Northeast Philly homes we know
Most of the Northeast was built between the 1920s and 1960s: brick rowhomes with front porches and finished basements in Mayfair and Oxford Circle, twins and singles further out in Fox Chase and Bustleton. That age shows up in the same places every time:
- Basements with old paneling, damp walls and tired sump pits
- Kitchens and baths that have not been touched since the 1970s or 80s
- Electrical on 60–100 amp service with too few circuits
- Rear porches and flat roofs that need rebuilding
Popular projects in the Northeast
- Kitchen remodeling, often opening the kitchen to the dining room
- Bathroom remodeling and tub-to-shower conversions
- Basement finishing and waterproofing
- Rear additions and second or third floors
- Whole-home renovations for buyers and estates
- 203(k) renovations for first-time buyers

What projects do you do most in the Northeast?

Do I need a permit for my renovation?
Work that changes structure, plumbing, electrical or mechanical systems generally needs a Philadelphia L&I permit. We prepare the drawings, pull the permits and meet the inspectors.

Yes. Many Northeast rowhomes are good 203(k) candidates. We write lender-ready bids and follow the draw schedule.
