A whole-home renovation is a hundred small decisions stacked on top of a few big ones, and the reason projects run late is usually not the work itself but the gaps between trades. Underhill Lions LLC is a licensed general contractor with our own framing, drywall, finish carpentry, flooring and painting crew, so most of a renovation happens under one roof and one schedule.

We work across Philadelphia, including the Northeast where we are based, plus Bucks and Montgomery Counties. Rowhomes with narrow stairs and old plaster, split-levels from the seventies, twins that need an open plan: we have opened, straightened and finished all of them.

What a renovation with us looks like

Every project starts with a walk-through and a written scope that lists each room, each trade and what "done" means. You get a fixed schedule with the plumbing and electrical partners already booked. During the work the crew arrives when we said, protects the floors and furniture that stay, and cleans up before leaving. At the end we walk the house together with a punch list and do not call it finished until the list is empty.

Framing, drywall and the finish work most people notice

Level walls, straight corners and tight trim are what make a renovation look expensive. Our crew does framing, drywall, skim coating over old plaster, insulation, baseboards, casing and crown, closets and built-ins. Paint and flooring are our own trades too, so the finish is one crew's standard from the first stud to the last coat.

Frequently Asked Questions

Usually yes. We phase the work room by room, seal the areas we are working in and keep a working kitchen or bathroom available for as long as we can. For a full gut of every room at once it is easier to move out for a few weeks, and we will tell you that up front.

Yes. We pull the permits the work needs with the City of Philadelphia, or the township in Bucks and Montgomery Counties, and schedule the inspections. Our licenses and insurance are on file with the city.

Licensed plumbing and electrical partners we work with on every project. They are scheduled inside our timeline and their permits and inspections are part of the job, so you never have to coordinate a second contractor.

A typical Philadelphia rowhome interior takes eight to twelve weeks from demolition to walk-through; a single floor or a few rooms takes three to six. We commit to a finish date in the written scope and we plan the trades to keep it.

Yes. Multi-unit rentals, small offices and retail fit-outs are a regular part of our work, including turnovers between tenants.
