Home improvement can be exciting—but if you’re not equipped with the right information, it can also be overwhelming. At PKB (Philly Kitchen & Bath LLC), we serve clients in Northeast Philly, Roxborough, Mount Airy, and beyond with expert-level kitchen remodeler, bathroom remodel, and tile installation services. This blog, centered around Industry education, is your guide to making informed decisions before your next renovation.
One of the first things we advise clients is to think beyond the visuals. Yes, a marble countertop or mosaic tile backsplash looks amazing—but what about your ventilation? Your waterproofing? Your lighting configuration? A remodel that lasts starts with a plan rooted in practicality. And that’s where our experience comes in.
We recently worked with a client in Northern Liberties who originally wanted only cosmetic updates for their bathroom. After our consultation, they understood the value of regrading their shower floor for better drainage, updating outdated copper pipes, and improving moisture control. The final result was a space that was not only stunning—but also fully optimized for safety, efficiency, and long-term durability.
In older neighborhoods like Mount Airy, homes often come with challenges like unlevel flooring or surprise plumbing issues hiding behind old tile. Our licensed team performs in-depth inspections before any work begins, ensuring we anticipate and solve issues before they turn into problems mid-project.
Additionally, if your home was built before 1978, there’s a risk of lead exposure during demolition. That’s why we always follow EPA guidelines. You can read more about lead safety in renovations here: EPA Lead Safety Tips
With hundreds of kitchens and bathrooms completed across Philadelphia, our clients come back to us because we care about the details. Whether you’re looking for simple tile upgrades or a full-scale redesign, we handle it with quality, communication, and integrity.
