Luxury custom homes · Naples & Southwest Florida
Custom homes, renovations and light commercial work from Marco Island to Captiva, and in North Carolina. Aidan Weir is personally involved in every one.
Bay HouseCustom home
Aidan Weir started working for a general contractor in Philadelphia at thirteen and came out of it a finish carpenter. In 1979 he opened his own firm on the Main Line, known for renovations and additions you could not tell from the original house. In 1998 he moved to Naples, built a spec home in Aqualane Shores and went on to build homes from Sanibel and Captiva down to Marco Island.
In 2013 he co-founded Calusa Construction with John Kennedy. The idea has not changed since: work with your architect and designer from the start, keep a superintendent on site who cares about the details you will never see, tell you everything as it happens, and still answer the phone after you move in.
Six houses up close, then every project in the book. Photographs from Calusa's own portfolio.
01
Two wings of stone and glass opening onto a long infinity pool and the water beyond. Inside, a glass wine room, a car gallery and a terrace on every level.
02
Board and batten, stacked stone and a standing seam roof under the palms, with paneled walls, a floating oak stair and a lit pool court behind.

A coastal house built around a two storey paneled stair hall, with coffered ceilings, a vaulted primary suite and a pool that runs the length of the garden.

On the sand, facing the Gulf: a raised pool, a covered terrace with a fireplace, and nothing between the bedroom and the horizon.
05
A raised island house in white and blue: shiplap ceilings, X-rail stairs and bridges, a long kitchen and a pool laid out like a garden room.
06
A renovation that reads as new: a backlit stone island, a pool terrace with fire bowls on the lake, and finish work that looks intentional, never patched.
Before a house is handed over it is walked room by room, and anything that is not exact gets a piece of blue tape. One client put it this way: Not a back of a door, under a counter, hinge of a shutter, or alignment of a panel was acceptable unless it was exact.
Pull the tape to sign each item off.

Calusa's promise, in their words: "We aim to exceed your every expectation and will be there to assist you should any warranty issues arise."
Value, both seen and unseen. Custom millwork you will notice on day one, fully insulated interior walls you never will, and a superintendent who checks both.
Every extraordinary home begins with your vision. Calusa works with you, your architect and your interior designer to turn it into a home that performs as well as it looks.
A renovation deserves the same craftsmanship as new construction, often with tighter constraints. For owners who are out of town during construction, every decision is documented and shared.
Unique light commercial projects where quality control and professional coordination matter, with the same superintendent-led oversight as the custom homes.
Strong builds start before the first shovel. Bringing Calusa in early aligns scope with cost and catches constructability issues while changes are still inexpensive.
Many Calusa clients live somewhere else while their house goes up. This is what they wrote afterwards.
"When we raised concerns about wind, water and weather resistance, the reply was: We are going to build you a submarine."
"We received regular updates from the start, which increased in frequency during the 16 month construction period and became almost daily towards the final few months. Emails, phone calls, pictures, even videos were sent to demonstrate progress."
"Tore down my 1948 cottage in Old Naples and constructed a marvelous new two story cottage and pool. We did this long distance, and yet it was seamless. We have built six houses, and this was the best experience."
"It is easy to get complacent during a 24 month project but he was steadfast in their desire to build a quality project. Despite being a few years old our house looks as good now as it did the day we moved in."
"That, coupled with the open book cost plus model made the entire experience second to none. This is my second project with Calusa Construction."
"I have worked with Calusa for more than a decade on numerous new construction and remodel projects. What sets them apart is their attention and care about the myriad of details that it takes to complete a custom home."
"They started the job when they said and actually finished the job when promised."
An experienced project manager and superintendent lead each project, with Aidan personally involved.
