Kitchen Remodeling · Fort Myers
What Fort Myers Kitchens Usually Need
Hurricane Ian's surge flooded homes in Iona, along the Caloosahatchee and near Fort Myers Beach, and in a flooded kitchen the base cabinets, toe-kicks and lower drywall go first. A lot of those kitchens were replaced quickly with whatever cabinets were in stock, and some were never finished properly. We see swollen particleboard boxes, counters set on out-of-level cabinets and appliances on circuits that were never permitted.
South Fort Myers is full of 1970s and 1980s gated golf communities with closed kitchens, soffits hiding ductwork and small electrical panels. Those are the kitchens where opening a wall, removing soffits and adding the circuits a modern kitchen needs make the biggest difference, and where HOA rules apply to anything visible outside. Along McGregor Boulevard, older homes need the same care with plumbing and wiring that any 1950s house does.
In a flood zone, kitchen cost counts toward the FEMA 50% substantial-improvement rule, and after Ian many Fort Myers homes are already close to that line. We check your zone and the structure value before you commit, and we can suggest water-tolerant choices, such as plywood boxes on legs or porcelain floors, if the house could flood again.

Prestigious Home Improvements: 5.0 stars on Google from Southwest Florida homeowners.
Real reviews from real jobs, posted on Google, Yelp and the BBB. Names shortened for privacy.
“We found Prestigious Improvements at the Sarasota home show last year among a number of contractor exhibits. The bid and project was to replace an original exterior aluminum wall and storm door on the back of our lanai constructed circa 1985. … The windows and door are storm rated; the interior was finished to match the room walls, paint color and textures. While the project duration went longer than expected due to building permit issues and inspection scheduling, the finished product is well-done with quality materials and workmanship.”
Ronald S.Manatee County · Lanai wall rebuild & storm doorGoogle “We are so glad that we chose Prestigious Home Improvement (out of 4 companies we received quotes from). It truly is a family business and Tim and Vlad are extremely knowledgeable in the skills needed for executing replacement and installation of doors and windows according to county building codes. … Tim was very good in keeping us advised as to the timeline for the supplies and he worked around our calendar needs as well. We highly recommend this small, family owned and operated business!”
