Lancaster Door Service (LDS) was recently featured on the Lancaster Connects podcast and video series in an episode titled “Opening Doors in Lancaster: The Story of Lancaster Door Service – Pete Rothacker & Greg Mavraganis.” Owners Pete Rothacker and Greg Mavraganis sat down to share how a decades-strong local company keeps earning trust with honest work, quality craftsmanship, and reliable support across Lancaster County.

Founded in 1996, LDS has grown into a go-to team for Residential Garage Doors, Replacement Windows, and Entry Doors—from new installations to expert repairs. In the interview, Pete, a Lancaster native and Penn State alum, reflects on the company’s roots and customer-first philosophy. Greg, a seasoned business advisor and former corporate leader, explains how a self-funded search led him and Pete to acquire Lancaster Door Service in 2023, and how they’re building on LDS’s legacy with disciplined operations and thoughtful growth.

Highlights from the conversation

  • A Lancaster original: Why being locally owned and operated matters—and how LDS’s reputation was built one service call at a time.
  • Craftsmanship without shortcuts: The team’s approach to product selection, installations, safety, and long-term reliability.
  • From corporate to Main Street: Greg’s path from valuation and acquisitions to hands-on small business ownership with Pete.
  • Service that stands behind the work: How LDS balances responsiveness, fair pricing, and clear communication for homeowners and businesses.
  • What’s next for LDS: Training, technology, and process improvements designed to elevate the customer experience.
