Collegeville homes: borough classics and newer developments
A Collegeville address covers two very different kinds of house. In the Borough of Collegeville and neighboring Trappe, older homes line Main Street and the side streets near Ursinus College and the Perkiomen Creek, with some dating back well over a century. The borough grew quickly between 1950 and 1970, so there's a solid layer of mid-century homes too. Around them, in Upper Providence, Perkiomen, Skippack and Lower Providence, most homes come from subdivisions built from the 1980s onward.
Each type has its own common projects. Older borough homes often need kitchens and baths brought up to date without losing their character, plus new floors over tired hardwood and porch work. In the newer developments, the original builder-grade kitchens and bathrooms are now twenty to thirty years old, many basements were left unfinished, and first-generation wood decks are near the end of their life.

The borough requires a building permit for renovations, alterations, structural work, decks and demolition. Its code exempts work like replacing flooring, replacing trim, and swapping a window or door in the same opening. The borough's permit applications page has the current forms. Whichever office covers your home, we pull the permit and schedule the inspections.

Collegeville remodeling questions
My address says Collegeville. Which township handles my permit?
It depends on where the house actually sits. 19426 includes the Borough of Collegeville, the Borough of Trappe, and parts of Upper Providence, Lower Providence, Perkiomen, Skippack and Worcester townships. We confirm your municipality before the estimate and pull the permit with the right office.
Do I need a permit to build or replace a deck in Collegeville?
In the Borough of Collegeville, yes. Decks are on the borough's list of work that needs a building permit, and the surrounding townships generally require one for attached decks too. We handle the drawings and the permit as part of the job.
Can you finish the basement in a newer home?
Yes. Basements in newer homes are often good candidates: poured walls, decent ceiling height, and room for a family room, guest room or office. We check for moisture first, then frame, insulate, drywall and floor it, and pull the permit the finished space needs.
