Updating Your Home in Bristol, PA
Construction in Bristol requires navigating two distinct worlds: Bristol Borough and Bristol Township.
A common mistake contractors make here is assuming the codes are identical. The Borough often has stricter requirements regarding exterior aesthetics, especially near the riverfront.
At R Angel Construction, we know the local landscape. Whether your home is near Mill Street or closer to Route 13, we understand the logistics of parking permits on narrow streets and "party walls" found in attached row homes.

Common Questions from Bristol Homeowners
Do you work on homes in the Bristol Historic District?
Yes. Renovating in the historic district often requires approval from the Historic Architectural Review Board (HARB). The industry standard process involves submitting detailed plans and material samples (like specific window types or siding styles) to ensure they match the historical period. We help navigate this submission process.
How do you handle renovations on attached row homes?
When working on a row home, we take extra precautions with the "party wall" (the shared wall). Whether we are roofing or framing, we ensure fire-separation codes are met and that your neighbor’s property is fully protected from debris or vibration during the build.
Can you install a bathroom on the first floor of an older home?
Absolutely. Many older Bristol homes were built with only one bathroom upstairs. We can identify the best location for a new powder room, typically utilizing space under a staircase or reconfiguring a pantry, and run the necessary new plumbing stacks to the basement.
