About us
Philly Green Building is a Philadelphia, Pennsylvania-based full-service general contractor led by CEO Sasha, specialising in historic renovations, whole-house remodels, design-forward kitchens and baths, and masonry/brick-pointing restoration for the city's older rowhouses and historic buildings. The company describes historic renovation as 'business as usual,' regularly coordinating with Philadelphia's historical commissions and collaborating with leading vendors and manufacturers of traditional heritage building products. Philly Green Building's central sustainability philosophy is that 'there's nothing more sustainable than a building that's already built' — the company's stated specialty is reviving and extending the life of dilapidated older structures rather than replacing them, guided by a deep understanding of how older building assemblies breathe and how moisture moves through them, so that modernisation upgrades don't inadvertently shorten a historic home's remaining lifespan. The company works with specialist lime-mortar restoration experts for masonry work appropriate to older brick and stone construction, and is an advocate for heat-pump technology and properly detailed building envelopes as the practical foundation of genuine sustainability — arguing that durable, well-thought-out construction, not just smart thermostats or composting toilets, is what makes a renovation truly sustainable. The company also operates 'Green Building Network,' a content platform producing educational video content (including a YouTube channel) aimed at homeowners interested in saving older buildings, understanding heritage-appropriate materials and methods, and rethinking the built environment more broadly — extending the company's sustainability advocacy beyond its direct client projects. Philly Green Building serves Philadelphia and the Main Line, Pennsylvania, United States.
