AfterFast, Reliable Roof Replacement & Installation Across Iona
Roof replacement in Iona runs $12,000 to $28,000 for a typical single-family CBS home, with most jobs landing between $15,000 and $22,000 depending on square footage, pitch, and whether you’re upgrading to a Miami-Dade NOA-rated system. We know that number sits heavy, and we also know what it buys in this specific stretch of Lee County: a roof that holds its nail pattern through a named storm and passes the wind mitigation inspection your insurance carrier now expects. TruePane has been answering calls from Iona homeowners since the post-Ian rebuild cycle began, and we’ve learned exactly what the permitting office on Monroe Street will and won’t accept. If you’re looking at a roof replacement and want a straight answer on cost, code, and what a compliant quote actually includes, call us at (239) 323-5522.
Here’s what matters in Iona specifically: your roof replacement has to meet Lee County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone wind-load requirements, which means a design pressure rating matched to the opening and the roof deck, not just a shingle brand the supply house had in stock. We’ll get into what that looks like line by line below.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Iona’s Go-To Roof Replacement Team
We’re a windows and doors company first, and that matters for your roof. Before any roof goes on, the openings have to be right: the fascia, the rake boards, the flashing that ties the roof deck to the wall system, the drip edge that seats against the window header. A roof replacement in Iona that leaves a corroded jalousie window in place is a job half done, and your insurer will notice. We bring four decades of glazing and opening experience to every roof project so the whole assembly works as one system.
Dale Kessler started this company on a single rule: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That rule applies to a roof deck too. If the sheathing isn’t nailed to the truss on the county’s required pattern, the shingle doesn’t matter. We check it, photograph it, and document it. No arguing about whether it was done right. It was done right or it wasn’t, and we stand behind it.
We also know how to navigate the county’s post-Ian inspection backlog. Homeowners off McGregor Boulevard, along the Caloosahatchee corridor, and back in the neighborhoods behind Iona Road tell us the same thing: they’ve waited months for a permit, then had a contractor show up who didn’t know Lee County requires install photos sent to the insurer for wind mitigation credits under Florida Statute 627.0629. We handle that paperwork before the truck leaves.
Our team of background-checked, uniformed technicians measures twice, quotes manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and registers both warranty layers in writing. That’s our Keystone Standard. In Iona’s salty, humid air, the warranty registration matters because the fine print on coastal corrosion exclusions is where cheap bids fall apart.
Our Roof Replacement & Installation Services in Iona
Full Roof Replacement & Tear-Off
Most Iona homes built between the late 1960s and early 1990s are on their second or third layer of asphalt shingles over concrete block. A full tear-off is what the code assumes, and it’s what gives you a clean nail deck for the wind-load pattern Lee County enforces. We remove down to the sheathing, inspect for rot and delamination, replace any substandard decking, and then rebuild the assembly with the underlayment, flashing, and fasteners your wind zone demands. If you’re on a canal off Iona Road or within a half-mile of the river, expect us to specify corrosion-resistant fasteners and stainless drip edge.
Tile Roof Replacement & Flat Roof Systems
A number of Iona’s older homes carry barrel tile or flat concrete tile systems that took a beating during Ian. Tile roofs in this market are expensive to replace because the tile itself is costly and the deck underneath often needs reinforcement to meet current uplift requirements. If you have a flat roof section over a carport or lanai, it needs a TPO or modified bitumen system rated for ponding water and 150 mph wind speeds, not whatever roll roofing the last crew stapled down. We quote both tile and membrane systems with the Lee County permit packet and NOA documentation included.
Re-Roofing & Overlay
In some cases, Lee County permits a re-roof overlay of a single existing shingle layer. We’ll tell you honestly when it’s not a good idea for your home. If the deck has any sag, if you can see daylight through the attic in places, or if the last roof was installed before the 2002 Florida Building Code took effect, an overlay will likely fail the wind mitigation inspection and leave your insurance discount on the table. When an overlay is genuinely viable, we document the existing deck condition, the fastener schedule, and the underlayment layers so the inspector sees a compliant assembly.
