Licensed General Contractor CGC1537881

Home Remodeling in Bonita Springs, FL

Bonita Springs sits in Lee County, not Collier, and that changes the paperwork: building permits run through the City of Bonita Springs, inspections follow Lee County's schedule, and many of the neighborhoods that make up the town - Bonita Bay, Pelican Landing, Palmira, Spanish Wells, Bonita National, Village Walk - have architectural review committees that must approve exterior and sometimes interior work before a permit is pulled. We remodel in Bonita Springs from our Naples shop, about twenty-five minutes south, and we handle both layers of approval as part of the job.

The work itself is the same we do in Naples and on Marco Island: kitchen remodels with cabinetry built in our own shop, bathroom renovations with curbless showers and floor-to-ceiling tile, condo and coach-home renovations with the association logistics managed, and whole-home remodels that take a dated plan down to an open one. As a Florida Certified General Contractor (CGC1537881) we carry the license class that allows structural work and buildings of any height, so a wall coming out or a high-rise unit on Bonita Beach Road is within scope, not a referral.

What we handle

  • Lee County permitting. Permit applications, engineering letters for structural changes, and inspection scheduling through the City of Bonita Springs. Lee County reviews and inspects on its own calendar; we plan the schedule around it rather than discovering it mid-project.
  • Gated-community approvals. ARC packages, contractor registration at the gate, vendor insurance requirements, and work-hour rules for Bonita Bay, Pelican Landing, Palmira, Spanish Wells and similar communities - prepared and submitted before demolition, not after.
  • Coastal and flood-zone rules. Homes west of US-41 and along Bonita Beach often sit in FEMA flood zones, where the 50 percent substantial-improvement rule can limit how much you may spend before the whole structure must meet current elevation code. We check the zone and the assessed value before quoting a large remodel.
  • Kitchens, baths and whole-home. Custom cabinetry engineered for Florida humidity, quartz and porcelain surfaces, curbless showers, structural wall removals - one licensed team from demolition to final inspection, with a one-year workmanship warranty in writing.

Frequently asked questions

Do you serve Bonita Springs, or only Naples?

Bonita Springs is part of our everyday service area. Our shop and showroom are in Naples, roughly twenty-five minutes south on US-41 or I-75, and we work in Bonita Springs, Estero and the beach communities regularly. It is on our Google listing as a service area for that reason.

Who issues the building permit in Bonita Springs?

The City of Bonita Springs Community Development department, with inspections under Lee County rules. It is a different office and a different portal from Collier County, and permit turnaround times differ. We pull the permit as the licensed contractor of record; you never have to file as an owner-builder.

My community has an architectural review board. Does that slow things down?

It adds a step, not a problem, as long as it is done first. Most Bonita Springs gated communities require ARC approval for exterior changes, and some for interior structural work or anything visible from outside. We prepare the package - drawings, product sheets, insurance certificates, contractor registration - and submit it before the permit, so the two approvals run in parallel instead of one blocking the other.

What does a remodel cost in Bonita Springs?

The same ranges we publish for Naples apply: kitchens from about $15,000 for a cosmetic refresh to $75,000 for a full remodel with custom cabinetry and $150,000 or more when walls move; bathrooms from roughly $12,000 to $55,000 taken to the studs; a full condo or coach-home unit usually between $60,000 and $150,000. Every project gets a written, line-item proposal before work starts. See the cost guide for what moves a project inside those bands.

What is the FEMA 50 percent rule and does it affect my Bonita Springs home?

In a FEMA special flood hazard area, if the cost of improvements over a rolling period exceeds 50 percent of the structure's assessed value, the whole building must be brought up to current flood-elevation code. That can turn a large remodel into a much larger project. Older single-story homes near the beach and along the Imperial River are the ones most often affected. We check the flood zone and the property appraiser's value at the estimate stage so there are no surprises at permitting.

Can you remodel a condo on Bonita Beach Road or in a high-rise?

Yes. Our license class (Certified General Contractor) covers structures of any height, and condo renovation is a large part of our work in Naples. The association package, certificate of insurance, elevator reservation and seasonal work window are handled the same way we handle them in Pelican Bay or on Marco Island.

How long does a kitchen or bathroom remodel take in Bonita Springs?

Kitchens typically run eight to fourteen weeks on site once cabinets arrive, and four to seven months from first meeting to completion including design, ARC and permit approval and cabinet lead time. Bathrooms usually run four to eight weeks on site. Lee County inspection scheduling and community work-hour rules are the local variables; we build them into the schedule you sign.

Do you offer a warranty on your work?

Yes - every project carries our one-year workmanship warranty in writing. If something we built or installed fails within the first year because of our workmanship, we come back and make it right at no cost. Manufacturer warranties on cabinets, fixtures and appliances apply on top of ours.
