Home Remodeling Contractor in Lake Nona, FL

Serving Lake Nona Since 2021

Lake Nona is one of Orlando's newest large-scale developments — most of the housing stock is post-2010, with active construction still ongoing in the southern and eastern portions. The work we do here is different from what we do in older Orlando neighborhoods: less structural surprise, more finish-out and personalization. New homeowners want to make the builder-grade house theirs without ripping out finishes that are still under warranty.

We've completed projects throughout Laureate Park, Eagle Creek, VillageWalk, Storey Park, Estates at Lake Nona, and the Medical City-area communities. New to a recent build here? Read our guide to renovating a Lake Nona new build.

Our Services in Lake Nona

• Kitchen Remodeling — Taking the builder's stock kitchen past base spec: replacing flat-panel cabinet fronts, stepping up from entry-level quartz to a better stone slab, and adding the island or walk-in pantry the standard floor plan left out
• Bathroom Renovation — Upgrading builder-grade primary baths beyond the included finish package — custom vanities, a freestanding tub, a curbless walk-in shower, and heated tile in place of the base flooring
• Custom Closets & Built-Ins — Finishing out the wire-shelf closets, mudroom drop-zones, and bare pantries that newer Laureate Park and Medical City floor plans ship with, using millwork sized to the actual space
• Pool Enclosures — Screen enclosures and lanai screening built over the open pool decks and covered lanais of newer Lake Nona homes — engineered and permitted for Central Florida wind load
• Home Additions — Where the compact master-planned lots and setbacks allow: sunrooms, lanai extensions, and detached ADUs designed to stay inside the community's approved elevations
• Whole Home Renovation — A full personalization pass for buyers of a resale Lake Nona home — making a recent build feel custom without waiting on new construction

Why Lake Nona Homeowners Choose Karhan

Lake Nona communities have strict HOA requirements and specific architectural review processes — exterior changes go through a board, and that approval is separate from (and in addition to) your building permit. We do the documentation, attend the meetings if needed, and make sure the work matches what's on file. We know how the production builders in these communities frame and run their mechanicals, so we know what's behind the wall before we open it.

Fixed-price contracts. Permitting handled for you through City of Orlando Permitting Services — Lake Nona sits inside Orlando city limits. One project manager from start to walkthrough.

Frequently Asked Questions — Lake Nona

Do you handle Lake Nona HOA / ARB submissions?

Yes. Most Lake Nona communities — Laureate Park, Eagle Creek, VillageWalk, Storey Park — require Architectural Review Board (ARB) approval before exterior changes like additions, screen enclosures, pools, and elevation or paint changes. ARB approval is separate from, and in addition to, your City of Orlando building permit. We provide the documentation, drawings, and material spec for the submission and adjust based on board feedback.

What ZIP codes do you cover in the Lake Nona area?

Lake Nona is primarily 32827, extending into 32832 and 32824. We cover all of them plus the surrounding southeast Orange County area including Lake Hart and Moss Park.

Will my new-construction warranty cover any of this work?

Generally no — warranty work is the responsibility of your builder, and any modifications you make can void portions of it. We'll discuss what makes sense to do now versus what's worth waiting until the structural / mechanical warranty period expires.
