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.
Marco Island general contracting is dominated by hurricane-recovery rebuilds, beachfront condo unit remodels, and HOA-approved upgrades. Marco Island city ordinances + Collier County permitting + multiple HOA review boards all apply.
Our Marco Island crew works across the full city — from Tigertail Beach, Marco Island Historical Museum, Cape Romano Dome House (offshore), JW Marriott Marco Beach Resort, Hideaway Beach Club — and we're familiar with how general construction scope changes between Old Marco and Hideaway Beach.
Marco Island disaster history: Hurricane Ian (2022), Hurricane Irma (2017 — eye passed near here), Hurricane Wilma (2005). Post-storm rebuild work in this city often requires code upgrades to current hurricane standards.
If you bought a 1970s or 1980s single-family in Old Marco or on Hideaway Beach, the remodel you priced isn't the remodel you'll actually do. Two things bite every Marco general construction project: the FEMA substantial-improvement rule (50% of market value triggers full code-current elevation in a V-zone or AE-zone), and the condo-unit logistics that Cape Coral homeowners never deal with. Collier County permitting and the City of Marco Island Building Department will catch both — and so will we, on the first walk-through, before you sign anything.
After Ian, the City of Marco Island tightened enforcement on the 50% rule. A pre-FIRM (pre-1974) home in a VE flood zone — most of the Gulf-front and bayfront single-family stock — that takes a remodel exceeding 50% of its appraised structure value triggers full elevation to current Base Flood Elevation plus freeboard. That's a different project entirely: pilings, breakaway walls, code-compliant V-zone construction. We model the calculation before design freezes, using current Collier County Property Appraiser values and the real scope priced. Sometimes the right answer is a tear-down and rebuild on pilings. Sometimes it's scaling the project to stay under threshold. Either way, the homeowner makes the decision before they pay for engineering they can't use.
A unit remodel at Cape Marco, Princess del Mar, or any of the Collier Boulevard towers runs on the association's rules, not the contractor's preferences. Work hours are typically 8am to 4pm Monday through Friday — no weekends. Service-elevator reservations get booked weeks ahead. Floor protection in the corridor, plywood in the elevator car, and a noise-controlled demo schedule are non-negotiable. We submit the association's required Architectural Modification Application — engineered plans, contractor licensing, liability insurance certificates — before the City of Marco Island building permit application goes in. That parallel-track filing keeps the calendar moving.
Most of the Marco rebuild work post-Ian is for owners who live somewhere else nine months a year. We run weekly video walkthroughs, post-photo updates to a project portal the owner can access from anywhere, and route all change orders through written approval — never "I'll let you know when I'm down next." Material lead times on Marco run longer than the mainland because everything crosses the Jolley Bridge on a delivery schedule; we sequence procurement so cabinets and tile don't sit in the unit drawing humidity for six weeks before install.
We run general construction on Marco with the assumption that the property is older than the listing said, the FEMA flood zone matters more than the homeowner realized, and the HOA review is half the calendar. Permits, ARB approvals, V-zone engineering where required, and a written scope priced before demo. That is how a Marco Island remodel ends on budget for an owner in Cleveland.
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 Marco Island general construction crew dispatches across the full city — from Old Marco, Hideaway Beach, Marco Beach, Tigertail Beach, Estates, Smokehouse Bay, South Beach, Caxambas, covering ZIP codes 34145. Permit and HOA review requirements vary widely across Marco Island's neighborhoods — we navigate both.
Marco Island insurance carriers we work with: Citizens Coastal Account VE/V zones, high-value carriers, NFIP. 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:
All services in Marco Island →V-zone rebuilds on Marco Island are governed by FEMA V-zone construction standards plus current Florida Building Code 8th edition for the High Velocity Hurricane Zone-adjacent wind speeds. Lowest horizontal structural member must be at or above BFE plus freeboard, supported by piles or columns designed for breaking-wave forces. Enclosures below BFE must be flood-vented or break-away. Foundation engineering, geotechnical work for pile design, and certified surveys for elevation certificates run 8-12 weeks before vertical construction starts. Total rebuild timeline on a typical Marco Island single-family is 14-22 months from substantial-damage determination to certificate of occupancy. We coordinate with Marco Island's floodplain administrator throughout.
FEMA's 50% rule (substantial damage / substantial improvement) applies when the cost of repairs or improvements equals or exceeds 50% of the structure's pre-damage market value, land excluded. On Marco Island, the city's floodplain administrator makes this determination using market value from the property appraiser or an independent appraisal. Hitting 50% triggers full compliance with current V-zone or AE-zone construction standards, which usually means elevating the structure. We provide pre-permit cost assessments so owners can see whether a planned scope is going to cross the threshold — sometimes phasing work or scope adjustments keep a remodel under 50%, sometimes a full rebuild is more economical.
Cape Marco and other Marco Island towers have detailed contractor rules: COIs naming the association, freight-elevator-only access with pads installed, work hours typically 8 AM-5 PM weekdays, mandatory dust containment on common-area floors, noise restrictions (no jackhammering after 4 PM), and approved trades lists for plumbing penetrations through fire-rated slabs. We pre-submit our schedule, trade list, and material delivery plan to the property manager. Demo waste gets bagged and elevator-handled per HOA spec — no rolling dumpsters through lobbies. Typical full-unit remodel runs 12-20 weeks; the HOA logistics add roughly 15-25% to baseline construction time compared to a single-family home.
Yes. Hideaway Beach custom rebuilds combine V-zone engineering with the community's architectural review requirements — both have to be satisfied in parallel. We engage a structural engineer for pile foundation design, a coastal engineer where breakwall or seawall scope is involved, and an architect familiar with Hideaway's ARB standards. Permit packages run through Marco Island's building department and the ARB simultaneously, then through Collier County for any environmental review on the bay or Gulf side. Construction sequencing accounts for hurricane season — we don't leave incomplete envelopes through June-November. Budget transparency and weekly owner draws with photo documentation are standard on our custom work.
Partial retrofits are possible and often economical for Marco Island homes that don't trigger the 50% rule. Common scopes: window and door replacement to current impact ratings (DP50 minimum for most of the island), roof replacement to current secondary water barrier and fastening standards, garage door reinforcement, soffit and fascia upgrades for wind resistance, and exterior wall sheathing improvements during stucco recoats. Each scope independently improves wind insurance ratings — we coordinate documentation for Citizens or your private wind carrier to capture premium reductions. Strategic retrofit sequencing can deliver most of the benefit of a full rebuild over 3-5 years without forcing elevation.
