Metal, tile or shingle — replaced on a canal lot by a company that has been putting roofs back on this harbor since long before Ian. You sign once. You're not allowed to work.
Punta Gorda took Charley on the chin in 2004 and got tested again by Ian in 2022, and it shows in how people here think about roofs: they want it done right, they want to see it, and they want the person who promised it to answer the phone. That is our whole business. 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 on the lanai in PGI or back in Indiana. 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. Metal, tile, 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.
After Charley, Punta Gorda rebuilt in metal, and for good reason. Standing seam is the roof most of our Punta Gorda clients choose — it holds up, carriers like it, and it looks right on a canal. We form the panels on site, to the length of your roof, so there is no seam running down the slope. We handle the whole conversion from shingle or tile and we explain the metal we are putting on and why.
Seawall, dock, lift, pool cage, pavers — a PGI lot has a lot to protect and not much room to stage. We plan the tear-off and the loading around your lot, tarp the cage and the water side, and run magnets before we leave every day.
All three, to the same standard. On tile we match what is already on your house — profile and color. Standing seam where the harbor calls 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 nobody knows that better than Charlotte County. 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.
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 harbor and Marion Avenue, the villas in Burnt Store Marina and Seminole Lakes, 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.
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.
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.

City of Punta Gorda permits for the Isles and Burnt Store Isles, Charlotte County permits for everything outside the city line, harbor wind exposure and deed-restriction paperwork are routine for us.

Alex with Blue dog Roofing is incredible! We have partnered with him multiple times for projects and he has always done an amazing job. Our clients have been very pleased with his work and we are too! He is very responsible, a hard-worker, friendly and takes a lot of pride in his work. We recommend Alex for all our roofing needs and will continue to do it for many more years!
Alex and his crew helped me out with two situations. In both instances he responded quickly and had his crew scheduled to work in short order. They got things done in a very timely way on both occasions and fully guaranteed their work. I highly recommend Alex and his company Blue Dog Roofing & Construction for professionalism, timeliness and commitment to quality.

Can't speak enough of the craftsmanship and professionalism with which Alex always conducts his business. Excellent work. Highly recommend for all your roofing needs!
They are wonderful, I cannot say enough good stuff for them. They did it right the first time and prices were reasonable and they were very polite.
Depends on the address, and we know. Punta Gorda Isles, Burnt Store Isles and the historic district are inside the City of Punta Gorda. Deep Creek, Harbour Heights, Charlotte Harbor and Burnt Store Marina are unincorporated Charlotte County. Different office, different inspectors. Either way the permit, the Notice of Commencement, the product approvals and the inspections are ours. You sign once and we take it from there.
Very. The code that came out of 2004 is the one we build to: self-adhered underlayment as a secondary water barrier over the whole deck, current fastening schedules on the deck and the covering, and product approvals for the wind zone your house sits in. Ian was the test, and roofs built this way are the ones that came through it.
On most PGI and Burnt Store canals, yes. The salt setback that voids a steel warranty is about 1,500 feet from open coast, and the canals are brackish, not the Gulf. Out toward the harbor mouth or Boca Grande we switch to aluminum or a steel engineered for salt exposure. We will tell you honestly which one your house needs.
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 on this site were written by owners who were out of state the whole time.
Most Punta Gorda replacements run one to two 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.
We measure your roof from satellite the same day you ask, and a written estimate with photographs lands in your inbox within 48 hours. If we need to get on the roof, we tell you why first.
