North Philly homes we know
North Philadelphia is mostly brick rowhomes built from the late 1800s through the 1920s. Many have been vacant or lightly maintained for years, which makes them great value but means the work is often bigger than it looks:
- Roof leaks and water damage to joists and walls
- Outdated or unsafe electrical, plumbing and heating
- Structural repairs to rear walls, floors and stairs
- Homes that need a full gut rehab to pass inspection

North Philadelphia FAQs
Which North Philadelphia neighborhoods do you cover?
We work across North Philadelphia, including Brewerytown, Francisville, Yorktown, Strawberry Mansion and the surrounding blocks, as well as the rest of the city.
Can I buy a fixer-upper with a 203(k) loan?
Yes. An FHA 203(k) or HomeStyle loan lets you finance the purchase and the renovation together. We walk the house, write the scope and provide the itemized bid your lender and consultant need.
How do I know if a house needs a full gut rehab?
We look at the roof, structure, electrical, plumbing and heating during the walkthrough. If several of them need replacement, a full rehab is usually cheaper than fixing piece by piece.
Do you handle permits and inspections?
Yes. We file the permits with L&I and schedule and pass the required inspections.
