Fast, Reliable Roof Repair Across Fort Myers

Roof repair in Fort Myers usually runs between $350 and $1,800 depending on what’s leaking and what’s behind it.

If water is getting into your house, call us at (239) 323-5522 and we’ll have a straight answer on what it will take. We’re TruePane Windows & Doors, and while the name says windows, the truth is most roofs in this town leak where they meet the windows, doors, and wall penetrations. Dale Kessler has kept the same rule on the board since day one: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. Same goes for flashing.

Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Fort Myers’s Preferred Roof Repair Company

Fort Myers homeowners call us for roof repair because we come at it from the window and door side, which is where most roof leaks actually begin. A roofer can re-shingle a slope, but if the flashing around an older window or patio door is rotted or out of code, the leak returns with the next hard rain. We’ve worked on 1970s CBS ranchers in old Gateway, 1990s two-stories off McGregor Boulevard, and post-Ian rebuilds all over the 33901, 33905, and 33919 zips. Our crews are background-checked, uniformed, and they know Fort Myers well enough to stage a job on a tight lot without blocking a neighbor’s driveway or leaving fasteners in the grass.

Every job gets the Keystone Standard: both warranty layers registered in writing before the truck leaves the driveway, and a 90-Day Done Right Promise that means what it says. We don’t argue. We come back. That’s why homeowners from North Fort Myers to Lehigh Acres keep our number in the phone rather than a folder. A live person answers every call, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. No voicemail tree, no call center. You call, you get a person.

Flashing Repair Around Existing Impact-Rated Windows and Doors

Most roof repairs that touch a window or door in Fort Myers come down to one thing: the flashing. Ian’s rain found every seam, and on homes where impact windows were installed years ago with cheap sealant or poorly lapped flashing, water followed the gap. We remove the old flashing, inspect the rough opening, and reinstall with materials that meet Florida Product Approval standards. In Fort Myers, this is not optional work. Lee County inspectors will flag a repair that doesn’t meet current design pressure requirements for your wind zone.

Water Intrusion Remediation at Window-to-Roof Intersections

Water that gets behind stucco doesn’t dry out. It sits, rots the wood buck, and feeds mold inside the wall cavity. We’ve pulled windows in older Gateway homes and found the original 1980s framing completely soft to the touch. The repair means more than a tube of caulk. We open the intersection, cut out the rot, replace the buck, and set the window or door back dead level. Then we document the repair so your wind mitigation inspector can see exactly what was done. That paperwork matters in Fort Myers, because insurers are asking for it before they renew.

Structural Inspection of Existing Framing and Bucks Before Re-installation

Pull an older window in Fort Myers and you might find the jamb has been wicking water for a decade. Homeowners on McGregor and Cleveland Avenue don’t always know it until the window comes out. Before we reinstall any door or window after a roof repair, we check the framing. If it’s sound, we proceed. If it’s punky, we show you the problem and price the fix on paper before we cut anything. That’s the square deal we’ve run on since Dale Kessler started this company. You get a written line-item quote before work starts, not after.

Roof-to-Wall Flashing Remediation

Where a flat roof or low slope meets an exterior wall, and where a second-story set of windows meets a first-story roof, the old flashing on 1970s and 1980s Fort Myers homes has often fatigued. South Florida sun embrittles the sealant, Gulf salt air corrodes the metal, and a hard summer storm does the rest. We repair the transition with proper drainage plane, lapped flashing, and sealant rated for impact conditions. On one 1987 CBS ranch in the old Gateway neighborhood, our crew repaired roof-to-wall flashing and replaced two rotten window bucks hidden behind stucco where Ian-driven rain had wicked into the jamb. We staged all materials in the driveway, kept the sidewalk clear for neighbors, and finished before the city’s noise cutoff, then documented the repair for the homeowner’s wind mitigation inspection so their insurer would keep the policy.

Trusted Brands We Service in Fort Myers

We service and retrofit around the brands Fort Myers homeowners already trust: PGT, CGI, and CWS are the ones we see most often in Lee County, plus ViewLux on custom jobs. Our crews work with factory hardware and proper glazing systems, and we keep common flashing profiles and fasteners stocked for fast turnaround. That means fewer trips back and forth from the supply house and a tighter schedule on your repair.

