Full House Renovation in Philadelphia, PA
A whole-house renovation is really a sequencing problem. Demo, structure, mechanical rough-in, inspections, insulation, drywall, then finishes — in that order, with every trade showing up when the previous one is actually done. That is what we manage.
We take on gut renovations of row homes, full updates before a move-in, and property renovations for owners who need the work priced honestly and finished on a schedule.
What a Full Renovation Covers
Demolition and Strip-Out
Controlled removal of finishes, and sometimes framing, with debris handling and site protection.
Structural Corrections
Repairing joists, headers, stairs and rear walls that older homes commonly need once opened up.
New Mechanicals
Plumbing, HVAC and electrical rough-in sized for how the house will actually be used.
Kitchens and Baths
Complete new kitchens and bathrooms rather than working around aging fixtures.
Flooring Throughout
Consistent flooring across levels, with subfloor leveling and repairs before installation.
Full Finish Package
Drywall, trim, doors, paint, lighting and hardware to bring the house to move-in condition.
How We Run a Gut Renovation
- Step 1
Walkthrough and Scope
Room-by-room review of what stays, what goes and what is likely hiding behind the plaster.
- Step 2
Budget and Phasing
A written scope, and where budget requires it, a phasing plan that protects the critical work first.
- Step 3
Rough-In and Inspections
Structure and mechanicals completed and inspected before anything is covered.
- Step 4
Finish and Handover
Finishes installed in sequence, then a detailed punch list and final clean.
Renovating Philadelphia Row Homes
Row home gut jobs usually surface the same issues: original knob-and-tube remnants, galvanized supply lines, undersized rear framing, and a roof or party wall that has been leaking quietly for years. Budgeting for those from the start is what keeps a renovation from stalling halfway.
We also handle whole-home updates in Jenkintown, Elkins Park and Glenside where the structure is sound but every system and finish is original to the house.
