Northampton homes

Many Northampton borough homes share walls and have compact kitchens off the back. We plan plumbing and cabinetry around party walls and older layouts so the result feels open without moving what shouldn't move.
We frequently help Northampton homeowners open up compartmentalized layouts from the 1970s and 80s into modern, open-concept kitchen and entertaining spaces.

Northampton permits
Northampton kitchen remodeling permits — what to expect.
- Permit office
- Borough of Northampton Code Enforcement
- 1401 Laubach Ave, Northampton, PA 18067
- (610) 262-9833
- How the permit fee is set
- Set by borough or township ordinance under the PA Uniform Construction Code and calculated on the estimated cost of construction, so it scales with the job rather than being a flat ticket. We publish a figure only where we have transcribed that municipality's own schedule, and we have not yet done so here — call the office above, or ask us and we will price the permits as part of your estimate.
- We have not transcribed Northampton's own fee schedule yet, so there is deliberately no dollar figure here. A number we have not read off the municipality's document is a guess, and a wrong permit figure is worse for your budget than an honest gap — the office above will quote it, and we pull the permit either way.
- Permit review window
- Pennsylvania sets the ceiling, not the township: under the Uniform Construction Code a building code official must grant or deny a residential permit application within 15 business days of the filing date, or the application is deemed approved (34 Pa. Code § 403.63(a)). That drops to 5 business days where the drawings were prepared and certified by a Pennsylvania-licensed design professional, and only a written agreement with the applicant can extend it. This municipality publishes no review standard of its own, so we quote the statute rather than a number nobody has verified — and we file the application and follow it through either way.
Most Northampton kitchen remodels involving plumbing, electrical or structural changes require a building permit. VM Power Kitchen & Bath pulls permits, schedules inspections and coordinates compliance as part of every design-build contract — you don't navigate the office alone.
