Superb Home Remodeling handles home remodeling in Langhorne, PA — kitchens, bathrooms, basements and additions, on houses that in the borough itself are frequently a century or more old. We are a licensed general contractor and we carry the permit and the inspections for you.
Two Langhornes, and it changes your permit
Langhorne Borough is small — about 1,657 residents and 592 housing units. The 19047 mailing address, however, covers a much larger area of Middletown Township. Which municipality issues your permit depends on the parcel, not the envelope, and the two offices run different processes. We check the jurisdiction before filing.
Langhorne Borough: Building and Zoning, 114 East Maple Avenue, Langhorne, PA 19047, 215-757-3768. Permits are required for demolition, new construction, additions, renovations and alterations, decks, pools, driveways, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, roof replacement, finished basements and gas fireplace inserts. In-kind kitchen and bath remodels that change no layout or plumbing, along with painting, flooring and vinyl siding, are exempt.
Middletown Township (for Langhorne addresses outside the borough): Building & Zoning, 3 Municipal Way, Langhorne, PA 19047, 215-750-3800.
Old houses, and what that means for the work
The Langhorne Historic District was listed on the National Register in 1986 and takes in 252 contributing buildings put up between 1738 and 1937 — mostly 1850 to 1937 — in vernacular Federal, Late Victorian and Bungalow/Craftsman styles. On houses of that age we plan for what is actually behind the plaster: knob-and-tube remnants, balloon framing, out-of-level floors, and bathrooms that were cut into bedrooms long after the house was built. Median owner-occupied value in the borough is $446,500 against a median household income of $101,131, and the projects reflect that — careful kitchen and bath work in houses people intend to keep.

Questions Langhorne homeowners ask
Do I need a permit for a straight kitchen replacement?
In the borough, an in-kind remodel that moves no walls and no plumbing is exempt. The moment the layout, plumbing or electrical changes, it is permitted work. We tell you which side of that line your project falls on before you commit.
Do you work on pre-1900 houses?
Yes. Much of the borough predates 1900, and the sequencing on those houses — what gets opened first, what gets tested before demolition — is different from work on a postwar house.
Can the project be financed?
Yes — see renovation financing for the lenders we work with.
