Project Started in November 2009
Attractive Properties was asked to completely renovate a Philadelphia row home for an investor who was going to flip it.
When we walked into this house it was flee infested with dog droppings throughout and three trees growing through the back of the house. So we killed the flees, cleaned it out and then proceeded to completely gut the building. Then we had to take out the three trees in the back and get out the stumps so we could lay a concrete pad in the back of the house. We re-framed to suit the new owner’s plans.
We saved this property by supporting it structurally while we conducted underpinning of the foundation over one weekend. This became necessary because of a heavy April rain which created a mud slide that caused the back wall of the house to collapse. Fortunately we had someone in the house late Friday afternoon when this happened so we got a call and rallied the troops! We worked through the weekend and by Monday morning the entire building was underpinned and the foundation walls rebuilt in the basement. Our structural engineer came in Monday and found everything done the way he would have asked us to and we passed muster with L & I.
