Meet the friendly faces behind Baldwin Park's Construction Services of Orlando

Baldwin Park resident Bill Vasquez doesn’t mind getting his hands dirty. 

Vasquez remembers building three-story tree forts with electricity when he was only 12 years old. He always loved working with his hands.

So, it only makes sense Vasquez’s perfect match made would be a woman whose upbringing was steeped in commercial development and entrepreneurship. 

Vasquez met his now-fiancee, Colleen Sheive, in 2018 in Baldwin Park. Together, the two run Construction Services of Orlando — a home remodeling company specializing in both indoor and outdoor kitchen renovations. The business expanded recently from the couple’s home office to Lake Baldwin Lane. 

Vasquez’s story is one of resilience and passion. 

He was born in Medellin, Colombia, and raised on Marathon Key. 

He is a proud veteran of the U.S. Army, and his dedication to construction led him to Gainesville, where he obtained a degree in construction management technology. He honed his skills by managing countless new home builds for a prominent production builder in Orlando.

His other half, Sheive, a homegrown talent with deep roots in Central Florida, hails from a family entrenched in of commercial real estate and development. 

With a father in commercial development, a stepmother in title insurance and a mother who held the reins of one of Central Florida’s largest boarding kennels, her upbringing was rooted in entrepreneurship. 

Her academic journey led her to the University of Florida, where she pursued business management, setting the stage for a successful 20 years as a licensed Realtor and a seasoned home flipper. 

Currently on the path to obtaining her certified general contractor’s license, Sheive has left an indelible mark on the Central Florida landscape with her portfolio of hundreds of flipped homes and numerous commercial, retail and medical buildings constructed in collaboration with her father. 

In 2019, the pair embarked on a new chapter together by founding Construction Services of Orlando. They have worked on many homes in Baldwin Park and also were instrumental in converting the old Provisions & Buzz on New Broad Street into the modern Blue Jackets Gastropub.

Locals now can step inside their recently unveiled office and showroom to witness firsthand the magic of Sheive’s design prowess and Vasquez’s expert project supervision. The two have about 15 employees working on their team.

The company has completed myriad project, including kitchen, bathroom, flooring and whole-home remodels, as well as exterior projects, such as paver installations, exterior painting and outdoor kitchens.

Although the company will service clients as far away as Cocoa Beach, the couple is hoping to garner more clients closer to home in Baldwin Park. The two also hope to focus exclusively on kitchen projects in the future.

Vasquez says 95% of the houses in Baldwin Park are dated and have kitchens that are more than 20 years old, so there is a huge opportunity for the business.

“We want to be big fish in a little pond,” he says.

When they are not immersed in transforming spaces and creating dream homes, Sheive and Vasquez find solace in shared passions — teeing off on the golf course, savoring fine wines and basking in the sun-kissed shores of a nearby beach. 

Their community spirit shines through, as they engage in friendly matches on the softball field in the Baldwin Park league. 

In addition to their professional and personal pursuits, they love spending time with their family and friends, which includes quality time with their four children.
