Photos of Some Houses That We've Rehabbed

I guess it is much easier to start a blog for my company, SHD Construction, by showing photos of what we've done so our clients can easily see samples of our work. We are a construction company that is licensed in the City of Philadelphia and the surrounding Montgomery County. We also have a separate real estate company that handles the buying, selling, and rental management of investment houses. I might blog about that aspect of real estate investing as well in the future.

Anyway, let's start with some photos of a house that we've just finished rehabbing:

living room: we've put down some new flooring (bamboo) and paint

kitchen: the usual suspects, there are the new cabinets, tiles, and appliancesbedroom: yes, we put bamboo flooring throughout. I really like bamboo over hardwood nowadays; it's a little cheaper, I guess more environmentally friendly, plus I have it at my house, and it seems a little smoother and easier to clean. Main bath: oooohh jacuzzi plus a standing shower ......
Second bath:
Front of the building: Yes we painted it green .... but that seems to match the neighborhood in a way ....

This house is located more North of Northern Liberties, past Girard Ave, in the Old Kensington / Fishtown neighborhood. The neighborhood is going through a phase of transformation due to its still affordable price but close proximity to Center City. So we are actually in that neighborhood a LOT and we do like it there.

Before we worked the house, it was actually a very very smelly shell with lots of junk (and dog poop) that the previous owner left. It was 1700 sq ft of 5 bedrooms and 1 bath, a typical Philly row home with obsolete design, and we have made it into a good sized 3 bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths.

Just for fun, here are the "before" photos:

that looks like the old kitchen ...

And mind you, these photos were taken after we've already threw away maybe 3 dumpsters, or more, of trash, demolished the old bathroom and kitchen (see the random toliet sitting around) and probably knocked down quite a few walls. Our company can finish all the aspects of project from start to finish, from clean out to obtaining permits, to redo all the plumbing, electrical wiring, etc., to the final cosmetic procedure of the house: paint, flooring, kitchen design, etc.

By the way, this house is for sale! If you or anyone is interested, let me know!