Common Roof Repair Problems We See in Fort Myers Homes

• Rotted wood bucks behind stucco. Fort Myers’s year-round humidity traps moisture in stucco-framed openings, and older wood bucks rot quietly for years before anyone notices. We find this most often on homes built before the 1992 code overhaul.
• Failed flashing at window and door heads. The intense Gulf Coast UV and salt air breaks down sealant faster here than inland, so flashed joints that looked fine five years ago may be cracked and separated now. A repair that doesn’t replace the full flashing lap will fail again.
• Water intrusion at second-story roof intersections. Ian-driven rain found every seam on two-story Fort Myers homes, especially where a first-story roof deck met a wall with windows above. Those intersections need sequenced flashing, not just resealing.
• Insurance-driven inspection failures. Post-Ian, a roof repair that touches window or door flashing is reviewed for current design-pressure compliance. If the installer used non-impact-rated fasteners or sealant, the repair fails inspection and your wind mitigation credit is at risk.

Pricing for Roof Repair in Fort Myers, FL

What Roof Repair Costs in Fort Myers

When a roof repair triggers a full window replacement, the numbers change. Impact windows in Fort Myers generally run $800 to $1,500 per window installed. Impact single-hung units land between $900 and $1,800. Large or custom openings, like a picture window over a patio or a corner unit, run $2,500 to $5,000. Whole-home packages typically fall between $8,000 and $25,000, depending on opening count, wind zone, floor height, and frame material. We stock more than a dozen manufacturer lines including Andersen, Pella, Marvin, Milgard, PGT, and CGI, and we quote them side by side on paper so you can see exactly what you’re buying. The free in-home measure and written quote is the close. No pressure, just numbers.

One thing we hear often in Fort Myers: a homeowner budgeted for a simple like-for-like replacement on a 1988 CBS ranch, and the inspector then required impact-rated units with documented design-pressure ratings. That turns a $600 job into a $3,000-plus project. We explain that before it happens. Lee County building inspectors are flagging any window or door swap as a permit-required alteration that must meet current Florida Product Approval design-pressure ratings for the home’s specific wind zone. The Keystone Standard means we know your wind zone before we quote, not after.

Florida Pays You Back

Fort Myers homeowners have a few programs working in their favor right now. My Safe Florida Home offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind mitigation upgrades. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit can return 30 percent of product cost on qualifying units, up to $600 per year. And after a wind mitigation inspection, which usually runs $75 to $150 in Lee County, windstorm premium credits average around 25 percent on the windstorm portion of your policy. Programs and carriers set the final numbers, so we never promise a specific credit until your inspection is done. But we do register both warranty layers in writing so the paperwork is ready.

If you’re weighing impact windows against hurricane shutters, consider the daily math. Shutters sit in the garage until a storm comes, then someone has to hang every panel in the wind and rain. Impact windows protect the house permanently, with no panels to store, no labor before the storm, and none after. They also carry design-pressure ratings that Lee County inspectors require when your roof repair touches an opening. You never have to remember them. They’re already installed.

Roof Repair in Fort Myers and the Lee County Permit Reality

Every roof repair in Fort Myers now happens in the shadow of Hurricane Ian’s Category 4 landfall. That means roof penetrations, flashings, and curb-mounted units are routinely inspected against the same Florida Product Approval and design-pressure standards as the windows and doors below them. This is unique to Lee County at this scale. Tampa, Orlando, Naples, none of them had a direct hit that rewired the entire inspection culture in one afternoon. If your roof repair touches a window or door flashing, the inspector will review it for current design-pressure compliance. Failing to pull that permit triggers a stop-work order. We handle the permit before the first tool comes off the truck.

We also work on tight Fort Myers lots the way a neighbor should. Staging all materials in the driveway, keeping the sidewalk clear, respecting the city’s 7 p.m. noise cutoff, and cleaning the site before we leave. Staging materials on the street or sidewalk without a right-of-way permit violates Fort Myers’s post-Ian debris-hauling rules and delays the job. We don’t do it. We’ve built our Fort Myers reputation on jobs finished clean and on schedule, on lots where one wrong move blocks the neighbor’s car.
