Commercial Remodeling in Orlando & Central Florida

Yes — we do commercial work

Karhan Construction & Remodeling is best known for residential work in Orlando, but our license class and our crews cover commercial projects too. If you manage an office, a professional suite, or a community association property in Central Florida, you can hire us the same way a homeowner does — one licensed contractor, a fixed-price written contract, and permits pulled in our name.

The license difference most people never check

Not every remodeling contractor can legally take commercial work, and the difference is invisible unless you look it up. Florida issues several construction license classes:

• Certified Residential Contractor (CRC) — limited to one-, two-, and three-family residences. No commercial.
• Certified Building Contractor (CBC) — commercial and residential, but capped at three stories.
• Certified General Contractor (CGC) — the broadest class: any structure, any height, any occupancy, and valid in every jurisdiction in the state.

Karhan holds the CGC. That's why we can move between a kitchen remodel and an office build-out without handing your project to a different company — and it's worth verifying for any contractor you consider, on the state's official DBPR license portal.

Office & professional build-outs

Interior build-outs and renovations for offices, professional suites, and medical and dental practices — reconfiguring a floor plan, upgrading finishes, building out a space for a new tenant or a new use. These projects live or die on scheduling and coordination: a business still has to run while the work happens, and a landlord, tenant, and property manager may all need to sign off on the same scope.

We plan the phasing before demo day — after-hours and weekend work where it makes sense, sealed work zones and protected paths where it doesn't — so your team keeps working and your clients keep coming in.

HOA & community amenities

Clubhouses, shared facilities, pool decks and enclosures, and the common areas that residents actually judge a community by. We already work inside HOA rules on the residential side across Lake Nona, Dr. Phillips, Windermere, and Celebration, so board-approval and architectural-review paperwork is familiar ground rather than a surprise mid-project.

Community projects also come with a governance reality: boards change, budgets are voted on, and residents watch the work daily. A fixed-price written contract and a single point of contact from the first call to the final walkthrough matter more here, not less.

How commercial projects run with us

The process mirrors our residential process, with the coordination that commercial work demands layered on:

1. Consultation and walkthrough — your scope, your operating hours, and who has to approve what.
2. Fixed-price written contract — a detailed scope and a real number, not an hourly meter running against your budget.
3. Permits in our name — we file with the building department for your jurisdiction and meet the inspector on site at every stage. See our Central Florida permit guide for how that works, office by office.
4. Phased construction — sequenced around your operations, with the site left clean and secure at the end of every day.
5. Walkthrough and punch list — we're not finished until you sign off.
