What Your Philadelphia Neighbors Are Saying
We remodel bathrooms on the blocks around General Pulaski Park, between Richmond Street, Castor Avenue and the Delaware River.
This is the riverfront edge of the River Wards, where compact brick rows from the early 1900s run right down toward the water. The bathrooms are small, upstairs and sit above the kitchen, and many still carry their first tub. Owners here tend to stay a long time, so the work needs to last a long time too. Showcase Remodels builds to that standard across the city, and the full service list is on our page for bathroom remodeling in Philadelphia. Near General Pulaski Park the priority is durability over trend.
Bathroom Remodels near General Pulaski Park
Being close to the river means these homes carry more damp air than most. Ventilation is not a nice extra here, it is the difference between five years and fifteen.
The blocks are short and the curbs are full, so we stage material inside on day one and keep the street open.
About the Area near General Pulaski Park
General Pulaski Park sits in the River Wards, on the eastern side of Richmond Street toward the Delaware River.
Castor Avenue and East Lehigh Avenue are the two roads most people use to reach the park and the waterfront beyond it.
The Cohocksink Recreation Center and Glavin Playground serve the same blocks, with Monkiewicz Playground and the Samuel Recreation Center a short walk further west.
The Richmond Library on Almond Street is the closest branch, and the Alternative Middle Years at James Martin School sits among the surrounding rows.
Campbell Square and Powers Park anchor the neighborhood inland, so this pocket has open space on both sides of it.
The housing here is early 1900s brick rows, mostly two stories, tighter than the blocks further from the water. Front stoops and shared party walls are standard.
Why Homeowners near General Pulaski Park Choose Showcase Remodels
Showcase Remodels builds bathrooms for the conditions they actually live in. On these riverfront blocks that means moisture first, finish second.
- Ventilation Sized to the Room: A properly sized exhaust fan vented outside is the single best investment in a damp-air neighborhood. We fit one on every job here.
- Waterproofing Behind Every Tile Wall: We use backer board and a waterproof membrane rather than tiling over old plaster. That is what keeps grout from failing in year three.
- Kitchen Ceiling Protected: These baths sit directly above the kitchen. A properly built shower pan is what keeps the ceiling below dry for good.
- Licensed and Insured Since 2002: Showcase Remodels is a licensed general contractor with full coverage. Permits and inspections are included in the scope.
- Short Blocks Respected: Curb space is tight this close to the park. We unload early, keep one vehicle on site and give the rest of the street back.
Bathroom Services near General Pulaski Park
Showcase Remodels handles the full range of bathroom work for General Pulaski Park homes:
Long-time owners on these blocks ask for this more than anything else. The new base sits in the same alcove, so the plumbing work stays small.
Damp river air is hard on grout and on any wall that was not waterproofed. We build the substrate first so the tile survives the humidity.
Early 1900s rows near the water still run cast iron and galvanized pipe. We replace what we open so the new bath is not fed by worn-out lines.
These rooms are small enough that every inch is a decision. We draw the layout to scale before ordering so nothing arrives that will not fit.
A single-piece top with an integrated sink has no seam for moisture to sit in. That matters more here than in a drier part of the city.
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 near General Pulaski Park
Didn’t see your question? Call us today at 215-515-6484
Why does my bathroom near the river stay damp so long after a shower?
The outside air here already carries moisture, so a weak fan cannot clear the room. A properly sized exhaust fan vented outside fixes it in most homes.
My grout keeps cracking and staining. What is going wrong?
Almost always the wall behind it. Tile set over old plaster with no waterproofing will fail, and rebuilding that wall is the only lasting answer.
Can you convert my tub to a walk-in shower on these blocks?
Yes, and it is our most requested job near the park. The base fits the existing alcove, which keeps plumbing changes and cost down.
There is a stain on my kitchen ceiling under the bathroom. Can that be fixed?
Yes. It points to a failed shower pan or wet wall above, and we rebuild the shower properly and repair the ceiling below.
Do you pull permits for work near General Pulaski Park?
Yes. Showcase Remodels pulls the city permits for plumbing, electrical and framing changes and meets the inspector on site.
Where will your crew park on these short blocks?
One work vehicle stays close to your door and everything else parks further out. Material is carried in early so the curb frees up for neighbors.
