Mid-century colonials and ranches with good bones and dated interiors. Delpa updates them without erasing what made them worth buying.
Working in North Wilmington
Good houses that have not been touched since the seventies.
Much of North Wilmington and the surrounding Brandywine Hundred area was built through the post-war decades. The houses were built solidly, sit on generous lots, and are now a couple of renovations behind.
That is close to ideal remodeling territory: strong structure, awkward closed-off floor plans, original kitchens and baths, and exteriors reaching the end of their second roof. Delpa handles all of it under one contract.

The housing stock
What we build in North Wilmington.
The recurring request here is opening things up — removing the wall between a small kitchen and a formal dining room, and modernising baths that have not changed since the house was built.
The other half of the work is envelope: roofs, siding and whole-house window replacement on homes where the original materials have simply run out of life. Because Delpa does both, a kitchen project and the windows above it can be planned together rather than as two disconnected jobs a year apart.
Whole-house exteriors
Roofing, siding, trim and window replacement handled as one system — including whole-house window projects.

See all reviews“Quality workmanship, dependable and considerate is how we would describe Delpa Builders. We were pleasantly pleased with the outcome of a fairly large project that included all new windows, siding and trim work on our entire home.”

Local questions
Remodeling in North Wilmington, answered.
Yes — North Wilmington and the surrounding unincorporated areas north of the city are all within the regular service area, along with Claymont and the neighbourhoods toward the Pennsylvania line.
It is one of the most common projects in this part of the county. Whether the wall is load-bearing determines the structural work required, and that assessment happens before the quote so nothing is discovered mid-project.
Yes. Whole-house window projects are regular work — one Delaware home took twenty-three windows in a single project alongside new siding and trim.
