Mobilization

How It Works

Our team is based in Naples, so Southwest Florida projects are scheduled directly from our home office without travel mobilization.

  1. 01

    Request an assessment

    Submit the assessment form or call 239-944-0527 with the property address, the damaged areas, and photos if you have them.

  2. 02

    Review and site visit

    We review the damage with you by phone, then schedule an on-site visit. Timing depends on access to the area and the volume of requests after a storm, and is confirmed after the initial consultation.

  3. 03

    Written scope and permits

    You receive a written, itemized scope. We pull the repair permits from the local building department that has jurisdiction over the property.

  4. 04

    Crew mobilization and rebuild

    Our crew and licensed trade partners mobilize to the property for roof, drywall, insulation, flooring, kitchen, bath and whole-interior reconstruction through final inspection.

Titan Builder and Renovation LLC holds state-certified Florida licenses — CGC1541818 (General), CCC1337764 (Roofing) and CRC1336002 (Residential) — which are valid in every Florida county.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who issues repair permits on Sanibel?+

The City of Sanibel Building Department. We pull the permits and schedule inspections.

Do Sanibel's elevation rules affect repairs?+

They can. If the city determines a structure is substantially damaged, it must meet current flood elevation rules. We scope the work with that in mind.

Can you rebuild condo units on Sanibel?+

Yes. We coordinate with the association on access and work hours.

Do you also work on Captiva?+

Yes. Captiva is unincorporated Lee County, so permits go through Lee County Department of Community Development.