Roof Deck Repair & Wind Mitigation Retrofits
This is the forensic work that separates a real roof replacement from a shingle job. In Iona’s post-Ian market, we regularly open up decks on homes off Gladiolus Drive and Whiskey Creek and find sheathing that was never nailed to the truss with the correct 6-inch on-center pattern at the perimeter. The wind mitigation inspector is going to check exactly that, and if it fails, you don’t get the premium credit. We fix the deck, re-nail the clips, document the connection, and then install the new roof. One pass, one permit, one inspection.
Flashing, Fascia, & Drip Edge Replacement
Salt air eats aluminum fascia and drip edge faster than any other component on an Iona roof. When the flashing at the eaves is corroded through, water gets behind the gutter, rots the rafter tails, and eventually gets into the wall system. We replace all perimeter flashing with PVD-coated or stainless materials when we do a roof, not just the sections that are visibly failing. It costs a few hundred dollars more and it’s what a roof replacement in a salt-spray microclimate should include as standard.

Trusted Brands We Service in Iona
For the roofing membrane and underlayment systems we specify in Iona, we work with brands that hold current Florida Product Approvals and Miami-Dade NOAs: PGT, CGI, and ViewLux among them. When the roof ties into window and door openings, those are the assemblies we trust, because they’ve been tested in the same wind speeds and salt-spray conditions your home sits in. We keep common flashing profiles and underlayment rolls stocked locally so Iona customers aren’t waiting on a shipment from a distributor in Tampa when a consultant has flagged the roof as the holding item on a 4-point inspection.
Common Roof Replacement & Installation Problems We See in Iona Homes
- Failed NOA approvals on older “impact-rated” roofs and windows: Many homes in Iona were retrofitted with impact products in the 1990s and early 2000s that no longer hold their Notice of Acceptance under current Lee County permitting. A roof replacement that leaves these grandfathered openings in place passes the county inspection today and fails the insurance review tomorrow. We flag them before you spend money on a roof.
- Salty, humid air corroding fasteners and flashing: Homes within a mile of the Caloosahatchee or the Gulf are on a faster corrosion clock than the rest of Lee County. We see roof nails rusted halfway through, drip edge that crumbles when you touch it, and gutter brackets that snap during teardown. Every roof we replace in Iona gets corrosion-resistant fasteners and marine-spec flashing as a baseline, not an upgrade.
- Decking that was never nailed to code: A roof installed before the 2002 Florida Building Code usually has a nail pattern that won’t pass today’s wind mitigation inspection. The inspector will check the nailing schedule, and if it’s 12-inch on center when the code called for 6-inch at the perimeter, the report fails and the insurance discount disappears. Fixing the deck before the new roof goes on is cheaper than doing it twice.
- Jalousie and single-pane aluminum windows left in place during a roof job: A new roof won’t satisfy your insurer if the openings below it are still pre-code. In Iona’s post-Ian market, insurers increasingly refuse to renew policies on a home with a new roof and original 1970s windows. We coordinate roof and opening replacements so you’re not caught in a cycle of partial compliance.
Pricing for Roof Replacement & Installation in Iona, FL
A standard asphalt shingle roof replacement on a single-story CBS home in Iona runs $12,000 to $20,000. A larger two-story home, a steep-pitch roof, or a home on a canal requiring reinforced decking and marine-grade fasteners will run $18,000 to $28,000. Tile roof replacement on the same footprint starts around $25,000 and can exceed $45,000 depending on tile type and deck condition. Flat roof sections over lanais and carports add $4,000 to $9,000 each. These are the numbers we see in Iona every month, not national averages.
What moves the price: the number of openings you have to flash and tie into, the condition of the existing deck, whether the trusses need additional clips for uplift, and the wind zone rating the permit office assigns to your specific address. A quote that doesn’t mention design pressure ratings, the fastener schedule, or the underlayment spec is a quote that leaves those costs out and hits you with a change order later. We write fixed quotes with every code-required component listed. No change orders. No surprises. Call (239) 323-5522 for a free in-home measure and a written quote.
What Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in Iona
Let’s put line items on it. For a 1,800-square-foot single-story CBS home off Iona Road, an asphalt shingle roof replacement with tear-off, new underlayment, new flashing, and code-compliant fastening runs about $14,000 to $19,000. That’s the realistic Iona number. If you’re adding a tile system, the same footprint runs $32,000 to $45,000, because barrel tile runs $8 to $14 per square foot just for the material, and the deck often needs structural reinforcement to handle the weight and the uplift. Whole-roof projects with flat sections, custom flashing around skylights, and roofline work at the fascia can push past $30,000 even on asphalt. A free in-home measure is the only honest way to price your specific roof, and that’s exactly what we offer. Call (239) 323-5522.
If you’re comparing bids, be careful of the Iona-specific gap between a “roof replacement” and a “compliant roof replacement.” The first quote may leave out the deck nailing retrofit, the wind mitigation inspection, the NOA documentation for the openings below the roof line, and the corrosion-resistant flashing the county will expect at inspection. That number will be $6,000 to $10,000 lower. Then the change orders start. We itemize everything up front, because a square deal means the price on the quote is the price on the bill.
Florida Pays You Back
Iona homeowners have access to a stack of incentives that can materially reduce the cost of a code-compliant roof and opening replacement. The My Safe Florida Home program provides matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, including roof-deck fastening and roof-to-wall connections. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit covers 30% of product cost up to $600 per year for qualifying energy-efficient units. And after a passing wind mitigation inspection, most Iona homeowners see their windstorm premium drop around 25% on average. Programs change, carriers set their own numbers, and nothing is guaranteed. What we guarantee is that we’ll document every code-required detail so you can apply for every credit that applies.
One comparison worth your time: impact-rated windows and a code-compliant roof work together as permanent protection. Hurricane shutters require you to hang panels as a storm approaches, and if you’re not home or not able, the protection isn’t in place. A roof and openings tested to the same wind speeds and fastened to the same code work whether you’re in Iona or not.

FAQs - Roof Replacement & Installation in Iona
Yes. Iona sits in Lee County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, which means the roofing assembly, including underlayment, flashing, and any mechanical fasteners, must carry current Florida Product Approvals and, for impact-rated openings tied to the roof system, a Miami-Dade NOA. Lee County permitting staff will check the NOA numbers against the current list, and products that were approved in 1998 but delisted since Ian will be rejected. Call (239) 323-5522 if you want us to check your existing paperwork before you commit to a roof.
Usually the contractor. In Iona’s post-Ian permitting environment, we regularly find that older impact windows from the 1990s and early 2000s no longer hold a current NOA approval, which means Lee County will not accept them as compliant replacements during a roof permit review. Your insurer may be looking at a policy from before Ian. The county is looking at current code. When the two conflict, the county wins, and the work has to be a full frame-out replacement rather than a sash swap. We show you the paperwork either way so you’re not guessing.
The inspector looks at four specific roof-to-wall connection points: whether the roof deck is nailed to the trusses on the correct schedule, whether the trusses are attached to the concrete block wall with any type of strap or clip, the shape of the roof (hip roofs pass more easily than gable roofs), and whether there’s a secondary water barrier under the roof covering. On Iona homes built before 2002, the roof-to-wall connection often has no positive metal attachment at all. That’s the single biggest fix we make before a roof replacement, and it’s the line item that unlocks the insurance discount. Call (239) 323-5522 for an exact quote on your home’s connection.
No. Jalousie windows, which are common in Iona’s 1960s and 1970s CBS homes, cannot be made impact-compliant by swapping the glass. The frame assembly itself is not rated for any design pressure, and there is no NOA-approved jalousie impact assembly on the market today. A 4-point inspection will flag the windows, and the only compliant fix is a full frame-out replacement with an impact-rated unit that carries a current Miami-Dade NOA. It’s a significant cost, but it’s the difference between a renewal and a cancellation in this market.
Most Iona homeowners see a meaningful reduction in the windstorm portion of their premium after a passing wind mitigation inspection, with average credits around 25% on that line item. The exact amount depends on your carrier, your roof shape, your roof-to-wall connection, and whether the entire opening package is documented as compliant. What we do is provide every piece of documentation the inspector needs, including the NOA numbers, the install photos, and the underlayment specs, so nothing is left to a desk adjuster’s guess. Call (239) 323-5522 and we’ll walk you through the inspection process.
