One contractor, one contract

What a real remodeling contractor does for you

Most homeowners in The Villages do not want to become a project manager. They want one licensed remodeler who owns the outcome. That is the difference between hiring a remodeling contractor and hiring five separate trades and hoping they coordinate themselves.

When you hire us, one company holds the contract, pulls the permits when they are required, schedules the trades in the right order, handles inspections, and answers the phone when something needs a decision. There is one point of contact from the first walkthrough to the final punch list, and one warranty at the end of it.

One point of contact

You get a single number to call. We coordinate demolition, plumbing, electrical, drywall, tile, cabinetry, and finish work so the trades are not tripping over each other or waiting on someone else.

One written scope

Selections, allowances, and exclusions are written down before demolition starts. That is how you avoid the mid-project conversation where the price moves and nobody remembers what was agreed.

One warranty

Our workmanship warranty covers the project for one year after completion. You are not chasing three different subcontractors to figure out whose work failed.

Bathrooms

Bathroom remodeling in The Villages

Bathroom remodeling is the most requested work we do in this community, and most of it falls into one of three buckets. Villages baths are usually well built but dated, with a garden tub nobody uses, a low vanity, and a shower with a curb that becomes a problem before anyone wants to admit it.

Walk-in and curbless showers

Tub to shower conversions with proper pan work, a full waterproofing membrane, and tile that runs to the ceiling. Curbless entries are set by lowering the framing, not by ramping the floor, so the transition is flat and the drainage still works.

$12,000 to $25,000

Bathtub installation

Freestanding soaking tubs, alcove tub replacements, and tub and shower combinations for guest baths. Correct framing and drain rough-in, and the waterproofing gets inspected before a single tile goes on the wall.

Quoted with the bath

Full bathroom renovations

Down to the studs. New tile, vanity, lighting, exhaust, fixtures, and where the layout allows it, a wider door opening and a reworked footprint that makes the room feel twice its size.

$14,000 to $32,000

Kitchens

Kitchen remodeling in The Villages

Villages kitchens are almost always workable and almost never current. The cabinet boxes are often sound, the layout usually has one wall in the wrong place, and the finishes date the whole house. How far you take it is a budget decision, not a construction one, and we will tell you honestly which tier your kitchen actually needs.

Cabinets and cabinet refacing

New cabinetry, refacing with new doors and drawer fronts on sound boxes, soft-close hardware, pull-outs, and pantry systems. Refacing saves real money when the boxes are solid and the layout is staying put.

$12,000 to $28,000 refresh

Countertops and backsplash

Quartz, granite, and solid surface counters templated and installed by our fabricator, with backsplash tile, undermount sinks, and the plumbing and electrical brought up to current code behind the wall.

Included in scope

Layout changes and full renovations

Removing a wall between the kitchen and the living area, relocating the island, moving plumbing and gas, adding recessed lighting, and reworking the whole flow. This is where a licensed contractor matters, because load paths are involved.

$28,000 to $60,000+

We publish a full kitchen remodel cost guide for The Villages with what drives each number and where the money actually goes.

More square footage

Room additions, lanai enclosures, and home extensions

Villages lots are tight and setbacks are enforced, so with room additions the feasibility conversation comes before the design conversation. We look at the survey, the setbacks, and the district requirements first, then talk about what the room should be. That order saves people a lot of wasted design money.

Lanai enclosures

Converting a lanai into true conditioned living space: insulated walls, permanent impact-rated windows, electrical, flooring, and HVAC either tied into the existing system or supplemented with a mini-split. This is not a screen room and it is not vinyl panels. It is a permitted structural conversion, and it is usually the cheapest square footage available on a Villages lot because the slab and roof already exist.

Room additions and home extensions

Bumping out a bedroom, adding a den or office, extending the great room, or building a full in-law suite with its own bath. New foundation, framing, roof tie-in, and mechanicals, engineered and permitted. On a lot that will not support a footprint addition, a garage conversion often gets you the same room for less money and less schedule risk.

Design build

Design build remodeling: one team from drawing to final walkthrough

Design build means the company that designs your project is the company that builds it. You are not paying a designer for a plan, then discovering during bidding that no contractor will build it for anything near that number. The design and the budget move together from the first meeting, which is the entire point.

For a Villages remodel that usually looks like this: we measure the existing space, produce the drawings needed for permitting, price the scope against real current costs, and revise until the plan and the budget agree. Then the same company builds it. One contract, one schedule, one party responsible if the drawing and the field do not match.

Design phase

Measurements, layout options, selections, and the drawing set the building department needs. You see the plan and the number at the same time.

Pre-construction

Permits pulled when required, trades scheduled, materials ordered and staged before demolition so the job does not stall waiting on a cabinet delivery.

Build phase

One superintendent running the sequence, inspections scheduled by us, and a walkthrough with a written punch list before final payment.

Aging in place

Aging-in-place remodeling that does not look like a hospital

This is The Villages, so let us be direct about it. A large share of the remodeling work here is done so people can stay in their home comfortably for another twenty years. Done badly, that means grab bars that look institutional and a shower with a rubber threshold. Done properly, it looks like a nicer bathroom that happens to be safer.

Curbless showers

A flat entry set into the framing, a linear drain, and a bench that reads as design rather than equipment. Wide enough for a walker or a shower chair without announcing it.

Reinforced walls and fixtures

Blocking installed behind the tile so grab bars can be added now or in five years, in a finish that matches the rest of the fixtures. Comfort-height toilets and vanities, and lever handles throughout.

