What Your Philadelphia Neighbors Are Saying
We remodel bathrooms throughout Sharswood, from North 22nd Street across to North Broad Street and down toward West Girard Avenue.
Sharswood is unusual because two kinds of houses sit on the same block. Some are two and three-story brick rows from the 1800s with plaster, lath and cast iron still in place. Others are recent infill with modern framing and PEX supply lines. Showcase Remodels does both kinds of work, and the whole catalogue is on our Philadelphia bathroom remodeling page. The right plan depends on which of those two houses you own.
Bathroom Remodels for Sharswood's Old Rows and New Builds
In the older rows the bath is small, upstairs and built over a floor that has moved. Level and square are things we create, not things we find.
In the newer homes the bones are fine, but builder-grade fixtures and thin tile work wear out fast. Those jobs are about upgrading finishes without touching the plumbing.
About Sharswood
Sharswood sits in North Philadelphia between North Broad Street and North 22nd Street, north of Fairmount Avenue.
West Girard Avenue, Poplar Street and West Diamond Street are the main cross streets, and Girard College sits along the western edge.
Athletic Square, Ingersoll Park and Fletcher B. Amos Playground give the blocks their open space. The Martin Luther King Jr. Recreation Center serves the same stretch.
The Cecil B. Moore library branch and the General George G. Meade School bring steady daytime foot traffic through the neighborhood.
Sharswood has seen more new construction in the last decade than most of North Philadelphia. Whole blocks now mix hundred-year-old rows with houses finished in the last few years.
That mix is why no two bathroom jobs here look alike. The house next door can need the exact opposite approach to yours.
Why Sharswood Homeowners Choose Showcase Remodels
Showcase Remodels reads the house before quoting the job. In Sharswood that step decides whether you are buying a finish upgrade or a full rebuild.
- Comfortable in Old Rows and New Builds: We carry the tools and the habits for both. Hand demolition in a plaster house, clean finish work in a modern one.
- We Find the Surprises Early: On a century-old row we open a small area first and look. That is cheaper for you than discovering a rotted joist on day four.
- Straight Pricing on Rehab Work: Half-finished past remodels are common here. We price what we can see and give you a clear range for what is still hidden.
- Licensed and Insured Since 2002: Showcase Remodels holds a general contractor license and full insurance. Permits and inspections are handled as part of the job.
- Clean Site, Every Day: Dust barriers go up before demolition and the floor path gets covered. We leave the house livable while the bath is out of service.
Bathroom Services for Sharswood Homes
Showcase Remodels handles the full range of bathroom work for Sharswood homes:
Older Sharswood rows have odd corners left over from past remodels. We draw the room first so the fixtures fit the space that actually exists.
Cast-iron tubs in these rows are heavy and often chipped past repair. We take the old one out through a narrow stair and set a new tub that matches the alcove.
In a house with settled floors, tile is only as good as the prep under it. We flatten and waterproof before the first sheet goes down.
New Sharswood builds usually come with a shallow builder vanity. Swapping in a deeper cabinet with real drawers changes how the room works day to day.
One ceiling fixture leaves shadows on your face at the mirror. We add sconces or a lit mirror and put the switch where your hand already goes.
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 Sharswood
Didn’t see your question? Call us today at 215-515-6484
My Sharswood house is new construction. Is it too soon to remodel the bathroom?
Not at all. Builder-grade vanities, thin tile and basic fixtures are the first things owners replace, and none of it needs plumbing changes.
My row is over a hundred years old. Can the floor take a tile bath?
In most cases yes, once we check the joists. If a joist is undersized or damaged we sister it before any tile or a heavier tub goes in.
A previous owner started a remodel and stopped. Can you finish it?
Yes, and this comes up often in Sharswood. We open what was left behind, price the real condition and finish it properly rather than covering it.
Can you get a cast-iron tub down my narrow Sharswood stair?
Yes. Old tubs usually come out in pieces, which is safer for your walls and your stair rail than trying to carry one whole.
Do you pull permits for Sharswood remodels?
Yes. Showcase Remodels pulls the city permits for plumbing, electrical and framing work and meets the inspector on site.
How long does a Sharswood bathroom remodel take?
A finish upgrade in a newer home can run two to three weeks. A full gut in an older row usually runs four to six.
