Roofing in North Fort Myers, from Hancock Bridge to Bayshore
Repairs, storm damage and replacements for the site-built homes, the riverfront and the manufactured-home communities of North Fort Myers — all unincorporated Lee County, all permitted through the county.
North Fort Myers sits directly across the Caloosahatchee from Cape Coral — over the Cape Coral Bridge or the Hancock Bridge and you're there. It's unincorporated Lee County, which means every roofing permit goes through Lee County Community Development rather than a city. The housing is a mix you don't see in the Cape: 1960s and '70s block ranches off Hancock Bridge Parkway and Pondella, riverfront homes along North River Road and Bayshore, newer subdivisions like Moody River and Herons Glen up US-41, and dozens of manufactured-home and 55-plus communities — Lazy Days, Pine Lakes, Forest Park, Tamiami Village, Suncoast Estates — that need a different kind of roofing than a block house does.
Manufactured homes get metal roof-overs (insulated aluminum or steel systems over the existing roof) or single-ply membranes, engineered for the structure and permitted with Lee County under the manufactured-housing rules. Site-built homes get the same tile, metal and shingle work we do in the Cape, with the same code items. Ian put water through a lot of North Fort Myers along the river; the roofs that took wind were mostly older shingle and the manufactured homes without proper roof-overs.

Manufactured and mobile home roofs
A manufactured home's roof can't take the weight of tile or a full tear-off in most cases, and the code treats it differently. The right answer is usually a roof-over: an insulated aluminum or coated-steel panel system installed over the existing roof, engineered for the home's structure, that adds insulation, stops the leaks at the seams and lasts decades. On flat-roof units, a single-ply membrane recover. Both are permitted with Lee County and inspected, and both come with a wind mitigation report the park's insurer and yours will want. We've done a lot of them in the communities off 41 and Bayshore.
Questions from North Fort Myers homeowners
Do you work on mobile and manufactured homes?
Yes — roof-overs and membrane recovers, engineered for the unit and permitted with Lee County. It's a large share of what we do in North Fort Myers.
Who issues the permit in North Fort Myers?
Lee County — all of North Fort Myers is unincorporated. The county requires a state-licensed roofing contractor to pull it, and we do.
How much is a roof-over on a manufactured home?
Typically $8,000–$18,000 for an insulated metal roof-over on a double-wide, depending on size and the panel system. A membrane recover on a flat-roof single-wide runs $4,000–$9,000.
Do you handle 55-plus community rules?
Yes. Most parks require a licensed contractor, proof of insurance and a permit copy before work starts; some have color rules. We provide all of it.
Can you come out to Bayshore or Slater Road?
Anywhere in North Fort Myers, out to the Charlotte County line at Burnt Store Road and east along Bayshore.
Do you do emergency tarps in North Fort Myers?
Any hour, and after a storm in the order calls come in.
