Musgrave Building & Restorations Inc. is one of Central Florida’s most versatile home building companies, renowned for superior craftsmanship in almost every facet of the industry — from total bathroom and kitchen remodels to historic home renovations to multimillion-dollar estate homes.
This award-winning company recently showcased its versatility by capturing two first-place awards at the 2010 Metro Orlando Parade of Homes. One award came for a remodel of a 1940s ranch-style home in Winter Park, and the other was received for a new $750,000 custom home in downtown Orlando’s historic Delaney Park neighborhood. It was the first time in the history of the Parade of Homes that a builder earned awards in both the remodel and custom-home construction categories.
Jeff Musgrave, a third-generation builder who has been part of Central Florida’s home building scene for more than 20 years, is the creative force behind the company. His projects, which have included high-end remodels, additions, custom homes in excess of 16,000 square feet, and beachfront homes, have received numerous accolades.
