Where we work
CIG Construction works in Philadelphia and the suburbs within about 25 miles of the city — Montgomery, Delaware and Bucks counties, including the Main Line. If your address is near the edge of that circle, ask. We’ll tell you straight whether it makes sense for us to come out.
Philadelphia neighborhoods
The city is where most of our work is. Rowhomes, twins, converted trinities, corner stores turned into offices — we’re in these houses every week. If your neighborhood isn’t listed, we almost certainly still cover it; the list is just the places we’re asked about most.

- Swarthmore
- Lansdowne
Bucks County
Lower and Central Bucks along I-95 and Route 1. Levittown-era ranches and Cape Cods, newer developments, and older homes in the boroughs. Doylestown is about the far edge of where we regularly travel.

We know how Philly houses are built
Drywall and finishing is a local trade whether anyone admits it or not. A crew that works in newer suburbs all year will be surprised by a 1910 rowhome. We’re not.
- Rowhome plaster — three-coat plaster over wood lath, often with a century of paint on it. We know when to skim, when to patch and when a wall genuinely needs to come down.
- Party walls — the brick wall you share with your neighbor moves, cracks and holds moisture differently than a framed wall. We finish it so it stays finished.
- Parking, permits and street logistics — permit parking, no-loading blocks, tight stairwells and no yard for a dumpster. We plan around it so you don’t get a ticket or a mess on the sidewalk.
- Old lath, stone foundations, uneven framing — we shim, float and furr before we hang, because a flat wall starts underneath.
- City permits — when a job needs L&I, we pull it. When it doesn’t, we tell you.
