Bathroom renovations in older Philadelphia homes often present unique challenges—but also huge opportunities for customization and value-add. At PKB (Philly Kitchen & Bath LLC), we specialize in revitalizing outdated bathrooms with efficient layouts, high-quality tile work, and elegant finishes that elevate your daily routine. If you live in Northeast Philly, Roxborough, Mount Airy, or Northern Liberties, and your home was built more than 40 years ago, read on.
Many older homes feature bathrooms with minimal square footage, insufficient lighting, and outdated plumbing systems. Our team of licensed professionals begins every bathroom remodel with a full inspection of your plumbing, electrical layout, and wall structures to ensure we’re building on a solid foundation.
Tile installation is one of the most transformative elements in any remodel. From anti-slip porcelain floors to bold statement walls in the shower, tile gives you design freedom and long-lasting durability. We’ve installed everything from sleek subway tile in Roxborough rowhomes to colorful Moroccan mosaics in Mount Airy duplexes. Tile choices also affect cleaning ease, waterproofing, and thermal insulation—an overlooked benefit during Philly winters.
Another key consideration is storage. Many old bathrooms weren’t built with modern routines in mind. We often install recessed shelving, floating vanities, and hidden medicine cabinets to give clients a clutter-free space that doesn’t feel cramped. Lighting is just as important. In one recent remodel in Northern Liberties, we added layered LED lighting, backlit mirrors, and a skylight to open up what was once a dark, confined area.
As a top-rated kitchen and bathroom remodeler in Philadelphia, we help clients navigate material selection, layout planning, and fixture installation—all while managing permits and staying on budget. We never offer cookie-cutter designs—your lifestyle and preferences shape every square inch.
💡 Thinking about a remodel? Spring is a great time to get started before the summer contractor rush. Whether you need a full renovation or just a professional tile refresh, PKB brings deep experience and creativity to every job.
