Home Remodeling Contractor in College Park, FL

Serving College Park Since 2010

College Park is one of the most distinctive submarkets in Orlando — pre-war bungalows, mid-century ranches, oak canopy streets, and a walkable Edgewater Drive corridor. Working on a 1920s College Park bungalow is nothing like working on a Lake Nona new build. Different structural assumptions, different mechanical systems behind the wall, different permit considerations. We've done enough projects here to know what we'll find before we open the wall.

Common conditions we've worked through in College Park homes: knob-and-tube wiring, plaster-and-lath walls, original cast-iron drain stacks, sloped subfloors over compromised pier-and-beam, original single-pane wood windows, asbestos floor tile under three layers of vinyl. None of it is unfixable; all of it is invisible until you start.

Why College Park Homeowners Choose Karhan

Pre-war housing punishes contractors who don't know what they're doing — surprises behind every wall, structural opinions that need engineering review, permit paths that depend on whether the property sits in a historic district overlay. We've done enough work in College Park to know when to call the structural engineer, when to request a Landmark Preservation Board review, and when to leave a wall closed because what's behind it isn't worth opening.

Every project: fixed-price contract, permits in our name (CGC1513681) through City of Orlando Permitting Services, weekly site walks, and a project manager who picks up the phone.
