Fort Myers is home to roughly 92,000 residents and falls under Lee County - a different permitting authority than the Sarasota and Charlotte County jurisdictions that cover most of our other service areas. It's the farthest reach of our service territory, and one we serve regularly for both remodeling and restoration. Fort Myers also serves as a gateway to Sanibel Island and the barrier islands further south, and we take on projects at that end of our territory as well when the scope fits.

Remodeling & New Construction in Fort Myers

The historic McGregor Boulevard corridor includes homes with genuine architectural character, and exterior work there is scoped to respect that rather than defaulting to a generic modern spec. Downtown's River District has its own mix of older and newer construction, each with different considerations for additions and remodeling work. McGregor Boulevard's famous canopy of royal palms is a protected feature of the corridor, and any exterior project near it needs to account for root systems and canopy clearance during planning, not just the usual setback and zoning requirements.

Storm & Water Damage Restoration in Fort Myers

Properties closer to the Caloosahatchee River and the routes toward the Sanibel Causeway see similar coastal exposure considerations to our other waterfront service areas - salt air, wind-driven rain, and in some cases flood elevation requirements that affect ground-level additions and any storm repair work. Fort Myers also sits closer to the direct path of major storm systems moving in from the Gulf than some of our more northern service areas, which is worth factoring into any storm mitigation conversation for a property here.

Because Fort Myers permits are processed through Lee County - a separate authority from our other service areas - we track its requirements independently rather than assuming they line up with what applies elsewhere in our territory.

Lee County Permitting

Fort Myers permits are processed through Lee County, which runs a different process than the Sarasota and Charlotte County jurisdictions covering the rest of our service area. We handle this permitting process directly so you don't have to learn a new system for one project.

"A historic McGregor Boulevard home and new construction near the River District call for genuinely different approaches - we scope each on the property's own terms."

Coastal Exposure Near the Causeway

River and causeway-adjacent properties carry added coastal exposure considerations similar to our other waterfront service areas. Flood elevation certificates may be required for ground-level additions near the water, which we check before finalizing any project scope.
