Kitchen cabinets in Lehigh Acres, from a neighbor

Lehigh Acres is a large, unincorporated community in Lee County laid out as a wide grid of lots, and it spreads across the ZIP codes 33936, 33971, 33972, 33973, 33974 and 33976. Mariano Contrera has lived in Lehigh Acres for several years, after two decades working in Miami, and this is where Contrera Cabinets is based.

Much of the housing here grew during the building boom of the 2000s. That means a lot of single-story block homes with builder-grade kitchens that are now about twenty years old, and a lot of homeowners deciding whether to rework them.

Whether you are on Lee Boulevard, near Homestead Road or tucked away on one of the quieter streets, we can come to you, measure the kitchen and talk through your cabinets.

What matters for cabinet work in Lehigh Acres

Local conditions shape what lasts and what does not.

Humidity and the wet season

Rainy-season humidity and long cooling seasons are hard on particleboard. We recommend plywood boxes and sealed edges where moisture is likely, especially at sinks and dishwashers.

Block construction

Many Lehigh Acres homes are concrete block. Walls may be furred out or covered with drywall, which affects how heavy upper cabinets and TV mounts are fastened.

Lee County permits

Because Lehigh Acres is unincorporated, permit questions for bigger remodels go through Lee County, and we flag them before work starts.

After Hurricane Ian

The storm in September 2022 left many homes in Lee County with water or wind damage. If your kitchen or bathroom cabinets were affected, we can look at what can be saved.

Questions from Lehigh Acres homeowners

Do you work in all of Lehigh Acres, including the 33971, 33972, 33973, 33974 and 33976 ZIP codes?

Lehigh Acres is our home base, so yes, that is where we are most often at work. Tell us the street when you call and we will schedule a time to come see the job. The grid of streets is large, and knowing the exact location helps us plan the day.

Who handles permits for a remodel in Lehigh Acres?

Lehigh Acres is an unincorporated community in Lee County, so building permits are handled through the county rather than a city building department. A cabinet replacement in the same footprint is usually a different question from moving plumbing or changing walls, and we will tell you which one applies to your project.

Are cabinets from the 2000s worth saving?

Sometimes. If the boxes are sound and the layout works, new doors, drawer fronts and hardware can transform a kitchen. If the sink base is swollen, the shelves bow and the layout is a problem, replacement gives you more for your money. We will tell you which side your kitchen falls on.

Can you come out for a quote on a small job?

Yes. We take small jobs as well as full kitchens. Describe what you need on the phone and we will tell you honestly whether a visit is the next step.
