C.E. Rensberger & Family Construction
Rooted in a tradition that dates back to the early 20th century, C.E. Rensberger & Family LLC serves Woodsboro, Maryland, and the broader Frederick County area. The company’s origins trace to Charles Earl Rensberger, who began building homes and post offices in Indiana and Florida, instilling Mennonite carpentry values that continue to guide the business today. Successive generations have carried on the family’s construction legacy, with the Rensberger name now established in Maryland since 1982. Specializing in residential home building, the firm draws on methods and values handed down through four generations. Their experience spans new home construction and framing, with an emphasis on durable craftsmanship influenced by Swiss and German building heritage. C.E. Rensberger & Family LLC works year-round to deliver homes tailored to the needs of Maryland property owners.

I would definitely recommend C.E. Rensberger. Having build 5 different homes in the past, I can attest to the fact that their quality and service is way above anything I have experienced before. They are also a full custom builder while you are not paying full custom prices! The attention to detail and extra features that they were able to put into our home makes it exactly what we were looking and everyone on their team was amazing.
