Adam Sherman

Owner, President, General Manager, Sales

Adam Sherman grew up traveling with his family from New England to Oregon, finally settling in Bucks County. After earning a degree in Physics from Albright College in Reading, Adam became an engineer and had a career working for several large corporations.

His entrepreneurial spirit and love of historic homes led Adam to invest in several properties on his own before he met Nick Walker in the 1980s. In 1989, they founded Cottage Industries, Inc together and, today, the firm maintains the philosophy and roots that has made it one of the most trusted and successful design/build companies in Philadelphia.

Nicholas Walker

Born and raised in the Main Line area with roots going back to the founding of the nation, Nick Walker graduated from Connecticut College with a degree in Fine Art and pursued a career in his field of passion, construction. Like Adam, Nick invested in many projects of his own before they founded Cottage Industries, Inc together.

We needed a "design and construction" company to completely redesign our kitchen while staying within the original footprint. We had many goals: to improve traffic flow and social space, maximize daylight, carve out a small mudroom with its own entrance, add a convenient ent

Carolyn Jaeger

We couldn't be happier with the projects Cottage Industries has completed on our 1920 Georgian Colonial Revival. Outstanding craftsmanship from a professional, polite, tidy and respectful crew. From big projects, like our detached garage/apartment and family room conversion,

We selected Cottage Industries as our design/build partner for a significant expansion of our 148 year old home including full kitchen transformation, extended footprint and 2+ story addition. Cottage Industries and the partners they brought to the table did a stellar job ma

I used Cottage to redo the kitchen and laundry room in my Turn of the (20th) Century house. It was also the house I grew up in, so it was an emotional process for me as well. Everyone at Cottage was professional yet understanding. The first thing they did was listen, and we

Alex Stanciu

In 2016 my wife and I embarked on a full house renovation of a 6100 sq ft, 1893 stone Victorian home. We interviewed several design and build firms and chose Cottage because they seemed to care as much about restoring the home as we did. Nick and Adam were very professional

Frank Chimera

Cottage Industries finished my basement exquisitely, which included a partially sunk endless pool and a decorative fireplace. They also did a thoroughly unique sun room for me. It included floor to ceiling glass and we use it daily. Adam always kept his word and the answer w
