What this site is

How it works

Southwest Florida Gated Communities brings community information together in one place — guides to gated and established neighborhoods across Lee and Collier counties, with the storm, cost, and contact details residents actually use, sourced from county records and kept current.

Verified listings

What Verified means

One line separates the two halves of this business. Everything on the left is a Verified listing; none of the editorial judgment on the right is for sale.

Verification

How contractors make the list

Every contractor is checked before they appear — license, entity status, and our published criteria, reviewed when they join and every 12 months.

01
License
We verify the Florida license, or local registration where the trade isn’t state-licensed.
02
Entity status
We confirm the business is active with the state before a name appears.
03
Published criteria
The license number is printed on the listing so you can run the same check yourself.

Exclusivity

Why one contractor per category

Nobody enjoys sorting through forty listings. We keep it simple: one checked contractor per category, per community — checked, exclusive, and clearly labeled. And if a category doesn’t have anyone yet, we say so.

Open

Roofing · Herons Glen

This is what an unsold category looks like on a community guide. No contractor holds it, so we say so — we never imply a match exists when it doesn’t.

Corrections

Every community page has a “report a correction” link. Facts carry the date we checked them. When we’re wrong, we fix it and log it.
