  • Why Hiring a Licensed General Contractor in Philadelphia Protects Your Investment

When searching for a general contractor in Philadelphia, homeowners often face one big question: Why hire a licensed contractor instead of going with the cheapest bid? At Noam Construction, we’ve seen the difference firsthand in projects across South Philly, Fishtown, Queen Village, and Port Richmond. Licensed contractors are required to meet city standards, carry insurance, and ensure all work passes inspections. This means your kitchen remodel or full renovation won’t run into costly delays from code violations.

In Fishtown, one homeowner tried to save money with an unlicensed handyman for a kitchen remodel. Unfortunately, improper electrical work led to a failed inspection and thousands in rework. When our team stepped in, we not only brought everything up to code but also upgraded the design with quartz countertops, modern lighting, and a peninsula perfect for entertaining.

In Queen Village, we recently completed a project where our licensed team opened up a galley kitchen to create a more functional layout. Beyond design, we ensured that plumbing and electrical upgrades aligned with city permits, guaranteeing long-term peace of mind.
