Our High Five

Five Core Values. One DESCCO.

At DESCCO, we believe how we work is just as important as what we build.

Our company was founded in 1976 with a wheelbarrow and a dream, built on hard work, integrity, and a commitment to doing things the right way. As we continue to grow, those principles remain the foundation of our culture.

We call them Our High Five — five core values that guide our decisions, shape our relationships, and define what it means to be part of One DESCCO.

1. Build It Right

Take pride in what we do and own the outcome.

We believe excellence starts with preparation and ends with accountability. We set clear expectations, plan realistically, pay attention to the details, and take pride in delivering quality work. Whether we're building a project, solving a problem, or serving a customer, we approach every responsibility with care and professionalism. We don't pass problems along — we take ownership and finish strong.

2. Do What’s Right

Integrity isn't optional.

We believe in doing the right thing, even when it's difficult, inconvenient, or no one is watching. We are honest, keep our commitments, and take responsibility for our actions. When something isn't right, we speak up and work to make it right. We value long-term relationships and trust over short-term gains.

3. Learn and Improve

Never stop getting better.

We believe there is always an opportunity to learn, grow, and improve. We ask questions, welcome feedback, embrace new ideas, and challenge ourselves to find better ways of doing things. Mistakes are opportunities to learn, not excuses to stop trying. From developing our people to improving our processes, we are committed to getting a little better every day.

4. Have Each Other’s Backs

One team. One mission. One DESCCO.

We believe our greatest strength is our people working together. We show up ready to contribute, communicate openly, and support one another. We look out for each other's safety, share knowledge, and step in when someone needs help. We celebrate successes together and work through challenges as a team. No one succeeds alone, and every role matters.

5. Respect the Job, Respect the People

Treat people right. Take pride in everything we do.

We believe everyone deserves to be treated with dignity, fairness, and respect — regardless of their role or position. We listen, communicate professionally, and value the contributions of others. We respect our customers, coworkers, trade partners, and communities. We also demonstrate respect through safe practices, organized workspaces, and the way we represent DESCCO every day.

More Than Words

Our High Five isn't just a statement on a wall. These values guide how we hire, develop, recognize, and evaluate our people. They influence the decisions we make, the relationships we build, and the standards we hold ourselves accountable to.

As DESCCO grows, our commitment remains the same: build it right, do what's right, keep improving, have each other's backs, and treat people with respect.

One DESCCO. One Mission. Building a lasting impact.

Customer Reviews

What Our Customers Are Saying

A BIG THANK YOU to Nick Stoltzfus and the DESCCO team for the amazing work done on the New Galena Road Bridge replacement project in New Britain Township! There were a few hitches during the course of the project, through no fault of their own, and your company was able to maintain efficiency and stay on schedule, a high priority for the municipality. We were very impressed with the high-quality workmanship, high level of professionalism, competent oversight, and very much hope to work with you again in the future.

JANENE MARCHAND

Gilmore Associates

I wanted to thank you and your team again for the excellent job that you did on our church renovation. From yourself, to estimating, contracts, project management, and of course the workers on site, everyone was professional, cooperative, and the work was excellent. Our comment that was repeated over and over again by our people was how neat you left the worksite at the end of every workday and especially at the weekend.

BOB HESS

Crossway Church

DESCCO provided exceptional pre-construction planning, coordination, and collaboration with other trades in order to meet the challenging schedule and complete construction in time for our open house. Safety barriers, walls, and walkways were provided by DESCCO to ensure the safety of my staff at all times. The renovated office space looks great! I look forward to working with DESCCO Design & Construction on future projects.

Throughout our project, DESCCO was a pleasure to work with. The project manager was consistently professional and proactive in identifying potential conflicts and issues that could delay our completion and startup of new processes. I would recommend DESCCO to other municipal wastewater utilities.
