We renovate Philadelphia rowhomes top to bottom
Renovating a whole rowhome is a specific kind of job: narrow stairs, shared walls, a damp basement, one way in and out. We finished one in South Philadelphia in 2025 and we take on more.

What a rowhome needs
The whole house, in the right order
In a rowhome everything is connected: the staircase sets the layout, the kitchen sits against the party wall, the only bathroom is on the second floor and the basement decides where the plumbing can go. We plan the sequence first, then demo.
On the 2025 project we rebuilt the staircase with new stringers, oak treads and iron balusters, installed a new kitchen and two bathrooms, ran LVP across the living floors, finished the basement, replaced the windows and front door and built a cedar-fenced patio out back.

Philadelphia: questions people ask
Do you take small jobs in Philadelphia?
No. Philadelphia is about an hour and forty-five minutes from our shop in Myerstown, so we only take whole-home or multi-room renovations there, where the crew is on site for weeks or months.
How long did the South Philadelphia project take?
Demolition started in April 2025 and the house was finished in August 2025, about four and a half months, including a rebuilt staircase, kitchen, two bathrooms, basement, floors, windows and the back patio.
Do you pull Philadelphia permits?
Yes. Licensed trades handle the electrical and plumbing permits and inspections, and we coordinate the building permit for structural and layout work.
Can the house stay empty while you work?
For a whole-house renovation it should. We lock up every night, protect the front and keep the sidewalk clear.
Free estimate
Have a rowhome that needs everything?
Send a few lines or call. We will set a time to walk through the house and you will have a written, itemized estimate a few days later.
