AfterConstruction in Fort Myers, FL
Kitchen remodeling in Fort Myers typically runs $14,000 to $45,000 depending on whether the job stays inside the original footprint or moves plumbing and load-bearing walls in a 1970s-2000s concrete block house. The reason the range is wide here more than in most Florida cities is simple: Hurricane Ian changed how Lee County permits, inspects, and insures residential work, and a kitchen remodel in McGregor Boulevard’s older wood-frame stock is a different job than one in a CBS home in Gateway. Call (470) 298-9650 for a written price before anyone picks up a tool.
Why Fort Myers Homes Are Different
Fort Myers sits at the mouth of the Caloosahatchee River, where Gulf storm surge and inland riverine flooding meet. That convergence is exactly what made Hurricane Ian in September 2022 so destructive, and it’s why Fort Myers construction work is now governed by two overlapping realities: Florida Building Code wind-speed design requirements for Lee County are among the highest assigned to any inland area in the state, and FEMA flood map amendments have pushed large portions of Fort Myers Beach and low-lying inland parcels into higher-hazard zones.
What that means on the ground: a contractor bidding what looks like a standard remodel must know whether the job crosses the “substantial improvement” threshold of 50% of assessed value, which triggers a full freeboard-elevation requirement before repairs can even be permitted. Crews running jobs in the McGregor Boulevard corridor and Dunbar, where older wood-frame homes absorbed disproportionate Ian damage, work with different framing, anchoring, and moisture-mitigation details than crews in CBS communities like Gateway or Lehigh Acres adjacent areas. A contractor from Tampa or Naples might not ask these questions on day one; in Fort Myers they’re baked into every scope.
Our Main Fort Myers Services
Two services draw the most calls from Fort Myers homeowners right now, both shaped by post-Ian realities and Lee County’s permitting environment.
Fence Installation in Fort Myers
Fences in Fort Myers do more than mark a lot line; they take a beating from wind-driven rain, salt air, and post-Ian insurance requirements around pool enclosures and property security. Our written quotes cover vinyl and aluminum systems in the $3,500 to $10,000 range, with the exact number set by linear footage, gate hardware, and whether HOA covenants in communities like Gateway restrict material and height. See the full breakdown on our Fence Installation in Fort Myers page.
Driveway & Pavers in Fort Myers
Driveways here live under harsh sun, heavy afternoon storms, and flood-plain scrutiny, so paver and concrete choices are not interchangeable. A paver driveway in Fort Myers runs $7,000 to $18,000; a poured concrete driveway runs $4,500 to $12,000, with elevation requirements sometimes moving the number before we ever order material. We write every scope and line-item price before work starts. Full ranges are on the Driveway & Pavers in Fort Myers page.

BeforeAfterKitchen Remodeling in Fort Myers
Kitchen remodeling in Fort Myers costs $14,000 to $45,000, with smaller or partial remodels landing between $9,000 and $20,000 depending on whether you’re keeping the existing layout or opening walls. Older wood-frame homes along McGregor Boulevard often hide water intrusion and termite damage behind original drywall, while CBS homes from the 1980s and 1990s in neighborhoods like Gateway present their own challenge: load-bearing concrete block walls that turn a simple cabinet swap into a structural conversation. Our Kitchen Remodeling team writes a flat price and a written scope before any demolition, so you know the number before the first hammer swings.
Cabinets & Countertops
Signs you need it
Door hinges that sag, drawer slides that bind, or laminate counters that have swollen at the seams from years of Fort Myers humidity all point to replacement.
What it costs in Fort Myers
Cabinet installation runs $4,000 to $13,000, and countertop installation runs $2,000 to $6,500, with Cambria and Caesarstone quartz named in the written quote when that’s what you choose.
How we do it
We measure, order, and install in sequence, shimming and leveling against CBS walls that are rarely square, and documenting the substrate condition in the photo record you receive after each visit.
Backsplash, Tile & Flooring
Signs you need it
Grout that stays dark after cleaning or tiles that sound hollow when tapped are the first evidence that moisture has worked its way behind the surface.
What it costs in Fort Myers
Backsplash installation in Fort Myers runs $800 to $2,500; kitchen island installation adds $3,000 to $10,000 to a full remodel.
How we do it
We cut, set, and grout with an eye to the humidity swings that make Fort Myers kitchens expand and contract, then seal every edge that meets a countertop or window.

Do you pull permits for kitchen remodels in Lee County?
