Kitchen and Bathroom Remodeling in Windermere, FL
Windermere homeowners turn to Collins Kitchen and Bath, a veteran-owned, state-certified remodeling contractor, for kitchen remodels, bathroom renovations, and whole home transformations. Known as the Town Among the Lakes, it sits on the Butler Chain, and many of its streets are still unpaved by choice. Around it, in unincorporated Orange County, are guard-gated communities like Isleworth and Keene's Pointe. We work in both.
We handle four kinds of work in Windermere. 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, which on a Butler Chain lot are less an addition than the reason people bought the house.
The Lake Cawood kitchen is in our gallery. A kitchen at that scale takes coordination, patience, and a team you trust completely. 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 Windermere?
Most projects do, and Windermere is the one place where the address on the mailbox tells you the least. The incorporated Town of Windermere is about two square miles. Isleworth, Keene's Pointe, Summerport, Casabella, and Belmere all carry a Windermere mailing address and sit in unincorporated Orange County. Homes inside the town permit through the town, which uses a contracted building department. Homes outside it permit through the Orange County Division of Building Safety. We confirm which one applies to your address, pull the permits, and coordinate the inspections.
What kinds of homes do you work on in Windermere?
Single-family homes only. No condos, townhomes, or apartments. Windermere runs from older houses on the town's unpaved streets to the estate homes of Isleworth, Keene's Pointe, and Lake Cawood along the Butler Chain. One project is a closed layout that needs walls moved. Another is a custom build where the finishes were high end when they went in and the homeowner's taste has moved on.
Do you build outdoor kitchens in Windermere?
Yes, and on a Butler Chain lot they make more sense than almost anywhere. Plan for one extra step inside the town: Windermere is a Tree City USA with a tree ordinance, so removing a tree to make room requires approval. 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.
