What Our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Service Includes
Roofing in Fort Myers isn’t a one-size-fits-all decision. The three major roof types we install and repair each have distinct strengths, and we’ll walk you through the tradeoffs honestly before a single shingle comes off the truck. Here’s what each system involves and what you can expect from our crew.
Asphalt Shingle Roofing
Asphalt shingles remain the most common roofing material in Fort Myers because they strike a workable balance between upfront cost and proven performance. Architectural shingles, the thicker laminated variety we install most often, typically last 20 to 25 years in Southwest Florida’s climate when properly ventilated and flashed. We replace damaged shingles, pull full tear-offs when the decking shows wear, and install complete new systems with ridge vents sized specifically for Florida attic conditions. If your shingle roof is showing granule loss in the gutters or curling at the edges, we’ll tell you whether it’s a repair or a replacement situation, and we’ll show you the evidence either way.
Tile Roofing
Concrete and clay tile roofs are a signature look in Fort Myers, especially in neighborhoods like McGregor Boulevard’s historic stretches and newer communities east of I-75. A properly installed tile roof can last 50 years or longer, but only if the underlayment beneath those tiles stays sound. We inspect and replace the waterproof underlayment, reset slipped or cracked tiles, and handle full tile roof replacements using materials matched to your existing profile. The weight of tile roofing means your truss system matters more than with shingle, and we’ll assess structural capacity before recommending tile on any home not originally designed for it.
Metal Roofing
Metal roofing has gained serious momentum in Fort Myers for good reason: standing seam and metal panel systems shrug off hurricane-force winds, shed rainwater fast, and reflect solar heat better than almost any other surface. Homeowners in Estero and Bonita Springs have been especially drawn to metal for its longevity, often 40 to 60 years in this climate. We install standing seam, exposed fastener metal panels, and metal shingle profiles, including proper underlayment and fastener patterns that meet current Florida wind codes. Metal can cost more up front than shingle, but when our estimator shows you the lifecycle math, many homeowners find it’s the better long-term play.

Brands We Service for Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing
Over the years, we’ve worked with roofing products from the same premium manufacturers that earned Winslow Windows & Doors its reputation on the window and door side. We’re an authorized PGT dealer, so when your reroof touches skylights, roof-to-wall flashings, or any opening that needs impact protection coordination, we’re already familiar with how PGT systems integrate. That’s a real advantage when you’re replacing both a roof and windows on the same elevation, which happens often in Fort Myers after storm seasons.
We also carry and install Mr-Glass products for specialty glazing adjacent to roofing work, and our familiarity with ViewLux means we can coordinate skylight and roof window details without subcontracting headaches. If your roof has a brand we haven’t named here, don’t hesitate to call. We service all major shingle, tile, and metal roofing systems in Lee County, including Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing - Cape Coral, and we’ll be straight with you about what your existing roof needs.
Signs You Need Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Right Now
- Granules in your gutters or downspouts. Asphalt shingles shed granules as they age, and a heavy accumulation in your Fort Myers gutters means the protective surface is failing. Once granules go, the asphalt beneath degrades quickly under Florida UV exposure, and leaks aren’t far behind.
- Slipped, cracked, or missing tiles. A single broken tile might seem cosmetic, but any gap in your tile roof exposes the underlayment to direct sun and rain. In a place that gets 55 inches of rain a year, that underlayment breaks down fast once tiles shift out of place.
- Water staining on ceilings or walls after heavy rain. Stains that appear after a downpour mean water is getting past your roof’s weatherproofing layer, even if you can’t see the entry point from the ground. Every day that water sits in your attic it’s working on your insulation, your drywall, and eventually your wiring.
- Rust or fastener failure on a metal roof. Metal roofs depend on fasteners and seam integrity to stay waterproof. If you see rust streaks, loose screws, or panels that make noise in the wind, the system needs attention before the next tropical system tests it.
