About Punta Gorda

Punta Gorda is the Charlotte County seat, north of Cape Coral at the mouth of the Peace River. Hurricane Ian made its second Florida landfall near Punta Gorda in 2022, after crossing Cayo Costa, according to the National Hurricane Center. The city's canal neighborhoods look a lot like Cape Coral's, and the housing is similar too: 38% built in the 1980s and 1990s and 44% in 2000 or later (Census ACS).

Questions

Do you cover all of Punta Gorda?

Yes, including ZIPs 33950, 33980, 33982, 33983. The company that calls you back will confirm your address is in their service area.

How fast can someone come out?

It depends on the day and the season, and right after a storm it can take longer. Say in your request if the house has no cooling and someone at home is elderly or unwell, and ask the company what they can do.

Do I get a price first?

Yes. The technician diagnoses the problem and gives you a price before starting any repair. Ask what the diagnostic or trip fee is when you book.
