What Your Philadelphia Neighbors Are Saying
We remodel bathrooms across Mantua, on the streets between Lancaster Avenue, Haverford Avenue and North 33rd Street.
Mantua rows are three stories, built in the late 1800s with bay fronts, high ceilings and deep floor plans. Many have been rentals or sat empty for stretches, so the bathroom is often the most worn room in the house. That usually points to a full rebuild rather than a refresh. Showcase Remodels does that heavier work across the city, and the whole service range is on our page for bathroom remodeling in Philadelphia. In Mantua the plumbing is where the money goes.
Bathroom Remodels for Mantua's Tall West Philadelphia Rows
The bath sits on the second floor, straight above the kitchen, on a drain stack that has been patched more than once.
We open the wall early and look. Knowing the true condition of that stack before finish selections keeps the budget honest.
About Mantua
Mantua sits in West Philadelphia just across the Schuylkill River, north of Market Street and west of North 30th Street.
Lancaster Avenue and Haverford Avenue are the commercial spines, and Mantua Avenue runs through the middle of the residential blocks.
Drexel Park sits at the southern edge, with the 33rd & Wallace Playground, the 39th and Olive Playground and the James Lee Wright Recreation Center serving the streets north of it.
The Charles L. Durham Library on Lancaster Avenue is the neighborhood branch, and Morton McMichael School, Powel Elementary School and Saint James School bring families through daily.
Trolley stops at 34th Street, 36th Street and 40th Street run beneath the neighborhood, and 30th Street Station sits a short walk to the southeast.
The housing is late 1800s three-story brick rows, taller and narrower than most, with plaster over lath and original joists still carrying the floors.
Why Mantua Homeowners Choose Showcase Remodels
Showcase Remodels is comfortable with houses that need real structural and plumbing attention. Mantua rows are frequently in that group.
- We Check the Joists First: A second-floor bath over a kitchen needs a floor that can carry it. We look at the framing before promising tile or a heavier tub.
- Old Stack, Real Numbers: We expose the drain stack early and price its replacement separately. Nobody wants that discovered on week three.
- Experience With Long-Vacant Homes: Houses that sat empty bring their own surprises. We plan for them instead of pretending a walk-through told the whole story.
- Licensed and Insured Since 2002: Showcase Remodels is a licensed general contractor with full coverage. Permits and inspections are part of the scope.
- One Written Scope: Every fixture, tile and finish is listed before we start. Change orders only happen when you ask for a change.
Bathroom Services for Mantua Homes
Showcase Remodels handles the full range of bathroom work for Mantua homes:
A Mantua bath usually needs everything replaced at once. Taking the room back to framing is faster and cheaper than fixing failures one at a time.
Patched cast-iron stacks and mixed supply materials are the norm in these rows. We replace what we open and give you a firm number for the rest.
Three-story rows have odd leftover spaces on the second floor. We draw the room around what the framing allows rather than forcing a catalogue layout.
Even in a tall house the bath is often narrow. A shallow vanity, a corner shower and a pocket-style door layout buy back real standing room.
Clear glass keeps a narrow Mantua bath from feeling like a closet. We measure after tile because these walls are rarely plumb.
From waterproof vinyl planks to classic tile, flooring is key to durability and style. We guide you toward materials that hold up in high-moisture spaces. Learn about bathroom flooring installation.
Tile brings personality and durability. Whether you want a timeless subway tile or a bold mosaic accent wall, our team handles it with precision. Read more about bathroom tile installation.
Upgrading toilets and sinks can save water, improve comfort, and tie your design together. We install a wide range of styles to match your bathroom. See our toilet and sink installation services.
As more homeowners plan for the future, we specialize in accessible layouts, grab bar installations, and other modifications that allow safe, independent living. Learn about aging in place and accessibility bathroom remodeling.
Each of these services connects back to the larger goal of creating a bathroom that feels custom to your home.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bathroom Remodeling in Mantua
Didn’t see your question? Call us today at 215-515-6484
My Mantua house was a rental for years. Where should the budget go?
Into the plumbing and the framing first. Finishes are the visible part, but a patched drain stack under new tile is money wasted.
Can my second-floor bathroom hold a tile floor?
Usually yes, once we check the joists below. If a joist is undersized or damaged we sister it before the floor build-up goes in.
Do you work on houses that have been empty a long time?
Yes, that is common in Mantua. We open small test areas first so the price reflects the real condition, not a guess.
Can you fit a shower into a narrow Mantua bathroom?
In nearly every case. A corner base, a shallow vanity and a rethought door swing free up more room than owners expect.
Do you pull permits in Mantua?
Yes. We file the city permits for any Mantua job that moves plumbing, adds circuits or changes framing, and we handle the inspection visit ourselves.
How long does a Mantua bathroom rebuild take?
A full rebuild usually runs four to six weeks. Replacing a drain stack or repairing framing can push it toward seven.
