King of Prussia sits just across the Schuylkill from us. We're based in Eagleville, and the drive to most King of Prussia neighborhoods takes about twenty minutes. Pisasale & Son's is a family-owned, licensed and insured remodeling contractor (PA HIC #186102). Kitchens and bathrooms are the core of what we do here, and one crew handles the whole job, from demo to the last coat of paint.
Kitchen remodeling in King of Prussia's split-levels and colonials
King of Prussia is a census-designated place within Upper Merion Township, and most of its homes went up after the highways arrived. From the 1950s through the 1980s, builders filled the neighborhoods around Candlebrook, Belmont Terrace and Gulph Mills with split-levels, ranches and colonials. Many of those kitchens are still close to their original layout: closed off from the living room, with soffits over the upper cabinets and not much counter space.
In a split-level, the kitchen usually sits on the middle level beside the living and dining rooms, which makes it a good candidate for opening up. We check whether the wall is carrying load before anything comes down. If it is, we install an engineered beam and pull the permit. If you'd rather keep the layout, new cabinets, quartz or granite counters, a tile backsplash and new flooring in the same footprint is the most cost-effective kitchen there is. See kitchen remodeling for the full scope.
Bathroom remodeling for 1960s–80s King of Prussia homes
Most homes here have a hall bath and a small primary bath, and many still have original tile or a fiberglass tub surround. The updates we handle most for homes of this age are tile tub surrounds with recessed niches, tub-to-shower conversions, walk-in showers with a proper waterproofing membrane under the tile, new vanities, and tile floors. Everything is planned for the space you actually have. See bathroom remodeling for details.
Faucets, toilets, vanities and light fixtures replaced like for like are part of our work. New rough-in is done with licensed trade partners we coordinate, and it's in your written estimate. Request yours below.

Building permits in Upper Merion Township
King of Prussia doesn't have its own government, so permits go through Upper Merion Township. The township's permits desk is at 175 W. Valley Forge Road and handles all construction and use permits, with fees due when you apply. For bigger projects such as an addition above the first story, the township asks for drawings sealed by an engineer or architect and a plot plan showing distances to property lines and any easements.
Cosmetic kitchen and bath work generally doesn't need a permit. Structural changes, new plumbing or electrical, and decks usually do. When your project needs one, we pull it and schedule the inspections. The township's residential permits page has the current forms.

King of Prussia remodeling questions
Who issues remodeling permits in King of Prussia?
Upper Merion Township. King of Prussia is part of the township, so permits go through its permits desk at 175 W. Valley Forge Road. Cosmetic kitchen and bath work generally doesn't need one; structural, plumbing, electrical and deck work usually does. We pull the permit and schedule inspections when it's needed.
Can you open up the kitchen in a split-level?
Often, yes. We first confirm whether the wall between the kitchen and living or dining room is load-bearing. If it is, we install an engineered beam and pull the permit; if it isn't, removal is usually a day of work plus patching.
Can you convert my tub to a walk-in shower?
Yes. We remove the tub, build a waterproofed shower pan and walls, and tile it with a niche and a low curb or a curbless entry where the floor allows. If the drain needs to move, a licensed plumber we coordinate handles that part.
Do you work in the rest of Upper Merion and nearby towns?
Yes. We work across Upper Merion Township, including Gulph Mills and the Valley Forge side, plus Bridgeport and the surrounding towns. See our service areas for the full list.
