Founder · Builder & renovation specialist
Jeremy McVicker
Jeremy is the founder of Property Fixology of Florida LLC, a licensed Certified Residential Contractor working on Central Florida houses — most of them older than the code that governs them. He walks every project himself, scopes and estimates it himself, and is on site through the build. The person who tells you what a job takes is the person still standing there when it’s tested.
Who he is
The person who scopes the job is the person who runs it
Jeremy McVicker is a builder, not a broker of builders — and on a Property Fixology project that one distinction decides almost everything else. He conducts the first walk-through, he writes the specification, and he is on site through the build often enough that clients stop calling the office and call him. He works with homeowners staying put and with owners and realtors preparing to sell. The first meeting is for understanding the project and giving you approximate budget numbers; the firm figures are set later, in a written proposal.
The work sits in eight disciplines, across Windermere and Central Florida:
Kitchens
Bathrooms & wet rooms
Historic Restorarion
Trim & custom millwork
Outdoor living & lanai
Whole-home renovation
Florida climate & storm hardening
Commercial Fit-out
In practice most of it comes down to two kinds of house: pre-war homes with beautiful bones and eighty years of accumulated compromise, and 1990s and 2000s builder-spec houses in good neighborhoods that were never given much architectural weight to begin with. Quality workmanship, honest budgets, and one team accountable from the first visit to the year after — that is the whole offer.
What clients tend to remember afterwards isn’t a material or a detail. It’s that the person who told them what the job would cost was still there when the drywall came off and the house turned out to be slightly different from what everyone assumed. That’s the part Jeremy doesn’t delegate.
“I started Property Fixology because I got tired of watching homeowners get sold a renovation by someone who’d never pick up a tool on the job. I’m a builder. I walk your house, I write the plan, and I’m there when the wall comes down — because that’s when a house tells you the truth. My crew does the finish work ourselves; we bring in licensed trades where the law and good sense say we should, and I keep the number, the schedule and the standard on my own shoulders. Most of my clients thought they might have to move. Almost none of them did. That’s the job I care about — making the home you already chose work the way you always wanted it to.”

Licensed & verifiable
Hire the license, not just the handshake
A licensed contractor can pull the permits your project needs, carries insurance, builds to Florida code, and gives you real recourse if something goes wrong — protections you simply don’t have with unlicensed work. Jeremy’s licence is public: check it yourself.
On larger projects the work runs under a master permit, with the separate trade permits — electrical, plumbing, mechanical, roofing — pulled as the scope requires. Jeremy handles the permitting as part of the job.

Areas of expertise
What Central Florida houses actually teach you
Renovation expertise in this state is less about style than about knowing what a house of a given era is hiding. This is the working inventory Jeremy brings to a first walk-through — what he looks for, in what order.
Historic restoration
Winter Park Spanish Revival, Mediterranean & Mid-Century
Jeremy’s core specialty treats the home’s architecture as the design brief, not the obstacle: period-correct trim, millwork and detail matching, restoration of plaster, tile and woodwork, and sympathetic modernisation of the systems the original era never had — with preservation-authority coordination where a home requires it.
Beyond restoration, much of the value is knowing what a house of a given era tends to hide. On a walk-through Jeremy reads for the things that shape a budget before anyone talks finishes:
Insurability in the plumbing. Some homes from the 1980s and 90s carry supply pipe that many insurers now decline — worth identifying early. See the glossary
Hidden moisture. Cracking at the corners of windows on late-1990s and 2000s stucco can signal water behind the wall. See the glossary
Storm readiness. Whether a house has an engineered load path depends on its age and how it was built — and it drives the storm-hardening plan.
The specifics are confirmed at the visit and set out in the written proposal.
