A home addition expands usable living space without leaving the Fort Myers home and neighborhood you already value. Alliance Construction & Renovation designs, engineers, permits, and builds additions under license CBC1268590, using one team from feasibility and 3D planning through Lee County inspections. Common projects include bedrooms, in-law suites, garage conversions, lanai conversions, and second-story additions.


Additions are permitted, inspected construction; not oversized handyman jobs. Here's the honest sequence:
Florida Building Code wind requirements apply to everything we add: openings get impact-rated or shuttered protection, and roof tie-ins are strapped to code. It's one more reason additions belong with a licensed contractor. And when an addition runs alongside interior updates, both fold into a single whole-home plan with one schedule.
Yes, always. Any addition of conditioned square footage requires a Lee County building permit, engineered plans, and inspections. We handle all of it as part of the project.
Usually not. We coordinate the design drawings and structural engineering within the project, and we'll tell you up front if your specific addition needs more.
It depends on scope. Design and permitting typically run several weeks before construction starts, and the build itself varies with size and complexity. The estimate we hand you includes a schedule expectation for your project.
That's the goal, and it's mostly decided in design: matching roof pitch, stucco texture, window styles, and floor heights. It's the difference between an addition and something that looks bolted on.
Yes: lanai conversions are permitted structural work involving the wall, glazing, and HVAC changes. If you want to keep it as outdoor space instead, our outdoor living team handles that side.
It depends on scope, but an addition avoids realtor fees, moving costs, and losing a low mortgage rate. We'll put a defined scope and number on the table so you can make that comparison honestly.
