Our Work
Recent general construction projects.
Licensed Florida general contractor for full remodels, additions, lanai builds, hurricane-code rebuilds, and post-restoration reconstruction. From a single bath remodel to a whole-home rebuild after a storm.
Florida general contractor work in 2026 is regulated tightly — hurricane code revisions, energy code updates, and HOA architectural review boards all need handling. We carry the licenses, write the permits, manage the inspections, and keep the homeowner informed daily.
Bonita Springs construction work is dominated by remodels in Pelican Landing, Bonita Bay, and the Vanderbilt Beach corridor. Lanai expansions, kitchen rebuilds, and primary-bath remodels are the most common scope. HOA architectural review boards are strict — we draft submissions and represent at HOA review meetings as part of the build.
Our Bonita Springs crew works across the full city — from Riverside Park, Bonita Beach Park, Everglades Wonder Gardens, Bonita Springs YMCA, Promenade at Bonita Bay, Coconut Point (Estero border) — and we're familiar with how general construction scope changes between Bonita Bay and Pelican Landing.
Bonita Springs disaster history: Hurricane Ian (2022), Hurricane Irma (2017), Tropical Storm Eta (2020). Post-storm rebuild work in this city often requires code upgrades to current hurricane standards.
If you bought a 1970s or 1980s home in Old Bonita, Bonita Farms, or Riverwood, the addition you priced is not the addition you will actually build. Three things show up behind the wall in nearly every pre-1990 Bonita Springs house: cast iron drain lines that have lost half their wall thickness to corrosion, aluminum branch wiring now flagged at the panel, and original CPVC supply lines turning brittle. Bonita Springs building department review catches all of it once an inspector is in the wall. So do we — on the first walk-through, before the contract is signed and before the cabinets are ordered.
After Hurricane Ian, Lee County and the Bonita Springs building department tightened enforcement on the 50 percent rule (FEMA substantial improvement) and on roof, window, and lateral-bracing code for any remodel touching the building envelope. A Bonita Springs home in Flood Zone AE that takes a remodel exceeding 50 percent of its appraised market value triggers full elevation requirements — a fundamentally different project than the homeowner thought they were buying. We model the calculation before the design freezes, using current Lee County property appraiser values and the actual priced scope. That math tells you whether you are remodeling, rebuilding, or making a tear-down decision before you spend money on engineering you cannot use.
Bonita Bay, Pelican Landing, and Worthington each run architectural review boards that approve roof color, paint scheme, window style, lanai cage frame, and any exterior change before the Bonita Springs building department will accept the permit. The ARB cycle adds four to eight weeks to a project timeline. We submit ARB packages in parallel with the permit application instead of sequentially, so the calendar moves at one rate rather than two. We have worked all three boards enough to know which materials, roof tile profiles, and paint colors pass on first submission and which trigger a second-round revision.
A meaningful share of Bonita Springs parcels along the Imperial River, the Bonita Beach Road tributaries, and Estero Bay frontage are filled lots dating back to mid-1960s dredge-and-fill development. Soil bearing on those parcels is not what a stamped foundation plan assumes by default. A second-story addition, a master-suite expansion, or a post-Ian rebuild needs a geotechnical bore before the structural engineer can size the footing. We have seen generic specs pass on paper and fail at Bonita Springs inspection. The geotech costs a few hundred dollars and saves the entire project schedule.
We run general construction in Bonita Springs with the assumption that something behind the wall is older than the listing said it was. Permits, ARB approvals, geotech where needed, and a written scope that anticipates the cast iron drain lines, the aluminum branch wiring, and the 50 percent rule — all priced before demo, not surprise-billed at change-order time. That is how a Bonita Springs remodel finishes on budget.
Scope walkthrough, design review, permit application, HOA submission if needed. Clear timeline + budget before demo starts.
In-house project manager on every job. Daily progress updates. Inspections scheduled and met. Subs we vouch for, not random GC's pickups.
Punch-list walkthrough with you. All inspections passed. Written workmanship warranty on every finished job.

Our Bonita Springs general construction crew dispatches across the full city — from Bonita Bay, Pelican Landing, Hawthorne, Spanish Wells, Bonita Beach, San Carlos Park (south), Riverwood, Imperial Shores, Bonita Farms, Bonita National, covering ZIP codes 34134, 34135. Permit and HOA review requirements vary widely across Bonita Springs's neighborhoods — we navigate both.
Bonita Springs insurance carriers we work with: Citizens Property, NFIP flood claims, HOA carriers for Bonita Bay / Pelican Landing. We bill direct on most claims and document to adjuster standards from the first call.
Same crew, same standards — we cover the surrounding cities too:
A full interior gut in Old Bonita Springs triggers permitting through the Bonita Springs Building Department, not Lee County, because the city took over its own building department years ago. Expect a building permit, separate electrical/plumbing/mechanical permits, and depending on scope, a manual J load calc for HVAC sizing under current Florida Energy Code. If the home is in a flood zone (much of Old Bonita is in AE), any work over 50% of market value triggers the FEMA substantial-improvement rule and may require elevation. We pull all permits, coordinate engineering, and run the inspection schedule so the homeowner is not chasing inspectors from out of state.
The 50% rule is the FEMA/NFIP standard adopted into the Bonita Springs floodplain ordinance: if the cost of improvements or repairs over a rolling period exceeds 50% of the structure's pre-improvement market value, the entire structure has to come into current floodplain compliance, including elevation above base flood elevation. For a $400,000 1970s home in 34134, that ceiling is $200,000, and a kitchen plus master bath remodel can hit that quickly. We coordinate with a Lee County appraiser early to establish market value, and we stage projects across permit cycles when possible so a single renovation does not unintentionally trigger full elevation.
Remote owner projects in Bonita Bay or Pelican Landing run on a different cadence than owner-occupied work. We set up a weekly video walkthrough on Friday afternoons, share a project-management portal with daily photos and material status, and require pre-approval signatures on selection sheets via DocuSign rather than chasing wet signatures. We hold selections at our office or stage them in the garage so we can show product side-by-side on video calls. Change orders go through a 48-hour approval window with cost impact stated upfront. Most of our snowbird projects close on schedule because the communication system is built around the owner being 1,500 miles away.
Three drivers compressed into one market. First, the Lee County labor pool is structurally short post-Ian, with skilled trades commanding 30-40% more than 2021 rates. Second, Florida Building Code 2023 updates increased wind-uplift requirements and impact-window specs, particularly for homes in 34134 within the wind-borne debris region. Third, material costs are still volatile. Xactimate's pricing database updates quarterly and is generally catching up, but on any insurance scope in Bonita Springs we now routinely supplement on labor minimums, prevailing wage adjustments, and code-upgrade line items (often covered under Ordinance and Law endorsement) rather than accepting the initial estimate as written.
Yes, significantly. Anything permitted after the 2010 Florida Building Code updates uses high-velocity hurricane zone-adjacent standards: impact-rated windows and doors, hurricane straps at every truss, third-nailing on roof decks, and continuous load paths from roof to foundation. Older Old Bonita homes near Riverside Park typically have toe-nailed rafters, jalousie or single-pane windows, and lack any uplift load path. Any major renovation on those older homes triggers retrofit requirements: when we touch the roof, we have to bring uplift connections to current code in the work area. This is why a "simple" re-roof in 34135 can balloon to include framing reinforcement.
