In Germantown, historic homes offer charm and character—but they often need serious upgrades to match modern standards. PHS General Contractor Philadelphia recently completed a full-home renovation on a three-bedroom row house, tackling structural repairs, outdated finishes, and inefficient layout. The goal? Bring light, flow, and functionality to a beloved family home while preserving its original style.
The kitchen renovation involved removing a dividing wall to create an open concept with a spacious island and bar seating. Quartz countertops, energy-efficient appliances, and custom shaker cabinets were installed. We reworked the electrical panel and plumbing lines to bring everything up to code. Upstairs, we redesigned a narrow hallway bathroom into a spa-like retreat featuring a walk-in shower, dual vanity, and updated lighting.
Throughout the house, damaged drywall and uneven flooring were replaced, walls were re-insulated, and we upgraded all windows to energy-efficient models. For homes in West Philly, Fairmount, and Brewerytown, this kind of top-to-bottom remodel ensures comfort and efficiency while protecting long-term value.
Homeowners often ask how to approach a whole-home renovation. Our answer: start with a vision, define your goals, and work with a licensed contractor who can manage every phase—from permits to paint.
