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

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.
