Common Roofing Problems

Is Your Shingle Roof Showing Signs of Damage?

Property owners with roofing systems 15 years or older often face similar challenges that require immediate attention. Asphalt shingles naturally deteriorate over time due to continuous exposure to UV radiation, temperature fluctuations, and weather events common to the Gulf Coast region. You might notice granules accumulating in your gutters, which indicates the protective coating on your shingles has begun to break down. This granule loss accelerates weathering and reduces your roof's ability to reflect heat, potentially increasing cooling costs.

Wind-related damage is particularly prevalent in coastal areas, where strong gusts can lift or tear away shingle tabs, creating entry points for water infiltration. Even minor leaks can lead to significant problems if left unaddressed. Moisture penetrating through damaged shingles can compromise roof decking, deteriorate insulation, promote mold growth within your attic space, and eventually cause interior ceiling damage or structural concerns.

Storm-resistant roofing becomes increasingly important as systems age, since older shingles lose flexibility and become brittle. Cracking, curling edges, and missing shingle sections are clear indicators that your roof's protective barrier has weakened. If you've noticed any of these warning signs around your home near landmarks like the Caloosahatchee River or throughout residential neighborhoods in Lee County, scheduling a professional inspection can prevent minor issues from escalating into major home protection failures.

Our commitment to quality workmanship and customer satisfaction has earned us hundreds of positive reviews from clients who trust us to protect their homes with reliable shingle roofing solutions.

