Home Renovations in Drexel Hill, PA
Drexel Hill's interwar twins and colonials have plaster walls, cast-iron drains and wiring added to over decades. We open up and assess before committing to a layout, so surprises are priced before the job starts. We handle the drawings, the local permits and the build, and price your project at a free on-site walkthrough.
Build your estimateHome renovations for Drexel Hill homes
Drexel Hill is mostly 1920s–1940s stone and brick twins, colonials and Tudors on small lots.
- Party walls on twins protected and kept fire-rated through demolition and rebuild.
- Old plaster, drains and wiring replaced in the same project instead of patched later.
What affects projects in Drexel Hill
- Many Drexel Hill homes are twins, so party walls are protected and kept fire-rated through the work.
- Small lots and narrow driveways limit equipment access and dumpster placement.
Work we've done in Drexel Hill
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.
