FAQ
1This is the 1st question
In Marco Island and Collier County, permits are required for most significant residential construction, such as:
-Full home remodels, kitchen/bath renovations with structural or mechanical changes
-Additions, pools, screen enclosures, detached garages, and boat lifts
-Painting, minor landscaping, and cosmetic updates generally do not require permits unless affecting electrical/plumbing systems
Builder experience is key a qualified contractor will navigate the local permitting process effectively
2How long does it take to complete a home renovation or new build on Marco Island?
Timelines depend on project scope, permitting, and seasonal demand:
-Permit approval: Typically takes 4 to 6 weeks for both remodels and new builds in Marco Island or Collier County. More complex projects may require up to 2 months.
-Home remodels: Most interior remodels like kitchens, bathrooms, or flooring updates take 2 to 6 months, depending on material lead times and subcontractor availability. Full-home renovations or major structural changes can extend up to 8 months.
-New home construction: From ground-breaking to move-in, most custom home builds take 10 to 14 months. This includes excavation, concrete, framing, finishes, inspections, and final walk-throughs.

3What remodeling upgrades add the most value to homes on Marco Island?
The most valuable remodeling upgrades for Marco Island homes typically focus on hurricane resilience, modern coastal style, and outdoor living:
-Impact-resistant windows and doors
-Open-concept kitchens with quartz countertops
-Bathroom renovations with walk-in showers and modern tile
-Lanai and outdoor kitchen additions
-Energy-efficient HVAC and insulation upgrades
Waterfront buyers often prioritize dock access, seawall maintenance, and pool renovations, so aligning your remodel with what local buyers seek can significantly boost resale value.
4Can I remove a wall to create an open-concept layout in my Marco Island home?
Yes, but removing a wall requires a structural assessment. On Marco Island, many homes have load-bearing walls, especially in older construction. Before any wall is removed, we need to do an assessment or structural engineer must determine:
-Whether it's load-bearing
-If reinforcements (like a beam or LVL) are needed
-How the change impacts permitting and code compliance
-Open-concept renovations are popular for enhancing resale value and livability, but they must meet Florida Building Code and local wind-load requirements.
5Can you raise ceiling heights or reconfigure the roofline during a remodel?
In many cases, yes, especially with older Marco Island homes that have lower ceilings or outdated rooflines. Raising ceilings or altering the roof pitch involves:
-Structural engineering review
-Updated truss or rafter design
-Roof permitting and hurricane compliance
-Potential FEMA and flood zone considerations
These upgrades dramatically enhance the sense of space and natural light, and they’re increasingly common in luxury home renovations.
