Clermont · Lake County
General Contractor in Clermont, FL
Designed in 3D, permitted with the right Lake County or city office, and built by a licensed Florida general contractor that also holds its own plumbing license.
General contractor projects in Clermont
When Clermont homeowners search for a general contractor, the project usually involves several connected pieces: a kitchen and two baths, a lanai enclosure with an outdoor kitchen, or a whole-house update before a move or sale. We are a Florida Certified General Contractor and Certified Plumbing Contractor, so one company handles design, permitting, scheduling of every trade and inspections, and you deal with one point of contact instead of coordinating separate contractors around Lake County.
What changes for a general contractor in Clermont
General contracting in Clermont often involves working with the terrain. Projects that touch the exterior, such as enclosing a lanai or adding a room, need attention to grading and where storm water goes on a sloped lot. Permits go through City of Clermont Building Services for addresses inside city limits and through the Lake County Office of Building Services for unincorporated parcels, and HOA approval usually comes first for exterior changes in the larger planned communities.
Local details we plan around
- Many Clermont addresses are unincorporated Lake County, not the City of Clermont, so check the Property Appraiser record before applying.
- Hilly lots mean more water coming toward doors and windows in summer storms, so flashing and exterior sealing deserve extra attention.
- 55+ communities lean toward aging-in-place design: curbless showers, grab bar blocking, comfort-height vanities and wider walkways.
- Outdoor kitchens and lanai upgrades are a real local interest and often need both association approval and a permit for gas, electric or plumbing.

Scope
What the work includes
Planning and estimating
We visit the property, measure, review what you want built and what the structure allows, and turn it into a written scope and estimate you can compare line by line.
Design and 3D rendering
For remodels we build a 3D rendering from the measurements, and our designer helps with selections, so the plan is settled before demolition rather than during it.
Permits and code compliance
We apply for permits in our own name, prepare the drawings the building department needs, and build to the Florida Building Code, which local departments enforce.
Trade scheduling and supervision
Framing, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, drywall, tile, cabinets and paint, scheduled in the right order and supervised so each trade leaves the job ready for the next one.
Plumbing under our own license
Because we also hold a Certified Plumbing Contractor license, drain moves, repiping within the scope and fixture work are done under our license rather than coordinated with an outside company.
Materials and ordering
We order the material, check deliveries against your selections before installation, and keep track of long-lead items such as cabinets, windows and custom glass.

Material selection
You choose cabinets, counters, tile and fixtures with our designer in the Kingspointe Pkwy showroom, against the final design.
- 04
Ordering and permits
We order material, check every item against your selections, and pull the permits the scope needs.

"It is a pleasure to recommend Prime Construction / Kitchens for any of your home remodeling needs. Prime Construction helped me diagnose a problem with a wall in my garage related to a window leak. Prime Construction shared with me how I could address the issue myself and saved me the cost of a dispatch by their team. They were only concerned with helping me resolve my issue. I give my full recommendation to Prime Construction. Thank you"

FAQ
General Contractor in Clermont: questions
Do not see your question? Call us or send the estimate form and we will answer it on the phone.
How can I check a general contractor's license before a Clermont project?
Search the license number on the state DBPR site at myfloridalicense.com. Our general contractor license is CGC1535686 and our plumbing license is CFC1433952. A state license is valid in the City of Clermont and in unincorporated Lake County; the City of Clermont also asks contractors to provide license, insurance and workers' compensation documents with permits.
Who issues the permit for my Clermont remodel, the city or Lake County?
It depends on whether the parcel is inside Clermont city limits. Lake County advises checking the Property Appraiser record: if the Millage group and City field lists Clermont, the City of Clermont Building Services handles the permit; if it says unincorporated, the Lake County Office of Building Services does. Many south Clermont addresses are unincorporated.
Do you remodel bathrooms in Kings Ridge and Summit Greens?
Yes. Bathroom remodels in Clermont's 55+ communities are common, usually replacing a garden tub with a low or curbless walk-in shower, adding blocking for grab bars, and installing comfort-height vanities and better lighting. We check your association's rules for contractor hours and access before scheduling, and handle the permit with the city or Lake County.
What is required to be a contractor in Florida?
A state certified contractor in Florida must be licensed by the DBPR's Construction Industry Licensing Board. That generally means documented experience in the trade, passing the state exams on trade knowledge and business and finance, showing financial responsibility, carrying insurance and passing a background check. The license must be renewed and kept active. You can check any contractor's status at myfloridalicense.com.
How do I verify a general contractor's license in Florida?
Use the license search at myfloridalicense.com. Search by license number or business name, then confirm the license is current and active, the type covers your project (CGC, CBC or CRC) and the name matches the company on your contract. Our licenses are CGC1535686 (Certified General Contractor) and CFC1433952 (Certified Plumbing Contractor).
Should I pay a contractor 50% upfront?
We suggest not paying far ahead of the work. A fair payment schedule follows milestones you can see, such as material ordered, rough-in inspected, major installation complete and final walk-through. Our schedule is tied to project milestones and written into the contract before work begins. Be cautious of anyone who wants most of the price before starting or will not put the schedule in writing.
