We work throughout Fort Myers, from the established grid streets off McGregor Boulevard to the open-acre lots east of I-75 and the newer builds along Treeline Avenue. Our crews know this area’s housing stock well. The 1970s and 1980s CBS ranches east of US-41, the post-Andrew stucco homes in Gateway, the older flat-to-low-slope roofs near downtown’s River District – each presents its own deck condition, tie-down pattern, and permitting path. That local knowledge means our estimate reflects what the inspector will actually flag, not just what the shingle wrapper promises.

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

TruePane Windows & Doors has been led by Dale Kessler for more than four decades in the trades, and that experience shows up in the details Fort Myers homeowners care about: the dry-in sequence before the tear-off, the uplift clip pattern on a 1988 CBS gable, the way a shell-rock driveway changes what equipment comes to the job. We’re the company that registers both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves the driveway. That’s The Keystone Standard, and it applies to every roof we set in Fort Myers.

Our standing with Lee County homeowners is built on one rule: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. For roofing, that means the deck is sound before the underlayment goes down, the nail pattern matches the wind zone, and the permit is closed before we call the project finished. We train our own apprentices into journeymen in-house, and the technicians who walk your Fort Myers roof are background-checked and uniformed. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week – no voicemail tree, no call center. When a homeowner off Colonial Boulevard calls about a post-storm leak, they talk to a person who knows what a dry-in crew should already have done.

Our Roof Replacement & Installation Services in Fort Myers

Roof Replacement & Installation

Full tear-off and replacement is the core of what we do across Fort Myers. Most homes in this area were built between 1970 and 2005, and a large share of those original roofs have never been replaced. That means rotten decking beneath the valleys, missing drip edge along the eaves, and tie-downs that don’t meet current uplift requirements. We strip to the deck, repair or replace sheathing as needed, install code-correct underlayment and fasteners, and finish with shingles, standing seam metal, or whatever profile your structure calls for. Every roof in a Fort Myers wind zone gets Florida Product Approval-rated materials with design pressure ratings matched to the opening – never a number above +/-100 PSF.

Impact-Rated Skylight Replacement

Older skylights on Fort Myers homes are a common post-Ian failure point. The curb-mounted units from the 1980s and 1990s leaked around the flashing long before the hurricane showed up, and the glass in them was never impact-rated to begin with. We replace those with current impact-rated units set on new curbs, flashed for our South Florida rain volume, and documented for the permit record. If the skylight sits over a living area in a home near the Caloosahatchee, the county wants to see that product approval number before the final.

Detached Garage & Barn Roofing

Acreage properties around Fort Myers – think Buckingham Road, Orange River Road, and the larger parcels south of Lehigh Acres – almost always have a detached garage, pole barn, or equipment shed with its own roof problems. These structures need their own permit, and they don’t always match the main house’s profile. We scope each outbuilding separately: roof radius, deck spacing, tie-down requirements, and whether a standing-seam profile has to be special-ordered to match or stand alone. We’ll tell you before you sign whether your barn needs a different metal gauge than your house.

Roof Decking and Drip Edge Retrofit

Fort Myers homes built before the early 1990s commonly lack drip edge, and a re-roof is the only time that gets corrected properly. If the deck is exposed and the inspector sees raw sheathing against the fascia, you’ll be flagged. We quote drip edge and any required deck replacement upfront, line by line, so the final invoice isn’t a surprise. On a concrete block home in an older Fort Myers neighborhood, this often turns a straightforward shingle job into a partial re-deck – better to know before the dumpster arrives, not after.

Trusted Brands We Service in Fort Myers

We’re authorized installers for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and for Fort Myers roofing work we work heavily with Mr-Glass, Therma-Tru, ViewLux, and PGT. These brands hold Florida Product Approval numbers that Lee County inspectors recognize, and they spec impact-rated underlayment and accessories that match our coastal wind zone. Because we stock common parts and trims locally for Fort Myers jobs, a punch-list item doesn’t stall your final inspection for a week. When you choose a PGT or ViewLux skylight, for example, we already know the lead time and the flashing sequence for a curb mount on a low-slope Fort Myers roof.

Common Roof Replacement & Installation Problems We See in Fort Myers Homes

• Septic and well setbacks dictating roof sequencing. On acreage lots throughout Lee County, a replacement roof plane or equipment pad that encroaches on a 75-foot septic drainfield setback can force a full septic relocation before the roof final passes. We check the survey and the county’s records before we quote, not after demo.
• Hidden deck rot behind intact shingles. Fort Myers humidity works on roof sheathing year-round, and a roof that looks serviceable from the curb often has soft decking along the eaves and valleys. Once the shingles come off, the inspector sees the rot – and the price changes. We probe the deck during the estimate and write the repair allowance into the line items.
• Original drip edge and tie-downs that can’t pass current code. Homes built before the mid-1990s were nailed for a different wind standard. Lee County inspectors now flag missing drip edge and under-driven uplift clips on any re-roof where the deck is exposed. If your Fort Myers home still has its original roof, plan for these items in the first quote, not the change order.
• Outbuildings that need their own permit and profile. A detached barn’s roof radius doesn’t always match a standing-seam order cut for the main house. We’ve seen homeowners budget for the house roof, then discover the shop needs a separate permit and a different metal profile – adding 30% mid-project. We quote detached structures as separate line items from day one.

What Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in Fort Myers

Impact windows in Fort Myers run $800 to $1,500 per window installed. Impact single-hung units land between $900 and $1,800. Large or custom openings – a picture window off a lanai, a sliding glass wall – run $2,500 to $5,000. A whole-home package across a 2,000-square-foot Fort Myers house sits in the $8,000 to $25,000 range depending on opening count, wind zone, floor height, and frame material. What moves the price here more than anywhere else is the Lee County permit path: a like-for-like swap on a 1988 CBS ranch becomes a code-correct retrofit once the inspector requires documented design pressure ratings on every unit. We handle that paperwork for you, and the free in-home measure produces a written quote with every line stated. No allowances buried in a lump-sum number, no second visit left hanging.

Florida Pays You Back

Fort Myers homeowners can stack a few real incentives on a roof and impact-window package. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades – a roof replacement with Florida Product Approval-rated materials can count. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax at the point of purchase. The federal 25C energy credit returns 30% of product cost, up to $600 per year, on qualifying units. And once a wind-mitigation inspection is done, windstorm premium credits average around 25% on the windstorm portion of your policy – the inspection itself runs $75 to $150. Programs and carriers set the final numbers, and we don’t guarantee what your insurer will approve. But we’ll provide the documentation they ask for.
