Myers Constructs is an award-winning design to build general contracting firm serving the greater Philadelphia metro region. Our specialty is providing custom residential remodeling and restoration - from concept stage, through design, to completed construction. We have a passion for breathing new life into older homes.
And we do so using tasteful and sustainable products, eco-friendly construction processes, and reputable business practices that we can be proud of. Our firm recently marked its 21st anniversary. It's a substantial milestone, and it got us thinking about the number of older houses we've improved over that span of time as well as the people we've helped to live better lives as a result.

Contemporary designs that accentuate open floor plans with clean lines, sleek appliances, and pleasing visual angles. As a local architecture firm, Atelier Darling-Wolf looks for any chance to work with this fine contractor and great people. I have had the chance to work on several projects of varying scales and can without hesitation say that they are my favorite contractor in Philadelphia.
The master bedroom suite in this 1950s Sputnik-era Flourtown rancher was in need of a modern renewal to suit the homeowners' tastes, and to match the ongoing whole-home renovations we've been doing for them during the past several years. The goal was to create the feel of extra space in the bathroom, particularly in the shower, where we bumped out a wall and installed a sleek custom black granite shower bench.
In this 1960s Lafayette Hill rancher, the small, existing master bathroom came equipped with a shower, toilet, vanity - but not much maneuvering room or style. Our customers also suffered from a serious shortage of closet space. We decided to use the small room adjacent to the master bedroom (which was likely intended as a nursery or study) as space for a new, larger en-suite master bathroom.
The house was a Mount Airy single built during the first decade of the last century. We work in many older homes like this one. In a home like this, the plumbing installation is typically lead pipe in a massive concrete slab. Although the original fixtures were of excellent quality, after 90 years, they were worn out and the lead drains were rotted.
This project presented another older bathroom, tidy but in need of an update. What the customers wanted were updated fixtures: an air-jet bathtub (yet with a traditional clawfoot look); a shower with frameless glass door; a bidet-toilet; and a heated towel rack. In addition, we specified new tile, new lights, new medicine cabinet and counters, and a better shelving solution.

I highly recommend Myers Constructs. Not only did they do a fabulous job on one property that was in desperate need of some renovations and another that needed some specific repairs and upgrades, they advised me while I was looking for a house to purchase (and kept me from making a costly mistake with an appealing but problematic property), and did a construction inspection of the house I bought. Because of their detailed inspection, I asked for more cash at closing than my agent recommended, could document my ask, and got a better deal than I would have otherwise. With Myers, you are dealing with

On our kitchen re-do a few years back, Myers Constructs did the following:
1) made an outside sill with wood stamped "for interior use only".
2) Allowed a subcontractor (who was not their usual flooring guy) to install a tile floor without proper underlayment. Used 1/8" cheap luan, when 1/2" or 3/4" plywood was needed -- for maybe $300 more--on a 25k plus job. Even on this, there was scrimping--the underlayment and tiling were not done wall to wall, leaving gaps under the appliances. This was apparently done to save buying one more sheet of 1/4" underlayment. There