Yes. Every job that touches electrical, plumbing, or structural work goes through Lee County permitting with the paperwork included in your scope. The written quote says exactly what gets pulled.
Bathroom Remodeling in Fort Myers
Bathroom remodeling in Fort Myers runs $9,000 to $28,000, with smaller bathrooms coming in between $5,000 and $12,000. The humidity and salt air here find their way behind tile and into subflooring faster than inland Florida, and our Bathroom Remodeling crew opens walls expecting to find what the moisture left behind before we ever quote finishing work.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Signs you need it
Loose tiles, persistent mildew in grout lines, or a shower pan that flexes underfoot are signs water has breached the membrane underneath.
What it costs in Fort Myers
A walk-in shower installation runs $4,500 to $12,000; a shower replacement runs $3,000 to $8,500 in Fort Myers.
How we do it
We strip to the studs, inspect and replace any compromised substrate, install a new waterproof membrane, then tile and seal with materials matched to a humid, salt-adjacent environment.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Signs you need it
A tub that’s hard to step into, a surround that’s cracked or separating from the wall, or nagging water stains on the ceiling below all say the same thing.
What it costs in Fort Myers
Tub-to-shower conversion in Fort Myers runs $3,500 to $10,000, with the final number set by valve placement and drain location.
How we do it
We remove the tub, move the drain and valve if the plan calls for it, line the space with a continuous waterproof membrane, and set the tile or surround of your choice.
What Bathroom Remodeling Costs in Fort Myers
| Item | Typical range in Fort Myers |
|---|---|
| Full Bathroom Remodel | $9,000 - $28,000 |
| Small Bathroom Remodel | $5,000 - $12,000 |
| Walk-In Shower Installation | $4,500 - $12,000 |
How long does a bathroom remodel take in Fort Myers?
Most bathroom remodels finish in two to four weeks once the permit is issued and materials arrive. The written scope includes a timeline before we start. Call (470) 298-9650 for specifics.
Will the price change once the work starts?
Not without a signed change order. Under Clause 1 of the Haven Standard, the written price is the price unless you approve a change in writing, and Fort Myers bathroom jobs stay within a few percent of the agreed number.
Roofing in Fort Myers
Roof replacement in Fort Myers runs $8,000 to $20,000, and roof repair runs $400 to $1,800, with the biggest variable being the condition the last storm left behind. Lee County wind-load requirements demand roof-to-wall connectors and continuous load paths that roofers in lower-wind Florida markets rarely touch, and our Roofing team writes those details into every roof scope from day one.
Roof Replacement & Installation
Signs you need it
Missing or lifting shingles after a storm, granules in the gutters, or daylight visible through the attic sheathing mean the roof’s protective layer is failing.
What it costs in Fort Myers
Roof replacement in Fort Myers runs $8,000 to $20,000, with the number driven by square footage, number of existing shingle layers, and whether the home is CBS or wood-frame.
How we do it
We strip to the deck, inspect and replace damaged sheathing, install new underlayment and a GAF or Owens Corning system with the wind-resistance rating Lee County requires, and document every layer with photos.
Roof Repair
Signs you need it
Water stains on the ceiling after rain, shingles found in the yard, or a post-storm inspection that flagged lifted flashing all demand repair before the next system rolls through.
What it costs in Fort Myers
Roof repair in Fort Myers runs $400 to $1,800, with tile roof repair running $600 to $2,500 when the home has a concrete or clay tile system.
How we do it
We inspect the full roof plane, identify the failed area and any hidden damage from wind-driven rain, replace the damaged components, and seal all penetrations before we call the job done.
What Roofing Costs in Fort Myers
| Item | Typical range in Fort Myers |
|---|---|
| Roof Replacement | $8,000 - $20,000 |
| Roof Repair | $400 - $1,800 |
| Tile Roof Repair | $600 - $2,500 |
Do you handle insurance claims for Fort Myers roofs?
We write a detailed scope with photos and line items that insurance adjusters can read directly. The documentation is yours to submit. Call (470) 298-9650 for an estimate that helps you dispute or approve the claim.
What wind rating does my Fort Myers roof need?
Lee County’s Florida Building Code wind design requirements are among the highest in the state’s inland areas. Your written quote will name the specific rating the system is engineered to meet, not a vague “hurricane-ready” claim.
