Remodeling a kitchen in Philadelphia is not just about finishes and layout. It also involves city regulations, inspections, and proper documentation. Plumbing updates, electrical upgrades, and structural adjustments often require permits through the city. Skipping that step can create serious problems later, especially during resale.

We operate with proper licensing and active insurance coverage for every remodeling project. If a permit is required, we handle the submission, coordinate scheduling, and prepare the site for inspection. You do not need to visit city offices near Philadelphia City Hall or track paperwork yourself. We manage that process.

Our Kitchen Remodeling Process — How We Work

We Offer Kitchen Remodeling Services
In Philadelphia

As one of Philadelphia’s remodeling experts, we have earned a reputation for quality workmanship and customer loyalty. No job is too big for us, nor is any job too small. Let us help you on your next kitchen renovations.

Step 1

Consultation & Design

A senior member of our team visits your home at a time that works for you. We walk through the kitchen together, look at the existing conditions, and listen before we say anything about what you should do. What works in your kitchen now. What does not. How you actually use the space. What your budget looks like. Within a week, you get a design plan and a detailed quote.

Step 2

Permitting & Planning

Once you’re ready, we finalize the plan and pull any needed permits with Philadelphia’s L&I. We handle submitting the drawings if needed and all documentation. Meanwhile, we place orders for your cabinets, countertops, and appliances. Every product is scheduled so it arrives on time no waiting weeks into the project.

Step 3

Preparation & Build

We start by protecting your kitchen and removing old cabinets, counters, flooring, and walls. Electricians and plumbers handle wiring and pipes during this phase. Next, we install new cabinets, countertops, and flooring, followed by backsplash, painting, and trim. You’ll see your kitchen take shape, and we provide daily updates so you always know what’s happening.

Step 4

Final Walkthrough

Before we call it done, we do a final walkthrough with you. We check cabinet alignments, door hardware, caulking around sinks, and lighting. We test all appliances and fixtures . If Philadelphia L&I needs to inspect something, we schedule that. Our work comes with a 5-year workmanship warranty, so even after we leave, we’re a call away if you notice anything.

Common Kitchen Problems We Solve

Philadelphia kitchens come with unique challenges, especially in older rowhomes and twins. Many homeowners struggle with outdated layouts, insufficient storage, and cramped spaces. We address these issues with tailored solutions that fit both your lifestyle and your home’s structure.

All Services
Lack of Storage

Old kitchens often leave wasted space. We add solutions like a walk-in pantry, corner lazy-susans, toe-kick drawers, or full-height pantry cabinets. Every renovation we do adds at least 20% more storage than before.

Read more
Inefficient Layout

The classic “kitchen work triangle” sink, stove, fridge is often broken. We may move the sink to an island, bring the fridge closer to the sink, or install a continuous countertop through multiple areas. Even small changes swapping door swings, adding a prep sink can improve flow drastically.

Read more
Outdated Electrical & Plumbing

Many Philadelphia kitchens can’t handle modern appliances. Old two-prong outlets get replaced with grounded outlets and USB-charging stations. We upgrade panels or add dedicated circuits so your microwave and range have safe power. For plumbing, twe replace old galvanized or polybutylene pipes with copper or PEX and repositioning lines for new sinks, dishwashers, or refrigerators.

Read more
Dark or Poor Lighting

Kitchens with one small window are common. We install layered lighting: recessed LEDs for general light, pendant lamps over islands, under-cabinet lights for countertops, and new task lights in the sink area. This makes the kitchen not only safer to work in, but more inviting no more shadows.

Read more
Worn or Outdated Finishes

From cracked tile to rickety cabinets, we replace them. We demo old ceramic floor tiles that might be cracked or slippery with new non-slip tiles or waterproof luxury vinyl. Old flat cabinet doors get upgraded to shaker style or whatever suits your taste. Countertops get replaced to freshen the look.

Read more
Poor Ventilation

As the Philadelphia Rowhouse Manual notes, large ranges or windowless kitchens require an exterior exhaust
. We install vent hoods that pump air outside (often up through the roof or a side wall) to remove smoke and moisture. This protects paint and cabinets and prevents mold from kitchen humidity.

Full Kitchen Remodel

A full kitchen remodel starts at the studs and rebuilds everything. Demolition, structural changes if the layout requires them, new electrical rough-in, new plumbing rough-in, cabinets, countertops, flooring, backsplash, lighting, appliances, paint, and trim.
This is the right scope for kitchens that have not been touched in twenty or more years, homes with outdated electrical panels or cast-iron plumbing that needs replacing before new fixtures go in, and homeowners who want a layout change — not just a surface refresh.

Kitchen Cabinet Installation & Replacement

If your layout works but the storage or style is outdated, we install new cabinetry. This includes custom or semi-custom cabinets (framed or frameless) to maximize storage. We consider features like pull-out shelves, deep drawers for pots, and corner carousels so you use every inch. Cabinets often take up 30–40% of the budget
because they define the kitchen’s look. We offer a range of finishes (painted, wood grain, glass fronts) to fit classic Philly rowhomes or modern condos.