Access and circulation

Widened door openings, threshold transitions leveled, better task lighting, and slip-resistant tile selected for coefficient of friction rather than just how it looks in the showroom.

Where we work

The villages we work in

The Villages is not one place to the people who live in it. A 1990s home in Duval is a different remodel than a 2021 home in Marsh Bend, and we quote them differently. We work throughout the community, north and south of CR-466 and down through the newer south-side villages.

Budget

What remodeling costs in The Villages

Nobody likes a contractor who will not talk about money until the third meeting. These are the ranges our Villages projects actually land in. Your number depends on size, selections, and how much has to move behind the walls, but this is a real starting point rather than a placeholder.

Custom home on your lotPlans, engineering, permitting, and full construction$210 to $325+ per sq ft

Custom home pricing is per conditioned square foot and excludes garages, lanais, and porches. Standard custom runs $210 to $250, upgraded custom $250 to $325, and high-end starts at $325.

Financing. Most of our Villages clients could write the check and choose not to, because liquidating investments to pay for a remodel is rarely the right move. We offer financing options, and it is worth having that conversation before you finalize a scope. See financing options →

Licensing

Are you looking for a general contractor?

When Villages homeowners search for a general contractor, they usually mean one licensed company that runs the entire project instead of hiring a tile guy, a plumber, and a cabinet installer separately and coordinating them yourself. That is exactly what we do, and it is worth being precise about what we hold.

Our license is CBC1268994, a Florida Certified Building Contractor license. That covers residential work of unlimited size and commercial buildings up to three stories. Every remodel, room addition, lanai enclosure, whole-home renovation, and build-out described on this page falls inside that scope. We would rather tell you exactly what we are licensed for than let you assume.

The reason this matters here more than most places: unlicensed crews target retirement communities specifically, and they are good at sounding legitimate. Whoever you hire, look them up first.

Licensed for The Villages. Verifiable by you.

Villages homeowners have seen what happens when unlicensed crews take deposits and disappear. Verify license CBC1268994 on MyFloridaLicense.com before hiring anyone, including us.

Questions from The Villages homeowners

Do you do tub-to-shower conversions in The Villages?

Constantly. Walk-in and curbless shower conversions are among our most requested Villages projects, built watertight with proper pan work and full waterproofing behind the tile. Most conversions run $12,000 to $25,000 depending on the size of the opening, the tile selection, and whether the plumbing has to move. We published a full breakdown of what a tub to shower conversion costs in The Villages, including every pricing tier.

Are you a general contractor?

When Villages homeowners search for a general contractor, they usually mean one licensed company that runs the entire project instead of hiring a tile guy, a plumber, and a cabinet installer separately. That is exactly what we do. Our actual license is CBC1268994, a Florida Certified Building Contractor license, which covers residential work of unlimited size and commercial buildings up to three stories. Every remodel, addition, lanai enclosure, and build-out described on this page falls inside that scope.

Can you enclose my lanai?

Yes. We convert lanais into true conditioned living space with insulated walls, permanent windows, electrical, and HVAC tied into or supplementing your existing system. That is different from a screen room or a vinyl panel enclosure. A conditioned lanai enclosure is a permitted structural project and it changes how the space is treated for insurance and appraisal purposes, which is usually the point.

Do you understand deed compliance in The Villages?

We plan projects with community standards in mind and build to what the codes and your district require. Exterior changes, additions, and anything that alters the footprint or the elevation generally need approval before work starts, and the requirements are not identical across every village. We walk that step with you rather than leaving you to discover it after demolition.

Which villages do you work in?

All of them. We work throughout The Villages including Greenleaf, Fenney, DeLuna, Chitty Chatty, Marsh Bend, Hammock at Fenney, Dabney, Richmond, and the established villages north of CR-466 such as Duval, Hemingway, Sunset Pointe, and Poinciana. Older north-side homes and newer south-side homes need different approaches, and we quote them differently.

What does a kitchen remodel cost in The Villages?

A cosmetic refresh with new cabinet fronts, countertops, backsplash, and fixtures typically runs $12,000 to $28,000. A full kitchen remodel with new cabinetry, appliances, lighting, and flooring generally runs $28,000 to $60,000. Custom kitchens with layout changes, wall removal, or high-end cabinetry start around $60,000 and go up from there. Our full kitchen cost guide for The Villages breaks down what drives each number.

What does a bathroom remodel cost in The Villages?

A guest bath refresh generally runs $5,000 to $14,000. A full bathroom remodel down to the studs with new tile, vanity, and fixtures typically runs $14,000 to $32,000. A primary suite bath with a custom shower, freestanding tub, or expanded footprint starts around $32,000. Tub to shower conversions sit in the $12,000 to $25,000 range.

Can you install a bathtub, or only showers?

Both. Most of our Villages work goes the other direction, replacing a tub with a walk-in shower, but bathtub installation is regular work for us. Freestanding soaking tubs, alcove replacements, and tub and shower combinations in guest baths all get done the same way: proper framing, correct drain rough-in, and waterproofing that is inspected before tile goes on.

Do you offer financing for Villages remodels?

Yes. We offer financing options so a project can move forward without liquidating investments or waiting on a home equity draw. Terms depend on the amount and on your credit, and it is worth having that conversation before you finalize a scope, because it often changes what tier of finishes makes sense. Details are on our financing page.

Do you build room additions in The Villages?

Yes. Room additions, home extensions, and in-law suites are core work for us. Villages lots are tight and setbacks are enforced, so the feasibility conversation happens before the design conversation. Where a footprint addition is not possible, a lanai enclosure or a garage conversion often gets you the same square footage for less money and less schedule risk.
