What we do

Four things. That's it.

We'd rather do four things properly than twelve of them badly. All four start the same way — somebody gets up there and looks.

Roofers repairing wind damage on a Southwest Florida roof

Storm damage repair

After a named storm — or honestly, just a rough afternoon squall — the damage that costs you money is the damage you can't see from the driveway. Tabs that lifted, broke their seal, and laid right back down. Cracked tile. Ridge caps that shifted an inch. That's what an inspection is for — finding it and documenting it before it turns into a stain on your ceiling.

Storm damage repair

Roof repair

Leaks, bad flashing, cracked or slipped tile, pipe boots, valleys, ridge caps. Quoted by area — not by whole roof.

Roof inspection

Full walk of the exterior, attic check where we can safely get up there, and a written report with photos. Free, and free to walk away from.

Insurance claim help

Damage documented the way an adjuster needs to see it, with a contractor on site when they come out. Nobody here negotiates your claim — Florida law is specific about who may — and we'll tell you when you need someone who can.

How the free inspection actually goes

No sales visit dressed up as an inspection. Four steps, and you can stop after any one of them.

01

You call us

We'll ask what you're seeing, when it started, and whether water's coming in right now. That tells us how fast we need to be there.

02

Someone comes to look

Whole exterior. Attic too, if there's safe access. Photos of everything we find, not just the spot you called about.

03

You get it in writing

Findings, photos, and a plain split: urgent, keep an eye on it, or fine as-is.

04

You decide

If a repair makes sense, it gets quoted by area. If your roof doesn't need work yet, the report says so and you owe nothing.

Local knowledge

Roofs fail differently down here

Three things put a Lee County roof under load that a roof in Ohio never sees. Figuring out which one is working on your roof is most of the diagnosis.

Wind gets under the edges

Damage almost always starts at the perimeter. Wind lifts a shingle tab or a ridge cap, breaks the factory seal, and the tab settles right back down. From your driveway the roof looks perfect. It isn't sealed anymore, and the next driving rain runs underneath it instead of over it.

The underlayment ages out first

On a tile roof, the tile can be in great shape while the underlayment below it is done. That layer is what actually keeps water out of your house — which is why an inspection that never leaves the ground tells you almost nothing.

Salt air eats the metal

Closer to the water, fasteners, drip edge and flashing corrode faster than the covering does. Two identical roofs — one in Bonita Springs, one ten miles inland — don't age at the same rate.

None of that is visible from your driveway. That's the whole reason we start every job with somebody actually getting up there.

What a free inspection covers

Tile roof being laid on a Southwest Florida home

Before anyone quotes you a whole new roof.

Florida's code used to say that if you repaired more than 25% of a roof in a year, the entire system had to come up to current code. SB 4-D changed that in May 2022. If your roof was built or replaced to the 2007 Florida Building Code or later — in practice, permitted after March 1, 2009 — only the part being repaired has to meet current code.

So if your roof is newer than that and someone tells you the 25% rule forces a full replacement, ask them to show you where it says that.

Service areas

Where we work

Four cities in Lee County, covered properly — rather than a service radius we can't actually reach on the day you need us.

Fort Myers

Home base, on Cypress Lake Drive. Older shingle south of Colonial, newer tile out toward Daniels.

Cape Coral

Wide open canal lots with almost no tree break, so wind gets a clean run at your roof edges. Permits go through the city.

Estero

Mostly tile, mostly inside communities where the HOA wants a say before the permit does.

Bonita Springs

Closest of the four to the Gulf, so corrosion on fasteners and flashing is a real problem, not a theoretical one.

Common questions

Straight answers

Not here? Call and ask. We'd rather answer it than have you guess.

Is the inspection really free?

Yes. No charge for the visit or the report, and no obligation to book work with us after. If your roof is fine, we'll tell you it's fine and put that in writing — which is a handy thing to have at renewal time.

How fast can you get here?

Usually 24 to 48 hours for a scheduled inspection. If water's actively coming in, say so when you call and we'll treat it that way.

Do I need a permit for a roof repair?

In Lee County, yes — a permit is required to replace, repair or re-cover a roof, and your contractor pulls it — not you. Product approval numbers for the materials get filed with the application. On residential re-roofs there's a Roof Inspection Affidavit before the final inspection, and a permit expires if nothing's inspected within 180 days.

Should I file an insurance claim?

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Depends on the cause, the age of the roof, and your deductible. You get the repair number first, so you can decide with a real figure in front of you — and we'll say plainly when it looks like the repair costs less than your deductible.

Worth knowing: in Florida you generally have one year from the date of loss to give notice of a claim, and 18 months for a supplemental claim. Shorter than most people expect.

Can you fix one section, or do I need a whole new roof?

Usually one section. Repairs get quoted by area. A full replacement is a real recommendation when the covering or underlayment is done across the whole roof, or when failures are showing up in several unrelated places at once. It's not our default answer.
