Roofing in North Fort Myers, Florida

Who issues your permit in North Fort Myers

A re-roof in North Fort Myers is permitted through Lee County's Department of Community Development, at 1500 Monroe Street in Fort Myers.

North Fort Myers is unincorporated, which catches people out: there is no city building department to apply to. The permit and every inspection go through the county instead.

What the roofs are like here

A good deal of North Fort Myers was built before the current code, so a re-roof here often turns up something the old roof did not have — a different fastening pattern, or decking that needs replacing once the covering is off.

What we look at first in North Fort Myers

Being unincorporated changes the practical answer to who you call: it is the county, at 1500 Monroe Street in Fort Myers, through its online portal. On the roof, the age of the housing stock is what matters most. On an older house we expect to find at least some decking needing replacement once the covering comes off, so we would rather tell you how that is priced before we start than discover it with you halfway through.
