Find the Winter Park Home Renovation Company That's Best Suited For Your Next Project: 3 Things to Consider

August 6, 2025

Finding the right Winter Park design-build company is invaluable for any remodeling project, but it's essential for a major home renovation.

Invest in the Best When Beginning A Major Home Renovation

A major home renovation says it all in its name, and you want to pick a company that can complete a project you will love for a lifetime.

Here are three things to consider before selecting a company that you feel will do the best job and is also the easiest to work with throughout the project's duration.

NOTE: Choosing a company that is licensed, insured, and bonded should be a given for anyone you hire for home improvement services - let alone a complete renovation. So, we'll skip that tip and move on to other important considerations.

1. Cumulative and Broad-Spectrum Experience

Saying you've been a contractor for ten or 20 years means something, but it may not mean what you think if that contractor worked solely in the plumbing or electrical field, or if their experience was mainly in tract home developments.

For a luxury-level, full-spectrum home renovation, you want to interview award-winning construction teams that have specialized in every aspect of home design and renovation for at least five to ten years or more. That's how long it takes to be able to really take a long-view approach to redesigning (if necessary) and updating a home that's personalized to your client.

Furthermore, that level of experience is what it takes to build and nurture trusted, long-term relationships with the area's most renowned craftsmen and artisans. You want to hear them speak to - and show you evidence of:

  • Awards and publications they've earned or been featured in along the way.
  • Exterior home renovation work, including outdoor living spaces.
  • Interior renovations (particularly those that involve significant changes in layout, flow, expansion, or reconfiguration of space) can help you get a feel for their level of innovation.
  • Recent portfolio pictures that match your project's scope in regards to size and general style/goals.
  • A list of their preferred vendors, craftsmen, and artisans so you can do some further reconnaissance.

You need to have absolute trust that the team you choose is more than capable of transforming your space into your dream home.

2. An Innate Ability to Understand Your Household & Goals

We know that one of the reasons Details Construction Group continues to be one of Winter Park's leading upscale home renovation companies is Flora and her team's intuitive and attentive ability to understand what our clients truly need and want.

Your prospective designer/builder should want to go beyond learning what you like or dream about by asking more thorough questions about:

  • What's not working in your current home?
  • Your household's daily and seasonal rhythms.
  • Pets, hobbies, level of interest, or your ability to provide maintenance.
  • How the current house layout accommodates or blocks function, flow, and enjoyment.
  • Your future goals (do you plan to rent, sell, or age-in-place?).
  • Any dream features or functions you would love to see manifest?
  • And so on.

You also want to find prospective companies that have in-house design teams to keep the design and build process as fluid as possible. And, of course, you should feel completely heard and understood during the design process because that's the only way you can trust that the final product will be everything you're hoping for - and more.

3. A Stellar Industry Reputation

Finally, you want someone with a stellar reputation in the industry. The average kitchen remodel can take anywhere from six to 12 weeks, but that's nothing compared to a full home renovation, which can span months depending on the project's scope.

We highly recommend taking the time to speak with recent customers to learn more about how the company operates. Ask about:

  • Their communication style.
  • Whether they provide prompt attention (calling back or addressing concerns within two business days or less).
  • The level of organization and cleanliness while they were working in the home.
  • Whether you felt heard and understood.
  • How they handled less-than-desirable situations (which are bound to happen, especially in older homes).
  • Their timeliness and the accuracy of their project calendar (few projects ever run exactly as calendared, but clients should always remain honestly informed).
  • And so on.

After you've done your homework around these three critical criteria, you'll know which company feels the best for you and your family.