      Our experience with Fort Myers Roofing was excellent. We were impressed with them beginning with our first interaction with Bobby (Sales). He was punctual, honest, and gave us options regarding various roofing materials. We opted for the metal 5V roof and are very very pleased with the product and the look - as he ensured we would be! The project started a few days ahead of schedule and was completed precisely when they said it would be. Ta'Riq, the supervisor on the job, was diligent and routinely updated us on progress throughout the installation. He narrated and shot multiple videos as he walked the roof and inspected the work of the crew. Ta' Riq's oversight and follow-up was impressive and appreciated. His entire crew was polite, efficient, and admittedly proud to work for Fort Myers Roofing. There are many roofing companies to choose from, but I can highly recommend Fort Myers Roofing - we were delighted with the work and what we felt was a very fair price.
      We recently had Fort Myers Roofing replace the roof on our home in south Naples, and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. From the start, they were on top of everything, providing me updates and photos at every stage so I knew exactly what was happening. There were a few unexpected repairs needed on the roof, during which Fort Myers Roofing provided constant communications, details and pictures before and after. Their crew very clean, in which we got complements from neighbors commenting on how clean the job site was. Highly recommend them.
      Fort Myers Roofing did an amazing job putting up our Christmas lights this year. Their team was prompt, professional and worked quickly to get the job done. Once they got started I decided I wanted more done than originally anticipated and they were happy to make it happen for me! I love the results and my kids are beyond thrilled with the Christmas spirit it provides! Thank you to an amazing team led by an amazing person Derric!
      Highly professional, detailed, thorough, and a pleasure to work with. Fort Myers Roofing staff, especially Karl Sheen and Nancy Thompson, made the job of replacing my entire roof easy and hassle free. They handled the insurance company expertly. The construction team was on time, they cleaned up afterwards, and the results are gorgeous! One small note: how many other roofing companies would start the job with a nice bottle of wine and a thank you note left on your doorstep?!
      Making those initial calls to a few roofing companies was somewhat scary. We had 4 appointments set and only 2 even showed up. One guy came and gave us a hand written quote without even getting up on the roof. Sean came on time, did a full inspection, and came back a couple days later to go over everything with us. Our roof was put on 3 week later and everything went according to plan! Sean was here in Naples for the installation and made sure everything was cleaned up when the crew was done. We are 100% happy and would recommend Fort Myers Roofing and Sean to anyone in need of a new roof!
      What a wonderful experience working with Fort Myers Roofing. Very professional, timely and a pleasure to work with. Always available to take calls. Would highly recommend them.
      I've heard all the Florida stories; needing a new roof immediately puts you into this nightmare of shifty contractors, unavailable products, long wait times, and broken promises, ugh. So I was prepared for the worst when Helene took some of our roof off. I did my due diligence; I checked with my city for licensed and approved contractors, I looked at google reviews, and I called the companies that made the tile and/or metal that I was considering putting on my roof to see who they recommended in my area. That's actually how I accidentally ended up finding Fort Myers Roofing-the tile company had sent me to a roofing company in Charlotte, NC instead of Charlotte County, FL. They were VERY confused when I called them, lol, but they strongly recommended Fort Myers Roofing, so I checked them out online and added them to my list of 3 companies to interview. Company #1 comes out and we get the hard-press-scare-you used car salesman sales tactics. This may work on the elderly, but it didn't sit well with us. Company #2 was solid but only sold aluminum metal roofs, which was our only option besides tile because we live on the ocean and if you look closely at the steel roof warranties they aren't so happy about coastal properties. Anyhoo, the aluminum roof was $25,000 more expensive than tile. For a 1700 sq ft house. Ouch. Company #3 was Fort Myers Roofing & Roofing. From the jump Bill was respectful, thoughtful, and asked a lot of good questions about what we wanted for a roof. He also went up on the roof and checked the existing damage from Helene. We told him we'd like three pricing options for tile, aluminum, and some fancy resin roofs out there that we were considering. His presentation was professional, quick, and balanced with the pro's and con's. One of the things we really liked was that their tile roofs are screwed on with stainless steel screws instead of nailed on with galvanized nails, which corrode and disintegrate in coastal areas in a few years. We also liked how detailed their price sheet was-we could see exactly how many stainless steel screws we were paying for. So we crossed our fingers and went with Fort Myers Roofing. Here's where the story really gets good-they consistently under-promised and over-performed. The tile I wanted was actually in stock, and instead of having to wait for months, it was on my roof within two weeks. The project manager, Ta' Riq, created a group text and consistently sent me live video updates FROM THE ROOF as they were working on it so when issues occurred I could make the decisions on what to do in real time rather than hearing about it later. Ta' Riq was also professional and consistent. We were prepared for what to expect with the tear off as Bill had gone over it with us very thoroughly. It was amazing how many people showed up, how fast they worked, and how nothing was damaged. The people working on the roof were also nice-when I was out walking our dog they'd wave to us from the roof lol. The materials that were promised in the contract were the materials that showed up on the roof. The underlayment of a tile roof is really what keeps your house dry, and I had done my homework about what kind I wanted (Owens Corning), and it was the same type Fort Myers Roofing recommended and installed. The teardown and dry-in was done in two days, and they hustled to get most of the roof on before we had a weird late season tropical storm. The next day they were back at it and had the roof done. All in all from signing the contract to the final approval from the city for a finished roof was about 2 weeks. That's freaking amazing. They were efficient, competent, and talented. My roof looks gorgeous. Our 27 year old house had its original roof on it and is surrounded by new, million dollar plus homes, and so we went from being "that house" to "look at THAT house so cute omg!" Again, I can't say enough good things about these folks and I'm still pinching myself that I have a beautiful roof and ZERO headaches about the entire process thanks to them.
