ARDMORE & WYNNEWOOD
Walkable Main Line village life, stone colonials, and the country's first suburban shopping center
GENERAL CONTRACTING & RENOVATIONS IN ARDMORE & WYNNEWOOD
Ardmore and Wynnewood are the most walkable stretch of the Main Line, where the village density of Suburban Square and Lancaster Avenue meets the quiet residential blocks of stone colonials and tudors behind it. The homes here were built for the first wave of Main Line commuters, schist and stucco, slate roofs, and chestnut trim, and they hold up well when the work respects the original. Renovating in Ardmore is a balance of village logistics and residential craft. Tighter lots, closer neighbors, and a downtown that means staging and deliveries have to be planned around foot traffic. Eliteco Builders handles both the craft and the logistics.
Historical Structure & Materials
Ardmore and Wynnewood homes lean on Wissahickon schist, stucco, and half-timbered tudor, with slate roofs and leaded windows. Foundations are stone, basements run damp, and the original mechanicals were sized for a different era. The walkable village density means dust, noise, and staging all have to be managed around neighbors and foot traffic every day of the job.

ARDMORE & WYNNEWOOD RENOVATION FAQ
Can you renovate an Ardmore stone colonial without losing its character?
Yes. We preserve the schist, the slate, and the chestnut trim that make these homes Main Line, and we modernize the mechanicals, kitchen, and baths inside that shell so the house reads as original from the curb.
How do you handle staging on walkable village blocks?
We plan dumpster placement, parking, and work hours around foot traffic and close neighbors, and we contain dust and noise so the block stays livable while we work.
Can a 203(k) cover an Ardmore fixer-upper?
Yes. We write lender-compliant line-item bids and coordinate draw inspections for buyers modernizing older Main Line homes.
