Notes from the Maitland studio on planning, design, and build reality — remodeling answers and project stories from KBF Design Gallery, the Central Florida design-build firm.
The best remodeling company for your home is not the one with the prettiest gallery. Compare licence, design process, selection support, warranty and how changes get priced – all of it checkable before you sign.
A whole-home remodel works best when the major decisions are made before construction starts, not discovered room by room.
KBF Design Gallery has won Silver in the 48th annual Qualified Remodeler Master Design Awards for a Winter Park whole-home renovation. See the before and after photos of A Childhood Home, Reimagined.
Adding square footage in Orlando is not just a bigger remodel. It is a structural, permitted, design-build decision that should start with use, site conditions, engineering, budget and the value of staying in the home.
A walkthrough of a completed whole-home remodel in Orlando: a reworked kitchen, the primary and pool bathrooms, a slatted wood entertainment wall, and new floors throughout, with before and after photos of each.
Most older Central Florida homes are worth saving — the slab and shell are usually their best assets. Here’s how the renovate-or-rebuild decision actually gets made, including when we advise rebuilding.
A design retainer buys the project before it exists – on paper, where it’s still cheap to be wrong. What the design phase actually delivers, why the price honestly comes second, and the Windermere wall that proves the sequencing.
An appliance spec sheet is a structural document. The big hood needs a duct path through real framing, induction needs amperage your panel may not have, and the steam oven’s circuit has to live somewhere – sometimes in the cabinet next door.
Remodeling regret usually starts before demolition. For premium Central Florida homeowners, the best protection is a clearer design-build process that turns inspiration into scope, selections, schedule, and accountability.
A client who moved up from South Florida fell for the lake, not the house. See the before and after of her Clermont kitchen, primary bath, fireplace and flooring remodel.
