When planning a renovation in older neighborhoods like Brewerytown, Germantown, or West Philly, it’s important to avoid common mistakes that cost time and money. At PHS General Contractor Philadelphia, we’ve seen it all—so here are three renovation missteps you should sidestep:
- Skipping Professional Drywall Repair – Many homeowners try DIY patches, but improperly finished drywall can lead to uneven walls and visible seams. Our team uses proper taping, mudding, and sanding techniques to create a flawless finish.
- Overlooking Building Code Requirements – From kitchen remodels to basement updates, city code compliance is essential. We’re licensed and experienced in pulling permits, handling inspections, and ensuring all work meets Philadelphia standards.
- Choosing Aesthetics Over Function – That trendy open-concept may look great, but if it weakens structural integrity or reduces storage, it can be a mistake. Our home renovation experts prioritize functionality with style.
