Structural Repairs in Montgomery County

Lower Merion’s residential building-permit checklist calls for sealed or signed details for structural work, with an architectural seal acceptable on that checklist. The Township’s current residential guidance also states that plans for structural alterations must be sealed by an Architect or Professional Engineer licensed in Pennsylvania. The exact submission still depends on the defined work, so the permit packet should be confirmed with Lower Merion before filing.

Yes! We take extra care with containment, protection, and cleanup.

Yes. NK Construction & Design can work on party-wall conditions in Philadelphia rowhomes and other attached properties. Depending on the project, this may involve structural repairs, stabilization, reinforcement, masonry work, framing, beam or support installation, or work associated with remodeling and structural alterations.

Party-wall work needs to be evaluated in the context of the existing building and the neighboring structure because the wall may serve structural, fire-separation, weather-protection, or other functions. NK reviews the conditions and project scope before determining the appropriate repair or construction approach.

Where permits, engineering, inspections, or coordination with adjoining-property conditions are required, those requirements are addressed as part of project planning.

For a basement remodel in a rowhome or twin, NK checks shared party walls for loose mortar, cracks and moisture and plans appropriate repointing and moisture treatment where needed. Structural changes or underpinning along the shared wall require engineering and careful sequencing that accounts for the neighboring foundation. The assessment determines how neighboring property is protected; it is not a promise of no impact.
