Common Roofing Challenges

Is Your Aging Roof Putting Your Property at Risk?

Properties with roofs over 15 years old frequently experience escalating problems that compromise structural integrity. Traditional roofing materials degrade under constant exposure to Florida's sun, humidity, and storm activity. You might notice missing shingles after high winds, water stains appearing on ceilings, or dramatically increasing cooling costs as your roof loses its protective capabilities. These warning signs indicate your roofing system can no longer provide adequate protection.

Continuing with a failing roof invites serious consequences. Water infiltration damages interior walls, insulation, and electrical systems while creating conditions for mold growth. Storm damage accelerates when weakened roofing materials cannot withstand wind uplift and flying debris. Energy costs climb steadily as compromised roofs allow conditioned air to escape while heat penetrates your living or working spaces.

Older roofing systems may also fail to meet current building codes or insurance requirements, potentially affecting coverage. The longer you postpone replacement, the more extensive and expensive repairs become as secondary damage spreads throughout your property's structure. Addressing these issues promptly with a complete metal roof installation protects your investment while restoring peace of mind.

      What Property Owners Say About Our Work

      Don't simply take our word for it. Property owners throughout Matlacha and Lee County consistently recommend Matlacha Metal Roofing for metal roofing installation. Our commitment to quality workmanship and customer satisfaction shows in every review, reflecting the care and professionalism we bring to each project we complete.

      Our experience with Matlacha Metal Roofing was excellent. We were impressed with them beginning with our first interaction with Bobby (Sales). He was punctual, honest, and gave us options regarding various roofing materials. We opted for the metal 5V roof and are very very pleased with the product and the look - as he ensured we would be! The project started a few days ahead of schedule and was completed precisely when they said it would be. Ta'Riq, the supervisor on the job, was diligent and routinely updated us on progress throughout the installation. He narrated and shot multiple videos as he walked the roof and inspected the work of the crew. Ta' Riq's oversight and follow-up was impressive and appreciated. His entire crew was polite, efficient, and admittedly proud to work for Matlacha Metal Roofing. There are many roofing companies to choose from, but I can highly recommend Matlacha Metal Roofing - we were delighted with the work and what we felt was a very fair price.
      We recently had Matlacha Metal Roofing replace the roof on our home in south Naples, and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. From the start, they were on top of everything, providing me updates and photos at every stage so I knew exactly what was happening. There were a few unexpected repairs needed on the roof, during which Matlacha Metal Roofing provided constant communications, details and pictures before and after. Their crew very clean, in which we got complements from neighbors commenting on how clean the job site was. Highly recommend them.
      Matlacha Metal Roofing did an amazing job putting up our Christmas lights this year. Their team was prompt, professional and worked quickly to get the job done. Once they got started I decided I wanted more done than originally anticipated and they were happy to make it happen for me! I love the results and my kids are beyond thrilled with the Christmas spirit it provides! Thank you to an amazing team led by an amazing person Derric!
      Highly professional, detailed, thorough, and a pleasure to work with. Matlacha Metal Roofing staff, especially Karl Sheen and Nancy Thompson, made the job of replacing my entire roof easy and hassle free. They handled the insurance company expertly. The construction team was on time, they cleaned up afterwards, and the results are gorgeous! One small note: how many other roofing companies would start the job with a nice bottle of wine and a thank you note left on your doorstep?!
      Making those initial calls to a few roofing companies was somewhat scary. We had 4 appointments set and only 2 even showed up. One guy came and gave us a hand written quote without even getting up on the roof. Sean came on time, did a full inspection, and came back a couple days later to go over everything with us. Our roof was put on 3 week later and everything went according to plan! Sean was here in Naples for the installation and made sure everything was cleaned up when the crew was done. We are 100% happy and would recommend Matlacha Metal Roofing and Sean to anyone in need of a new roof!
      What a wonderful experience working with Matlacha Metal Roofing. Very professional, timely and a pleasure to work with. Always available to take calls. Would highly recommend them.
      I've heard all the Florida stories; needing a new roof immediately puts you into this nightmare of shifty contractors, unavailable products, long wait times, and broken promises, ugh. So I was prepared for the worst when Helene took some of our roof off. I did my due diligence; I checked with my city for licensed and approved contractors, I looked at google reviews, and I called the companies that made the tile and/or metal that I was considering putting on my roof to see who they recommended in my area. That's actually how I accidentally ended up finding Matlacha Metal Roofing-the tile company had sent me to a roofing company in Charlotte, NC instead of Charlotte County, FL. They were VERY confused when I called them, lol, but they strongly recommended Matlacha Metal Roofing, so I checked them out online and added them to my list of 3 companies to interview. Company #1 comes out and we get the hard-press-scare-you used car salesman sales tactics. This may work on the elderly, but it didn't sit well with us. Company #2 was solid but only sold aluminum metal roofs, which was our only option besides tile because we live on the ocean and if you look closely at the steel roof warranties they aren't so happy about coastal properties. Anyhoo, the aluminum roof was $25,000 more expensive than tile. For a 1700 sq ft house. Ouch. Company #3 was Matlacha Metal Roofing & Roofing. From the jump Bill was respectful, thoughtful, and asked a lot of good questions about what we wanted for a roof. He also went up on the roof and checked the existing damage from Helene. We told him we'd like three pricing options for tile, aluminum, and some fancy resin roofs out there that we were considering. His presentation was professional, quick, and balanced with the pro's and con's. One of the things we really liked was that their tile roofs are screwed on with stainless steel screws instead of nailed on with galvanized nails, which corrode and disintegrate in coastal areas in a few years. We also liked how detailed their price sheet was-we could see exactly how many stainless steel screws we were paying for. So we crossed our fingers and went with Matlacha Metal Roofing. Here's where the story really gets good-they consistently under-promised and over-performed. The tile I wanted was actually in stock, and instead of having to wait for months, it was on my roof within two weeks. The project manager, Ta' Riq, created a group text and consistently sent me live video updates FROM THE ROOF as they were working on it so when issues occurred I could make the decisions on what to do in real time rather than hearing about it later. Ta' Riq was also professional and consistent. We were prepared for what to expect with the tear off as Bill had gone over it with us very thoroughly. It was amazing how many people showed up, how fast they worked, and how nothing was damaged. The people working on the roof were also nice-when I was out walking our dog they'd wave to us from the roof lol. The materials that were promised in the contract were the materials that showed up on the roof. The underlayment of a tile roof is really what keeps your house dry, and I had done my homework about what kind I wanted (Owens Corning), and it was the same type Matlacha Metal Roofing recommended and installed. The teardown and dry-in was done in two days, and they hustled to get most of the roof on before we had a weird late season tropical storm. The next day they were back at it and had the roof done. All in all from signing the contract to the final approval from the city for a finished roof was about 2 weeks. That's freaking amazing. They were efficient, competent, and talented. My roof looks gorgeous. Our 27 year old house had its original roof on it and is surrounded by new, million dollar plus homes, and so we went from being "that house" to "look at THAT house so cute omg!" Again, I can't say enough good things about these folks and I'm still pinching myself that I have a beautiful roof and ZERO headaches about the entire process thanks to them.
      Bobby did an outstanding job helping me with my new tile roof. From start to finish, he was professional, knowledgeable, and made the whole process easy. He's hands down the best salesman I've dealt with-his communication was excellent and he kept me updated every step of the way. Couldn't be happier with the service and highly recommend asking for Bobby if you're looking at getting a roof!
      The company I work for hired Matlacha Metal Roofing and we had a great experience. Their team was professional, easy to work with, and made the whole process smooth from start to finish. We truly appreciate their reliability and would definitely recommend them.
      Let me start by saying I have never felt compelled to write a google review. Having said that I have worked with dozens of contractors over the years and my experience with the Matlacha Metal Roofing team and Bill Demersky was the best experience ever. I contacted them 3 years ago to repair a leak on my 20+ year old tile roof on Marco. They did a great job on the repair but I was most impressed that Bill drove 7 hours round trip to a tile boneyard to match tile on a repair that was a less that $3000. Had another leak in a different spot this fall and decided to replace the roof. Bill gave me all the options on materials, worked with my design firm and we decided to go with the Worthouse metal tile. It turned out great but what was most important was the way Matlacha Metal Roofing managed the job. We live in Ohio so doing a remote project is always a bit tricky. The communication from Matlacha Metal Roofing is exemplary. Status updates we on time and they do a great job over communicating the step by step process. When on site they sent me multiple video updates daily of every step as well as real time calls from the roof while working. Everyone who worked at our house was professional, friendly, and communicative. Bill is always available on his cell by call or text. By far the best contractor I have ever worked with. I'm sure they are not the cheapest but you get what you pay for.
      Matlacha Metal Roofing fixed another roofing company's shoddy work. Another roofing company had completed installing our roof from a hurricane claim. While it looked great but lasted 3 years before a preventable leak occurred. That other company took shortcuts. My front bedroom ceiling became wet. I called the original company who (after much encouragement) came out and said they fixed it. A few months later the leak was even worse. I had to again repair the ceiling and walls. I recently learned of Matlacha Metal Roofing. When I called them, they came out and diagnosed the problem. They were reasonable with the price and took the extra effort to truly fix the situation. They were transparent and showed me the exact problem. They covered my roof right then to prevent further water intrusion and completed the repair within 2 days. No more leak. I recommend them with confidence. Great staff and great work.
