If you’ve ever walked through a classic rowhome in Port Richmond, you know the challenge: narrow galley kitchens, outdated cabinets, and poor lighting. That’s exactly what our recent client was facing when they called Noam Construction, a fully licensed general contractor in Philadelphia, to tackle a full kitchen transformation.
The homeowner wanted more than just a cosmetic upgrade — they needed functionality, flow, and a space that matched their modern lifestyle without sacrificing the charm of their older home.
We began by removing the load-bearing wall between the kitchen and dining area to open up the first floor. Using engineered beams and city-permitted plans (in compliance with Philadelphia L&I guidelines), we ensured structural safety while creating an airy, open-concept layout.
From there, we installed:
- Custom-built cabinetry with soft-close drawers
- Quartz countertops with a waterfall edge
- A subway tile backsplash in a matte finish
- Upgraded recessed and under-cabinet lighting for layered brightness
- High-efficiency appliances with smart home connectivity
The result? A bright, modern kitchen that feels twice as large and far more livable. The client was especially thrilled with how the new layout supports both casual cooking and weekend entertaining.
Our team also handled plumbing upgrades, electrical rewiring, and all finishing work — proving again why we’re one of the most trusted names in kitchen remodels across Queen Village, Fishtown, and South Philly.
💡 Pro Tip: If you’re opening up walls or relocating appliances, always work with a licensed contractor familiar with local building codes. It protects your investment and speeds up inspections. Learn more here:
