How do I know if I need a new roof?

A few signs to watch for: shingles that are curling, cracking, or missing; granules collecting in your gutters; daylight visible through the attic roof boards; or a roof that’s approaching 20+ years old. If you’re not sure, a free inspection is the easiest way to get a straight answer.

Do you offer free inspections and estimates?

Yes. Every inspection and estimate is free, with no obligation.

What areas do you serve?

We serve Lee, Collier, and Charlotte counties, including Cape Coral, Fort Myers, Naples, and Punta Gorda, along with the surrounding communities.

What services do you offer?

Roofing, windows, siding, gutters, and soffit & fascia — full replacements, repairs, and storm damage restoration.

How long does a roof replacement take?

Most residential roof replacements are completed in 1–3 days, depending on the size and complexity of the roof and weather conditions. We’ll walk you through a specific timeline during your estimate.

Do I need a permit for a roof replacement in Florida?

Yes, roof replacements in Florida require a permit. We handle the permitting process as part of every job.

Are you licensed?

Yes. SMA Exteriors of Florida holds Florida contractor licenses CRC1333787 and CCC1335086.

What roofing materials do you install?

Asphalt shingle, tile, and metal/standing seam roofing. We’re GAF Certified, TAMKO Certified, and a PGT Installer for windows.

Do you handle storm damage repairs?

Yes, we repair storm and lightning damage to roofs and other exterior components.

How much does a new roof cost?

Cost depends on your roof’s size, materials, and scope of work, so we don’t publish general pricing. A free, no-obligation estimate is the most accurate way to get a number specific to your home.

Do you offer financing?

Yes — ask about our current financing options when you schedule your estimate.

What’s the difference between a roof repair and a full replacement?

A repair addresses a specific, localized issue — a leak, damaged flashing, a section of missing shingles. A full replacement is appropriate when the roof as a whole has reached the end of its service life or has widespread damage. Our inspection will tell you which situation you’re in.

How often should I have my roof inspected?

Most homeowners benefit from an inspection every 1–2 years, and after any major storm.
