Make Your Allentown House Feel Like Home Again
Allentown homes are full of character, but older layouts don’t always keep up with modern life.
A well-planned remodel can raise your resale value, make daily routines easier, and help you enjoy every room you own.
At Cornel Construction, we help Lehigh Valley families create homes they’re proud to come back to.
Our Allentown Remodeling Services

Kitchen Remodeling
Give your Allentown kitchen a layout that fits the way you cook and gather. We update cabinetry, countertops, lighting, and storage to create a space that works for busy weeknights and holiday hosting alike.

BATHROOM Remodeling
Replace worn tile and cramped layouts with a bathroom built for comfort. From quick guest bath updates to complete primary suite makeovers, we install showers, vanities, and fixtures designed for easy everyday use.

Basement Finishing
That unused space below your Allentown home could become a family room, home gym, or guest suite. We take care of framing, insulation, moisture protection, and finishes to create a comfortable lower level you'll actually use.

Home Additions
Need another bedroom, a bigger family room, or a bright sunroom? Our Allentown home additions give you the space you need while matching the style of your existing home, so you never have to leave your neighborhood.

Interior Services
Small changes can make a big impact. Our interior team handles flooring, painting, drywall, cabinet refacing, backsplash installation, and window and door replacement to refresh one room or your entire Allentown home.

Hardscaping Services
Make the most of your backyard with a new patio, custom deck, or backyard sauna. Our outdoor projects give Allentown families a durable, inviting place to unwind, grill, and host friends during the warmer months.
Kitchen Remodeling in Allentown
Plenty of Allentown kitchens were designed for a different era, with closed-off layouts, limited counter space, and cabinets that never seem deep enough. If yours feels more like a hallway than a gathering place, it may be time for a change.
Our kitchen remodeling team starts by learning how your household cooks and entertains. From there, we plan a layout that improves traffic flow and gives you room to work.
We’ll also help you pick finishes that hold up to daily use, like quartz counters, soft-close drawers, and under-cabinet lighting that makes evening meal prep easier.
Bathroom Remodeling in Allentown
Cracked grout, dated vanities, and dim lighting can make any bathroom feel tired. A thoughtful update turns it into a room you actually enjoy starting your day in.
We offer bathroom renovations of every size, from swapping fixtures in a powder room to building a walk-in shower with custom tile in your primary bath.
Behind the walls, we take care of waterproofing and ventilation so moisture doesn’t become a problem later. The result is a bathroom that looks great and lasts.

Basement Finishing in Allentown
If your basement is mostly storage boxes and laundry, you’re missing out on valuable living space. Finishing it is one of the most practical ways to add room without changing your home’s footprint.
Our approach to finishing basements is built around what you need most, whether that’s a kids’ playroom, a quiet office, a home gym, or a guest suite.
Older homes in the Lehigh Valley can deal with dampness below grade, so we put moisture control and proper insulation first. That way, your new space stays dry and comfortable all year.
Home Additions in Allentown
Outgrowing your house doesn’t have to mean leaving a neighborhood you love. Adding on lets you stay close to your schools, neighbors, and routines while gaining the room you need.
We design and build home additions that match your existing rooflines, siding, and interior finishes, so the new space looks like part of the original house.
Our team handles the permits, inspections, and scheduling, keeping you informed at every stage. Whether it’s a bedroom, a sunroom, or a second story, we work to keep disruption to a minimum.

Interior Upgrades for Allentown Homes
Sometimes a few focused updates are all it takes to make your home feel new again. These projects are often faster and more budget friendly than a full remodel.
Worn carpet or scratched floors? We install new flooring in hardwood, luxury vinyl plank, and tile. Our interior painting service brightens rooms with careful prep and clean lines, and our crew handles drywall repair and installation for everything from small cracks to water-damaged ceilings.
In the kitchen, refacing your cabinets delivers a fresh look without the cost of new boxes, and a custom backsplash ties the whole room together. We also offer window and door replacement to cut drafts, lower energy bills, and improve curb appeal.
Hardscaping Services in Allentown
A well-designed backyard gives you one more room to enjoy, without ever adding on to your house. It’s the perfect spot for weekend barbecues and quiet evenings outside.
Our hardscaping projects start with how you want to use your yard. A paver or stone patio creates a low-maintenance space for outdoor dining, while a custom-built deck adds warmth and character to your home’s exterior.
Want something you can enjoy year-round? A backyard sauna offers a relaxing retreat, even in the middle of a cold Lehigh Valley winter.
