What Your Philadelphia Neighbors Are Saying
We remodel bathrooms all over Franklinville, on the blocks between East Erie Avenue, Whitaker Avenue and East Venango Street.
Franklinville was built as working housing for the factories and rail lines that used to run along this side of North Philadelphia. The homes are two-story brick rows, tight but solid, with one bathroom upstairs and no second option when it is out of service. That single-bath reality drives every decision on the schedule. Showcase Remodels plans around it, and the full range of what we do sits on our Philadelphia bathroom remodeling page. In Franklinville the goal is a lasting bath at a price that makes sense for the block.
Bathroom Remodels for Franklinville's Brick Rowhomes
Most of these baths still have the original layout, with a tub under the window and a sink squeezed behind the door.
The drain stack is the piece that decides the budget. Once we see its condition we can tell you whether this is a finish job or a plumbing job.
About Franklinville
Franklinville sits in North Philadelphia, north of East Erie Avenue and east of North Broad Street. Whitaker Avenue and B Street run through it.
East Venango Street and West Venango Street cross the neighborhood, and East Hunting Park Avenue forms the northern boundary.
Hunting Park is the closest large green space. Reed Playground, Schmidt Playground and the Rivera Recreation Center serve the blocks day to day.
Cayuga Elementary School, Antonia Pantoja Charter School and Hunting Park Christian Academy all draw families through the same streets each morning.
The Esperanza campus on the eastern side is one of the bigger institutions in this part of North Philadelphia.
The housing is nearly all early 1900s two-story brick rows, many with a small front yard or a step-up stoop. Lots are narrow and yards are short.
Why Franklinville Homeowners Choose Showcase Remodels
Showcase Remodels gives Franklinville owners a straight answer on cost and a real date for finishing. That is what people here ask for first.
- One Bathroom Means a Tight Schedule: When the house has one bath, every extra day matters. We sequence the work so the toilet goes back in as early as it safely can.
- We Price the Stack Honestly: If the drain line is sound we say so and leave it. If it is not, you get the number before we touch it.
- Options at Three Levels: We quote a straight refresh, a mid-level remodel and a full gut so you can pick. Nothing is hidden in a single lump price.
- Licensed and Insured Since 2002: Showcase Remodels is a licensed general contractor with full coverage on every job. Permits and inspections are included.
- Same Crew Every Day: The team that starts your Franklinville bath finishes it. You are not meeting new faces halfway through the job.
Bathroom Services for Franklinville Homes
Showcase Remodels handles the full range of bathroom work for Franklinville homes:
Not every Franklinville bath needs a full gut. Replacing the tub surround, the vanity and the floor gets you a clean room without opening every wall.
Stepping over a high tub wall gets harder with age. We take the tub out and set a low-threshold shower in the same alcove, which keeps plumbing changes small.
Sheet vinyl over an old subfloor is what most of these baths still have. We replace the subfloor where it is soft, then set tile or a waterproof plank.
Old drain stacks in Franklinville rows are often the real reason a bathroom smells or drains slow. We replace what we open and price stack work separately.
A sink jammed behind the door wastes the only usable corner. Moving the vanity a foot and adding a drawer base makes the room work far better.
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.

Serving Bathrooms Near East Erie Avenue and Whitaker Avenue
We work the blocks off East Erie Avenue, Whitaker Avenue, B Street and East Venango Street.
Crews come in on Erie Avenue and turn up Whitaker Avenue, which stays clearer than the smaller streets during the school run.
Homes near Reed Playground and Schmidt Playground have street parking only, so material goes in early and the curb opens back up by mid-morning.
For the blocks closest to Hunting Park and East Hunting Park Avenue, dumpsters get placed on the wider cross streets rather than in front of the house.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bathroom Remodeling in Franklinville
Didn’t see your question? Call us today at 215-515-6484
I only have one bathroom. How long will it be out of service?
Plan on about two weeks with no working bath on a mid-level remodel. We stage the work so the toilet and sink return before the finish work is done.
Can I remodel without opening every wall in the room?
Yes. If the plumbing is sound we replace the tub surround, vanity and floor and leave the rest closed, which keeps both cost and time down.
My Franklinville bathroom drains slowly and smells. What causes that?
In these older rows it is usually the cast-iron drain stack rather than the fixture. We inspect the line once the wall is open and price a repair separately.
Can you convert my tub to a walk-in shower?
Yes, and it is one of our most common Franklinville jobs. The new base sits in the same alcove, so plumbing changes stay small and costs stay predictable.
Do I need a permit for this work in Franklinville?
You do if plumbing moves or new circuits go in. Showcase Remodels pulls the permit and meets the inspector on site.
How much notice do you need to start?
We usually book a few weeks out and order materials before demolition day. That way the job runs straight through instead of stalling.
