Whole-house renovation in Windermere
In Windermere the house has to work indoors and out on the same axis. Kitchen, lanai, outdoor kitchen, and wet room — one drawing, one crew.

The existing house
Lake-community houses fail when the kitchen, the rear elevation, and the outdoor kitchen are bid as three jobs. You get a new island that does not open to the water, a grill on a patio that was never drained, and a bath that still steps up. The house never quite faces the lake.
One drawing. One crew.
We walk the existing house and the water. Design-build keeps structure, millwork, and the outdoor kitchen on one permit and one schedule. The first visit is free. Custom homes are available when the lot calls for a new house — most Windermere work we take is a renovation of what is already there.
