Breathing New Life Into Philadelphia Homes
Philadelphia’s rowhouses have stood for generations, but many need thoughtful updates to meet today’s standards. Recently, our crew at PHS General Contractor Philadelphia transformed a dated Brewerytown property into a modern living space with a full kitchen remodel, drywall repair, and custom flooring. The homeowner wanted to keep the original exposed brick wall while adding sleek cabinetry and durable quartz counters. The final result respected the home’s historic character while providing a fresh, functional design.
Unique Challenges in West Philly & Germantown
Unlike newer suburbs, many West Philly and Germantown homes were built over a century ago. That means plaster cracks, uneven walls, and aging layouts are common. Our drywall repair services smooth out imperfections, while our renovation team reimagines kitchens and bathrooms to better suit today’s lifestyles. In Fairmount, for example, narrow rowhouse kitchens benefit from open-concept redesigns, allowing more natural light and improved flow between spaces.

Seasonal Insight: Why Fall is Best
Autumn is one of the smartest times to begin a renovation. With cooler weather, there’s less humidity impacting drywall installation or paint curing. Plus, completing projects before winter means you can enjoy holiday gatherings in a refreshed space.
