New Construction Roofing in Fort Myers, FL | Roofing Contractor & Installation
Trusted Fort Myers Roofing handles new construction roofing in Fort Myers, FL, for custom homes and new builds in places like Verandah and Babcock Ranch. We install architectural shingle, standing seam metal and concrete or clay tile roofs, working right alongside builders and homeowners from bare trusses to the final ridge cap.
The problem we see most on new homes is a roof that got rushed, with short nails, missing kickout flashing and underlayment laid in a hurry just to beat the rain. We dry in every deck with a sealed secondary water barrier, fasten the sheathing with 8d ring-shank nails on a tight nailing schedule, and use only Florida Product Approved materials rated for Lee County’s design wind speeds. Each stage is ready for the in-progress roof inspection, so the build stays on schedule and passes the first time.
Once the deck passes inspection, a shingle roof usually takes us two to four days, while tile and standing seam metal run about five to ten days. A new roof in Florida typically costs $10,000 to $24,000 for architectural shingle, $24,000 to $50,000 for concrete tile and $27,000 to $62,000 for standing seam metal, and we provide a free written estimate based on your plans.
Every new roof we install comes with our 5-year written workmanship warranty, on top of the manufacturer’s material warranty. We’ll go over the coverage with you before the first bundle goes up, so you know your new home is protected from day one.

New Construction Roofing Projects We've Completed in Fort Myers, FL
This new home had three front gables, a raised entry and a wide main hip, which gave it great curb appeal but plenty of rakes, valleys and transitions to get right in charcoal flat concrete tile. Trusted Fort Myers Roofing dried in the deck with a product-approved tile underlayment, then set every tile with approved foam adhesive following the Florida High Wind Concrete and Clay Tile Installation Manual. We finished the gables with clean rake tiles, sealed the hips and ridges with a vented ridge system, and flashed each valley in metal, giving the home a crisp, storm-ready tile roof that matches its Craftsman-style details.
Final Cost: $36,800
Turnaround Time: 7 days
This new home mixed a front gable, a raised entry tower and a wide hip roof over the garage, which meant a lot of tie-ins where water likes to sneak through if they’re rushed. We sealed the deck and rolled out peel-and-stick underlayment across the whole roof, then hand-fit step flashing and a small cricket where the entry tower meets the main roofline. Our crew finished with high-wind architectural shingles, a reinforced rake edge along the front gable and seamless gutters, leaving the homeowners with a roof that looks sharp and holds tight through storm season.
Final Cost: $15,200
Turnaround Time: 3 days
This new lakefront home sits wide open to the wind coming off the water, so the builder wanted a roof that could handle more than the usual afternoon storm. We dried in the deck the same day the sheathing passed inspection, sealing every seam and covering the whole roof with peel-and-stick underlayment before a single shingle went down. From there, our crew installed high-wind architectural shingles with a six-nail pattern, added ridge venting along the hips and finished with matching drip edge, giving the home a clean, storm-ready roof right on schedule.
Final Cost: $14,500
Turnaround Time: 3 days

New Construction Roofing Frequently Asked Questions
What warranty comes with a new construction roof?
Two layers of coverage. The manufacturer covers the materials, and matching components from one brand can qualify for an enhanced system warranty, while our 5-year written workmanship warranty covers the installation itself.
Is a hip roof really better than a gable roof for hurricanes?
Yes. Wind tunnel testing has found that peak wind pressures can be as much as 50% lower on a hip roof than on a gable roof. After Hurricane Harvey, IBHS also found that hip roofs were damaged less frequently, and many insurers offer discounts for homes with hip roofs.
Doesn’t every new home already have a sealed roof deck?
It should, but not always. A SageSure field study after Hurricane Ian found that most homes with shingle roofs, including new construction, didn’t appear to have a sealed roof or secondary water barrier. Trusted Fort Myers Roofing seals every deck we install, no exceptions.
What is a FORTIFIED Roof, and is it worth it?
It’s a stronger building standard from IBHS that covers the roofing, deck, underlayment, flashing and edge metal. Florida insurers provide discounts for homes built with storm-resistant materials and techniques, and a FORTIFIED evaluator documents and verifies the entire construction process to confirm the standard was met.
Can my HOA in Fort Myers stop me from choosing a metal roof?
Not if it meets the association’s hurricane specifications. Since 2024, Florida HOAs must adopt hurricane protection specifications and can’t deny an application that conforms to them, and that protection includes roof systems that meet ASCE 7-22 standards. The HOA can still require you to match the community’s color and style guidelines.
Should I plan for solar while the roof is going on?
Yes, if solar is in your future. Installing flashed mounting points while the underlayment and roofing go down is much cleaner than drilling through a finished roof later, and it keeps those penetrations fully waterproofed from day one.
