In the heart of South Philly, a homeowner approached Noam Construction with a dream: transform a tight, aging kitchen into a bright and open culinary space — without sacrificing the historic charm of their 1920s rowhome. As a long-standing general contractor in Philadelphia, we know that renovations in older homes require both finesse and technical skill — especially when structure, plumbing, and code compliance come into play.
Our licensed team began by removing a load-bearing wall between the kitchen and dining area to create a more open floor plan. We installed a recessed steel beam to maintain the home’s structural integrity, while seamlessly integrating the new ceiling line to preserve visual continuity.
The new design featured:
- Soft-close shaker cabinets in a warm sage finish
- Matte black hardware for a clean, modern contrast
- A built-in pantry to maximize vertical storage
- Durable tile flooring designed to handle high foot traffic
Beyond aesthetics, this remodel tackled outdated electrical and plumbing lines. Our licensed contractors ensured that all new work met current Philadelphia building codes — a non-negotiable for peace of mind and long-term value.
Homeowners in Fishtown and Port Richmond have similar homes with untapped potential. This project is a reminder that with the right partner, even the oldest kitchens can be reborn into functional, beautiful spaces.
