Our team recently had the pleasure of serving a wonderful customer’s roofing needs in Bonita Springs, Florida. We were recently contacted to conduct a roof inspection on a beautiful beachfront home. Due to the age of the roof, the homeowner elected to have our team replace the existing shingle roof structure. Once contracted, we went to work removing the existing roofing shingles and underlayment. The decking beneath was inspected and re-nailed to local hurricane mitigation codes. Peel and stick underlayment was then applied to the entire roof, and the appropriate drip edge flashing, vents, and galvalume valley metals were installed.

Our office was recently contacted to inspect a metal roof on a home in Marco Island, Florida. Once inspected it was apparent where the issues were present and what needed to be done to resolve the homeowner’s concerns with their significant roof leak. We began by removing the existing metal roofing panels vertically from the eave up to the ridge, thus exposing the existing dry in underlayment. New peel and stick HT metal underlayment polygas (TU MAX) was applied throughout the entire area. With the roof’s plywood appearing structurally sounds and non requiring replacement, we re-installed the existing metal panels with new 5V wood grip neoprene screws, and resealed any transitions and workable flashing in the repaired area.
By thoroughly inspecting this homeowner’s roof and identifying the source of their leaking roof, we were able to efficiently and affordably repair the home’s roofing structure. Our customer can rest easy knowing that their roof is sound and will protect their home for years to come. We’re blessed to provide the residents of Southwest Florida with an exemplary roofing experience, and are grateful for the opportunity to serve this wonderful customer.
Our office recently had the pleasure of transforming a wonderful homeowner’s residence in Fort Myers Florida. We were initially contacted to inspect the home’s aged roof, which was found to have normal wear and tear for its age. After speaking with the homeowners, they had sought to modify the look of the home as well with a completely new color scheme.
Once contracted our teams went to work on the home’s roof. We removed the existing tile and underlayment, and disposed of it in accordance with our local code regulations. The roof’s decking was inspected with any deteriorated or damaged material replaced accordingly. Once complete, the decking was re-nailed to meet hurricane mitigation code, and the appropriate tile underlayment was applied to the entire roofs surface. New 26 GA pre-painted drip edge flashing was applied to the entire perimeter of the roof, new 26 GA galvalume valley metal was installed in all valleys, as well as the appropriate vents and closure metal with lead flashing installed around all plumbing stacks. New tile was then installed to the entire roof per manufacturer specifications, which also carries a 5 year workmanship warranty on the tile application, along with the manufacturer’s product warranty. Following the completion of the roofing structure, our team installed new 6″ aluminum seamless gutters with the appropriate downspouts, and splashguards.
As the homeowners wanted to transform the exterior aesthetic of their home, we used Sherwin Williams paint products to paint this beautiful home in their Essential Grey color along with Polished Concrete for the trim. You can view photos of this beautiful transformation below. We would also like to thank the homeowners for trusting our company with their roofing and painting needs.

Our roofing division was recently contracted to replace a shingle roof on a beautiful home in Lithia Florida. The home’s current roofing structure served the homeowners well, but having experienced years of Florida’s harsh weather, tropical storms, and hurricanes, came a need for a replacement due to normal wear and tear on the roof. Once approved, our roofing team went to work removing the existing roof covering and underlayment. We re-nailed the decking to local hurricane mitigation code using magnum zinc coil nails, and installed Tamko’s moisture guard underlayment to the entire roof surface. The appropriate 26GA pre-painted drip edge flashing was installed onto the entire roof perimeter along with new 26GA galvalume valley metal in all valleys (a closed valley detail was used), along with 26GA galvalume kitchen and dryer vents, and lead flashing around all of the plumbing stacks.

Our office was recently contacted by a homeowner in Cape Coral Florida to inspect their roof due to a leak allowing water into the home. Upon inspection, we determined the home’s roof to have several leaks along with damage from Hurricane Irma. We presented the homeowner with their options and were ultimately hired to complete a full shingle roof replacement on the home.
Once contracted our roofing division went to work removing the existing shingle roof layers, underlayment, and fasteners. Once removed, we were able to inspect the condition of the existing decking, flashing, and fascia board.

Our customer chose the Shakewood colorway and it accented the home’s exterior beautifully. While this roofing system from GAF can help increase the value of a home, its most impressive attribute is a stellar wind rating of up to 130mph. Pair that with one of the most comprehensive roofing material warranties in the business and a 2 year workmanship warranty from First Service, and you have a roof you can depend on for several years to come! Needless to say this project was completed in a timely fashion and exceeded the expectations of our customer.

At First Service, we take pride in exceeding the expectations of our customers. We recently had the opportunity to completely transform the exterior of a customers home in Estero Florida. Our team started by replacing the existing roofing structure on this home. After the existing roof was removed and properly prepared for the new roofing materials, we installed Boral’s Espresso Blend roofing tile. When our roof construction was complete, our team also formed and installed new 6″ aluminum seamless gutters to the first story of the home. This ensured that water would be properly diverted from the home.
Once concluded, our painting division paid this residence a visit. Using Sherwin Williams paint products, we repainted the exterior of this home per our customer’s color choices. The end result was stunning and we’re blessed that our company was chosen to help transform this home from top to bottom!
Our roofing division recently worked with this homeowner to replace their residence’s existing tile roof. Once approved of and contracted, we went to work removing the existing tile and roof underlayment. Once removed and inspected, our team replaced any damaged/deteriorated decking and re-nailed to meet the proper hurricane mitigation code. New tile underlayment followed along with the appropriate edge flashing, valley metals, eave closure metal, and vents. The customer selected a beautiful tile from Boral’s Barcelona 900 series, in their Chestnut Brown colorway. Once we installed their new roofing tile, the difference was night and day. The new tile accented the home beautifully, however, the homeowner also elected our team to repaint the entire exterior of the residence which will further beautify their home.
Once the roof install was complete, we went to work installing new white 6″ aluminum seamless gutters on the first story at the front of the home to properly route water off of their new roof. Stay tuned for future updates of this home once our painting team concludes their exterior repaint!
