Kitchen Remodel Cost in Fort Myers
A kitchen remodel in Fort Myers typically costs $10,000 to $68,000, depending on scope — from a cosmetic cabinet-and-countertop refresh up to a full gut-and-rebuild with structural changes. D&Co Homes is a licensed general contractor (CGC1531095) serving Lee County, and every kitchen quote we give comes with a written, fixed-price scope of work before you sign anything.

If you've been comparing "kitchen reno near me" quotes and the numbers don't line up, it's almost always because the scopes aren't actually the same job. We put the exact scope in writing.
Permits & Regulation in Fort Myers
Kitchen renovations in Fort Myers typically require a building permit for any structural change, a separate electrical permit for new appliance circuits or added lighting, and a plumbing permit if a sink is relocated. Submittal generally requires scaled drawings showing both the existing and proposed layout, reviewed through Lee County Contractor Licensing.
Lee County is not in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone — HVHZ applies only to Miami-Dade and Broward counties. Lee County instead falls under Florida's Wind-Borne Debris Region, a separate set of standards that still requires impact-rated or properly protected windows and doors on anything replaced during the remodel, including a kitchen window over a sink.
Cabinet refacing alone, with no electrical or plumbing change, is typically the one scope that stays permit-exempt.

Know Who's Working In Your Home
Florida's Department of Business and Professional Regulation has run joint enforcement operations with the Lee County Sheriff's Office specifically targeting unlicensed contractors who prey on homeowners with storm-related repairs — roofing, flood damage, mold remediation, window replacement, pool-cage repair, and structural work. Lee County remains a frequent target for these scams because so many homes still carry hurricane-related repair needs, and out-of-area crews often pressure homeowners to sign quickly before verifying credentials.
Before hiring anyone for a kitchen remodel in Fort Myers, verify their license number directly at myfloridalicense.com, and confirm in writing that they intend to pull the permit themselves.

Common Questions
A kitchen remodel here costs $10,000-$68,000 depending on scope. A Cosmetic Refresh (cabinet refacing, new countertops, hardware) runs $10,000-$18,000. A Mid-Range Remodel (semi-custom cabinets, quartz countertops, new appliances) runs $26,000-$42,000. A Full Gut & Rebuild (custom cabinetry, structural changes, full plumbing and electrical) runs $42,000-$68,000.
Yes, in most cases. Structural changes need a building permit, new appliance circuits or added lighting need an electrical permit, and relocating a sink needs a plumbing permit, all reviewed through Lee County Contractor Licensing. Cabinet refacing alone with no other changes is typically the only permit-exempt scope.
No. HVHZ applies only to Miami-Dade and Broward counties. This falls under Florida's Wind-Borne Debris Region instead, a separate set of standards that still requires impact-rated or properly protected windows and doors on anything replaced during the remodel.
