Our office recently had the pleasure of serving the roof repair needs of a wonderful customer in Fort Myers Florida. The home, located within the Gateway Greens community had experienced roof damage as a result of Hurricane Irma and the homeowners contacted First Service in search of a quote. Upon arrival, we performed a roof inspection and determined that this home’s tile roof had experienced damage that warranted the need for a complete tile roof replacement. Once approved, our expert team removed the existing roofing structure and replaced with Boral’s Estate White Antique roofing tiles. Not only did this tile slightly change the aesthetic look of the home, but it also aided in providing peace of mind to our customers knowing that their home’s roof is finally repaired and protected from the harsh weather elements that Florida is known for. Once the roof was complete, our team installed a new gutter system on the home to properly deflect rain off of the homes new roof.

We love how this project turned out and and thankful for the opportunity to exceed our customer’s expectations!
