A kitchen remodel should feel easier every day
In Northeast Philly, Roxborough, Northern Liberties, and Mount Airy, homeowners often ask for “a modern look”—but what they really need is a kitchen that works: better storage, better lighting, and materials that don’t chip, stain, or crack within a year.
The 3 upgrades that change everything
1) Storage planning (not just more cabinets):
- Deep drawers for pots instead of base cabinets with one shelf
- A real pantry zone (even if it’s narrow)
- Trash/recycling pull-outs that don’t eat counter space
2) Lighting that eliminates shadows:
- Layered lighting: ceiling + under-cabinet + task lighting
- Warmer, consistent color temperature so tile and paint look intentional
3) Tile and grout choices that reduce maintenance:
- Larger-format tile = fewer grout lines
- Proper waterproofing behind showers and backsplashes
- Grout selection that matches the use-case (not just the color trend)
Bathroom remodel detail that prevents “future repairs”
If your bathroom remodel includes a shower, waterproofing is the foundation. Tile is not waterproof by itself. The system behind the tile is what protects framing and drywall.
