Quality Design

Remodeling a home is a long-term investment - one that will enhance a client’s lifestyle and the value of their property. Therefore, choosing a quality contractor is an important decision.

Founded in 1989, Progressive Builders, Inc. is a full-service Design/Build/remodeling company located in Fort Myers, Florida. Over the years, Progressive Builders, Inc. has refined the design/build process to ensure the highest level of client satisfaction. The process includes a team of professionals that are committed to high standards. Creating beautiful spaces from concept to completion is their specialty.

The professional design team includes highly trained superintendents, a project coordinator, project manager, an interior designer, and office personnel. The team works together, under one roof, to meet the needs of the client. The client deals with one source, making possible the “One Company, One Answer” concept.

Typical jobs include room additions, functional and stylish kitchen renovations, resort-style master suite remodels, whole house makeovers, and outdoors entertainment spaces.

The design process begins with a scheduled appointment with our in-house professional designer. At this meeting, the designer will discuss the client's needs and wants, while evaluating the existing space. The goal is to integrate the renovation seamlessly with the existing home.
The designer will conduct an in-depth interview with the client. The questions will reveal the intended use of the space, the client’s favorite color and many other important details that will be invaluable during the design stage. This in-depth interview will give the interior designer an idea of who the client is, in order to help decide what the client wants.

Visual references are key in the design process. When a client pulls a photo from a magazine or the internet of a table, lamp, paint color, or stucco finish that they would like to see in their home, a designer can better understand the clients likes and dislikes. These visuals help the designer see what the client sees.

Once all the information and visuals have been discussed, the interior designer presents the client with a concept. The concept is a sketch, free-hand drawing, elevation by scale, or a rendering. Clients can visualize what their project will look like when the job is complete. Progressive Builders utilizes this design step to ensure every client gets exactly what they want.

The professional designers and personal shoppers of Progressive Builders will assist the client with material selection and design elements, giving the client multiple options that will work best in their space.

“Our team is a concierge service. We try to give our clients everything they need to make the decisions easier,” says Interior Designer Laura Fernandez, of Progressive Builders, Inc.

Architecturally-minded, the job of the interior designer is to advise the client on what will work best and what will enhance the overall look of the project. Advice is given based on an analysis of the project; the type of home (Mediterranean, Old English), the architectural elements belonging to that style and era; scale, budget, and weather are also factors (Florida’s weather conditions are important when working on an exterior project.)

“Exceptional design is achieved when the inspiration of a family’s unique lifestyle and personal taste are blended in a masterful balance of light, color, texture, and form that transform an empty space into a dynamic environment with a distinctly personal style,” says Fernandez. "Our mission is to provide the very best remodeling experience possible. The creation of value and a lifelong client will be the by-product of our dedication to excellence."
