Project Information:

This North Fort Myers homeowner had a damaged tile roof in need of replacement after Hurricane Irma and had a signed contract with another company.  This contractor took the homeowners money, started the work but left the roof unfinished after the dry in stage during Florida’s rainy season. As if that was not frustrating enough, the homeowner had to wait weeks longer to get approval from the insurance company to move forward with a new contractor to finish the job. That company was First Service! New dry in and tile install was completed along with replacement of fascia, soffit and gutters.

We were recently contacted by a homeowner with an old shingle roof in Fort Myers, Florida in need of repair. As the home’s asphault roof was over 20 years old, it was time the home received a complete roof replacement. In an effort to make it last for one more year, the homeowners had coated the roof, themselves, with a silicone.  In addition to replacing the shingle roof, First Service was also hired to replace the gutters, fascia and soffit as well as paint the exterior of the home. Repairs were commenced in February 2019 and completed by March 2019.  These repairs brightened the home and gave it the face lift it needed to look like new again.
