When Hurricane Ian pushed across Fort Myers Beach in September 2022, the storm surge did what it did to nearly every building on the island: the structure held, the interiors did not. Units were stripped to the studs. The building passed its structural engineer’s inspection, the association pushed through permitting and assessments, and the long work of remodeling Fort Myers Beach — building by building, unit by unit — reached Eden House. That is where we come in. We are rebuilding 12 units at Eden House right now — nearly a third of the entire building, taken back to bare concrete and reconstructed from the ground up — and these are not cosmetic refreshes. Each unit is a whole-home renovation: new flooring throughout, new drywall, updated plumbing and electrical, new kitchens, new bathrooms, new paint, doors, and trim. Everything inside the four walls, rebuilt to current code by one licensed contractor with 20 years of Southwest Florida property management behind it and 500+ completed remodels. Remodeling on Fort Myers Beach is its own discipline. Island logistics mean every cabinet, slab, and sheet of drywall crosses the Matanzas Pass bridge on a schedule. Flood-zone code shapes what materials go where. Association coordination governs elevators, parking, work hours, and insurance certificates. And the FEMA 50% rule means scope and valuation have to be documented correctly before permits move. We built our process around those realities — which is why 12 owners in one building trusted us with theirs. ![Eden House REno By Cutting Edge (9)](https://remodelbycuttingedge.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Eden-House-REno-By-Cutting-Edge-9.webp)![Cutting Edge](https://remodelbycuttingedge.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Logo.png)Remodel by Cutting Edge ![Eden House REno By Cutting Edge (16) Remodel by Cutting Edge](https://remodelbycuttingedge.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Eden-House-REno-By-Cutting-Edge-16.webp)![Cutting Edge](https://remodelbycuttingedge.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Logo.png)Remodel by Cutting Edge Whole-Home Renovation Scope ## Everything in the Unit. KitchensEvery kitchen comes back from nothing — new cabinetry from our 4,000 SF warehouse, stone counters templated in place, appliances, lighting, and tile. Gutted shells become the heart of the home again, built to handle salt air and full-time living.![Eden House REno By Cutting Edge (27)](https://remodelbycuttingedge.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Eden-House-REno-By-Cutting-Edge-27.webp) BathroomsMaster and guest baths rebuilt as complete wet rooms — tiled walk-in showers, new vanities, comfort-height toilets, and modern fixtures. Full waterproofing systems go in behind every wall before a single tile is set.![Eden House REno By Cutting Edge (26)](https://remodelbycuttingedge.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Eden-House-REno-By-Cutting-Edge-26.webp) FlooringNew luxury vinyl plank and tile installed through every room in the unit — moisture-rated for Gulf-front living, laid level and tight over prepped slabs, with clean transitions at every doorway.![Eden House REno By Cutting Edge (13)](https://remodelbycuttingedge.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Eden-House-REno-By-Cutting-Edge-13.webp) DrywallHung from bare studs and metal framing across all 12 units, taped, finished level, and sanded paint-ready.

Gulf-Front Forever.The Rebuild Is the Investment. 1980Year Built 35Residences 1,086–1,967SF Floor Plans 7-DayMin Rental Rule Eden House was delivered in 1980 — six stories, thirty-five residences, beach-side pool and spa, on the quiet south end of Estero Island near Santini Plaza and Fish Tail Marina. It carries one of the rarest income features on the beach: a 7-day minimum rental rule, when most of the south end requires 30. Before Ian, units traded from $534,000 in early 2021 to $700,000 at the 2022 peak — a building already appreciating fast. Post-Ian, the math makes the case for the rebuild in plain numbers. An unfinished sixth-floor Gulf-view unit recently listed at $599,900 needing roughly $56,000 of work to complete — while finished, renovated Eden House residences list at $799,000 and up. That gap between shell condition and finished condition is not the beach, the view, or the building; those are identical. It is the interior — which means every dollar of a properly executed rebuild here has been returning well more than a dollar of value, before counting a season of 7-day rental income the unit cannot earn while it sits unfinished. Construction In Progress ## Rebuilding a Third of the Building — From the Ground Up. Twelve gutted units — nearly a third of Eden House — being reconstructed as complete homes at the same time. Live from inside the rebuild: plumbing rough-ins, drop ceilings, flooring, tiling, electrical, cabinetry, and drywall, photographed as the work happens. ![Eden House REno By Cutting Edge (14)](https://remodelbycuttingedge.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Eden-House-REno-By-Cutting-Edge-14.webp)![Cutting Edge](https://remodelbycuttingedge.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Logo.png)Remodel by Cutting Edge![Eden House REno By Cutting Edge (3)](https://remodelbycuttingedge.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Eden-House-REno-By-Cutting-Edge-3.webp)![Cutting Edge](https://remodelbycuttingedge.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Logo.png)Remodel by Cutting Edge![Eden House REno By Cutting Edge (5)](https://remodelbycuttingedge.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Eden-House-REno-By-Cutting-Edge-5.webp)![Cutting Edge](https://remodelbycuttingedge.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Logo.png)Remodel by Cutting Edge![Eden House REno By Cutting Edge (7)](https://remodelbycuttingedge.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Eden-House-REno-By-Cutting-Edge-7.webp)![Cutting Edge](https://remodelbycuttingedge.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Logo.png)Remodel by Cutting Edge![Eden House REno By Cutting Edge (17)](https://remodelbycuttingedge.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Eden-House-REno-By-Cutting-Edge-17.webp)![Cutting Edge](https://remodelbycuttingedge.