Countertop Installation

We replace old countertops with durable surfaces. Popular choices in Philadelphia include quartz (a hard, low-maintenance stone look) and granite
. These materials resist stains and scratches, a must for busy families. If you’re on a tighter budget, we also offer laminate or butcher block surfaces. Our team will template your existing counters and sinks, then professionally install new slabs or sheets so seams are minimized.

Open-Concept Kitchen Remodeling

Removing a wall to open the kitchen to the living or dining area is a big renovation trend and it makes sense in older homes with boxy layouts. We specialize in safely removing non-load-bearing walls or installing beams if needed to create a more open kitchen. This lets natural light flow through and keeps everyone connected. We coordinate with structural engineers and pull building permits to ensure the changes are done safely.

Kitchen Layout Redesign & Space Planning

Every square foot counts in Philadelphia homes. Our designers use 3D modeling to re-envision your kitchen’s flow. Maybe a cooktop can move closer to the fridge, or the sink should go under a new window. We offer built-in pantries, pull-out spice racks, or a coffee station area. We also maximize vertical space: cabinets up to the ceiling, hanging pot racks, and tall pantries to use awkward niches. Even a small kitchen can feel larger with the right layout.

Flooring, Backsplash & Lighting

A beautiful backsplash adds character and protects walls; we install tile subway, mosaic, stone that suits Philadelphia styles like blue/white ceramic for a classic look, or rich slate for a more modern feel. Flooring options include hardwood traditional and warm, durable tile, or luxury vinyl plank vinyl that looks like wood or stone. Proper lighting is crucial, especially in dark kitchens. We add recessed LED lights, under-cabinet lights, and stylish fixtures over islands or dining areas to brighten the space.

Johnny Comoara Construction

How do I find a contractor who won’t upsell me or act unprofessional?

The upsell usually starts with a low quote to win the job, followed by convenient “surprises” once demo starts that push the price up. Protect yourself by getting an itemized quote in writing, asking what is not included, and confirming that any extra cost during demo needs your written approval first, not a mid project surprise. Also check if reviews mention the quoted price holding steady, and notice if the contractor pitches upgrades before even asking about your budget, since that is usually selling, not listening. At Johnny Comoara Construction, this is exactly why we are different. We give you a detailed, itemized quote within a week, and that price does not change unless you change the scope. We listen to your budget and needs first, before suggesting anything, and being licensed and insured means you take on no hidden risk.

How long will my kitchen actually be out of use during the remodel?

Most full kitchen remodels in Philadelphia run 4 to 6 weeks, and we give you that timeline in writing before work starts, not a rushed estimate to win the job. If we hit something unexpected, like old wiring or plumbing behind the walls, we tell you right away and explain how it affects the schedule, instead of letting delays pile up quietly. We also plan material orders in advance so cabinets, countertops, and appliances arrive on schedule instead of holding up the job. You should be able to plan around a real date, not guess at one.

What happens if something goes wrong after the job is finished?

Every project we complete comes with a 5-year workmanship warranty, covering the actual craftsmanship, not just materials. That means if a seam starts to lift, a cabinet door falls out of alignment, a countertop edge chips at a joint, or a fixture was not installed level, it is covered. You call us, we schedule a visit, and we fix it, no extra charge, no runaround. We do not put the burden on you to prove the problem was our fault. If it is something we installed and it fails within the warranty period, we treat it as our responsibility to correct, not something you need to argue your way into getting fixed. That is the difference between a company that stands behind its work and one that considers the job over the moment final payment clears.

FAQ

Philadelphia Homeowners Ask — We Answer

Homeowners in Philadelphia often have the same questions before starting a remodel. Many properties are older and require plumbing, electrical, or structural review. City permits and inspections also affect timelines and cost.

These are the questions Philadelphia homeowners ask us before they commit to a remodeling project.
We answer them the same way every time. Straight, honest, and without the runaround.

Kitchen remodeling costs in the Philadelphia area usually range from $175 to $350 per square foot. Smaller updates can start around $15,000. Larger, full renovations often exceed $80,000 depending on layout changes and material selection. Most mid-range projects fall between $35,000 and $70,000.

Yes, if you move plumbing, change electrical systems, or alter walls. The Philadelphia Department of Licenses and Inspections requires permits for structural and mechanical changes. Cosmetic updates like tile replacement may not require one.

We template your kitchen on-site before anything is cut, so cabinets, countertops, and cutouts are measured to your actual walls and appliances, not guessed at. Seams are planned in advance so slab patterns match, and fixtures are cut using a template so they sit straight. Before final payment, we walk through with you and check every alignment ourselves, so nothing gets missed.

Yes. Many rowhome kitchen are renovated without changing the layout. Keeping plumbing locations the same reduces cost and speeds up the timeline.

We inspect exposed systems during demolition. If we find galvanized pipes or outdated wiring, we recommend replacement before closing walls. This prevents future leaks and electrical hazards.

We handle it as one team from start to finish. You work with the same people for design, demolition, and installation, not a rotating set of subcontractors you have to manage yourself. We also source cabinets, countertops, flooring, and appliances directly, so you’re not chasing down separate vendors or waiting on deliveries you have to coordinate on your own. One point of contact, one schedule, one crew accountable for the whole job.
