A note from the owner
Having formerly worked for 2 very successful paver companies in SWFL, the journey began around 2016 in a very small showroom located in Fort Myers, FL where I committed to learning about the business.
​​​
Needless to say, it took a lot of time, attention, effort and patience from all parties in order to make this work.
​
We eventually moved into a 5,000 sq ft showroom, where I was blessed to be a part of each and every detail of its construction.

From helping decide on the best paver color for my soon-to- be front "desk", to watching the installers bring those ideas to life, one thing is for certain: I LEARNED.




I gained knowledge on all aspects of the field, making it possible for the owners to eventually be able to travel overseas with the confidence that their showroom, customers and employees were in good hands.
Shortly after, I expanded my horizons and began to focus on permits & inspections, where I gained extensive insight on stormwater/building code standards pertaining to paver block projects.
​​Fast forward a few career changes later, and there I was... AGAIN... in the midst of paver block samples and permit applications. This time, however, I was working with a company based out of Naples FL, where I learned even more about the very "fun" processes of permitting throughout the various jurisdictions within both Lee & Collier counties...
​
​
Throughout my years of experience, I was blessed to have had the opportunity to be personally guided and mentored by some of the most knowledgeable locally known professionals in SWFL. I am forever grateful for those people, as they helped turn this "fun" job into a fun-for-me job!
​
For some time now, the storms Florida endures have made the permit process THAT much more difficult for EVERYONE! However, I find that with the right amount of patience, anything is possible. After discovering most permit runner companies are generalized rather than field focused, I knew just where my help was needed!
​
So, when asked why you should choose SWFL Paver Permits, the answer is quite simple: Because we speak your language!