- Daylight visible through the roof deck in your attic. Go up with a flashlight on a sunny day. If you can see pinpoints of light coming through the roof sheathing, that’s a direct water path. It’s also a sign your underlayment has already failed and the decking may need repair or replacement.
Our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Process - Step by Step
We’ve refined our roofing process over 15 years in Fort Myers to remove guesswork and keep you informed. Here’s what happens when you call Winslow Windows & Doors.
- 1
Free on-site inspection and honest assessment. Ed or a senior crew lead walks the roof, photographs every problem area, and gives you a straight recommendation. We’ll tell you if a repair makes sense or if replacement is the smarter money, and we’ll show you the evidence on the spot. No trip charge if you’re inside Lee County.
- 2
Upfront written estimate with line-item pricing. You get a detailed quote that breaks down materials, labor, underlayment, flashing, and disposal. That’s the number you pay, assuming we don’t discover hidden damage once the old roof comes off. And if we do find something, we’ll stop, show you photos, and get your sign-off before any change order.
- 3
Permit and code coordination. Fort Myers and Lee County require permits for roof replacements and many repairs. We pull the permits, schedule the inspections, and make sure the work meets or exceeds current Florida Building Code wind requirements. When the final inspection passes, you get the paperwork.
- 4
Installation with daily cleanup. Our crew arrives in uniform, background-checked, and ready to protect your landscaping and pool cage edges. We strip, dry in, and install in a sequence that minimizes the time your roof deck is exposed to afternoon thunderstorms. Every day ends with job site cleanup, not just at the finish.
- 5
Final walkthrough and 36500-Day Done Right Promise. Before we call the job complete, we walk the roof with you and answer any questions. Then the Done Right Promise kicks in: if something’s not right, we come back and make it right. That’s a century-long standard we put in writing because Ed’s name is on the door, and on every roof we install.
How Much Does Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Cost in Fort Myers?
Roofing costs in Fort Myers vary significantly by material and home size, but here are realistic ranges for the work we do most often. A full asphalt shingle replacement on a typical 1,800 to 2,500 square foot Fort Myers home generally runs $11,000 to $19,000, depending on tear-off disposal, decking repairs, and the shingle grade you choose. Tile roof replacements in this market run higher, usually $28,000 to $55,000, because of material weight, underlayment requirements, and more labor-intensive installation. Metal roofing falls between, with standing seam systems typically landing at $25,000 to $45,000 for the same home size.
What moves these numbers: roof slope and complexity, the condition of your existing decking, whether your home needs any structural reinforcement for current wind codes, and material pricing at the time you sign. The best way to avoid overpaying is to get a written estimate with line-item detail and a fixed price, then compare apples to apples. Our free estimates include everything: materials, labor, permits, and disposal, with no hidden fees and no change orders unless you approve them in writing. Call (239) 453-7751 to schedule yours. If you’ve already got a written estimate from another roofer, bring it in and we’ll give you a free second opinion.

Frequently Asked Questions - Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Fort Myers
Shingle, tile, and metal roofing are the three primary roof systems installed on Fort Myers homes, each with different materials, lifespans, and hurricane performance characteristics. Asphalt shingles use fiberglass mat covered in asphalt and granules; tile roofing uses concrete or clay tiles that interlock or overlap; and metal roofing uses steel or aluminum panels fastened to the roof deck. We install and repair all three types and will recommend the one that fits your home’s structure, your budget, and your long-term plans.
Most asphalt shingle replacements on a single-family Fort Myers home take 2 to 4 days from tear-off to final inspection, weather permitting. Tile and metal replacements typically run 5 to 10 days depending on roof complexity, material availability, and the condition of the decking underneath. We’ll give you a written timeline with your estimate, and we communicate daily while the crew is on your property so you’re never guessing.
A new asphalt shingle roof in Fort Myers typically costs $11,000 to $19,000 for an average single-family home, while tile runs $28,000 to $55,000 and metal runs $25,000 to $45,000. The biggest variables are roof size, pitch, decking condition, and the specific materials you choose.
