Kitchen and Bathroom Remodeling in Sanford, FL
Sanford homeowners turn to Collins Kitchen and Bath, a veteran-owned, state-certified remodeling contractor, for kitchen remodels, bathroom renovations, and whole home transformations. The company has a deep connection to Sanford that goes back generations. Hannah's grandfather founded and operated SERVPRO of North Seminole County for over 40 years, building a reputation in this community long before Collins Kitchen and Bath existed. Serving Sanford homeowners well isn't just a business goal for us. It's personal.
We handle four kinds of work in Sanford. Kitchen remodels, from cabinetry and countertops through layout changes that open a closed floor plan. Bathroom renovations, including walk-in showers, freestanding tubs, and custom tile. Whole home remodels, taken on in phases or all at once depending on how you want to live through it. And outdoor kitchens, built with cabinetry rated for Central Florida weather rather than interior boxes moved outside.
Sanford is one of Central Florida's oldest incorporated cities, founded in 1877 on the south shore of Lake Monroe and named the Seminole County seat in 1913. It runs from the historic character of downtown, where the commercial district was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976, to gated communities like Lake Forest, built around a spring-fed lake. Every project starts with an in-home consultation, a clear written estimate, and a realistic timeline. Every trade in your home is licensed and vetted, and we use the same trusted employees, trades, and suppliers we've worked with for years. Communication stays direct from first day on site to final walkthrough.

Design
Some clients arrive with a full set of selections already made. Some want a layout drawn, cabinetry and appliances placed, and every finish chosen before demo day. Most land somewhere between those two.
We offer design at several levels, and which one fits depends on how much of the work you want to own. Countertops, cabinetry, tile, and fixtures selected together read as one room rather than a set of separate choices, and that's what the design service is for.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit to remodel a kitchen or bathroom in Sanford?
Most projects do, and there are two questions to settle first. Homes inside the city limits permit through the City of Sanford Building Division. Homes in unincorporated Seminole County near Sanford permit through the county, even though the county building sits downtown. The second question is the historic district. Sanford has four of them, and any exterior work on a property in the Downtown Commercial, Sanford Avenue, or Residential Historic District requires a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Historic Preservation Board before work begins. It applies to the outside of the house. A kitchen or bathroom remodel inside a historic Sanford home needs a building permit and no Certificate of Appropriateness. We confirm which office applies, pull the permits, and coordinate the inspections.
What kinds of homes do you work on in Sanford?
Single-family homes only. No condos, townhomes, or apartments. Sanford runs from the historic houses near downtown and along Sanford Avenue to gated communities like Lake Forest and newer construction out toward the county line. One project is a closed layout that needs walls moved. Another is a house near Lake Monroe where the bones are a century old and everything behind the plaster is not.
Do you build outdoor kitchens in Sanford?
Yes, with one thing to plan for. If your home sits inside one of Sanford's historic districts, exterior work requires a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Historic Preservation Board before it can begin, and the board meets once a month. Outside those districts it's a standard permit. The cabinetry is rated for exterior installation rather than interior boxes moved outside, and the counters are surfaces designed to hold up to sun, humidity, and rain.
