Residential Roof Replacement in Fort Myers, FL | Roofing Contractor & Estimates

Trusted Fort Myers Roofing provides residential roof replacement in Fort Myers, FL, and nearby Southwest Florida communities, from established neighborhoods along McGregor Boulevard to homes in Cape Coral and Estero. Backed by over 20 years of experience and BBB accreditation, we replace ageing shingle, tile, and metal roofs to help homeowners prepare for heavy rain, strong winds, and Florida's year-round sun.

We start by removing the old roof covering and using moisture meters, infrared thermal cameras, and digital roof measurement tools to help identify hidden moisture, damaged decking, and accurate roof dimensions. Our crews then install the appropriate underlayment, flashing, and new roofing materials, using laser levels and pneumatic roofing nailers to support accurate placement and consistent fastening in line with manufacturer specifications and applicable Florida Building Code requirements.

Most residential roof replacements take 1–3 days for shingles and longer for tile or metal, depending on the roof's size and condition. Costs vary by material and repair needs, so we provide a written estimate based on your roof's measurements and the work required.

We back our roof replacement work with a 5-year written workmanship warranty covering eligible installation issues. We explain the coverage and exclusions before work begins, so you know what protection applies to your new roof after installation.

Residential Roof Replacement Projects We've Completed in Fort Myers

  • Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement
  • Standing Seam Metal Roof Replacement
  • Flat Roof Replacement
Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement

The homeowner called Trusted Fort Myers Roofing after years of patch jobs left their old shingle roof leaking into the attic. Once the old roof came off, we found rotted plywood around the vents and tar smeared over old problem spots, so we replaced the bad decking and re-nailed the rest to code. We finished with a peel-and-stick water barrier, new flashing and fresh architectural shingles, then cleaned up and passed final inspection.

Final Cost: $8,500

Turnaround Time: 2 Days

Standing Seam Metal Roof Replacement

The homeowner was tired of losing shingles every storm season and wanted to switch to a standing seam metal roof that could actually hold up. After the tear-off, we found soft, water-stained decking near the eaves where gutters had been overflowing for years, so we replaced those sections before laying down high-temp underlayment built for the heat that builds up under metal. The new panels went on with concealed clips that let the metal expand and contract in the Florida sun, and we sealed every edge with matching flashing before cleaning up.

Final Cost: $18,500

Turnaround Time: 4 Days

Flat Roof Replacement

The homeowner’s flat roof had turned into a shallow pond, with cracked, peeling roll roofing and standing water that sat for days after every afternoon storm. Once we stripped off the old layers, we found soaked insulation and soft decking underneath, so we replaced the damaged wood and added tapered insulation to get water flowing toward the drains again. We finished with a new modified bitumen membrane and fresh edge metal, and now the roof sheds water the way it should after a downpour.

Final Cost: $12,000

Turnaround Time: 3 days

Residential Roof Replacement Services in Fort Myers

Worn-Out Roof Replacement

Most architectural shingles last around 20 to 30 years, and worn-out roof replacement becomes the right call once granules collect in the gutters or tabs start cupping.

Dark streaks are often caused by Gloeocapsa magma, an algae that feeds on limestone filler in shingles, so we install algae-resistant shingles with copper-infused granules.

At Trusted Fort Myers Roofing, we install new roofing systems that restore weather protection and give your home a clean, uniform look that lasts.

Partial Roof Replacement

When damage is confined to one or two slopes, partial roof replacement renews those areas while the rest of the roof keeps doing its job.

We tie new shingles in at hips and ridges, where transitions are least noticeable, using bundles from the same production lot to limit color variation.

Since some codes require the whole roof to meet current standards once more than 25 percent is replaced within a year, every project is checked against local rules first.

Re-Roofing

A single layer of flat, dry shingles on a sound deck can often be renewed through re-roofing, placing a new covering over the existing roof.

Because trapped heat between layers can shorten shingle life, we review manufacturer specifications and extend the drip edge so water still sheds cleanly into the gutters.

The approach keeps costs and project time down while giving the home a dependable, refreshed roof.

Roof Tear-Off and Replacement

Stripping the roof to bare wood makes roof tear-off and replacement the most thorough option, since every hidden deck problem becomes visible and fixable.

Our crews lay synthetic underlayment, which resists tearing and won’t wrinkle when wet, along with ice and water shield at valleys and penetrations.

Using matching components from one shingle manufacturer also qualifies many roofs for enhanced system warranties that cover more than the shingles.

Roof Replacement with Structural and System Upgrades

An open roof is the ideal time to strengthen what sits underneath, and roof replacement with structural and system upgrades covers framing and ventilation improvements alongside the new covering.

We add hurricane clips at roof-to-wall connections and tape deck seams to create a secondary water barrier, upgrades that can qualify for wind mitigation insurance credits in some states.

Balanced soffit and ridge ventilation also lowers attic heat and extends shingle life.

Insurance-Related Roof Replacement

Storm claims involve more paperwork , and insurance-related roof replacement works through that process using the adjuster’s scope as a starting point.

We review the estimate line by line and submit supplements for commonly missed items such as drip edge, starter strips or code-required underlayment.

On replacement cost policies, withheld depreciation is usually released once the final invoice is submitted, so accurate records keep that money from slipping through the cracks.

Residential Roof Replacement Frequently Asked Questions

What inspections happen during a roof replacement?

Usually three or more. Many Florida building departments require a roof nailing inspection, a dry-in and flashing inspection and a final inspection. We schedule each one so the job keeps moving without delays.

Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Fort Myers?

Yes. A roof permit is required to replace, repair, or re-cover a roof on an existing structure in Lee County. At Trusted Fort Myers Roofing, we help homeowners understand the permitting requirements for their project. Cape Coral, Fort Myers, Bonita Springs, Estero, Fort Myers Beach, and Sanibel have their own permitting departments, so the permit must be obtained through the office that covers your property address.

Does an unpermitted roof affect my insurance?

Yes. Roof permits are the gold standard for age assessment, and any roof without a permit is deemed to be the same age as the building by insurance. That’s one more reason a properly permitted replacement pays off.

If 25% of my roof is damaged, do I have to replace the whole thing?

Not always. If an existing roof was built, repaired or replaced in compliance with the 2007 Florida Building Code or any later edition, and 25 percent or more of it is being repaired or replaced, only that portion has to meet current code. If a roof was constructed prior to March 1, 2009, it’s likely still governed by Florida’s 25% Roof Replacement Rule.

Can I get a grant to help pay for a new roof in Fort Myers?

Yes, if you qualify. My Safe Florida Home offers a matching grant of up to $10,000 covering two-thirds of approved mitigation projects, and the home must be a single-family, site-built, owner-occupied residence, not a second home, holiday home or rental. Because it’s a reimbursement program, it can’t give homeowners money on the front end.

Is a secondary water barrier required on a new roof?

Yes. Florida building codes require either a self-adhering “peel and stick” membrane across the entire roof decking, or taped seams along with felt or similar nailed-down underlayment. We install one on every replacement because it’s the layer that keeps water out if shingles or tiles blow off.
