Before purchase
We review the areas we can access and the changes you want to make. We also note what needs further investigation, drawings, or a specialist before we can price it.
Philadelphia renovation services
Renovations for Philadelphia Real Estate Investors
Golden Brick Construction renovates flips, rentals, and small multifamily properties. We review the property with you, put the agreed work in writing, and manage construction through the final walkthrough.
Before you invest
Know what the rehab includes before you commit
The estimate should explain which repairs and improvements it covers. We review the condition of the property and your plans for it before deciding what to include.
Before construction
We review the work, materials, allowances, excluded items, and permit responsibilities with you. We also agree on how changes will be priced and approved.
During the job
We schedule the trades and deliveries, manage the work, and discuss changes with you as they arise.

Share your lender’s requirements and repair list
If a lender or property manager is involved, send their documents before we prepare the estimate. We can review required repairs, construction paperwork, and payment milestones alongside the work you want done.
Budget assumptions
Check the amounts set aside for materials, the items you will buy yourself, work that is excluded, and repairs that still need investigation.
Access and timing
Discuss inspection deadlines, occupied units, utility interruptions, and the dates you are trying to meet.
Completion
Agree on the final walkthrough, any remaining work, cleanup, and the project records you need to keep.
Questions before you start
Questions about investor renovations
Can you review a property before I buy it?
Yes, subject to access and availability. Send the property details and your inspection deadline first. The review focuses on construction and visible conditions; it does not replace an inspection, appraisal, or engineering report.
Can you estimate work before the plans are finished?
Yes. We can review the proposed work and discuss an initial estimate. We may need drawings, material choices, a site visit, or specialist advice before confirming the price.
Do you work with out-of-area owners?
Tell us where you are based and who can provide access to the property. We will discuss how to keep you updated and who will approve materials and changes.
Where do you work?
Philadelphia and the surrounding Pennsylvania suburbs, including Bucks, Montgomery, and Delaware Counties. Share the address so we can confirm the project is within our service area.
