Bathroom Remodeling in Glenolden, PA
Bathrooms in Glenolden's older singles and twins usually need the floor, drains and ventilation redone, not just new tile. We price that in from the first visit. We handle the drawings, the local permits and the build, and price your project at a free on-site walkthrough.

Glenolden has early 1900s through 1950s singles and twins on narrow borough lots.
- Subfloors stiffened before tile so it doesn't crack later.
- Tub-to-shower conversions sized for small borough baths.
What affects projects in Glenolden

Work we've done in Glenolden
In Glenolden we have restored a basement and built a 15 by 16 foot second-story composite deck with a new sliding door to reach it. Next door in Folcroft we built a deck with a roof over it. Elevated and covered decks on small lots are a common request here.
