In a city like Philadelphia, where many homes date back over 100 years, even a “simple” drywall job becomes a carefully calculated art form. At PHS General Contractor Philadelphia (Philly House Services), we specialize in home renovations for older properties across Brewerytown, West Philly, Germantown, and Fairmount—areas where history and modern living must coexist.
Our clients aren’t just upgrading for looks—they’re upgrading for safety, structure, and longevity. And it starts with the walls.
🧱 What Makes Drywall Repair in Philly So Different?
Old plaster, uneven framing, and moisture issues are common challenges in pre-war homes. Unlike new builds where everything is square and uniform, renovations in West Philly rowhomes require advanced technical expertise.
Our recent project in Fairmount involved replacing 1,000+ square feet of crumbling plaster with high-grade moisture-resistant drywall. We first reinforced the original framing, added fire-blocking for code compliance, and then applied a double-skim finish to ensure smooth, paint-ready surfaces.
Whether you’re converting a basement in Germantown into a livable unit or remodeling an upstairs kitchen in Brewerytown, poor drywall installation will make even the nicest finishes look second-rate. That’s why our team includes specialists—not just general contractors—who focus solely on wall integrity and interior polish.
🏡 Complete Home Renovations You Can Count On
We go beyond drywall. Our team of kitchen remodelers, painters, electricians, and flooring pros can handle every part of your renovation project. In West Philly, we recently gutted a duplex and delivered a complete transformation:
- 🧰 Custom kitchen with recessed lighting and stone backsplash
- 🧱 Full bathroom redesign with tile surrounds and new plumbing
- 🚪 Soundproof insulation between units
- 🎨 Smooth Level 5 drywall finish across both floors
The client—a first-time investor—was thrilled with the outcome, and the property was rented within 3 weeks.
✅ Why PHS Stands Out from the Rest
Many companies advertise home renovations, but few follow through on the details. Our clients often come to us after bad contractor experiences. Here’s what makes us different:
- We show up on time, every time
- Our drywall teams prep, hang, finish, and clean with precision
- All trades are licensed and coordinated under a single project manager
- We use digital daily updates (with photos) to keep you informed
- We work cleanly, protect your property, and stick to schedule
Whether you need a single room redone or a full-gut renovation, we bring trust, professionalism, and proven results to every job.
🏙️ We Know Philly Inside & Out
Homes in Brewerytown require different permit strategies than those in Germantown or Fairmount. That’s why we handle the entire process with the City of Philadelphia L&I so your project moves forward without red tape.
