General contractors in Pine Island, FL

Pine Island is a rural island west of Cape Coral, reached through Matlacha on a single road, with fishing villages, tropical fruit nurseries and older waterfront homes. Hurricane Ian hit the island hard in 2022 and washed out the road at the Matlacha bridge, cutting the island off until crews restored access days later. We'll connect Pine Island homeowners with licensed contractors who make the trip.

Building and remodeling in Pine Island: what to know

  • Pine Island and Matlacha are unincorporated Lee County, so Lee County issues permits and inspections.
  • Much of the island is low-lying and in FEMA flood zones, so storm repairs and remodels often run into elevation and 50% rule questions.
  • Pine Island Road is the only way on and off, which can affect material deliveries and how often crews can get out.
  • Many homes are older or manufactured, and wind and surge damage from Ian left lots of roof and structural repairs.
