Lincoln Built is named after Jonny and Jodie Gelnett’s son, J. Lincoln.
When Jonny found out he was going to be a father, he made a decision: build something worth being proud of. Something his family could rely on, and that his son could one day look back at and say — that’s what my dad built.
Before starting the company in 2021, Jonny traveled to Peru to help rebuild a family home. That trip changed the way he thought about construction. A well-built structure doesn’t just improve a property — it changes the way a family lives in it. He brought that belief home to Central Pennsylvania and has carried it into every project since.
Most contractors make you wait days for a quote. Our pricing is right on the website — because your time matters and there's nothing to hide.
Every custom shed Lincoln Built constructs is built directly on your property — not prefabricated in a factory and dropped in your yard. That means it fits your space, matches your home, and lasts for decades.
Live in a community with restrictions? We've been through the HOA process more times than we can count. We know exactly what documentation boards need, and we handle it on your behalf.
Your yard is protected throughout the build, with careful work and a clean finish that leaves your space looking better than before.
Every structure Lincoln Built puts up is built to last, priced fairly, and backed by a contractor who stands behind his work. That’s not a tagline — it’s just how Jonny does business.
We’re not the biggest outdoor living company in Pennsylvania, and we don’t try to be. What we are is a company that genuinely cares about your home, shows up when we say we will, and builds something you’re proud to have in your yard.
