Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is North Fort Myers’s Preferred Roofing Company
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and we’ve spent the years since doing exactly one thing: putting our name on work we’d be proud to show our own neighbors. That’s not a slogan. Our crews have rebuilt roofs across Del Tura, Tamiami Village, and the manufactured home communities that line the Caloosahatchee River corridor. We know what a 1978 concrete-block home in 33903 needs differently than a 1985 mobile home in 33917, because we’ve done both. When Hurricane Ian tore through North Fort Myers in September 2022, the calls we took weren’t from people shopping around. They were from people whose roofs were gone, whose carports had folded, whose ceilings were on the living room floor. We showed up. We’ve been showing up since.
Every roof we install in North Fort Myers includes a written scope, a written allowance schedule, and a written change order before any price changes. If the decking is rotted or the trusses need reinforcement, you’ll see it in writing before we touch it. And every completed roof carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, Tom comes back and makes it right, one call. We also answer our own phone, 24 hours a day. Not a call center. A live person.
Our Roofing Services in North Fort Myers
Our Roofing team handles everything from a one-day shingle repair to a full standing seam metal replacement on a manufactured home that needs structural upgrades. Here’s what we do most often in North Fort Myers.
Roof Repair
Roof repair in North Fort Myers usually means one of two things: a leak around a vent, skylight, or swamp-cooler curb that’s been nagging for a season, or storm damage from wind-driven rain that found its way under a shingle line. Repairs here typically run $400 to $1,800 depending on the decking and underlayment condition. We show up, find the actual point of entry, and fix the roof, not just the stain on your ceiling.
Roof Replacement & Installation
Full roof replacement in North Fort Myers runs $8,000 to $20,000 for a typical shingle roof on a single-family home. If your home sits in a post-Ian AE or VE flood zone, you may also need an elevation certificate and a secondary membrane before the shingles go on. We coordinate that paperwork with Lee County, so the permit doesn’t stall at the counter while you’re wondering what happened.
Metal Roofing
Standing seam metal roofing in North Fort Myers costs $15,000 to $40,000 depending on the roof footprint and whether the existing framing can handle the switch. Many manufactured home communities here were originally built for lightweight metal or shingle roofs. When a homeowner wants standing seam, we often have to reinforce framing and reroute ducting first. We’ll tell you that on estimate day, not after we’ve torn the old roof off.
Tile Roofing
Tile roofing holds up well against Florida sun, but barrel tile and flat tile systems are heavier than shingles and put real load on the trusses. In North Fort Myers, that matters because much of the older stock was never framed for tile. We check the truss ratings before we quote, and we’ll tell you honestly if your home is a better candidate for metal or architectural shingles. Tile roof repair runs $600 to $2,500 for typical storm or impact damage.

Trusted Brands We Service in North Fort Myers
We install GAF shingle systems on most residential replacement roofs in North Fort Myers, and we stand behind them with the manufacturer’s warranty plus our own workmanship guarantee. For metal roofs, we use standing seam systems from manufacturers we’ve worked with for years, not whatever roll-off is cheapest that month. Because we stock common flashing, underlayment, and vent components locally, we can typically start repairs on a North Fort Myers roof within a few days of your call.
Common Roofing Problems We See in North Fort Myers Homes
- Post-Ian paper problems: Homes that lost their pre-FIRM grandfathered status after the storm need elevation certificates and often a secondary water barrier before any roof work passes inspection. Out-of-area roofers skip this, the job gets red-tagged, and the homeowner is stuck with a torn-off roof and a stop-work order.
- Truss ratings ignored: Impact-resistant shingles and tile are heavy. If the original trusses on a 1970s concrete-block home or a 1980s mobile home weren’t rated for added uplift loads in a flood zone, a heavier roof can stress the framing.
- Flat roof leaks on additions: Many 1970s mobile home additions in North Fort Myers have flat or low-slope roofs that trap water against curbs and seams. After one good king tide season, they leak at the same spot every time.
- Wind-driven rain intrusion: Most shingle failures here aren’t from the shingles themselves. They’re from poorly sealed pipe boots, old flashing around skylights, or drip edge that pulled loose in a storm and let water run behind the gutter line.

FAQs - Roofing in North Fort Myers
Yes, in many cases. If your property was substantially damaged by Ian and lost its pre-FIRM grandfathered status, Lee County will require an elevation certificate and possibly an engineered foundation or secondary water barrier before a roofing permit can be approved. This applies to a significant share of North Fort Myers homes, especially in the 33903 and 33917 ZIP codes near the river. We coordinate the elevation certificate and the permit paperwork with the county so you’re not chasing documents on your own. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll check your parcel’s status.
For a 1980s manufactured home near the river, standing seam metal is usually the best long-term choice, provided we reinforce the framing first. Many mobile homes of that era were framed for lightweight shingles or metal, not for heavy tile. We’ll inspect the truss spacing and load ratings, then quote the framing work and the roof in the same written estimate. We’ve done this across North Fort Myers’s manufactured home communities, including Del Tura and the parks along US-41.
You can, but in North Fort Myers’s post-Ian flood zones, you’d be taking on the elevation certificate, the permit coordination, the truss inspection, and the liability yourself. We’ve seen homeowners get halfway through a roof tear-off and stall at inspection because a sub never pulled the right paperwork. A licensed general contractor carries the permit, coordinates the elevation documentation, and answers to the inspector. That’s exactly what we do, and it’s why the permit inspector is your friend, not your enemy.
Look for three things: shingles that lift at the edges along the ridge line, water stains on ceiling corners near pipe boots or skylights, and any sag in the roof deck when you look at it from the street. If the decking is soft or the trusses show signs of moisture, you’re likely looking at replacement, not repair. We’ll do a free roof inspection in 33917 and give you a written recommendation. If repair will get you another few years, we’ll say so. We’re not in the business of selling roofs people don’t need.
They can be, because the older housing stock in North Fort Myers often lacks the truss ratings that Cape Coral’s newer construction already has. Repairing tile on a roof that was never properly framed for tile can mean additional structural work before the tile goes back on. That’s $600 to $2,500 for a straightforward tile repair, but the number goes up if we have to open the decking. We’ll tell you the real number before we start. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote.
If your roof needs work in North Fort Myers, call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate. Tom Barrett and his sons will show up, walk the roof with you, and put everything in writing before a single nail moves.
