Winter Park tile projects often need a careful eye. Older homes, design-heavy bathrooms, and premium materials can all expose rushed work. We take time to check the substrate, plan the tile pattern, and make sure the finished work fits the home instead of looking like a rushed replacement. The trend toward large slab-style porcelain walls is strong in Winter Park, and that kind of install demands a flatter surface, planned layout, and proper setting material.
KV Tileworks serves Winter Park homeowners in zip codes 32789 and 32792. We focus on the work that Winter Park homes demand: custom master bath remodels, large-format natural stone, precision shower tile, and high-end porcelain throughout. This is the market where craft matters most, and it is the kind of work we built this company to do.
Winter Park's custom build market runs at a different standard than anywhere else in Central Florida. We work with Vimaro Homes and similar high-end builders in the area on new construction tile packages that have to be right, from large-format porcelain in open-plan living areas to full custom shower builds where the architect has a specific layout in mind.
The homes on and around Park Avenue, along the Vias, and on the lakefront lots near Lake Virginia are a different kind of project. Older estates getting full gut remodels. New infill builds where the tile plan is part of a designed interior. Clients who know exactly what they want and need a contractor who can execute it. That's the work we take on here.
The material trend in Winter Park right now is large slab-style porcelain on shower walls, thin, oversized panels in the 48x96 range that create a stone-like look with minimal grout lines. It's a precision install that requires the right substrate prep, proper large-format adhesive, and a crew that has done it before. That's a box we check on every project.
Via Tuscany Area — Custom Master Bath
Material: Arabescato marble tile walls, hex Carrara floor, brass accents
Natural stone throughout. We went through sealing protocol, setting adhesive specs, and grout selection with the client before anything was ordered. Precision layout centered on the window wall.
New Construction — Park Avenue Corridor
Material: Large-format 32x32 porcelain throughout main living areas, custom shower in master
Worked directly with the builder's project manager. Three surfaces, two materials, one scope. We hit every milestone without holding up the next trade.
Historic Home Near Lake Virginia — Bathroom Tile Remodel
Material: Handmade subway tile walls, 12x12 marble hex floor
Original plaster walls required special prep and a decoupling membrane before tile. We flagged it at the estimate visit and built it into the scope.
Winter Park is one of the most design-conscious markets in Central Florida. Homes along the lakefront, in the Vias, and throughout the historic neighborhoods near Park Avenue have character, and the owners expect renovations that match it. Tile work here is not just a functional finish. It is part of how the home presents itself, and it gets scrutinized. We are comfortable with that level of expectation. It is why we are particular about the work we take on.
Master bath remodels are the core of what we do in Winter Park. Full gut-and-rebuilds with custom shower enclosures, large-format porcelain or natural stone floors, book-matched wall tile, built-in niches, benches, and heated floor systems. We waterproof every shower properly using Go Board, Wedi, Schluter KERDI, or RedGard, depending on what the build calls for. The substrate work is invisible once the tile goes up, but it is the part that determines whether a shower holds up for five years or twenty-five.
We also work with natural stone throughout Winter Park homes. Marble, travertine, quartzite, and slate all behave differently and require specific setting methods, grout choices, and sealing protocols. We go through all of that during the estimate visit. You should know what you are getting into with natural stone before the tile is ordered, and we make sure of it.
Beyond the primary bath, we handle kitchen backsplashes, large-format porcelain throughout living areas, outdoor kitchen tile and stonework, fireplace surrounds, and accent walls. If it is in a Winter Park home and involves tile or stone, we have done it. Material selection is always part of our process, and we can work through choices with you through our Central Florida supplier network before you commit to anything.
KV Tileworks is James and Andrew. James has been in construction in Florida his whole life. Andrew ran his own tile business in Colorado before moving to Sanford with his girlfriend and three kids. Between them they have 15+ years of experience on high-end residential installs, custom showers, and the kind of large-format work a lot of tile crews will not take on.
Every project gets a written scope before work starts. Materials, timeline, cost. They work in occupied homes, keep the site clean, and do not move on until the work is right.
