Williamsport contractor wins second consecutive Nextdoor Fave Award

Williamsport, Pa. — Montana Specialties Construction , a Williamsport-based general contractor, has been named a Nextdoor Fave Awards winner for 2026, its second consecutive year of recognition from the neighborhood app. The company serves homeowners and businesses across Lycoming County and surrounding areas, handling bathroom and kitchen remodeling, decks, flooring, additions, repairs, grading and excavation, interior finishing, and framing. “I’ve been at this over 30 years, and this one means a lot because it came from my neighbors, not from a panel. People here voted for the work we did in their homes. I’m grateful to every customer who took the time, and we’ll keep showing up and doing it right,” said Michael “Montana Mike” Manifold, owner of Montana Specialties Construction. Neighbors voted for winners from Sept. 9 to Sept. 30,. Winners were chosen from nearly 6.6 million businesses on the app, based on Faves and votes from more than 110 million verified neighbors. “Every vote in this year’s awards comes from a real, verified neighbor, not a star rating or an algorithm,” said Nirav Tolia, Nextdoor co-founder and CEO. “That’s what makes winning a Fave Award mean something: your community chose you.” Winners receive more visibility on the Nextdoor

Affordability isn’t a talking point — it’s real life

For most of my life, I haven’t looked at the economy through a government report or from behind a desk in Harrisburg.
