Superb Home Remodeling handles home remodeling in Lansdale, PA — kitchens, bathrooms, basements and additions in a borough where a large share of the housing predates the Second World War. We are a licensed general contractor and we file the permit and run the inspections.
A railroad borough, and the houses that came with it
Lansdale was incorporated in 1872 and grew directly out of the North Pennsylvania Railroad, which is why the older streets are laid out tight to the tracks and the housing runs to Victorian twins, foursquares and narrow-lot singles rather than suburban ranchers. Three SEPTA stations on the Lansdale/Doylestown Line still sit inside the borough. On houses of that vintage the work is rarely just finishes: it is knob-and-tube left in place above a ceiling, a bathroom carved out of a bedroom in the 1950s, and a kitchen at the back of the house cut off from every other room.
The borough counts about 18,986 residents and 7,523 housing units, 55.3% owner-occupied. Median owner-occupied value is $343,800 against a median household income of $88,229.

Questions Lansdale homeowners ask
Does a basement finish need a permit here?
Yes. Lansdale lists structural remodeling of basements among the work requiring a permit, and a finished basement also raises egress and ceiling-height requirements we design to from the start.
What about replacing a furnace or upgrading the panel?
Both are permitted work in the borough, along with boilers, chimneys, central air and sump pumps.
Can the project be financed?
Yes — see renovation financing for the lenders we work with.
