At Banyan Living, we know remodeling your home is a big decision. Below are answers to the questions we hear most often from homeowners in Lee County.
Most kitchen remodels take 5–10 weeks, while bathrooms are often 3–6 weeks, depending on size, scope, and permitting. We’ll give you a clear project timeline up front and keep you updated every step of the way.
Our process is simple and transparent:
Consultation & Vision – We meet to discuss your goals, style, and budget.

Permits & Prep – We handle all permitting, inspections, and prep work.
Build – Our licensed team manages every detail, coordinating trusted subcontractors.
Completion & Walkthrough – We review the project together to ensure every detail meets our standards — and yours.
Yes — most remodels in Lee County require permits. As a licensed Florida contractor, we take care of the paperwork, permitting, and inspections so you don’t have to worry about it.
