Blakeslee's got a quirk most of our other towns don't: it straddles the line between Monroe and Carbon Counties. Depending on exactly where your property sits, you could be dealing with two completely different county offices, two different township contacts, and potentially two different permit processes for what looks like the same neighborhood.
Why that matters more than it sounds like it should
We've seen it trip people up: a homeowner assumes their neighbor's permit process applies to them too, only to find out they're actually in the other county. Before we ever talk building style, we'll help you nail down exactly which county and township your parcel falls under, because that determines who signs off on the project, not us.
On the Monroe County side, expect Tunkhannock Township involvement; cross into the Carbon County portion and it's Kidder Township instead. Confirm directly, since we're not the final word on either office's current rules, just the crew that's dealt with both.
What gets built here
Blakeslee's a resort-adjacent, rural-fringe area, which means we see a fairly even split between garages for the second-home and weekend-property crowd and pole barns for the folks with more acreage who want general storage or a workshop. We build both in steel — the terrain doesn't push you hard toward one layout or the other the way a mountainside lot might.
The drive
Blakeslee's one of our longer trips — call it thirty-five minutes from the shop. Still inside a realistic service radius, and still a drive, not a flight.
