When Hurricane Ian tore through Captiva Island in 2022, the storm surge and high winds left behind more than wrecked buildings; it left an entire community displaced, waiting, and hoping. For the residents of Captiva Shores, that wait stretched for nearly two years. Progress felt like a distant dream. That changed when Benchmark General Contractors stepped in.
Today, the multi-million dollar restoration of six duplexes, two quads, and one house on Captiva Shores is 90% complete. The sight of fresh siding, new interiors, and sturdy roofs has turned the property into a visible symbol of post-hurricane recovery. But behind the concrete and wood lies a story of trust rebuilt, led by a predominantly female management team.
