Home Remodeling in King of Prussia, PA
KW Home Improvements LLC remodels homes throughout King of Prussia and Upper Merion Township. We specialize in the split-levels, Colonials, ranches, and Cape Cods that define this area, delivering kitchen remodels, bathroom renovations, basement finishing, deck installation, and home additions for homeowners who know exactly what their house needs.
Kitchen Remodeling in King of Prussia
Kitchens in King of Prussia’s mid-century homes are often small, closed off from the rest of the house, and running on electrical and plumbing systems that have been patched over for decades. Split-levels typically have galley-style kitchens tucked behind a wall. Colonials often have eat-in kitchens that feel cramped by today’s standards. Ranches may have more square footage to work with, but the layouts are dated and the cabinetry, countertops, and fixtures have not kept up. Whether you are opening up a closed floor plan where structure allows, replacing aging cabinetry and countertops, or doing a full gut renovation, we handle every aspect of the job.
- Full kitchen gut and rebuild in split-levels, colonials, and ranches
- Opening up closed-off kitchens and improving traffic flow where structure allows
- Countertop, cabinet, backsplash, and flooring installation
- Updating aging plumbing and electrical to current Pennsylvania code
Bathroom Remodeling in King of Prussia
Many homes in King of Prussia still have original bathrooms from the 1960s and 1970s — small footprints, outdated tile, single vanities, and fixtures that have seen better days. In split-levels, bathrooms are often squeezed into awkward layouts between levels. In colonials and ranches, the main bathroom may be functional but dated in every way. We handle full bathroom renovations including plumbing, electrical, tile, cabinetry, glass, and fixtures, and we know what to expect behind the walls in homes of this era — from galvanized supply lines to undersized drain lines that need to be brought up to code.
- Complete bathroom gut and remodel
- Tub-to-shower conversions and walk-in shower builds
- Custom tile showers, double vanities, and updated flooring
- Replacing outdated galvanized and cast-iron plumbing with modern materials
Basement Finishing in King of Prussia
Most King of Prussia homes have full basements that are either completely unfinished or partially finished with decades-old materials. With the median home price in King of Prussia around $500,000 and climbing, finishing your basement is one of the most cost-effective ways to add usable living space without the expense of a full addition. But basements in Upper Merion Township come with their own set of challenges. The area receives roughly 47 inches of rainfall per year — above the national average — and many homes in the 19406 zip code deal with seasonal moisture, hydrostatic pressure against older foundations, and drainage systems that were never designed for today’s standards. We address all of it before any finish work begins.
- Full basement build-outs into family rooms, home offices, gyms, or guest suites
- Basement bathroom additions with proper plumbing and ventilation
- Moisture management, waterproofing, and sump pump evaluation before finishing
- Egress window installation where required by code
Decks & Patios in King of Prussia
King of Prussia’s established residential neighborhoods along Henderson Road, Springdell Road, and throughout the King Manor area feature homes on generous lots with real backyards. Many of these properties have aging decks that were original to the house or patios that have settled and cracked over time. We design and build new decks and patios that complement the home’s style, hold up to Pennsylvania’s freeze-thaw cycles and above-average rainfall, and give you an outdoor space that actually gets used. Every deck project includes proper footings, ledger board attachment, and structural connections built to Upper Merion Township code.
- Custom deck design and construction in wood or composite
- Patio installation including pavers, flagstone, and concrete
- Replacement of aging or unsafe decks on split-levels, colonials, and ranches
- Permit coordination through Upper Merion Township
Home Additions in King of Prussia
Many families in King of Prussia love their neighborhood, the Upper Merion Area School District, and the convenience of the Route 202 corridor — but they have outgrown their home. The split-levels, ranches, and colonials that define this area were built for a different era, and the floor plans do not always accommodate how families live today. A well-planned home addition lets you add the space you need — whether that is a primary suite, expanded family room, or additional bedroom — without leaving the community. We handle additions that tie into the existing structure seamlessly, matching rooflines, siding, and interior finishes so the new space feels like it was always part of the home.
- Room additions that blend with existing split-level, colonial, and ranch layouts
- Primary suite additions and expanded family living spaces
- Structural tie-ins to existing framing with matched rooflines and finishes
- Full permit coordination and inspection management through Upper Merion Township
Remodeling Challenges Unique to King of Prussia Homes

-
Closed-Off Floor Plans
Split-levels and colonials from this era were designed with separate, compartmentalized rooms. Kitchens were tucked behind walls, dining rooms were formal and rarely used, and family rooms were isolated at the back of the house. Today’s homeowners want open, connected living spaces, but you cannot just knock down walls without understanding the structure. Many interior walls in these homes are load-bearing, and the framing was done with dimensional lumber and construction methods that differ from modern building. We assess the structure before any demolition and engineer proper solutions — including beams and headers — when walls need to come down.
-
Aging Plumbing Systems
Many King of Prussia homes built in the 1950s and 1960s still have original galvanized steel supply lines. Galvanized pipes corrode from the inside over time, reducing water pressure and eventually failing. Homes from the 1970s and 1980s may have a mix of copper, galvanized, and early plastic supply lines. When we open up walls for a kitchen or bathroom remodel, we assess the full plumbing picture and replace what needs replacing so you are not dealing with failures after the project is done.
-
Outdated Electrical Panels and Wiring
Electrical systems in mid-century King of Prussia homes were sized for a different era. Many homes still have 100-amp panels that are undersized for modern use — think multiple kitchen appliances, HVAC systems, EV chargers, and home offices running simultaneously. We frequently find circuits that are overloaded, ungrounded outlets, and wiring that does not meet current code. Any remodeling project that involves electrical work gets a full assessment to make sure the system supports the finished result safely.
-
Basement Moisture and Water Intrusion
King of Prussia receives an average of 47 inches of rainfall per year, well above the national average. Many homes in the 19406 zip code experience seasonal moisture in the basement, especially properties near Crow Creek and throughout the lower-lying areas of Upper Merion Township. The clay-heavy soil common in Montgomery County holds water against foundations, creating hydrostatic pressure that forces moisture through cracks and joints. Before any basement finishing work begins, we evaluate drainage, waterproofing, and sump pump systems to make sure the finished space stays dry.
-
