Roof Leak Repair in Fort Myers, FL | Emergency Service & Roof Repair
Trusted Fort Myers Roofing handles roof leak repair in Fort Myers, FL, with 24/7 emergency service for homes and commercial properties from Whiskey Creek and the Caloosahatchee riverfront to Lehigh Acres and Bonita Springs. As a licensed and insured local roofer, we track down leaks on shingle, tile and metal roofs and fix them before a small drip turns into a much bigger problem.
Left alone, even a minor leak can soak attic insulation, rot the roof decking, and spread mold through ceilings and walls within a couple of days. Our team finds the source with moisture meters, infrared thermal cameras, drone inspections, and controlled water testing, then replaces the damaged underlayment, flashing or roofing instead of covering it with sealant.
We finish most leak repairs in a single visit, though tile roofs or rotted decking can take us 1 to 3 days. Leak repairs around Fort Myers usually run about $375 to $1,500, and we always start with a free written estimate based on what we actually find up there.
Every repair we make is backed by our 5-year written workmanship warranty, so the fix holds through the next rainy season and well beyond. We’ll go over exactly what’s covered before we start, so you know where you stand from day one.

Roof Leak Repairs We've Completed in Fort Myers, FL
The homeowner first noticed a small brown stain in the bedroom corner, but by the time they called us the drywall had cracked and started sagging from all the water soaking through. Our moisture meter and thermal camera traced it to rusted step flashing where the roof meets the wall, and once we peeled back the shingles we found a strip of soft decking that had been wet for months. We replaced the rotted wood, installed new step flashing with a kickout diverter and fresh underlayment, then wove matching shingles back in so the roof is sealed tight and the ceiling can finally be repaired.
Final Cost: $1,150
Turnaround Time: 1 Day
The homeowner called Trusted Fort Myers Roofing after a big summer storm when water started dripping right next to their dining room chandelier, and by the next morning the drywall seam had split wide open. Up on the roof, we found a cracked rubber pipe boot around the plumbing vent that had been letting water in for a while, soaking the decking and spreading across the ceiling before it finally showed. We shut off power to the light fixture for safety, replaced the soggy decking, then installed a long-lasting silicone pipe boot with new underlayment and shingles so that spot stays dry through the rest of storm season.
Final Cost: $980
Turnaround Time: 1 Day
The homeowner kept spotting new stains across the living room ceiling every time it rained, and by the time they reached out, the whole middle section had started to sag. Once we lifted the concrete tiles above that room, we found several cracked and slipped tiles sitting on underlayment that had dried out and torn after years under the Florida sun, letting water pour onto the decking and soak the attic insulation below. We pulled out the wet insulation, replaced the damaged decking and laid new underlayment across that whole slope, then reset the tiles with fresh roof tile adhesive and swapped out every broken piece so the living room stays dry for good.
Final Cost: $3,400
Turnaround Time: 3 Days

Roof Leak Repair Frequently Asked Questions
Does homeowners insurance cover roof leak repair?
Sometimes. Insurance will cover water damage from a roof leak if the leak was sudden and accidental, but it won’t cover floods, sewage backup or gradual leaks. That’s why Trusted Fort Myers Roofing documents the cause of every leak we fix, so you know where you stand before filing.
Why does my roof only leak during certain storms?
It usually comes down to wind direction. Wind-driven rain pushes water sideways and even uphill under flashing and shingle edges, so a roof can stay dry in a straight-down shower and then leak when a storm blows in from one particular side.
How do you find a leak that’s hard to locate?
We start with a moisture meter and an attic inspection to narrow down the area. If the source still isn’t obvious, a controlled water test lets us soak one section of the roof at a time until the leak shows up inside. It takes a little patience, but it saves you from paying for repairs in the wrong spot.
Can a roof leak cause mold?
Yes, and fast. Mold growth can occur within 24 to 48 hours after clean water damage. That’s why we treat even a small drip as urgent.
Why is the stain nowhere near where the roof is damaged?
Because water travels. Plumbing and HVAC lines often run across attic joists, so water may travel before it shows on the ceiling, which means the stain is rarely the spot where water actually got in. We trace the full path with moisture meters and thermal cameras before touching anything.
Could my ceiling stain be from the AC instead of the roof?
Yes, it happens a lot in Florida. AC systems produce condensation that normally runs out a drain line, but when that system fails, water can overflow and mimic a roof leak. A roof leak grows during or right after rain, while an AC stain gets worse in hot, humid months and has nothing to do with rain.
