Pennsylvania Builders Association names Greg Harris to lead in 2026

Harrisburg, PA — Greg Harris of the Home Builders Association of Metropolitan Harrisburg has officially assumed the office of president of the Pennsylvania Builders Association (PBA) for 2026.

Harris brings a lifetime of construction experience to the role. Growing up in a family deeply rooted in the building industry, he worked alongside his parents in their remodeling business before launching his own company.

On January 31, 2003, Harris founded G.P. Harris Construction, Inc., headquartered in Jonestown, PA, where he serves as president. The company provides full-service remodeling, including additions, whole-house renovations, and kitchen and bathroom projects. While the business initially employed five to seven workers, Harris shifted to a model relying on trade partners while remaining the sole employee.

Harris’s involvement in the building community spans decades. He began with the Lebanon County Builders Association before transitioning to the Home Builders Association of Metropolitan Harrisburg, where he also served as president. At the state level, Harris has held terms as PBA secretary and vice president, playing an active role in strategic planning, budgeting, and guiding the organization’s future direction.

Looking ahead to 2026, Harris’s main goal as president is to unite members across Pennsylvania, fostering collaboration and alignment within the association.

“To accomplish that, we must work together as a team,” Harris said.

He emphasizes the importance of membership in both local HBAs and the PBA, noting the impact collective involvement can have on advocating for the building industry.

“The more people we have involved in their local HBAs and in PBA, the more influence we can have on Harrisburg and Washington to help stop overregulation,” Harris said. “A rising tide lifts all the boats.”

Outside of work, Harris enjoys spending time with his wife, Beth, their four children, and two grandchildren. An avid outdoorsman, he enjoys hunting, fishing, hiking, biking, camping, and floating, with Cedar Run, PA, being a favorite family retreat.

Greg Harris will be officially sworn in at the PBA Installation Gala on Friday, March 13, 2026, at The Hotel Hershey.