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Logo.png)Remodel by Cutting Edge![Eden House REno By Cutting Edge (22)](https://remodelbycuttingedge.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Eden-House-REno-By-Cutting-Edge-22.webp)![Cutting Edge](https://remodelbycuttingedge.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Logo.png)Remodel by Cutting Edge![Eden House REno By Cutting Edge (8)](https://remodelbycuttingedge.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Eden-House-REno-By-Cutting-Edge-8.webp)![Cutting Edge](https://remodelbycuttingedge.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Logo.png)Remodel by Cutting Edge![Eden House REno By Cutting Edge (10)](https://remodelbycuttingedge.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Eden-House-REno-By-Cutting-Edge-10-scaled.webp)![Cutting Edge](https://remodelbycuttingedge.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Logo.png)Remodel by Cutting Edge![Eden House REno By Cutting Edge (19)](https://remodelbycuttingedge.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Eden-House-REno-By-Cutting-Edge-19.webp)![Cutting Edge](https://remodelbycuttingedge.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Logo.png)Remodel by Cutting Edge![Eden House REno By Cutting Edge (21)](https://remodelbycuttingedge.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Eden-House-REno-By-Cutting-Edge-21.webp)![Cutting Edge](https://remodelbycuttingedge.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Logo.png)Remodel by Cutting Edge![Eden House REno By Cutting Edge (28)](https://remodelbycuttingedge.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Eden-House-REno-By-Cutting-Edge-28.webp)![Cutting Edge](https://remodelbycuttingedge.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Logo.png)Remodel by Cutting Edge![Eden House REno By Cutting Edge (18)](https://remodelbycuttingedge.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Eden-House-REno-By-Cutting-Edge-18.webp)![Cutting Edge](https://remodelbycuttingedge.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Logo.png)Remodel by Cutting Edge![Eden House REno By Cutting Edge (24)](https://remodelbycuttingedge.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Eden-House-REno-By-Cutting-Edge-24.webp)![Cutting Edge](https://remodelbycuttingedge.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Logo.png)Remodel by Cutting Edge![Eden House REno By Cutting Edge (25)](https://remodelbycuttingedge.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Eden-House-REno-By-Cutting-Edge-25.webp)![Cutting Edge](https://remodelbycuttingedge.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Logo.png)Remodel by Cutting Edge![Eden House REno By Cutting Edge (20)](https://remodelbycuttingedge.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Eden-House-REno-By-Cutting-Edge-20.webp)![Cutting Edge](https://remodelbycuttingedge.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Logo.png)Remodel by Cutting Edge![Eden House REno By Cutting Edge (23)](https://remodelbycuttingedge.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Eden-House-REno-By-Cutting-Edge-23.webp)![Cutting Edge](https://remodelbycuttingedge.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Logo.png)Remodel by Cutting Edge Condo Remodeling on Fort Myers Beach ## What Island RemodelingActually Takes. **Association coordination.** Condo remodeling on Fort Myers Beach runs through the association: board approval packages, certificates of insurance, elevator reservations, protected common areas, and agreed work hours. At Eden House we coordinate 12 units’ worth of trades, deliveries, and debris through one point of contact — so the building keeps functioning while it rebuilds. **Flood-zone and post-Ian code.** Rebuilding after a storm is not restoring what was there — it is bringing units to today’s code. Material choices near the flood line, updated electrical, and properly documented scope under the FEMA 50% substantial-improvement rule all shape the plan before the first trade walks in. **Island logistics.** Everything arrives over the bridge. We stage materials off-island, sequence deliveries to the association’s schedule, and warehouse cabinetry and fixtures ourselves so a back-ordered part never idles a whole unit. It is the difference between a remodel measured in weeks and one that drags across seasons. Whether you own at Eden House, elsewhere on Estero Boulevard, or anywhere on the island — if your unit is ready to come back, this is the team already doing it, on your beach, right now.

Thank you!”Eden House Owner · Fort Myers Beach Fort Myers Beach Remodeling FAQ ## Common Questions. What does a whole-unit condo remodel include?At Eden House, everything inside the unit: flooring, drywall, plumbing, electrical, kitchen, bathrooms, paint, doors, and trim. One contract and one schedule covers every trade — no juggling separate contractors on an island. How long does a full condo unit remodel take on Fort Myers Beach?A whole-home unit renovation typically runs 8–16 weeks once permits and association approvals are in hand. Multi-unit projects like Eden House are sequenced so trades flow unit to unit without idle weeks. Do you handle the condo association paperwork?Yes — board approval packages, insurance certificates, elevator and parking coordination, and work-hour compliance are all part of the job. We are already doing it at Eden House at 12-unit scale. What is the FEMA 50% rule and does it affect my remodel?In flood zones, if improvements exceed 50% of a structure’s market value, the building must be brought to current flood code. Scope and valuation documentation matter — we prepare both correctly so permits move and surprises do not happen mid-project. Can you remodel my unit if the building is still finishing common-area repairs?Usually yes — interior unit work proceeds in parallel with building envelope and common-area work in most associations, coordinated through the board and building engineer. That is exactly the situation at Eden House. Do you remodel other buildings on Fort Myers Beach?Yes — kitchens, bathrooms, and whole-unit renovations across the island and throughout Southwest Florida, with fixed pricing and free LiDAR scans and 3D renders before you commit.
