Yes — we handle the entire permit process through your local building department (City of Cape Coral, Lee County, Collier County, etc.). We schedule the final inspection and provide you with the completed permit card.

A typical panel replacement or upgrade runs $1,500 to $3,000. The price depends on how difficult the job is, and on whether the new panel needs the more expensive GFCI, AFCI, or dual-function breakers. Where the home does not already have an outside disconnect, current code requires one, so we install that exterior service disconnect. The power company then disconnects the service at the service drop. When that happens, a grounding system that still uses only one ground rod usually has to be updated, and that new grounding system is part of what changes the price. Cape Coral often requires these changes. Fort Myers may not require the outside disconnect. Each city follows its own rules. An exact flat-rate price still needs a short visit to look at the service entrance, the meter base, and the panel location. The visit is free and takes about 20 minutes.
