When the owner of a 1920s Queen Village rowhome reached out to Noam Construction, they had one goal: bring their dated galley kitchen into the modern era without losing the home’s historic charm. As a top-rated general contractor in Philadelphia, we were excited to take on this unique project.
Our client wanted more storage, improved lighting, and an open concept that flowed into their dining area. First, we collaborated with them on a detailed kitchen remodel design, ensuring the project aligned with both the homeowner’s vision and Philly’s strict permitting standards. As a fully licensed contractor, we handled all necessary approvals with the city.
Once demolition was complete, we reconfigured plumbing and electrical to support an oversized kitchen island — a key design element. We installed handcrafted shaker cabinetry, quartz countertops, and a stunning herringbone tile backsplash that honored the home’s vintage vibe. Pendant lighting completed the transformation, casting a warm glow throughout the open space.
Along the way, we encountered an unexpected challenge: old joists under the floor had sagged over time. Our structural team reinforced the subfloor to ensure long-term durability. It’s this kind of expertise that sets Noam Construction apart — we anticipate, address, and resolve issues seamlessly.
The project wrapped on time and on budget. The client was thrilled: “It feels like we gained an entirely new floor of our home. Noam Construction handled every detail with care.”
