Xactimate® Estimating in Fort Myers, Florida

Southwest Florida after Ian is the clearest case in the state for full-scope estimating: many properties had a surge claim, a wind claim, a mold claim and a supplement, and the carriers that closed claims 'below deductible' did so on desk estimates that never counted the whole house.

Price list: FLFM

Every line item priced on the current FLFM regional list, so the numbers match what the carrier's adjuster sees.

What we see in Fort Myers

  • Catastrophic hurricane wind
  • Storm surge
  • Total-loss structures
  • Mold after prolonged wetting

Local rule that changes the estimate

Lee County's substantial-improvement (50%) rule means a repair estimate can trigger a requirement to elevate or rebuild to current flood code — a line-item and coverage question that has to be flagged in the estimate, not discovered at permitting.

Recent storm history

Hurricane Ian (September 2022) made landfall at Cayo Costa as a Category 4 and put Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel and Cape Coral under record surge; Milton (2024) added a second round of wind claims to properties still in repair.

Every Florida deadline runs from the date of loss: 1 year to report, 18 months to supplement. Check yours with the deadline calculator, and watch the region live on the storm map.
