASTERING company 

to a DIVERSE specialty contractor


Our company was founded in 1928 by James Dewalt Novinger (1894 to 1980) in Harrisburg Pennsylvania. James adapted his interest in woodworking to applying wooden lath for plastering projects. As the demand for plastering began to decline, the company switched to hanging and finishing drywall. The company remained small until it began to bid on larger commercial projects. Additional specialties were added as regional needs changed.

Our founder probably did not envision the large, comprehensive subcontracting business that Novinger’s Inc has become, but he would recognize with pride how his commitment to quality is reflected in the successful company that is now his legacy.

Our current President is James David Novinger, the grandson of the founder. Although methods and materials have changed over the years, the Novinger’s Inc approach remains the same. We strive to deliver customer satisfaction by delivering exceptional quality and by paying attention to detail. 

For nine decades and counting, you can still call on Jim Novinger’s company to exceed customer expectations.
