Grab bar installation in Southwest Florida typically runs $150–$400 per bar, depending on wall type, bar style, and location.

A full remodel typically involves replacing or reconstructing major structural elements — gutting a kitchen, converting a shower, removing walls. A refresh is more cosmetic — new paint, updated fixtures, fresh tile, new flooring — without major structural work. Refreshes are faster, less disruptive, and cost significantly less, but can still dramatically transform how a home looks and feels. We help every Southwest Florida homeowner find the right scope for their goals and budget. See our home renovations page.

Yes — for the scope of plumbing and electrical work that goes with most remodels (fixture installation, faucet hookups, ceiling fan installation, light fixture installation, outlet additions where wiring exists), our team handles it all in-house. You don't need to coordinate separate licensed tradespeople for these tasks. For work requiring new circuits, panel upgrades, new pipe rough-in, or permits, we'll refer you to the right licensed professional. See our plumbing & electrical page.

No — we do not provide tile roof repair or roof tile replacement. We provide floor tile installation, bathroom tile installation, kitchen backsplash tile, and tile repair for interior floor and wall tile. For tile roof repair in Southwest Florida, please contact a licensed roofing contractor. See our tile installation page for what we do offer.

Yes — impact window installation (also called hurricane window installation) and impact door installation are services we provide throughout Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Naples, and all of Southwest Florida. We install Florida Building Code-compliant, impact-rated products that can significantly reduce your homeowner's insurance premiums through wind mitigation credits. See our doors & windows page.

Yes — outdoor and wet-rated ceiling fan installation on lanais and covered patios is one of our most common services throughout Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Naples, Marco Island, and all of SWFL. We install outdoor-rated fans where existing wiring is present and use weatherproof mounts suited for Southwest Florida's humidity and salt air. See our electrical services page.

We coordinate with building management, work within HOA guidelines, and deliver results that meet community standards throughout Naples, Marco Island, Fort Myers Beach, Bonita Springs, Sanibel Island, Captiva Island, and all of SWFL.

Yes — storm damage repair is one of our most important services throughout Southwest Florida. After a hurricane or tropical storm, we address the full scope of post-storm repairs: water-damaged drywall, torn screens and screen enclosures, damaged fencing, broken doors and windows, caulking failures, and more. We serve Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Naples, Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel Island, and all of SWFL.

Aging in place means modifying a home so an older adult can live there safely and independently as long as possible. In Southwest Florida — one of the largest senior communities in the country — most older adults want to stay in the homes and neighborhoods they love. The right modifications (grab bars, walk-in showers, wheelchair ramps, improved lighting) make that possible at a fraction of the cost of assisted living. See our senior home services page.

Yes — completely free, with no obligation whatsoever. We walk through the home, complete a full room-by-room assessment, and provide a written report with findings and prioritized recommendations at no cost. If the homeowner decides to proceed with any modifications, we provide detailed estimates for each item. If they choose not to, that's perfectly fine. Call 239-288-0033 to schedule anywhere in Southwest Florida. See our home safety assessment page.

The modifications that make the biggest difference for most seniors are grab bars in the bathroom (shower, tub, and near the toilet), walk-in shower conversions, improved nighttime lighting, handrails on both sides of stairs, and removal of tripping hazards. For seniors with mobility aids, wheelchair ramp installation and doorway widening are often high priorities. Our free home assessment identifies the right priorities for each specific home throughout Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Naples, and all of SWFL. See our aging in place modifications page.

Most Southwest Florida homes benefit from an exterior repaint every 5–7 years when high-quality, UV-resistant paint is properly applied. Homes near the coast (Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel Island, Marco Island, Cape Coral waterfront) may need repainting more frequently due to salt air exposure. Signs it's time: fading, chalking, peeling, or bubbling. We provide exterior painting throughout Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Naples, and all of SWFL. See our painting services page.

In Southwest Florida, we recommend gutter cleaning at least twice a year — once in the spring before hurricane season, and once in the fall after it ends. Florida's heavy summer rainfall can quickly overwhelm clogged gutters, causing water to back up against your roofline and pour down your exterior walls. We provide gutter cleaning throughout Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Naples, and all of SWFL. See our repairs & maintenance page.

For most Southwest Florida homeowners, yes — impact windows (also called hurricane windows) are one of the best investments you can make. They provide permanent storm protection without deploying shutters before every storm, reduce energy costs, block UV, and significantly reduce outside noise. Most importantly, they typically qualify your home for wind mitigation insurance credits that can save hundreds to thousands of dollars annually — often offsetting a significant portion of the installation cost over time. See our doors & windows page.

Porcelain tile is consistently the top choice for SWFL homes — cool underfoot in the heat, moisture-proof, durable, and easy to clean after beach days. Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) is the second most popular option — 100% waterproof, comfortable, and available in beautiful wood-look finishes that handle Florida's humidity without warping like real hardwood. Both are far better choices for SWFL's climate than traditional hardwood or laminate. We install all flooring types throughout Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Naples, and all of SWFL. See our tile & flooring page.

Florida's humidity corrodes sliding door tracks and degrades rollers faster than almost any other climate in the country. Salt air near the coast accelerates the process even further. A door that binds, jumps its track, or won't lock properly is both a security and storm risk. We repair sliding glass doors throughout Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Naples, Fort Myers Beach, and all of SWFL — track replacement, roller replacement, and lock hardware repair. See our doors & windows page.

No — never paint over a water stain without first addressing what caused it and cutting out any water-damaged drywall. In Southwest Florida's humidity, drywall that has gotten wet and wasn't dried out properly is a mold risk. Mold can begin growing in as little as 24–48 hours. Painting over the stain simply covers the problem while it worsens behind your walls. We handle water-damaged drywall repair throughout Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Naples, and all of SWFL. See our drywall repair page.
