Winter Park holds some of the oldest housing stock in Central Florida. Park Avenue brick bungalows, two-story colonials in Olde Winter Park, custom estates in Windsong. Same homeowners for decades, now in their 70s and 80s. The house needs updates the original builder never imagined.
Modifications that respect the architecture
Winter Park clients almost always want senior modifications that disappear into the home rather than announcing themselves. We mount grab bars finished to match existing fixtures. We install stair lifts on the stair treads, never the historic bannister. We do curbless shower conversions in compact original baths without ripping out the period tile. The finished bathroom looks like it was always that way.
Historic district considerations
Some Winter Park exterior work falls under historic district guidelines. We have walked the approval process for several Olde Winter Park clients and know what gets through and what gets flagged. Ramps with wood handrails matching the home, painted to the trim color, almost always get approved. Bright aluminum modular ramps usually do not. We design exterior work around that constraint from the start.
