St. Cyr Contracting serves Clermont as part of our Central Florida service area. Clermont is one of our closest markets — roughly twenty minutes from our Winter Garden base — and we have completed projects across the city and south Lake County since 2008.
Clermont is also the most physically distinctive place we build. This is genuinely hilly ground, sitting on some of the highest and most rolling terrain in peninsular Florida, and it is wrapped around the Clermont Chain of Lakes. Both of those change how a project gets built in ways that flat, inland Central Florida does not.

Why Clermont homeowners hire us over local alternatives.
Clermont has two almost unrelated construction markets. There are the 1950s through 1980s homes and lakefront cottages around downtown and the older lakefront, and there are the 2000s-onward subdivisions spreading south and toward Minneola. They need opposite things from a contractor: one needs someone who can handle surprises behind plaster and non-standard framing, the other needs finish quality that lifts builder-grade construction. We do both, and we are clear with you about which one you own.
Mo designs and builds every custom cabinet, vanity, and built-in himself. In older Clermont homes that matters because the walls are rarely true, and stock cabinet runs get made to fit with filler strips. We measure the house that exists and build to it.
And we are close. Twenty minutes from our shop means site visits happen when they need to, not when the route makes sense.
Building in Clermont: what to know before you start.
A few things specific to the Clermont market that affect your project:
City of Clermont versus unincorporated Lake County
The City of Clermont operates its own building department, and unincorporated Lake County operates another. Clermont has annexed steadily as the area grew, so the city boundary is irregular and a Clermont address is not a reliable guide to which department reviews your plans. The two differ on fees, review timelines, and inspection scheduling. We confirm jurisdiction from the parcel before quoting a schedule.
The terrain genuinely affects construction cost
This is the thing that surprises people moving here from flatter parts of Florida. Clermont sits on notably high, rolling ground, and slope has real construction consequences: stepped foundations, retaining walls, driveway grades that have to stay within usable limits, and drainage that has to be engineered rather than assumed. An addition on a sloping lot can carry site and foundation costs that the same addition on a flat lot simply does not. We survey the grade and price the site work honestly rather than discovering it during excavation.
Chain of Lakes waterfront work
Clermont wraps around the Clermont Chain of Lakes, and waterfront property carries constraints beyond the ordinary building permit. Shoreline setbacks, dock and seawall work, tree protection, and stormwater handling can involve review beyond the local building department, including state and regional water management authorities depending on the scope. Where your project touches the shoreline or changes drainage toward the lake, we identify the additional approvals during scoping instead of at submittal.
Two very different housing stocks
Downtown Clermont and the older lakefront include homes from the 1950s through 1980s, where renovation reliably surfaces outdated electrical panels, galvanised supply lines, non-standard framing, and in pre-1978 construction the possibility of lead paint or asbestos. The newer subdivisions south of town are a different job entirely: sound construction with builder-grade finishes, where the work is upgrade rather than repair. We scope for whichever you have and price contingencies in rather than issuing change orders mid-project.
We have been pulling permits and finishing projects across Lake County and Central Florida since 2008. If you are planning a kitchen, bathroom, or larger renovation in Clermont, the consultation is the fastest way to understand what your project actually costs and how long it actually takes.
