Before & after

Addition

An unused front porch becomes a room

The homeowners had an open front porch with three pillars that they rarely used. We enclosed it and finished it as part of the house, adding roughly 200 square feet of living space for the family.

Accessible bath

A shower you walk straight into

A curbless shower lets the homeowner step in and out without climbing over a ledge, with nothing to trip on. It's a smart choice for older homeowners or anyone who needs easier access.

Porch framing and flooring, rebuilt

Time and weather had taken their toll on this front porch. We replaced the framing and the flooring so the family can enjoy it again.

Open air, no bugs

This client wanted to keep the porch open to the breeze. We installed snap-on mosquito netting and upgraded the look of the porch interior.

The owner is the supervisor

His name is on the company. He's on your job, too.

Santilli Construction is owned and run by John Santilli. He started out as a carpenter, and that background shows up in the details: the framing you never see and the trim work you see every day.

We don't overbook. That's how John stays active on every project and why you get individual attention from start to finish.

“We are not happy with the result of your project unless you are.”

Questions

Before you call.

Who will actually be working on my house?

John Santilli supervises every project from start to finish. We don't overbook, so you get individual attention and the owner is involved on your job, not just at the sales visit.

Is there a charge for an estimate?

No. Estimates are no-obligation. We'll look at the space, talk through what you want, and explain our process up front so you know what to expect before any work begins.

What kinds of projects do you take on?

Kitchen remodels, bathroom renovations, finished basements and attics, additions and porch enclosures, decks and porches, siding, windows, doors and custom carpentry. If it improves how your home works, ask us.

Can you make a bathroom safer for an older parent or someone with limited mobility?

Yes. We build curbless showers you can walk straight into, with no step to climb over and no tripping hazard. It's one of the most useful upgrades for aging in place.

Where do you work?

We're based in West Chester and work throughout Chester, Delaware and Montgomery Counties, including the Main Line. If you're nearby and don't see your town listed, call and ask.

How long has Santilli Construction been in business?

Since 1996. Before that, John completed three years of carpentry vocational school and spent ten years working his way up at a general contractor.