      I never leave reviews. Ever. But Matlacha Metal Roofing saved me. I have an older home and needed a new roof and new roof deck. The other company was cheap. They ended up leaving me with a real mess. Matlacha Metal Roofing came in and fixed everything. It looks brand new. The crew is exceptional. The customer experience was phenomenal. I will never hire anyone for any work other than Matlacha Metal Roofing.
      I was SO pleased dealing with Nancy Thompson at Matlacha Metal Roofing!! She made the project so easy to deal with. The workmanship was wonderful and everyone was courteous. My new roof is perfect. Thank you for the wonderful job!!!
      I had a huge leak in my roof and Matlacha Metal Roofing rushed out to patch the issue immediately, saving my home from what would have been tons of water damage. Afterwards I got quotes from numerous local companies for a new roof and Matlacha Metal Roofing had competitive pricing and their people were great to work with so I went forward with them. It's been a year now and I didn't want to give them a review right away because I wanted to make sure the roof was good before giving them my seal of approval. Now I must say it's rained many times since I got my new roof and not a drop of water has entered my home. The roof looks great also. Would definitely recommend getting a new roof from Matlacha Metal Roofing.
      I don't even know where to begin! From the very first phone call to the initial meeting and throughout the entire process, I can't say enough about how AMAZING Bobby Rodgers and the Matlacha Metal Roofing Team were. The communication was outstanding - from our project manager who was up on the roof sending videos of the progress, to being included in a text chain with Derrick (the owner) and all parties involved right from the start. It gave us peace of mind knowing that if there was ever a question or concern, we could reach anyone immediately. From the tear-off, to completion, to the final clean-up - everything was absolutely TOP NOTCH. Thank you, Bobby Rodgers and Matlacha Metal Roofing, for such a GREAT EXPERIENCE.
      Bobby and Matlacha Metal Roofing were great to work with. Bobby in particular took a personal interest in our roofing project from start to finish. Final result awesome!
      5 stars to Matlacha Metal Roofing! Everyone involved from sales with Bill Demersky, Nancy Thompson, the owner Sean Dunn, to the roofer and gutter installers, all were polite, professional and organized. Special shoutout for Tariq who project managed the roof installation and kept me informed with pictures and texts throughout the process. Cost was on par with 2 other estimates but with Matlacha Metal Roofing, I felt relaxed and trusted the job would be done on time and as contracted. Job well done by professionals! Thank you!
      It wasn't a big job or huge opportunity, but Matlacha Metal Roofing came right over to make repairs to my roof when I was in need. The technician was on-time, friendly, reassuring and jumped right on the repairs. He did a very thorough inspection. I was very happy how quickly Matlacha Metal Roofing took care of my roof repairs.
      Sales process was informative. Start of the project was timely. Staff personnel were very nice and helpful. Ta'Riq was a very good project supervisor. And, it looks great!
      Matlacha Metal Roofing is an amazing company that not only provides exceptional quality in their work, but gives back to the community, St. Jude's Research and so much more! So here is my story I have to share. I have been a police officer for over 30 years and I have recently retired. I spent my last 5 years of service as a School Resource Officer in SWFL. A few months ago I reached out to the owner of Matlacha Metal Roofing, Derric Stull, for a roof quote. I knew Derric and his family through the school that I was assigned to protect. My roof is over 20 years old and I needed to replace it. Without my knowledge, Derric, nominated me for a roof replacement program for First Responders with Owens Corning, who is also partnered with The Gary Sinise Foundation. I was selected as the first recipient for this newly launched program! My new roof was just completed and my family and I couldn't be happier! All of the Matlacha Metal Roofing family is amazing and I would highly recommend them. A special thanks to the installation crew, Derric Stull, Sean Dunn, Nancy Thompson and Bill Demersky. You were all very kind and always professional throughout the entire process. Matlacha Metal Roofing, are truly a blessing in my life!

