Design-Build in Drexel Hill, PA
Drexel Hill projects go through Upper Darby Township, and most start on a small lot with a twin or colonial. We draw the plan around the township's setbacks and the shared wall before anything is priced. We handle the drawings, the local permits and the build, and price your project at a free on-site walkthrough.

Our Drexel Hill invoices include two full bathroom remodels, a kitchen window replacement, new attic stairs, and heating and cooling service. These are the kinds of jobs a neighborhood contractor should be doing, and because the shop is a few minutes away we can take on a one-day repair as readily as a full remodel.
