Most houses here are concrete block with a truss roof, built from the 1970s through the 2000s along McGregor Boulevard, across the Cape Coral canal grid, in Lehigh Acres, and in the tile villages of Gateway and Estero. The tile or shingle you see from the driveway sheds rain. The underlayment beneath it keeps the house dry, and it wears out years before the tile does.
Hurricane Ian came ashore on September 28, 2022, and stripped or cracked roofing from Fort Myers Beach to Alva. The roofs that survived are now twenty to thirty years old, and insurers write letters about them. You can check any parcel's roof year and permit history at the Lee County Property Appraiser. The wet season that fills the Six Mile Cypress Slough Preserve from June through September tests every fastener and flashing in the county.
When you call, we put you through to one independent local roofing contractor who works your part of Lee County. That contractor schedules the visit, writes the scope, pulls the permit, and does the work. Any estimate, contract, or warranty is between you and them.
On the visit, the contractor walks every slope and checks the attic side of the deck before saying what the roof needs. Some bring a thermal camera to find wet decking that looks dry from above. You get photos and a written scope that names the underlayment, the material and its wind rating, and the permit office.
We serve Fort Myers and its neighborhoods along McGregor Boulevard and the river, Cape Coral, Lehigh Acres, North Fort Myers, Estero, Bonita Springs, Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel, Pine Island, and the communities in between from Iona to Gateway, Alva, and Buckingham. The nearby communities page names the permit desk for each one.
Florida requires a state-licensed roofing contractor for roof work. Contractors represent their own licensing and insurance, and you can look any license up at myfloridalicense.com in about a minute. Ask for a certificate of insurance, a written scope, and the permit number once the job is filed.
Call (239) 306-8745. Have the property address, a callback number, and a plain description of what the roof or the ceiling is doing. Say whether water is coming in right now and what kind of roof it is.
