What iFIXED does in Dunnellon
Most Dunnellon calls are repair lists on homes that have been modified once or twice, so we start by finding out what is original, what was added, and what is underneath.
Regulated work, such as electrical, plumbing, mechanical, or structural changes, needs the appropriate responsible contractor and its own permit. We identify those items before pricing. Plumbing-only jobs, ceiling fan installs, and furniture assembly are outside what we do.

Local conditions
Building in Dunnellon: what changes here
Who issues the permit. Dunnellon is an incorporated city with its own Community Development Department on River Drive, applications handled online. Surrounding areas such as Rainbow Springs and Rainbow Lakes Estates are unincorporated and permit through Marion County Building Safety instead.
Two rivers meet here, and the floodplain follows them. The Rainbow River runs from Rainbow Springs through Dunnellon and joins the Withlacoochee. FEMA mapping along both corridors includes Zone AE with regulatory floodway, plus wide 0.2%-annual-chance areas. This is riverine flooding, not surge — but a floodway designation is the most restrictive thing on a flood map, and it materially limits what can be built or expanded.
The city expects the question. Dunnellon’s own permit packet includes a FEMA substantial improvement and damage form for work inside a flood zone. If your project is near either river, that form is part of the job, and the improvement threshold should be established before the scope is finalized rather than after.
An older river town. The 1980s are the single largest building decade, but there is a real pre-war remnant and a high manufactured-housing share. Work skews toward flooring and finishes, handyman repairs and punch lists, and renovations on homes that have already been modified once or twice.

How a project starts
- Send photos and the address. One wide photo of each room or area, plus close-ups of damage or anything you want changed.
- We check the property first. Jurisdiction, flood zone, and permit needs are confirmed by address before anything is priced.
- Keep, remove, or repair. We separate what stays from what changes, and your selections from materials we source.
- A written, itemized scope. Priced by room and trade, with anything that depends on opening walls or floors listed separately.
- The work and a walkthrough. Each phase ends with a walkthrough before the next one starts.
