Renovation & Remodeling Done Right in Philadelphia
A Philadelphia gut renovation is really two projects: the one you can see — kitchens, baths, floors, finishes — and the one behind the walls, where a century of knob-and-tube wiring, galvanized plumbing, and settled framing waits. We've opened up enough Philly rowhomes to quote both halves realistically, which is why our projects finish near the number they started at.
From single-room remodels to full-house transformations, we handle demolition, structural changes, all mechanical systems, and every finish trade under one contract — minimizing the time your life is disrupted and maximizing the value added to your home.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a gut renovation cost in Philadelphia?
A full gut of a typical 1,200–1,600 sq ft rowhouse — new electrical, plumbing, HVAC, kitchen, baths, and finishes — generally lands in the low-to-mid six figures depending on finish level and structural changes. We provide detailed line-item estimates after an in-home assessment so you can tune scope to budget.
Can I live in my house during the renovation?
For single-room and phased projects, usually yes. For full gut renovations, no — there's no water, power, or dust-free space for weeks at a time. We'll tell you honestly which category your project falls into before you commit.
How long does a whole-home renovation take?
Anywhere from 2 weeks for a single-space remodel to 6 months for a full gut renovation. Permits, structural work, and material lead times drive the schedule; we map it in writing before demolition starts.
Do you handle all the permits?
Yes — Philadelphia L&I permits for structural, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical work, plus township permits in the suburbs and Historical Commission coordination where applicable.
