Low-Slope Roofing in Fort Myers, FL | Roofing Contractor & Installation
Trusted Fort Myers Roofing installs low-slope roofs on commercial properties and homes all over Fort Myers, FL, from Cypress Lake and the Villas to the older streets near the River District. Flat-roof houses, lanai covers, porches, additions, we work on all of them, and we install EPDM, TPO, PVC and modified bitumen depending on what fits your home best.
The biggest problem we run into is ponding water, and we’ve opened up flat roofs where rain sat for days and rotted the plywood deck underneath. Before anything goes down, we scan the old roof with an infrared camera and rebuild the slope to at least 1/4 inch per foot with tapered polyiso so water heads straight for the scuppers. Every seam gets hot-air welded, edges are locked down with termination bars, and every membrane we use carries Florida Product Approval.
Most homes are done in 1 to 3 days, including tear-off, deck repairs and the new membrane. A 60-mil TPO roof, the most popular pick around here, usually runs about $3.50 to $7.00 per square foot installed, and we’ll give you a free written estimate first so there’s no guessing.
Our work comes with a 5-year written workmanship warranty, and the membrane has its own manufacturer warranty on top of that. We’ll go over both with you before we start, no fine-print surprises later.

Low-Slope Roofing Projects We've Completed in Fort Myers, FL
The homeowners had two worn-out low-slope roofs that were peeling at the edges, collecting leaves and holding standing water right against the big window wall, which started leaking into the room below during heavy rain. Once we tore everything off, the lower roof had soft, water-stained decking along that wall, so we replaced it and added tapered insulation to push water away from the windows and toward the drains. We finished both levels with heat-welded PVC, ran the membrane up the window wall with new PVC-coated metal flashing, and installed fresh pipe boots and edge metal for a clean, watertight finish.
Final Cost: $16,400
Turnaround Time: 4 days
The old roof over this home and patio had taken a beating from the big oak hanging over it, with fallen branches punching small holes in the membrane and wet leaves trapping moisture along the edge until water started dripping onto the patio ceiling. After tearing it off, we found rotted decking along the front fascia where the leaks had been sitting the longest, so we cut it out and replaced it with new plywood. We installed a heat-welded gray TPO membrane over fresh insulation board and wrapped the edge in new metal fascia, giving the homeowners a clean, tough roof that can handle whatever that tree drops next.
Final Cost: $9,200
Turnaround Time: 2 days
The homeowners loved the clean lines of their modern flat-roof house, but the old built-up roof was blistering, holding water near the skylight and leaking into the living room every time a summer storm rolled through. After tearing it off, we found wet insulation and soft decking around the skylight curb, so we replaced the damaged wood and rebuilt the slope with tapered polyiso to get water moving toward the edges. We finished with a fully adhered 60-mil EPDM membrane, new skylight curb flashing, sealed pipe boots and crisp metal edge trim that matches the home’s sleek look.
Final Cost: $11,800
Turnaround Time: 3 days

Low-Slope Roofing Frequently Asked Questions
Can I just put shingles on my low-slope roof?
Not if it’s too flat. Code says asphalt shingles can only go on slopes of 2:12 or steeper, and anything between 2:12 and 4:12 needs a double layer of underlayment. The NRCA goes further and recommends shingles only on 3:12 and up, which is why most low-slope roofs get a membrane instead.
How much slope does a flat roof actually need?
At least 1/4 inch per foot. That 2% slope is the minimum to keep water from ponding on the roof. We build it in with tapered insulation when the framing itself is too flat.
Are flat roofs safe in hurricanes?
Yes, if the edges are done right. Post-hurricane investigations have found that damage to low-slope roofs often begins when the edge pulls loose from the building. That’s why code requires low-slope edge metal to be tested to ANSI/SPRI ES-1, and Trusted Fort Myers Roofing only installs tested edge systems.
How long does a flat roof last?
According to the NRCA, the average low-slope roof in the U.S. lasts 13 to 14 years. A properly sloped, well-installed membrane that gets regular checkups can easily beat that number.
How often should my flat roof be inspected?
Twice a year. The NRCA recommends roof inspections at least twice per year, preferably in spring and fall, plus a check after any major storm.
Does a flat roof need gutters or drains in Fort Myers, FL?
Yes, one or the other. Code requires roof drains unless the roof is sloped to drain over its edges, so Trusted Fort Myers Roofing design every low-slope roof with scuppers, gutters or internal drains that match how the water naturally wants to flow.
