At Sposen Homes, we understand how to build for Florida’s environment. Our homes are designed with advanced materials and proven building science to protect your home from moisture, humidity, and water intrusion — from the foundation to the roof.  Continue reading ..

Pocketing Glass Sliders: Bringing the Outdoors In

Few features capture the Southwest Florida lifestyle quite like pocketing glass slider doors. These expansive glass doors open wide to create an uninterrupted flow between your indoor living area and your lanai, letting you fully embrace Florida’s year-round sunshine. 

Unlike traditional sliding doors—where one panel simply slides in front of another—pocketing sliders tuck neatly into a niche in the exterior wall, disappearing from indoor view when opened. This creates a smooth, open transition and a true indoor-outdoor connection that defines modern coastal living.

Clearing Land in Cape Coral: What You Need to Know About Trees, Shrubs, and Permits

Starting with a Clean (or Green) Slate 

Buying a lot in Cape Coral is exciting, but before you can break out the blueprints for your dream home, you’ve got to deal with what’s already growing there. A patch of pines or palms might be a future shady retreat, or it might be an invasive troublemaker that has to go. The trick is knowing which trees to keep, which to clear, and which ones the city won’t even let you touch. A little knowledge now can save you from big headaches later.

Perc Testing and Home Elevation in Southwest Florida: What You Need to Know

When you think about building a new home in Southwest Florida, elevation is usually top of mind. After all, flood zones and storm risk play a huge role in how and where homes are built. But if your lot isn’t connected to city utilities and requires a septic system instead, there’s another piece of the puzzle many people overlook until late in the process: the percolation, or “perc,” test. 

A perc test doesn’t directly set the required elevation for your home, but it does play a key role in septic-dependent areas. The space and drainage needs of your septic design can influence the elevation, cost, and construction approach for your home.
