Home Remodeling Contractor in College Park, FL

Serving College Park Since 2021

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. For a deeper look at what to expect, read our full guide to remodeling a College Park bungalow.

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.

Our Services in College Park

• Kitchen Remodeling — Bungalow kitchens are usually small and walled-off; the most-requested project is opening a wall to the dining room while preserving the period detail elsewhere
• Bathroom Renovation — Original tile baths refreshed with sympathetic finishes, plus modern plumbing and waterproofing behind the walls (see a real College Park bathroom transformation, wood rot and all)
• Home Additions — Rear additions, primary suite additions, and ADUs that respect the front-elevation streetscape
• Whole Home Renovation — Foundation-up restorations on original-condition College Park homes
• Pool Enclosures — For homes with backyard pools, screen enclosures designed around the existing structure

Why College Park Homeowners Choose Karhan

Pre-war housing punishes contractors who don't know what they're doing — surprises behind every wall, and structural opinions that need engineering review before a single stud comes out. We've done enough work in College Park to know when to call the structural engineer, when a wall is actually carrying load, and when to leave a wall closed because what's behind it isn't worth opening.

Every project: fixed-price contract, permitting handled for you through City of Orlando Permitting Services, weekly site walks, and a project manager who picks up the phone.

Frequently Asked Questions — College Park

Is College Park a historic district? Do I need special approval to remodel?

No. College Park is not one of the City of Orlando's six historic preservation districts — those are Downtown, Lake Cherokee, Lake Copeland, Lake Eola Heights, Lake Lawsona, and Colonialtown South — so a College Park remodel does not require a Certificate of Appropriateness. You still need standard City of Orlando building permits, and we handle that process for you. If your home is in one of the designated districts, we handle the Historic Preservation Board documentation as part of the job.

What ZIP code is College Park in?

College Park is mostly 32804, extending into 32803 along the eastern edge.

What about the original wood floors / windows?

If the originals can be saved, we save them. Refinish over replace, repair over rip-out. We have the trades for both.

What remodeling services do you offer in College Park?

Kitchen remodeling, bathroom renovation, home additions and ADUs, whole-home restorations, and pool enclosures — all handled by one contractor with permitting handled for you through City of Orlando Permitting Services.

Do you handle small home repairs in College Park?

Our focus is remodeling-scale work — kitchens, baths, additions, structural repairs, and full renovations. For a single small repair, a handyman service is usually the better fit; but if that repair is part of a bigger project, or you're not sure which it is, call us and we'll give you a straight answer.
