Floor Plan Modification Services in Orlando, Florida
Floor plan modification transforms how you use your home by removing non-load-bearing walls, adding interior doorways, or combining rooms to improve functionality. Whether you live in a 1950s home near Lake Eustis or a newer construction in Windermere or Lake Buena Vista, reconfiguring your layout can eliminate wasted space and create open-concept living areas that modern families demand. Bill Morgan inc has completed over 200 floor plan modification projects across Central Florida, including homes in Maitland, Altamonte Springs, and Longwood. We manage everything from initial CAD floor plan design through final drywall finishing and paint.
Our floor plan modification process begins with a comprehensive home walkthrough and structural assessment to identify load-bearing walls, HVAC ductwork, and electrical/plumbing routes that affect your design options. We provide detailed CAD renderings showing your before-and-after layout so you can visualize the final result. Next, we secure any required Orange County building permits (typically 5-10 business days) and schedule structural engineering inspections if load-bearing walls are involved. Installation follows with precise wall removal or construction, followed by drywall taping, finishing, and professional painting. Final inspections ensure code compliance and structural integrity before project completion.

Our Floor Plan Modification Process
Structural Assessment and Design Consultation
We visit your Orlando-area home to evaluate wall construction, identify load-bearing elements, and discuss your vision. This takes 1-2 hours and includes marking proposed wall locations. CAD floor plan design is completed within 3-5 business days.
Permit Acquisition and Engineering Review
Our team secures Orange County building permits and coordinates structural engineering inspections if load-bearing walls are involved. Permit approval typically takes 5-10 business days in Orlando and surrounding areas.
Wall Removal and Framing Installation
Licensed carpenters carefully remove targeted walls or install new framing for doorways and openings. Load-bearing walls receive appropriate beam support. This phase typically takes 1-3 days depending on wall complexity.
Drywall, Finishing, and Paint
Professional drywall installation covers all new wall openings and exposed studs. Taping, mudding, sanding, and primer/paint finishes the walls to seamless condition. Finishing typically takes 2-4 days including paint cure time.
