Roof repair in Fort Myers
Leaks, lifted shingles, cracked tile and loose metal fasteners, fixed by a licensed roofer who works in Lee County.
Leaks are the most common call we get
In Fort Myers and the rest of Lee County, most leaks trace back to a handful of spots: flashing where the roof meets a wall or lanai, rubber pipe boots that crack in the sun, valleys where water concentrates, and fasteners that back out on metal roofs. A good roofer checks the attic as well as the roof, because water often travels along the decking before it shows on a ceiling.
Repairs by roof type
Shingle roofs
Wind lifts the edges of shingles and breaks the seal strip that holds them flat. Lifted shingles may look fine from the street but let wind-driven rain in. Repairs replace damaged shingles, reseal neighbors and fix any exposed nails.
Concrete tile roofs
Tile itself rarely leaks. The underlayment beneath it does the waterproofing, and in Florida heat it can wear out years before the tile. Repairs range from replacing cracked tiles to lifting a section of tile, replacing the underlayment and relaying the tile.
Metal roofs
Exposed-fastener metal roofs leak when screws loosen or their rubber washers dry out. Standing-seam roofs more often leak at trim, penetrations or where panels were cut. See our metal roofing page for more.

Patched after Ian? Have it checked
Many roofs in Lee County were patched quickly after Hurricane Ian, sometimes by out-of-area crews who are no longer around to honor a warranty. If yours was repaired in late 2022 or 2023 and you now see a new stain, have the earlier repair inspected. It is often the source.
Questions we hear
What does roof repair cost in Fort Myers?
Small repairs such as resealing flashing, replacing a pipe boot or swapping a few shingles cost far less than repairs that involve rotten decking or a large area of tile. The roofer will give you a written price after seeing the roof.
Can you fix just part of my roof after storm damage?
Often, yes. Since 2022, Florida lets roofs built or replaced under the 2007 Florida Building Code or later have only the damaged section repaired, rather than replacing a whole section when more than 25% is damaged. Older roofs may still need more. The roofer will tell you which rule applies.
How fast can someone stop an active leak?
Call rather than using the form. In most cases a roofer can install a temporary tarp quickly, then come back for the permanent repair.
Will insurance pay for my roof repair?
Insurance usually covers sudden damage like wind or a fallen limb, not gradual wear. Hurricane damage is subject to your hurricane deductible, which is often a percentage of your dwelling coverage. Read your declarations page before filing.
