Local Roofing Specialist Captiva

Island Experts Who Actually Show Up

We’ve been protecting Captiva homes for over two decades. As a family-owned roofing contractor, we understand what Gulf Coast weather does to roofs. While other companies chase storms and disappear, we live here. We see the damage Hurricane Ian and Milton caused to our neighbors’ homes. That’s why we use 30-year architectural shingles with six-nail patterns specifically designed for high-wind areas. Our certified roof inspectors know exactly what to look for on Captiva Island. Salt air, hurricane winds, and intense sun create unique challenges that mainland contractors just don’t understand.

Complete Roofing Solutions for Island Living

Every service we provide is designed around Captiva’s specific challenges. Our roof installations use ridge and soffit vents to manage the intense attic heat that builds up in Florida’s climate. We work with asphalt shingles, metal roofing, and tile – whatever makes sense for your home and budget. But every material gets installed with the same attention to wind resistance and water protection. Emergency repairs happen fast here. When a storm damages your roof, we respond quickly with temporary protection while we arrange permanent solutions. Your family’s safety doesn’t wait for convenient scheduling.

Widespread shingle damage, persistent leaks, or a roof over 20 years old typically means replacement is your best option. Localized damage might only need repair. Look for water stains on your ceilings, missing or curled shingles, and granules collecting in your gutters. These are clear signs your roof needs professional attention. We’ll assess your specific situation and give you honest recommendations – no overselling, just straight answers about what makes sense for your home and budget.
Hurricane-ready roofs start with 130 mph-rated architectural shingles installed with six-nail patterns instead of the standard four. We also install drip edge protection around all roof edges to prevent wind-driven rain from getting under your shingles. Proper underlayment acts as a secondary water barrier, and correct flashing around vents, chimneys, and roof penetrations prevents the most common leak points. Ridge and soffit ventilation keeps your attic temperature controlled, which actually helps your roof handle severe weather better. These aren’t expensive upgrades – they’re essential for island living.
Most roof replacements in our area range from $7,000 to $15,000, depending on your home’s size, roof complexity, and material choices. We provide detailed written estimates that break down exactly what you’re paying for. The investment makes sense when you consider that a quality roof installation can last 30+ years and significantly increases your property value. We also work with your insurance company when storm damage is involved, helping you navigate the claims process. Every estimate includes our commitment to do the job right the first time.
Proper ventilation prevents heat and moisture buildup in your attic, which can damage your roof structure and dramatically increase your energy bills. Without adequate airflow, your attic can reach 150+ degrees in summer. We install ridge vents at the roof peak and soffit vents under the eaves to create natural airflow. This keeps your roof deck from overheating and prevents moisture that can lead to mold and rot. Good ventilation also helps your air conditioning work more efficiently, saving you money every month while extending your roof’s lifespan.
We prioritize emergency calls and typically respond within hours, not days. Our local presence means we can get to your property quickly to assess damage and provide temporary protection. For immediate threats like active leaks or missing shingles after a storm, we’ll secure your roof with tarps or temporary patches while we arrange permanent repairs. We understand that roof emergencies can’t wait, especially when weather is threatening. Our certified inspectors carry emergency repair materials and can often handle urgent issues on the spot.
Look for local contractors with established track records, proper licensing, and detailed references from recent projects. Ask about their experience with Florida’s building codes and hurricane requirements. A good contractor provides written estimates, explains their installation process, and offers warranties on both materials and workmanship. They should be willing to show you examples of their work and explain why they recommend specific materials for your situation. Most importantly, they should be available after the job is done – not just during sales season.
