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.
Fort Myers general contracting work clusters around three nodes: historic McGregor restorations, mid-priced Fort Myers Shores remodels, and Gateway/Colonial Country Club new-build upgrades. Permit process and HOA strictness vary widely across these — historic district work has a county historic review board on top of standard permitting.
Our Fort Myers crew works across the full city — from Edison & Ford Winter Estates, Downtown River District, Centennial Park, JetBlue Park (Red Sox spring training), Bell Tower Shops, McGregor Boulevard — and we're familiar with how general construction scope changes between Downtown River District and McGregor Boulevard.
Fort Myers disaster history: Hurricane Ian (2022 — significant), Hurricane Irma (2017), historic 1926 Miami hurricane. Post-storm rebuild work in this city often requires code upgrades to current hurricane standards.
If you bought a McGregor Boulevard or Edison Park home built before 1980, the kitchen or primary-suite renovation you priced is not the project you will actually run. Original cast-iron drain stacks corroded to half their wall thickness, cloth-insulated or early aluminum branch wiring that flags under current Lee County code, lath-and-plaster substrates that don't take modern fasteners cleanly. Permitting in Fort Myers' designated historic areas adds a review layer. And a condo unit remodel at High Point Place or Royal Park has its own logistics chain — elevator scheduling, material staging, building-engineer coordination — that single-family projects don't carry.
Properties inside Fort Myers' historic overlays — and a number of private homes on McGregor flanking the Edison & Ford Winter Estates corridor — trigger Historic Preservation Commission review on exterior changes, additions, and roof replacements. The Downtown River District has its own historic preservation review with separate windows. We submit historic-district packages in parallel with the Lee County permit application instead of sequentially. Doing them in series adds 6-10 weeks to the calendar; doing them in parallel collapses the lost time.
After Hurricane Ian, Lee County tightened enforcement on the FEMA 50% rule (substantial improvement) and on roof, window, and lateral-bracing code on any remodel touching the envelope. A McGregor or Downtown River District home in Flood Zone AE that takes a remodel over 50% of its current market value triggers full elevation requirements — a categorically different project than the homeowner thought they bought. We model the 50% calculation against current Lee County property-appraiser values and the actual priced scope before the design freezes. That tells the owner whether they are remodeling, rebuilding, or making a tear-down decision before money goes into engineering they cannot use.
A unit remodel at High Point Place, Oasis Tower One, or Royal Park requires association approval, a Certificate of Insurance naming the association as additional insured, freight-elevator reservations, designated material-staging windows, and a building-engineer signoff on any plumbing or electrical penetration through floor or wall assemblies. Quiet hours, common-corridor protection, and end-of-day jobsite cleanup are written into the association's contractor rules. We pre-clear the schedule with building engineering before mobilization and budget elevator-window labor into the proposal so the timeline holds against the building's calendar, not just the owner's.
We run Fort Myers general construction assuming the wall is older than the listing says and the building has more rules than the contract acknowledges. Permits, historic and ARB approvals, 50% modeling, and a written scope that anticipates the cast iron, the aluminum branch wiring, and the elevator-window labor — all priced before demo, not surprise-billed at change-order. That is how a Fort Myers remodel closes on budget and on calendar.
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 Fort Myers general construction crew dispatches across the full city — from Downtown River District, McGregor Boulevard, Iona, San Carlos Park, Gateway, Whiskey Creek, Cypress Lake, College Parkway, Pelican Preserve, Edison Park, covering ZIP codes 33901, 33907, 33912, 33913, 33916, 33919, 33966, 33967. Permit and HOA review requirements vary widely across Fort Myers's neighborhoods — we navigate both.
Fort Myers insurance carriers we work with: Citizens, full carrier mix; large insurance broker network in downtown. 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:
McGregor Blvd estate renovations almost always uncover three conditions: original cloth or early aluminum branch wiring, galvanized or soft copper supply lines past service life, and slab construction without a modern vapor barrier. We scope renovation in phases, demolition and discovery first, then a re-priced scope after concealed conditions are documented. We hold a Florida Certified General Contractor license (CGC) and pull permits through Lee County or the City of Fort Myers depending on jurisdiction. Owners should budget a 15 to 20 percent contingency on these properties because surprise scope is the rule, not the exception.
The City of Fort Myers Historic Preservation Commission has jurisdiction over locally designated historic properties and districts, and several McGregor Blvd properties and the Dean Park and Edison Park areas fall within or adjacent to designated zones. Exterior changes visible from the right-of-way, including window replacement, roof material, and paint color, may require a Certificate of Appropriateness before permitting. We confirm jurisdiction with the city planner before scoping any exterior work and build review timelines into the schedule, because retroactive corrections are far more costly than a 30-day review upfront.
A condo unit remodel near Edison Mall or in the River District is governed by the association's declaration and rules in addition to the Florida Building Code. Floor coverings often require a documented sound transmission rating, plumbing changes within demising walls require board approval, and work hours, elevator protection, and debris removal are dictated by the association. We pull the city permit, submit the association package separately, and provide certificates of insurance naming the association before mobilization. Unit owners are usually surprised at how much of the schedule is association coordination rather than construction.
We self-perform reconstruction on Fort Myers losses under our Florida CGC license. The mitigation crew that dried the structure to S500 standards hands off to our reconstruction project manager with a complete moisture-mapping file, photo log, and Xactimate scope. That single-file handoff is the main reason our claims close faster than the typical Fort Myers vendor split, where a mitigation-only company demobilizes and the homeowner is left finding a separate GC, often months later, while temporary housing and ALE benefits run down with Citizens, Florida Peninsula, or Tower Hill.
A full McGregor Blvd estate renovation in Fort Myers typically requires a building permit for the master scope plus separate trade permits for electrical, plumbing, mechanical, and roofing. Window changes trigger product approval submittals under the Florida Building Code wind-zone requirements for Lee County. Pool, dock, and seawall work along the Caloosahatchee involve South Florida Water Management District and sometimes DEP review. We map the permit tree at the proposal stage so owners see the full review timeline, which often runs 60 to 90 days on a substantial scope before the first nail is driven.
