Restoration Services in Fort Myers, Florida

The Caloosahatchee River city hit hardest by Ian — Fort Myers restoration demands urgency, scale, and local expertise.

Fort Myers, the seat of Lee County, sits along the Caloosahatchee River just inland from the Gulf of Mexico. The city’s historic River District, the neighborhoods around Edison and Ford Winter Estates, and the sprawling residential areas south toward Daniels Parkway and Colonial Boulevard all face significant flood risks from both the river system and the region’s flat, low-lying terrain. With a population of approximately 95,000 in the city and over 750,000 in the greater metro area, Fort Myers serves as the commercial, medical, and governmental hub of Southwest Florida.

Hurricane Ian and the Caloosahatchee Corridor

Hurricane Ian in September 2022 pushed a catastrophic storm surge up the Caloosahatchee River, flooding downtown Fort Myers’ River District under several feet of water, destroying ground-floor businesses along Bay Street and First Street, and pushing water deep into residential neighborhoods. The McGregor Boulevard corridor saw significant surge flooding that deposited contaminated water across properties. The storm also caused devastating wind damage, stripping roofs and siding across the Dunbar neighborhood, the Gateway corridor near the airport, and residential areas along Palm Beach Boulevard. The scale of destruction was unprecedented : billions of dollars in damage across the city alone.

Everyday Water Damage in Fort Myers Neighborhoods

Beyond hurricanes, Fort Myers neighborhoods face ongoing water damage risks. The River District’s renovated historic buildings have aging plumbing concealed behind decorative walls that can leak for weeks before detection. The Villas neighborhood features dense 1970s-era construction with flat roofs and polybutylene plumbing notorious for sudden failures. The Gateway and Daniels corridor has experienced rapid commercial development where new construction occasionally suffers installation defects allowing water intrusion through improperly sealed windows. Fort Myers Shores and the neighborhoods along Palm Beach Boulevard sit at low elevations near the river and flood during heavy summer thunderstorms.

Our Actual Work Record in Fort Myers

Every number below is a count of real jobs from our project system, not an estimate. Figures as of September 2026.

1,249 jobs in Fort Myers since 2014
646 emergency mitigation callouts
444 reconstruction projects
44 in the last 12 months

We have worked in Fort Myers since 2014. 36 percent of that work has been condominium or association property, which is the split that decides how a loss gets handled here: who owns the drywall, who carries the deductible, and whether the board or the unit owner signs the authorization. At that share it comes up constantly in Fort Myers, so we document unit damage separately from common-element damage on the first visit rather than sorting it out after demolition.

We have also completed 95 mold remediation projects in Fort Myers. Crews work out of our Fort Myers office (6835 International Center Blvd, Fort Myers), and we hold the licensing to both dry the building and rebuild it in Lee County.

Common Questions

Restoration FAQs for Fort Myers

Answers for Fort Myers specifically - response, licensing, permits and how a claim here is handled.

Fast response guidance Insurance-aware answers Local service expectations

Our dispatch line is answered by a person 24 hours a day, and crews serving Fort Myers work out of our Fort Myers office at 6835 International Center Blvd, Fort Myers. We have handled 1,249 jobs in Fort Myers since 2014, 44 of them in the last year. We give you an arrival window on the call rather than a slogan, because the honest answer depends on the hour and on whether a storm has just put the whole county in line at once.

Yes, and it is a large part of what we do here: 36 percent of our Fort Myers work, 454 projects, has been condominium or association property. That matters because a condo loss splits into unit damage and common-element damage, and the two are usually paid by different policies. We document them separately from the first visit and work directly with the board, the manager and the adjuster so the association is not left reconciling one invoice against two claims.

Yes. WrightWay is a licensed Florida building contractor as well as a restoration firm, so the same company that removes wet drywall in Fort Myers also holds the permit to put the room back. We have completed 444 reconstruction projects in Fort Myers. In practice this removes the gap most owners hit: the mitigation company leaves, the general contractor bids weeks later, and the claim stalls in between.

We do. Reconstruction in Fort Myers is permitted through the building department covering Lee County, and the permit is pulled under our contractor license, not subcontracted to whoever is available. Ask any restoration company for their license number before they touch structure: a mitigation-only firm cannot legally rebuild what it tears out, and finding that out after demolition is the expensive way to learn it.

Yes, 95 mold projects in Fort Myers to date. Florida licenses mold remediation separately from general restoration, and the state also bars the same company from writing the clearance test it grades itself against, which is why an independent assessor is involved on larger jobs. If you are seeing growth after a leak in Fort Myers, the cause is almost always a moisture source that is still active, and treating the surface without finding it just buys a few weeks.

Yes. We document to the standard adjusters expect, estimate in Xactimate, and bill the carrier directly, so in most Fort Myers claims you pay your deductible and nothing else. We are not a public adjuster and we do not take assignment of your benefits, so you keep control of the claim and can see every line we submit.

Stop the source if you can reach the shutoff safely, kill power to the affected area at the breaker if water is near outlets, and photograph everything before anything is moved. Then call us. Do not wait for your carrier to authorize work: every Florida policy requires you to prevent further damage, and in Fort Myers heat and humidity a wet wall cavity can start growing inside about 24 to 48 hours. Delay is the single most expensive decision available to you.

We have three offices, in Nokomis, Longboat Key and Fort Myers, and Fort Myers is worked from our Fort Myers office. The crews, trucks and drying equipment are ours and the project manager on your job is a WrightWay employee. We have handled 1,249 jobs in Fort Myers since 2014, 44 of them in the last year. Anyone can build a page for a city; the fair question to ask a restoration company is what they have finished there, and we would rather publish the count than a claim.
