Pine Island is the largest island in Lee County, stretching seventeen miles north to south between Cape Coral and the outer barrier islands of Sanibel and Captiva. The island includes Matlacha, St. James City, Pineland, and Bokeelia, plus dozens of small canal communities accessible by Pine Island Road. The housing stock skews older - lots of 1970s-1990s ranches and fiberglass shells - and Hurricane Ian damage in September 2022 was severe across the island, especially in Matlacha and St. James City. Pool resurfacing work here is dominated by storm recovery and aging-shell refresh jobs.
We install every common pool finish and handle every common pool repair across Pine Island communities:
Pine Island took a direct hit from Hurricane Ian in 2022, and Matlacha in particular was nearly destroyed by storm surge and wind. The pool population that survived took heavy structural damage - cracked shells, displaced coping, broken tile, salt intrusion into the gunite, and rebar exposure at every break point. Three years into the recovery, we are still seeing hidden damage surface as adjacent finish work fails. Any Pine Island pool that took even moderate storm damage should be inspected for hairline cracks before the next interior finish goes on.
Pine Island also has a high concentration of older fiberglass shells from the late 1980s and 1990s when fiberglass pools were popular in the island market. Those shells are now well past their first useful gelcoat life and resurfacing them with a pool-rated epoxy or fresh gelcoat is a far cheaper alternative to replacement. Resurface runs $4,000-$8,000 versus $30,000+ for a full fiberglass swap, which matters on an island where construction logistics are challenging.
The full island, including: Matlacha, St. James City, Pineland, Bokeelia, Pine Island Center, Flamingo Bay, Pine Island Cove, Tarpon Point Marina, plus all canal-front communities off Pine Island Road, Stringfellow Road, Main Street Matlacha, and the waterfront streets of Bokeelia and St. James City.
