Leave Naples in spring. Come home to it finished.
Your condo or second home, designed with you while you are here for season and built while you are up north, by the team that won two 2026 Sand Dollar Awards.
When should you start a Naples condo renovation? Now.
Most Naples and Marco Island associations allow major construction only in the off-season, roughly May through October, on weekdays. In the City of Naples, every project in a multi-family building also needs an approval letter from the association before the permit. So the summer you want is decided in winter. Huffmans Construction Group designs with you while you are in town, so the build starts the day your window opens.

How do I renovate my Naples condo while I live up north?+

Why do Naples condo renovations happen in the summer?+
Because the summer is usually the only time a building allows it. Most Naples and Marco Island associations allow major construction only in the off-season, roughly May through October, on weekdays, which is when seasonal owners are away. Huffmans Construction Group confirms your building's window and work hours before scheduling.

When should I submit my board package for a summer renovation?+
Plan to submit in February through April. In the City of Naples, the HOA approval letter is part of the permit submittal, so board approval has to come before the permit and the permit before the summer start.

Yes. Huffmans Construction Group schedules the in-home walkthrough while you are in town and gives a fixed price from a line-item proposal, so the budget is settled before you fly north.

How much does it cost to renovate a second home in Naples?+
A whole-home refresh with finishes, kitchen and baths typically runs $250,000 to $400,000, a full interior gut $400,000 to $800,000, and structural work $800,000 to $1.5 million or more, according to 2026 Naples cost guides.
