Roof Replacement in Fort Myers, FL | Blue Dog Roofing & Construction

The roofer down the street, with a white-glove standard.

Blue Dog is based in Fort Myers — 2562 Dora Street, a few minutes from downtown. That matters on a roof. When the inspector wants to look at the deck at 0800, we are there at 0745. When a summer cell rolls in off the river at two in the afternoon, the crew that is loading your tile is the crew that knows exactly what to do, because they have done it on this street before. Every stage of your roof is photographed — tear-off, deck, dry-in, load, finish — and it goes to you the day it happens, whether you are in the driveway or in Ohio. The day you sign, you get the owner's cell — not a project manager, not a call center — and he is your contact until the final inspection passes. Tile, metal, shingle: we install all three and we are as serious about one as the other. The underlayment we use is rated for six months of sun exposure; our standard is under five days with the deck open. We sequence the tear-off, the dry-in and the loading so your house is never sitting there waiting on somebody. The site is cleaned as we go, during the day, not at the end of it — and we inspect the roof nine times before we call it done.

Tear-off, deck, dry-in, load, finish — every stage photographed and sent to you the day it happens. Drone shots from above and close-ups from the roof. You do not have to be in the state, and you do not have to ask.

Fort Myers has a quirk: an address can say Fort Myers and still be in unincorporated Lee County. McGregor south of the city line, Whiskey Creek, Cypress Lake and Iona pull their permits from the county, not the city. We know which desk your street belongs to, and the permit, the Notice of Commencement, the product approvals and the inspections are ours to carry.

Tile, metal, shingle

All three, to the same standard. On tile we match what is already on your house — profile and color — so the new roof looks like it was always there. Standing seam where the river and the Gulf call for it. Architectural shingle where it belongs. We tell you what your house needs, not what we would rather sell.

Documentation is the whole game with a carrier, and after Ian a lot of Fort Myers learned that the hard way. Every job is photographed start to finish and every finding is written down, which is why our estimates hold up when somebody else has to read them.

If the association owns the roof, we work for the association.

Two different jobs get called "HOA work." One is a homeowner inside a community, and we handle that paperwork for them. The other is the association itself — the condo buildings along the river, the villas off McGregor, the carports and clubhouses where the roofs are the association's responsibility and the board has to answer for them. That is a different kind of job and we run it differently.

Built around a board

Multiple buildings phased so residents keep parking, access and quiet hours. Scope and schedule in writing before anything starts. Certificates of insurance, permits and the Notice of Commencement handled, and one point of contact who is the owner of the company, not a coordinator.

Reporting your manager can forward

A live link with photographs of every building as the work happens. When a resident calls or the board asks where things stand, your manager opens the link and answers — no drive-out, no chasing a superintendent. We will shape the reporting to whatever format your association actually uses.

I thank my neighbors for sharing Blue Dog with me after Hurricane Ian. The project was managed exceedingly well. Tear off was done quickly and neatly. Tiles were delivered immediately after to the roof, not stacked in my driveway for weeks. The roofing crew started right away and was communicative and respectful of the property. They would answer any questions. They cleaned up every day. Loved working with Alex and Joshua. A project like this can be stressful and they do everything they can to make it go smoothly. I honestly can't recommend them enough.

From start to finish Blue Dog roofing has been an incredible company. Their communication and customer service is like no other. My insurance company had gone bankrupt and I needed a new roof for full coverage in three weeks. Blue Dog Roofing and their team made this happen still while exceeding expectations. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for any roofing needs.

I was very pleased with the work done to my roof after the hurricane. Very professional and very responsive. They took before and after pictures of my attic and roof and I received updates during the process. Alex checked back in with me later on to make sure everything was to my liking and to go over any concerns I may have. It's really hard to find good people who care and they take pride in what they do. I would refer them to anyone I know. Thank you!

Blue dog is a highly qualified contractor who I hired as my roofing contractor. His performance and management was as expected excellent. Now retired as a builder in NY and worked with many contractors I put Blue Dog on the top of my list as a preferred vender

Blue Dog is the best! I'm so glad I chose them. They were on time, on task and not one nail in my driveway! If you want a great company, these are your guys!

I have used Alex for years and he has always been courteous, reliable, and his people do excellent work, in a timely fashion. I am a Broker-Associate Realtor and know how important it is to use a pro who knows what is necessary to the needs of consumers, both buyers and sellers.

Fort Myers roofing questions.

Is my house in the City of Fort Myers or in Lee County — and does it matter?

It matters for the permit and it is easy to get wrong. Downtown, Edison Park and most of the older McGregor corridor are in the city; farther south toward Iona, Whiskey Creek, Cypress Lake and Gulf Harbour are unincorporated Lee County. Different office, different inspectors, different scheduling. We pull the permit at the right desk, and you never have to figure out which one that is.

What paperwork do I actually have to deal with?

Your signature, and that is the end of your involvement. HOA submittals, the permit application, the Notice of Commencement, product approvals, inspection scheduling — we prepare all of it and carry it through. You're not allowed to work.

My house is on the river. Can I put a metal roof on it?

Yes — with the right metal. Standard galvanized or Galvalume steel loses its warranty within about 1,500 feet of the coast because salt eats the coating. On the Caloosahatchee and the back bays that setback usually is not an issue, but on Fort Myers Beach or anything facing the Gulf we use aluminum or a steel engineered and warrantied for salt exposure. We will tell you honestly which one your house needs.

I'm not in Florida right now. Can the work still happen?

It happens all the time. Every step is photographed and sent to you, so you can watch the roof go on from wherever you are. Several of the reviews above were written by owners who were out of state the whole time.

How long does a new roof take?

Most Fort Myers replacements run one to three weeks on the roof once material lands — metal often faster than tile — plus the permit and material lead time before that. The deck itself is open for less than five days by our standard. We give you the real timeline in the written estimate, not the optimistic one.