      Metal Roof Installation Frequently Asked Questions

      Property owners considering metal roofing naturally have questions about the installation process, performance expectations, and long-term value. Our team at Matlacha Metal Roofing believes in providing clear, straightforward answers that help you make informed decisions. Below you'll find responses to the most common questions we receive about metal roof installation throughout Matlacha and Lee County.

      Metal roofing systems deliver superior performance in Florida's challenging coastal environment through multiple advantages. Unlike traditional asphalt shingles that deteriorate rapidly under intense sun exposure and high humidity, metal roofs maintain their protective capabilities for decades. They provide exceptional wind resistance during tropical storms and hurricanes, with properly installed standing seam systems rated to withstand hurricane-force winds. Metal roofing also offers fire resistant properties that can lower insurance premiums while providing enhanced safety. The reflective surfaces reduce heat absorption, significantly lowering cooling costs throughout Florida's extended summer season. While the initial investment exceeds traditional materials, metal roofs typically last two to three times longer than shingles, eliminating the need for multiple replacements over your property's lifetime. These factors combine to make metal roofing an increasingly popular choice for property owners prioritizing long-term value, energy efficiency, and reliable storm protection.
      A professional metal roof installation begins with a comprehensive property assessment where we evaluate your existing roof structure, identify any necessary repairs to the deck or framing, and discuss your preferences for roofing style and finish. We then provide a detailed estimate covering all aspects of the project, including material specifications, labor, permits, and timeline expectations. Once you approve the proposal, we schedule your installation at a time convenient for your household or business operations. On installation day, our crew arrives with all necessary materials and equipment. We begin by carefully removing existing roofing materials if needed, inspecting and preparing the roof deck to ensure proper substrate conditions. We then install underlayment that provides additional weather protection before precisely placing each metal panel or shingle according to manufacturer specifications. Throughout installation, we protect your property with tarps and maintain a clean work area. After completing the roofing installation, we install trim, flashing, and any necessary ventilation components. We conduct a thorough cleanup, removing all debris, and perform a final walkthrough with you to ensure complete satisfaction before considering the project complete.
      Metal roofing provides significant energy savings in hot climates through several mechanisms that work together to improve thermal performance. The reflective properties of metal surfaces deflect a substantial portion of solar radiation rather than absorbing it like traditional dark shingles. This reflection reduces the amount of heat transferred into your building, meaning your air conditioning system works less frequently to maintain comfortable interior temperatures. Many metal roofing products feature special reflective coatings that enhance this effect even further, meeting Energy Star standards for cool roofing. Additionally, metal roofs can be installed with ventilated air spaces between the metal surface and roof deck, allowing heat to dissipate before it enters your living space. Property owners throughout Florida consistently report noticeable reductions in cooling costs after upgrading to metal roofing, with some experiencing savings that help offset the installation investment over time. The energy efficiency benefits extend beyond summer cooling as well, since metal roofs with proper insulation also help retain warmth during cooler winter months, providing year-round thermal performance improvements.
      One of the most compelling advantages of metal roofing is exceptional longevity that far exceeds traditional roofing materials. When professionally installed and properly maintained, metal roofing systems typically provide reliable protection for decades. Steel and aluminum roofing commonly lasts between forty to seventy years, depending on the specific product, coating system, and environmental exposure. Standing seam metal roofing, which features concealed fasteners that eliminate potential leak points, often performs at the higher end of this range. In contrast, traditional asphalt shingles in Florida's harsh climate typically require replacement after fifteen to twenty years, meaning you might need three or four shingle roof replacements during the service life of a single metal roof. The durability of metal roofing stems from its resistance to common failure modes that affect other materials. Metal doesn't crack, split, or curl like shingles, isn't vulnerable to impact damage from hail or debris, and won't support mold or algae growth. Proper installation is essential to achieving maximum lifespan, which is why selecting experienced installers who follow manufacturer specifications makes such a significant difference in long-term performance and value.
      Metal roofing systems require minimal maintenance compared to traditional roofing materials, though some periodic attention helps ensure optimal performance throughout their service life. Annual inspections allow you to identify and address minor issues before they develop into larger problems. During these inspections, check for any loose fasteners, examine sealants around penetrations like vents and chimneys, and ensure flashing remains properly positioned. Clear debris such as leaves and branches that accumulate in valleys or behind roof projections, as trapped organic material can retain moisture. In coastal environments like Lee County, occasionally rinse your roof with fresh water to remove salt accumulation that can accelerate corrosion over time. Trim overhanging tree branches that scrape against the roof surface or drop debris. If your metal roof features a painted finish, inspect for any scratches or chips that expose bare metal and touch up these areas promptly to prevent rust development. After severe storms, conduct a visual inspection for any damage or displaced components. Most metal roofing warranties include specific maintenance recommendations, and following these guidelines helps preserve your warranty coverage. With these straightforward maintenance practices, your metal roof will continue providing reliable protection with minimal intervention throughout its extended service life.
      Whether to install metal roofing over existing materials or remove them first depends on several factors specific to your property and local building codes. In some situations, metal roofing can be installed over a single layer of existing shingles, which reduces project costs and installation time while minimizing debris. However, this approach is only appropriate when the existing roof deck is in good structural condition, the current roof is relatively flat without significant irregularities, and local building codes permit overlay installations. Most roofing professionals, including our team, typically recommend complete removal of existing materials before metal roof installation. This approach allows thorough inspection of the roof deck, identification and repair of any structural issues, water damage, or rot that might be hidden beneath the old roofing. Starting with a clean deck ensures your new metal roof has a proper foundation for maximum performance and longevity. Building codes in many Florida jurisdictions limit the number of roofing layers permitted, and adding metal over existing materials might exceed these limits or create issues with future replacements. Additionally, removing old roofing eliminates the added weight on your structure and prevents trapped moisture between layers that could cause problems over time. During your consultation, we'll assess your specific situation and recommend the approach that best serves your property's long-term interests while complying with all applicable building codes and manufacturer installation requirements.
