Why Storm Damage Restoration in Fort Myers Is Different

Storm damage restoration in Southwest Florida is not the same as anywhere else. Hurricane Ian rewrote the rule book in September 2022, and every restoration project since has responded to a stricter Florida Building Code than it did three years prior. Roof tie-downs, wind-mitigation reinforcement, impact-rated openings, and base flood elevation rules all factor into how a home gets put back together after a storm.

The other thing that changed after Ian is who is doing the work. Hundreds of out-of-state contractors set up shop in Lee County and Collier County after the storm, advertising restoration services and chasing insurance money. Many had never pulled a permit in Florida. Many will be gone by the next storm season. Homeowners who hired those crews are still untangling change orders, unfinished work, and insurance disputes three years later.

Tri-Town has held Florida General Contractor license CGC1512714 since 2006, restoring storm-damaged homes across Lee County and Collier County. We were here before Irma. We were here before Ian. We will be here for whatever comes next, which means the warranty on our restoration work is backed by a contractor who is still answering the phone five years from now.

From hurricane and wind damage to flood, fire, and emergency roof repair, every project gets engineered, permitted, and built inside one licensed team. Our in-house team handles insurance documentation and claim coordination from the first photo to the final check. Every completed restoration is backed by a 3-year workmanship warranty.

WHAT WE RESTORE

Six Ways We Help You Recover From Storm Damage

Storm damage restoration is not one product. It has four restoration paths plus two cross-cutting services that touch every project. Each path below is permitted under license CGC1512714 and engineered to current Florida Building Code wind-load standards. The right path for you depends on the damage your home sustained.

Hurricane Damage Repair

Complete storm recovery for homes damaged by hurricane wind, wind-driven rain, storm surge, or debris impact. Structural framing repairs, exterior envelope reconstruction, interior rebuild, and full code-upgrade work to bring the home above pre-storm condition. The right scope for homes that need a full restoration after a major storm event, not a single-trade repair.

Roof Storm Damage

Emergency tarping, full roof replacement, and roof structural repair after wind, hail, or debris damage. Tri-Town holds Florida Roofing license CCC1329614 in addition to General Contractor license CGC1512714, so the same team that diagnoses your roof damage also rebuilds it. Wind-mitigation documentation goes straight to your insurance carrier for premium credits.

Flood Damage Restoration

Water damage recovery from storm surge, river flooding, broken plumbing, or roof leaks. Drying and dehumidification, mold remediation under Florida MRSA license MRSA729, drywall and insulation replacement, flooring rebuild, and code-upgrade reconstruction. Speed matters here. Mold establishes within 24 to 48 hours of standing water.

Fire Damage Restoration

Full fire recovery from structural rebuild through smoke and soot remediation, content cleaning coordination, and finish reconstruction. Smoke damage often travels far beyond visible burn areas through HVAC systems and wall cavities, which is why a licensed GC needs to scope the full extent before any rebuild plan gets priced. Insurance documentation handled from day one.

Insurance Claim Assistance

Documenting damage, coordinating with adjusters, providing line-item scope of work matched to insurance estimating software, and advocating for fair settlement amounts. We are not a public adjuster, but we work alongside yours, or directly with your carrier, to make sure the scope of work the carrier approves matches what your home actually needs. This service runs alongside every restoration project we take on.

24/7 Emergency Services

Around-the-clock emergency response for active water intrusion, structural concerns, exposed building envelope, or post-fire site security. We respond to emergency calls 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Initial site protection, emergency tarping, water extraction, and damage assessment all available before the sun comes up. Stabilization first, restoration plan second

Why A Locally Established Design-Build Firm Beats An Out-of-State Storm-Chaser Every Time

This is the section every Fort Myers homeowner needs to read before signing a restoration contract.

After Hurricane Ian leveled neighborhoods across Southwest Florida in September 2022, hundreds of out-of-state contractors set up shop and started knocking on doors. They had trucks. They had business cards. Some had Florida licenses pulled days before they hit the road. Almost none of them had ever pulled a permit in Lee County before September of that year.

Three years later, many of those companies are gone. The trucks rolled out as soon as the easy insurance money dried up. Homeowners who hired them are still chasing them down for unfinished work, dealing with unpermitted construction caught by inspectors, paying out of pocket for repairs the original contractor was supposed to cover under warranty, and explaining the situation to their insurance carriers.

Tri-Town has held Florida General Contractor license CGC1512714 and built homes from Fort Myers since 2006. We were here for Irma in 2017. We were here for Ian in 2022. We will be here for the next storm, because Fort Myers is our home, not a market we are passing through.

That means when you sign a restoration contract with Tri-Town, the warranty is backed by a contractor who is still answering the phone five years from now. The 3-year workmanship warranty covers labor and installation across every trade we supervised. The team that did the work is the team that fixes it if something fails.

Why Choose Tri-Town Construction?

Plenty of contractors will quote you a restoration. Fewer will hold the price they quoted on day one. Fewer still will honor the warranty two years after the final walkthrough. Since 2006, we have built our reputation on one thing: finishing what we start, and standing behind it.

Locally Established Since 2006

Eighteen-plus years building and restoring homes in Fort Myers. Through Wilma in 2005, Irma in 2017, and Ian in 2022. We know the Lee County and Collier County inspectors, the local insurance adjusters, and the permit paths that storm-chaser crews are still figuring out on the fly.

