Southwest Florida General Contractor
The Contractor You Trust With the Storm. Now Building the Rest.
We're a licensed Fort Myers general contractor. We build new and renovate existing property for homeowners, property managers, and commercial owners across Southwest Florida.
What Our General Contracting Covers.
Ground-Up Construction
New residential and commercial buildings from site work through certificate of occupancy. Plans, permitting, trade coordination, and a single contractor accountable from the first inspection to the last.
Kitchen Remodels
Full kitchen renovation for homes and condo units across Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Bonita Springs, and Naples. Layout changes, cabinetry, counters, and the trade coordination that keeps a kitchen project from stalling halfway through.
Bathroom Remodels
Primary baths, guest baths, and multi-bath projects in single-family homes and condo units. Bathroom renovation is the most common way owners in Southwest Florida first work with a general contractor, and it is the fastest way to find out whether a contractor communicates well.
Flooring
Removal, subfloor prep, and installation across whole homes or individual rooms. Coastal properties put demands on flooring that inland homes do not, and material choice matters more here.
Whole-Home & Condo Unit Renovation
Multi-room and full-unit renovations where the kitchen, baths, and flooring get handled under one contract instead of three.
Commercial Build-Outs
Tenant improvement and build-out work for commercial spaces, including restaurants, retail, and office. Phased schedules and coordination around your operating hours.
Commercial or Residential?
Start Where Your Property Fits.
The scope, permitting path, and schedule look different depending on the building. Choose the option that matches yours.
Commercial Contracting
Condominium associations, HOA communities, apartment complexes, hotels and resorts, retail centers, and medical and office buildings. Phased schedules, board and property manager coordination, and occupied-building logistics.

Waterfront homes, single-family residences, and individual condo units. Remodels, storm hardening, and repair work for owners who want the job done once and done correctly.
Start a residential projectContracting Is Where We Started.
Emerald Green began as a contracting company. We remodeled and rebuilt property across Southwest Florida, and a large share of that work was repairing buildings that had flooded. After enough rebuilds, the pattern was impossible to ignore: owners kept paying to restore the same rooms every few years because nothing was stopping water at the door.
How Flood Protection Began
That is how the flood protection side of this business started. We went looking for something better than what was on the market, installed it, and became one of a small number of Florida contractors doing that work correctly.
The Contracting Never Stopped
It has been running in the background while flood protection took the spotlight. Same license, same crews, same standards on a kitchen as on a building envelope.
Why Timing Matters on a Florida Build.
When crews across the region are not tied up in storm response, the parts of a project you do not control start moving faster.
Permit Review Is Shorter
Lee, Collier, Charlotte, and Sarasota county permitting moves faster when the region is not recovering from an event.
Materials Arrive On Schedule
Cabinetry, tile, and custom orders all stretch once regional demand spikes.
A Scheduled Crew, Not an Emergency Slot
Your project gets a scheduled crew instead of an emergency slot.
Finished Before the Season Turns
A renovation completed in spring is a renovation you are not living through in September.
One Mobilization, One Crew
Owners planning both a remodel and flood protection get the most out of a single window. Sequencing them together means one mobilization and one crew in your home instead of opening the same wall twice.
Licensed, Insured, and Accountable.
Florida has a large population of contractors bidding work they are not licensed or insured to perform. The initial cost looks better. The outcome rarely is, and the liability lands on the property owner.
The Standard We Bring
Emerald Green holds Florida general contractor licensing and carries full insurance on every project. We have completed more than 700 flood protection installations in Florida, and we bring the same standards to renovation and repair work. We are not the lowest bid on most projects. We are the contractor who returns calls, over-communicates on schedule, and makes it right when something goes sideways.
Ask for the License and COI
Ask any contractor bidding your project for their license number and a current certificate of insurance. If it takes more than a day to produce, that answers the question.
Two Current Florida Licenses
CGC1538211, Certified General Contractor, and CRC1334485, Certified Residential Contractor. Both are current and both are certified rather than registered, which is what allows us to build anywhere in the state instead of one county.

-
Step 2

Line-item pricing, materials, timeline, and permit path. Every project prices differently because every Florida property sits differently.
-
Step 3
Permitting and Scheduling
We pull permits, coordinate inspections, and lock the calendar.

Step 4
Build and Close Out
Daily jobsite communication, then final walkthrough and punch list before we call it done.
Honest Answers
General Contracting Questions We Hear Most.
Do you build new homes and buildings?
Yes. We handle ground-up construction on both residential and commercial projects, along with remodels, renovations, and build-outs on existing property.
Do I need a general contractor for a bathroom or kitchen remodel?
Anything that moves plumbing, alters electrical, or changes structure requires permits and a licensed general contractor. Unpermitted renovation work becomes a problem at resale and can complicate an insurance claim.
Can you work in an occupied home or business?
Yes. We phase the schedule, contain dust and noise, and keep access open.
Will you install flood protection during a renovation?
Yes, and that is the most efficient time to do it. Combining a remodel with flood barrier installation or Storm Armour means one permit cycle and one crew on site.
What does a remodel cost?
Pricing runs by scope, property type, and site conditions, so we quote after the on-site assessment rather than from a rate sheet. The assessment is free.