      Bobby did an outstanding job helping me with my new tile roof. From start to finish, he was professional, knowledgeable, and made the whole process easy. He's hands down the best salesman I've dealt with-his communication was excellent and he kept me updated every step of the way. Couldn't be happier with the service and highly recommend asking for Bobby if you're looking at getting a roof!
      The company I work for hired Fort Myers Roofing and we had a great experience. Their team was professional, easy to work with, and made the whole process smooth from start to finish. We truly appreciate their reliability and would definitely recommend them.
      Let me start by saying I have never felt compelled to write a google review. Having said that I have worked with dozens of contractors over the years and my experience with the Fort Myers Roofing team and Bill Demersky was the best experience ever. I contacted them 3 years ago to repair a leak on my 20+ year old tile roof on Marco. They did a great job on the repair but I was most impressed that Bill drove 7 hours round trip to a tile boneyard to match tile on a repair that was a less that $3000. Had another leak in a different spot this fall and decided to replace the roof. Bill gave me all the options on materials, worked with my design firm and we decided to go with the Worthouse metal tile. It turned out great but what was most important was the way Fort Myers Roofing managed the job. We live in Ohio so doing a remote project is always a bit tricky. The communication from Fort Myers Roofing is exemplary. Status updates we on time and they do a great job over communicating the step by step process. When on site they sent me multiple video updates daily of every step as well as real time calls from the roof while working. Everyone who worked at our house was professional, friendly, and communicative. Bill is always available on his cell by call or text. By far the best contractor I have ever worked with. I'm sure they are not the cheapest but you get what you pay for.
      Fort Myers Roofing fixed another roofing company's shoddy work. Another roofing company had completed installing our roof from a hurricane claim. While it looked great but lasted 3 years before a preventable leak occurred. That other company took shortcuts. My front bedroom ceiling became wet. I called the original company who (after much encouragement) came out and said they fixed it. A few months later the leak was even worse. I had to again repair the ceiling and walls. I recently learned of Fort Myers Roofing. When I called them, they came out and diagnosed the problem. They were reasonable with the price and took the extra effort to truly fix the situation. They were transparent and showed me the exact problem. They covered my roof right then to prevent further water intrusion and completed the repair within 2 days. No more leak. I recommend them with confidence. Great staff and great work.
      I never leave reviews. Ever. But Fort Myers Roofing saved me. I have an older home and needed a new roof and new roof deck. The other company was cheap. They ended up leaving me with a real mess. Fort Myers Roofing came in and fixed everything. It looks brand new. The crew is exceptional. The customer experience was phenomenal. I will never hire anyone for any work other than Fort Myers Roofing.
      I was SO pleased dealing with Nancy Thompson at Fort Myers Roofing!! She made the project so easy to deal with. The workmanship was wonderful and everyone was courteous. My new roof is perfect. Thank you for the wonderful job!!!
      I had a huge leak in my roof and Fort Myers Roofing rushed out to patch the issue immediately, saving my home from what would have been tons of water damage. Afterwards I got quotes from numerous local companies for a new roof and Fort Myers Roofing had competitive pricing and their people were great to work with so I went forward with them. It's been a year now and I didn't want to give them a review right away because I wanted to make sure the roof was good before giving them my seal of approval. Now I must say it's rained many times since I got my new roof and not a drop of water has entered my home. The roof looks great also. Would definitely recommend getting a new roof from Fort Myers Roofing.
      I don't even know where to begin! From the very first phone call to the initial meeting and throughout the entire process, I can't say enough about how AMAZING Bobby Rodgers and the Fort Myers Roofing Team were. The communication was outstanding - from our project manager who was up on the roof sending videos of the progress, to being included in a text chain with Derrick (the owner) and all parties involved right from the start. It gave us peace of mind knowing that if there was ever a question or concern, we could reach anyone immediately. From the tear-off, to completion, to the final clean-up - everything was absolutely TOP NOTCH. Thank you, Bobby Rodgers and Fort Myers Roofing, for such a GREAT EXPERIENCE.
      Bobby and Fort Myers Roofing were great to work with. Bobby in particular took a personal interest in our roofing project from start to finish. Final result awesome!
      5 stars to Fort Myers Roofing! Everyone involved from sales with Bill Demersky, Nancy Thompson, the owner Sean Dunn, to the roofer and gutter installers, all were polite, professional and organized. Special shoutout for Tariq who project managed the roof installation and kept me informed with pictures and texts throughout the process. Cost was on par with 2 other estimates but with Fort Myers Roofing, I felt relaxed and trusted the job would be done on time and as contracted. Job well done by professionals! Thank you!
      It wasn't a big job or huge opportunity, but Fort Myers Roofing came right over to make repairs to my roof when I was in need. The technician was on-time, friendly, reassuring and jumped right on the repairs. He did a very thorough inspection. I was very happy how quickly Fort Myers Roofing took care of my roof repairs.
      Sales process was informative. Start of the project was timely. Staff personnel were very nice and helpful. Ta'Riq was a very good project supervisor. And, it looks great!
      Fort Myers Roofing is an amazing company that not only provides exceptional quality in their work, but gives back to the community, St. Jude's Research and so much more! So here is my story I have to share. I have been a police officer for over 30 years and I have recently retired. I spent my last 5 years of service as a School Resource Officer in SWFL. A few months ago I reached out to the owner of Fort Myers Roofing, Derric Stull, for a roof quote. I knew Derric and his family through the school that I was assigned to protect. My roof is over 20 years old and I needed to replace it. Without my knowledge, Derric, nominated me for a roof replacement program for First Responders with Owens Corning, who is also partnered with The Gary Sinise Foundation. I was selected as the first recipient for this newly launched program! My new roof was just completed and my family and I couldn't be happier! All of the Fort Myers Roofing family is amazing and I would highly recommend them. A special thanks to the installation crew, Derric Stull, Sean Dunn, Nancy Thompson and Bill Demersky. You were all very kind and always professional throughout the entire process. Fort Myers Roofing, are truly a blessing in my life!

