Kitchen Remodeling in Glenolden, PA
Glenolden kitchens are often at the back of narrow homes with a door to the yard. A remodel can add a larger slider or window that connects the kitchen to a new deck. We handle the drawings, the local permits and the build, and price your project at a free on-site walkthrough.

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.
