EDA CONTRACTORS, INC.

Company culture is important in every industry, but in construction where there are increased rates of injury, addiction, and turnover, it should be even more important. Unfortunately, this is seldom the case. At EDA Contractors, we don’t just emphasize the importance of culture in the workplace, we live it in everything we do. This starts with our promise of being successful together and extends to each of our values. #workplaceculture #culture #contractors

Our #Duckumentary spotlight is here once again and today we are featuring: me, Gabe Shertz! As EDA’s Social Media Coordinator, I am in charge of managing EDA’s social channels, finding new and innovative ways to feature the incredible work our team does every day. It’s important to me that EDA’s online presence reflects the values of hard work, collaboration and growth. As a communicator, honesty and transparency are tantamount for me, whether it’s at work or in my personal life. When I’m not behind a screen planning posts, you’ll probably find me in the stands at a Philadelphia Union game, repping the Sons of Ben and cheering loud. Check out the link in the comments for this week’s #Duckumentary to learn a little more about me and what I do here at EDA!

Ed DeAngelis recently joined the General Building Contractors Association (GBCA) for their Coffee Chat Q & A, sharing how construction changed his life and why it continues to be an industry full of opportunity for those willing to bring their best. Hard work, vision, and the drive to grow as a person, regardless of where you start, will be rewarded in any industry. Take a listen to Ed speak about his advice for young professionals looking to stand out and how his pivot into the construction industry made him the leader he is today. 

We are proud to share that EDA Contractors and Heroic Gardens have received the Partners in Philanthropy Award from Philadelphia Business Journal! One of 25 Philadelphia philanthropic partnerships recognized, the publication highlights the impactful partnership that businesses and nonprofits can have in the community. Thank you to both PBJ and Heroic Gardens! We are grateful to work with such an amazing organization to make a difference in the lives of veterans in our community.

#FieldFriday is here once again and today we pay a visit to Drexel University's Stiles Hall! Located in the heart of Center City, EDA Glaziers are in the process of installing glass doors and windows to the entryway while a roofing crew installs a TPO system and metal coping to the exterior. Great work from our roofers and glaziers on site!

Spring has sprung and it’s time to start preparing for the shift in seasons. Warmer weather brings heavy rains, and potential drainage issues that can impact your building’s performance. Get ahead of spring showers by ensuring your building is properly maintained and protected. Learn more about how EDA can help you prepare for the rainy season ahead: https://hubs.la/Q03ggVlZ0

Great work by the Reboot Contractors, LLC team and their Academy Members! Amazing job taking the extra time to make a difference in the community!

EDA Cares is an initiative aimed at uniting our community through giving back, and empowering employees to support causes that matter to them. One partnership that continues to thrive here at EDA is our collaboration with Heroic Gardens, an organization dedicated to connecting veterans to healing through gardening and horticulture. In 2024, over 20 EDA employee volunteers dedicated 197 hours to Heroic Gardens’ mission. As the title recipient of the 2024 EDA Cares Charity Golf Outing, Heroic Gardens received over $23,000 to support initiatives like gardening classes for veterans and their caregivers, and a workforce development program where veterans will manage a U-Pick Sunflower Field opening in July 2025. We’re proud to continue supporting organizations like Heroic Gardens and their impactful work in our communities. Read more about our partnership with Heroic Gardens here: https://hubs.la/Q03fQVds0

"Construction for ALL": Inspiring the Next Generation of Carpenters - We were honored to be invited by Hill Freedman World Academy to attend their career fair. It was an incredible opportunity to speak with nearly 100 students about the pathway to joining the Carpenters Union. Our team provided a step-by-step guide on how to enter the union, explored the materials we use daily, and shared what life can be like in one of the most rewarding industries! From building some of the city’s most iconic landmarks to careers in estimating and accounting, the possibilities in this industry are limitless.
