Roofing Contractor in Lee County, FL
SCM Roofing serves Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Bonita Springs, Estero, Sanibel Island, Captiva, and Fort Myers Beach. New roofs, repairs, storm damage restoration, and inspections across Lee County.
Lee County's roofing landscape changed permanently on September 28, 2022, when Hurricane Ian made landfall as a Category 4 storm near Cayo Costa. The barrier islands — Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel, and Captiva — took a direct hit. Thousands of roofs across Cape Coral, Fort Myers, and the surrounding mainland were damaged or destroyed.
Three-plus years later, most of the rebuild is complete, but the work isn't over. Many homeowners who did emergency repairs or temporary fixes after Ian still need permanent restoration. Others have roofs that survived the storm but were weakened by it — damage that isn't visible from the ground but shows up during an inspection as compromised underlayment, loosened flashings, or shifted tiles.
We've been working in Lee County through the entire post-Ian recovery and before. We know which neighborhoods flooded, which ones took the worst wind damage, and which homes got patched quickly and still need proper permanent repair. If your roof was touched by Ian — whether you know it or not — an inspection is worth the call.
Communities We Serve in Lee County
Cape Coral
Cape Coral is the largest city in Lee County by population and one of the fastest-growing cities in Florida. With over 400 miles of canals and roughly 200,000 residents, the roofing volume here is enormous.
The housing stock is predominantly concrete block construction from the 1980s through today, with shingle roofs making up the majority. Many of the homes built in the 1990s and early 2000s are now due for their first re-roof. The canal-front homes deal with higher humidity and occasional salt exposure (depending on how close they are to the river or Gulf access points), which accelerates wear on flashings and pipe boots.
Cape Coral took significant damage from Hurricane Ian — primarily wind damage to shingles and some tile, plus flooding in the southern and western sections near the Caloosahatchee. We're still doing permanent repairs on homes that were temporarily patched in the months after the storm.
Common needs: Shingle re-roof (aging 20-25 year roofs), Hurricane Ian permanent repair, Canal-front moisture issues, Roof inspections for insurance renewal
Fort Myers
Fort Myers is the county seat and has the most diverse housing stock in Lee County — everything from historic homes in the Edison-Ford district and Dean Park to new construction south of Colonial Boulevard and along Daniels Parkway. Commercial properties along US-41, Cleveland Avenue, and Colonial are a major segment too.
The older Fort Myers neighborhoods have a mix of shingle and tile roofs, many original or on their second roof. The newer developments south and east of the city are primarily shingle. Fort Myers also has a significant rental and investment property market, which means we work with a lot of landlords and property managers who need reliable roofing at a reasonable cost.
Hurricane Ian's wind field hit Fort Myers hard. The areas closest to the river and in the southern part of the city saw both wind and water damage. We've completed hundreds of Ian-related repairs and replacements across Fort Myers.
Common needs: Full re-roofs on aging homes, Commercial flat roof maintenance, Rental property roofing, Ongoing Hurricane Ian restoration, Tile underlayment replacement in older neighborhoods
Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel Island & Captiva
These barrier islands took the worst of Hurricane Ian. Fort Myers Beach was devastated — entire blocks of homes and businesses were destroyed. Sanibel's causeway was damaged, cutting off access for weeks. Captiva saw similar destruction.
The rebuild has been massive and ongoing. Many properties have been fully rebuilt with new roofing systems designed to current high-wind code — standing seam metal and concrete tile are the most common choices for new construction on the islands because of their wind ratings and durability in the salt environment.
For properties that survived but sustained damage, the roofing needs range from tile replacement and flashing repair to full re-roofs where Ian compromised the structure. The salt air on these islands is aggressive — every metal component (flashings, fasteners, drip edge, pipe boots) needs to be marine-grade or stainless steel. Standard galvanized doesn't last here.
If you own property on the islands and haven't had a professional roof inspection since Ian, do it now. Damage that was missed during the initial emergency response is still causing slow leaks and hidden deterioration on homes that appear fine from outside.
Common needs: Hurricane Ian rebuild and restoration, Marine-grade roofing components, Standing seam metal and tile installation, Post-Ian inspection for hidden damage, Seasonal property management
Bonita Springs & Estero
Bonita Springs and Estero sit at the southern end of Lee County, bordering Collier County. The housing here is a mix of gated communities (Bonita Bay, Pelican Landing, Coconut Point area), standalone residential, and commercial along US-41.
The roofing profile is similar to Naples — predominantly tile in the gated communities with HOA architectural requirements, and a growing share of standing seam metal on newer and higher-end homes. The gated communities often dictate tile profile, color, and sometimes the manufacturer, so we work within those specs.
Bonita Springs and Estero saw less devastation from Ian than the areas further north and on the islands, but wind damage was still widespread — missing shingles, cracked tiles, and damaged ridge mortar across hundreds of homes. Many of these repairs are done, but some homeowners are still dealing with insurance claims or deferred work.
Common needs: Tile roof maintenance and underlayment replacement, HOA-compliant installations, Metal roofing on newer homes, Wind damage from Hurricane Ian, Commercial roofing along US-41

Lee County's insurance market has been chaotic since Ian. Carriers have dropped policies, raised premiums, and tightened requirements.