Windows & Doors in Fort Myers
Window replacement in Fort Myers runs $4,500 to $15,000, and impact window installation runs $8,000 to $25,000 depending on how many openings are glazed and the size of the units. Post-Ian insurance in Lee County increasingly prices policies around impact resistance, and our Windows & Doors team quotes the glazing spec, the wind rating, and the exact hardware brand before you sign anything.
Impact Windows & Doors
Signs you need it
Single-pane windows, wood frames softened by humidity, or an insurance renewal that demands impact-rated glazing before the policy can be written are the three most common triggers in Fort Myers.
What it costs in Fort Myers
Impact window installation in Fort Myers runs $8,000 to $25,000, with the number set by opening size, frame material, and whether doors are included.
How we do it
We measure each opening, order the rated units, remove the old windows, set and flash the new ones to shed wind-driven rain, and test every locking point before leaving.
Window Replacement
Signs you need it
Condensation between panes, sashes that won’t stay open, and energy bills that spike in August all point to failing window performance in a Fort Myers summer.
What it costs in Fort Myers
Window replacement runs $4,500 to $15,000 in Fort Myers; energy-efficient window packages sit at the higher end of that range.
How we do it
We remove the old sashes and frames to inspect the rough opening for rot or termite damage, correct any compromised substrate, then set and seal the new windows in sequence.
What Windows & Doors Costs in Fort Myers
| Item | Typical range in Fort Myers |
|---|---|
| Impact Window Installation | $8,000 - $25,000 |
| Window Replacement | $4,500 - $15,000 |
| Door Installation | From $2,000 (per opening) |
Do impact windows pay for themselves in Fort Myers?
Insurance premium reductions vary by carrier and policy, but the structural argument is direct: impact glazing handles the pressure cycle a Lee County storm brings. Call (470) 298-9650 for a written price you can hand to your agent.
Can you match existing window styles in older Fort Myers homes?
Yes. McGregor Boulevard and Dunbar wood-frame homes often have non-standard openings. We measure each one and specify units that match the architectural lines, not a one-size-fits-all replacement.
Home Additions & ADU in Fort Myers
Home additions in Fort Myers run $45,000 to $130,000, and ADU construction runs $90,000 to $220,000, with the controlling variable often being the FEMA flood map, not the square footage. Substantial-improvement rules mean some additions trigger elevation requirements, and our Home Additions & ADU team runs the math for you before you commit a dollar, because a Fort Myers addition that ignores the 50% threshold can stall at permitting.
ADU Design & Permitting
Signs you need it
You want a rentable unit, a place for aging parents, or a detached office, and Lee County’s current codes require elevation and wind-resistant detailing that a basic design won’t satisfy.
What it costs in Fort Myers
ADU construction in Fort Myers runs $90,000 to $220,000, with the design and permitting package included in the written price.
How we do it
We survey the lot, check the current FEMA flood zone, design to Lee County wind-load and elevation codes, and file the permit package before any site work begins.
Garage Conversion ADU
Signs you need it
A garage that’s storing furniture instead of cars, a growing household, or a desire to add rental income without a new foundation are the usual prompts.
What it costs in Fort Myers
Garage conversion in Fort Myers runs $30,000 to $80,000, with the number driven by whether the slab needs lifting to meet current flood elevation.
How we do it
We inspect the slab and walls, determine whether the 50% substantial-improvement rule applies, design to residential code, and convert the space with the same written-scope discipline as a full addition.
What Home Additions & ADU Costs in Fort Myers
| Item | Typical range in Fort Myers |
|---|---|
| Home Addition | $45,000 - $130,000 |
| ADU Construction | $90,000 - $220,000 |
| Garage Conversion | $30,000 - $80,000 |
Do ADUs in Fort Myers require flood elevation?
Not always, but many low-lying parcels now fall under FEMA’s higher-hazard zones after the post-Ian map amendments. We check the current map and tell you in writing whether your ADU must be elevated before it can be permitted.
How do I know if my addition crosses the 50% threshold?
The threshold compares the cost of improvements to the assessed value of the structure. We calculate it as part of every Fort Myers addition scope and document the result. Call (470) 298-9650 for an estimate that includes this step.

We quote, service, and install across a deep bench of our brands, including GAF and Owens Corning roofing systems, Cambria and Caesarstone countertops, and Kohler and Toto fixtures.

What pushes a Fort Myers price up is rarely the labor rate; it’s elevation requirements, post-Ian code mandates, and the condition of the framing or substrate we find when we open walls. The written price we deliver before work starts includes what we can see and what the code requires, and every change after that goes through a signed change order, not a surprise invoice.