One License, End-to-End

Design, permits, insurance coordination, and every trade live under a single contract. No finger-pointing between a roofer, a remediation crew, a GC, and an insurance adjuster. Our license CGC1512714 covers your restoration, start to finish, across Southwest Florida.

Multi-License Coverage In-House

General Contractor license CGC1512714. Roofing license CCC1329614. Mold Remediation license MRSA729. Home Inspector license HI3275. The licenses your restoration project actually needs are all already held by one team.

24/7 Emergency Response

Around-the-clock emergency phone line. Initial site protection, emergency tarping, water extraction, and damage assessment all available before the sun comes up. Stabilization first, restoration plan second.

Insurance Claim Advocacy

Documenting damage from day one with the level of detail insurance adjusters and estimating software expect. Line-item scope of work, photo documentation, and code-upgrade justifications all included. We work alongside your public adjuster, or directly with your carrier, depending on how you choose to file.

3-Year Workmanship Warranty

Every completed restoration in Southwest Florida is backed by our 3-year workmanship warranty. This covers labor and installation across every trade we supervised. Manufacturer coverage on roofing, windows, and materials stays separate.

PROCESS

Our Fort Myers Storm Damage Restoration Process

Five clear stages. No surprises. Every Southwest Florida homeowner deserves to know exactly what happens with their restoration at each step.

24/7 Emergency Call & Site Stabilization

Call our 24-hour emergency line. We dispatch within the same day for active water intrusion, exposed building envelope, or post-fire security concerns. Initial site protection happens before anything else: emergency tarping, water extraction, board-up, and basic stabilization to prevent further damage. This step protects both your home and your insurance claim.

Damage Assessment & Documentation

Our licensed Home Inspector (HI3275) walks the home with you and documents every square inch of damage with photos, moisture readings, and a written scope of work. This documentation goes straight to your insurance carrier. The level of detail matters. Adjusters approve scope based on what is documented, not what is verbally described.

Insurance Coordination & Scope Approval

We coordinate with your insurance adjuster, your public adjuster if you have one, and your carrier directly to get the right scope approved. Line-item costs matched to estimating software (Xactimate or similar). Code-upgrade items called out separately so you receive the law and ordinance coverage you are owed. Most claims take 2 to 8 weeks for scope approval.

Permits, Engineering & Procurement

Once the scope is approved, we pull every required permit through Lee County or Collier County and order long-lead items to your spec. Structural changes get stamped by a licensed engineer before submission. Roofing materials, impact windows, and finish materials factor into your schedule up front.

Restoration & Weekly Updates

Demo of damaged materials, structural repair, rough trades, drywall, finishes, and final walkthrough all run on schedule. Your project manager sends a weekly progress update with photos so you and your insurance carrier always know exactly what is happening on site.

Final Walkthrough, 3-Year Warranty & Carrier Closeout

We run a detailed punch list and final walkthrough before closing out the project. Final certificate of occupancy where required. Final invoices and closeout documentation go to your insurance carrier. Your 3-year workmanship warranty activates at project completion. Any defect in labor or installation inside that window gets fixed on our dime.

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast can you respond after a storm or emergency?

Our emergency phone line answers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Same-day dispatch for active water intrusion, exposed building envelope, structural concerns, or post-fire site security. Initial site protection and emergency tarping typically happen within hours of your call. Full damage assessment follows within 24 to 48 hours. After a major storm event affecting the entire region, response times stretch, but local clients always come first.

How do I tell a real Fort Myers contractor from a storm-chaser?

Check the Florida DBPR license database for the contractor’s name and license number. A real local contractor will have license history going back years before the most recent storm. Storm-chasers typically pull a Florida license days or weeks before showing up. Ask how many homes the contractor has built or restored in Lee County specifically. Ask whether they will still be at the same phone number in five years. Tri-Town’s license CGC1512714 has been active since 2006.

Will you work directly with my insurance carrier?

Yes. We document damage to the level of detail insurance estimating software expects, provide line-item scope of work, and coordinate directly with your adjuster, your public adjuster if you have one, or your carrier directly. We are not a public adjuster. Our job is to make sure the scope of work the carrier approves matches what your home actually needs. Most carriers in Florida have approved Tri-Town as a preferred or trusted contractor.

What if my insurance does not cover the full scope of work?

This happens. Common gaps include policy limits, depreciation holdbacks, deductibles, exclusions for flood damage on non-flood policies, or scope items the adjuster did not approve. We will lay out the gap clearly and give you options: appealing the carrier decision, filing supplemental claims, paying out of pocket for non-covered items, or scoping a phased restoration. The decision is yours. We will tell you straight what each option costs.

How long does storm damage restoration take in Southwest Florida?

Timelines vary by scope. Emergency stabilization happens within 24 hours. Roof replacements run 1 to 4 weeks. Flood damage restorations run 4 to 12 weeks depending on whether mold remediation is required. Full hurricane gut-and-rebuild projects run 6 to 14 months. Fire damage restorations run 4 to 10 months. Insurance approval timing adds 2 to 8 weeks up front. We deliver a full project schedule the day the scope is approved.
