When a family in Queen Village reached out to us wanting better functionality without sacrificing their home’s vintage character, our team at Noam Construction rolled up its sleeves. As a licensed contractor and trusted general contractor in Philadelphia, we managed everything from conceptual design to final touch-ups—transforming a cramped, outdated kitchen into a welcoming space built for modern living.
This renovation embraced the unique features of their South Philly row home: the exposed brick wall near the eating nook remains untouched, while the old parquet flooring elsewhere was refined and matched with new wide-plank hardwood. We replaced upper cabinets with open shelving, installed quartz countertops, and added custom under-cabinet LED lighting for task clarity and a warm evening glow. A reconfigured breakfast bar with handcrafted storage below completed the sleek remodel.
To ensure full compliance, we pulled building, electrical, and plumbing permits through the City of Philadelphia’s Department of Licenses & Inspections using the eCLIPSE portal—the same portal described by the City’s L&I department for permit submissions noamconstructionphiladelphia.comphila.gov+11phila.gov+11permitflow.com+11. This process meant the work adhered to the latest codes and inspections, avoiding delays or compliance issues.
