Roof Replacement in Fort Myers, FL

Storm damage on a Southwest Florida roof isn’t always obvious from the ground. Wind can loosen the roof-to-deck attachment or lift edge metal without leaving a visible hole, and wind-driven rain can find its way under flashing and into the decking. Apple Roofing’s storm damage repair starts with a full inspection, so you know whether the damage calls for a targeted fix or a larger replacement.

That work covers hurricane damage, wind damage, hail damage, and tree damage, and if a roof is exposed before a replacement can start, emergency tarping keeps water out in the meantime. Every visit includes photos and a written report of what we find.

After a hurricane or tropical storm, a Fort Myers homeowner usually has to work with their insurance carrier before a replacement can move forward. Apple Roofing offers insurance claim support on the roofing side of that process: we inspect the roof, photograph wind and storm damage at the shingle, flashing, and edge level, and put what we find into a written report you can share with your carrier.

Coverage depends on your policy and your carrier’s review, and the claim decisions rest with your carrier. Florida policies often carry a separate hurricane or windstorm deductible, so it’s worth reviewing your policy documents before you file. For general guidance on property insurance and storm claims in Florida, the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation publishes free consumer resources. Whether to file a claim is your decision, and we’re available to answer questions as they come up.

A roof problem in a beachfront condo behaves differently than one in a downtown office building, so no single approach fits every Fort Myers property. Apple Roofing replaces roofs on single-family homes, from tile-roofed homes along McGregor Boulevard to newer construction near Gateway, and on waterfront and canal properties in communities such as Town & River, where added salt air and humidity shape the flashing, fastener, and seam choices. 

We also work on retail centers, office buildings, and warehouses, along with apartment complexes and condominium properties through our multi-family roofing work, plus churches and schools with timing coordinated around service schedules or the school calendar. Whatever the property, every job starts with the same inspection, clear documentation, and a straightforward assessment.

Wondering what a roof replacement costs in Fort Myers? It comes down to your roof itself, the material you choose, and what’s found once the old roofing comes off, and we walk you through each piece so the number makes sense.

These are the factors that shape the number most:

• Roof size and pitch: Larger and steeper roofs take more material, crew time, and safety equipment.
• Roofing material: Asphalt shingle, metal, tile, and flat-roof membranes sit at different price points.
• Existing layers and tear-off: Removing and disposing of old roofing changes with what’s on the roof now, and heavy tile adds handling work.
• Decking condition: Wet, soft, or damaged decking is replaced before new roofing goes on.
• Wind and code requirements: Florida’s roof-to-deck attachment, underlayment, and fastening requirements affect materials and labor.
• Roofline details: Valleys, chimneys, skylights, and vents all add flashing work.
• Roof access: Tight lots, tall homes, and mature landscaping affect how crews and materials reach the roof.

After the inspection, we give you a written estimate so the scope and materials are clear before you decide anything. For homeowners who want to spread out the cost, our roof financing page covers the payment options available.

Every replacement follows the same sequence, from the first inspection to the final walkthrough. The steps follow our process and apply to shingle, metal, and tile roofs.

1. Schedule a free inspection: Contact us or call (239) 220-5120 to set a time for a free roof inspection.
2. Inspect the full roof: We check the roofing, flashing, valleys, vents, and, where accessible, the attic and decking, and you receive photos and a written report.
3. Choose materials and review the scope: We explain the shingle, metal, tile, and flat-roof options, including anything Florida’s code affects, and give you an itemized scope before any work begins.
4. Permit and product approval: Re-roofing requires a building permit, the application goes in under a licensed contractor, and the roofing products carry Florida product approval numbers.
5. Remove the old roofing and check the decking: We tear off the existing roof, inspect the decking, and replace sections that have lost their strength.
6. Install the new roof and complete the inspections: We install underlayment, flashing, drip edge, and the new roofing, complete the inspections the permit requires, and walk the finished roof with you.
