In neighborhoods like Germantown and Fairmount, many homes still feature original construction dating back 100+ years. While that charm is part of what makes these properties so desirable, it can also lead to costly surprises — especially when it comes to drywall.
At PHS General Contractor Philadelphia, we specialize in home renovations that preserve character while solving long-term issues. Uneven framing, plaster over lathe, and poorly patched walls from prior repairs are common in West Philly rowhomes and Brewerytown townhouses. Proper drywall repair is more than just cosmetic — it’s essential for insulation, fire safety, and structural integrity.
We’re frequently called to fix rushed renovations done without permits or oversight. As a fully licensed kitchen remodeler and general contractor, we inspect each wall system before beginning any work. We also help homeowners identify potential lead-based paint or asbestos risks, especially in older properties. Learn more about those hazards from the EPA’s Renovation, Repair and Painting Program.
PHS handles every detail: moisture control, framing, fire-rated materials, and expert taping and sanding to deliver a finish that lasts. Our drywall work blends seamlessly with even the most detailed molding or crown finishes — perfect for older Philly homes.
🛠️ Whether you’re planning a kitchen remodel or restoring a damaged wall from past leaks or electrical upgrades, trust our team to do it right the first time.
