Full gut renovation of a historic Philadelphia rowhome
Historic Rowhome Renovation | Philadelphia, PA
A complete gut renovation of a historic Philadelphia rowhome, from structural demo through finished exterior, preserving the original brick facade and adding modern curb appeal.
Project Overview
This rowhome on Warnock Street had great bones but needed everything else. Scott took it down to the studs, reinforced the structure, and rebuilt it from the inside out — keeping the historic brick front intact while modernizing every system and surface.

Project Story
Homeowner Goal
Transform a neglected historic rowhome into a modern, livable space while preserving its original character.
What Was Needed
The property needed a complete gut renovation — structural reinforcement, new mechanicals, and a fully reimagined interior — while respecting the historic brick facade.
Scott's Approach
Scott managed the full scope personally — from structural demo and roof work through exterior finishing — ensuring the historic facade was preserved while the home was completely rebuilt behind it.
The Result
The finished exterior showcases restored brickwork, new shutters, and clean curb appeal that respects the block character while signaling a fully modernized interior.