      Shingle Roofing FAQs

      We understand that property owners have questions about shingle roofing projects, from material selection to maintenance expectations. Our team has compiled answers to the most frequently asked questions we receive from homeowners throughout Fort Myers and Lee County. These responses reflect our experience completing thousands of successful roofing installations and our commitment to helping you make informed decisions about your home's protection.

      Asphalt shingle roofing offers several benefits that make it particularly well-suited for properties in Southwest Florida. These systems provide excellent weather resistance against the intense sun, heavy rainfall, and strong winds common to coastal regions. Modern architectural shingles feature enhanced durability compared to older three-tab options, with improved wind ratings and longer expected lifespans. They're also available in a wide variety of colors and styles, allowing homeowners to achieve the aesthetic they want while staying within budget. The relatively straightforward installation process means projects can typically be completed efficiently, and most quality shingle products come with manufacturer warranties that provide additional peace of mind about your investment.
      Several factors indicate that a complete shingle roof replacement might be more appropriate than repairs. Age is one of the primary considerations, if your roof is approaching or has exceeded its expected lifespan, replacement often proves more economical than repeated repairs to a deteriorating system. Widespread damage across multiple areas of the roof, such as numerous missing or damaged shingles, extensive granule loss, or visible curling and cracking throughout, typically suggests the system has reached the end of its useful life. If you're experiencing recurring leaks in different locations, this often indicates underlying problems with the roof deck or underlayment that spot repairs cannot adequately address. Additionally, if you notice significant sagging or structural concerns, replacement becomes necessary for safety reasons. A professional inspection can assess your specific situation and provide an honest recommendation based on your roof's current condition and remaining service life.
      Regular maintenance plays a crucial role in maximizing the performance and longevity of your shingle roofing system. Schedule professional inspections at least annually, and particularly after major weather events, to identify and address minor issues before they develop into larger problems. Keep gutters and downspouts clear of debris to ensure proper water drainage away from your roof, since standing water can accelerate shingle deterioration. Trim back any overhanging tree branches that could scrape against shingles during windy conditions or drop debris that retains moisture on your roof surface. Watch for signs of moss or algae growth, which can trap moisture and damage shingle materials over time - professional cleaning can address these issues when they appear. Address any damaged or missing shingles promptly to maintain your roof's protective barrier. Finally, ensure your attic has adequate ventilation, as proper airflow helps regulate temperature and moisture levels that directly impact shingle lifespan from beneath.
      Modern shingle technology includes several energy-efficient options specifically designed to reduce heat absorption and lower cooling expenses in warm climates like Southwest Florida. Cool roof shingles feature special reflective granules that bounce solar radiation away from your home rather than absorbing it, which can significantly reduce attic temperatures and decrease the workload on your air conditioning system. These products are available in various colors, including darker shades that traditionally absorbed more heat, thanks to advanced reflective coatings. Some manufacturers offer shingles with enhanced ventilation designs that improve airflow beneath the roofing material, further contributing to temperature regulation. While energy-efficient shingles may carry a slightly higher initial investment compared to standard options, the reduction in cooling costs often results in meaningful savings over the roof's lifespan. Additionally, some of these products may qualify for energy efficiency rebates or tax credits, potentially offsetting the upfront difference while providing long-term benefits for both your comfort and your utility bills.
      Understanding the shingle roof replacement process helps you prepare for the project and know what to expect at each phase. Before work begins, your contractor should provide a clear timeline and discuss any preparations you might need to make, such as moving vehicles away from the work area or protecting items in your attic from vibration and dust. The project typically starts with removal of your existing roofing materials, during which you'll hear considerable noise as old shingles and underlayment are stripped away. The team will inspect your roof decking for any damaged areas that need replacement or reinforcement. After repairs are completed, they'll install new underlayment to create a waterproof barrier, followed by proper flashing around chimneys, vents, and other roof penetrations. The new shingles are then installed according to manufacturer specifications, with particular attention to proper fastening techniques that ensure wind resistance. Throughout the process, professional contractors protect your landscaping, maintain a clean worksite, and conduct daily cleanup to minimize disruption. Most residential shingle roof replacements can be completed within several days depending on roof size and complexity, with a final inspection to verify quality before the project is considered complete.
      Florida's building codes establish specific requirements for roofing installations designed to ensure structures can withstand the state's challenging weather conditions, particularly high winds from tropical storms and hurricanes. These regulations specify minimum wind resistance ratings for shingle products based on your property's location and proximity to the coast, with higher wind zones requiring more robust materials and installation methods. The codes also mandate proper fastening techniques, including the number and placement of nails used to secure each shingle, to prevent wind uplift during severe weather events. Underlayment requirements are similarly stringent, often requiring self-adhering waterproof barriers in critical areas to prevent water intrusion. Additionally, Florida codes address proper ventilation standards that help prevent moisture accumulation and heat buildup that can compromise roofing materials from beneath. Working with a licensed, experienced contractor who understands these local requirements ensures your shingle roof replacement not only meets all regulatory standards but also provides the level of storm protection necessary for long-term performance in Florida's demanding climate.
