In Southwest Florida’s climate, roof problems don’t wait for a convenient time. A small leak discovered today can become major water damage tomorrow. Wind-damaged shingles spotted after a storm can lead to widespread problems during the next heavy rain. That missing tile you’ve been meaning to fix? It’s allowing water to reach places water should never go.
At San Carlos Roofing, we understand that roof problems create stress and anxiety. You’re worried about water damage, mold, your ceiling, your belongings, and how much it’s all going to cost. We get it, and we’re here to help.
We’ve been repairing roofs throughout Southwest Florida since 2004. We’ve seen every type of roof problem our region’s weather can create, and we know how to fix them quickly, properly, and affordably. More importantly, we know how to give you honest answers about whether repair is your best option or if other solutions should be considered.
Some roofing companies try to turn every repair call into a replacement sale. That’s not how we operate. If your roof can be repaired, we’ll repair it properly and charge you fairly. If replacement is truly the better option, we’ll explain why and let you make an informed decision. No pressure, no games, just honest service from a local, family-owned company that cares about its reputation.
When you have a roof problem, time matters. Contact San Carlos Roofing, and we’ll respond quickly to protect your home and give you peace of mind.
Fast Response:
When you have a roof leak or damage, every hour matters. We respond quickly to repair calls and can often provide same-day service for emergencies. We know you’re stressed and worried, and we make it a priority to help as soon as possible.
Honest Assessments:
We’ll never try to sell you a roof replacement if a repair will solve your problem. We inspect your roof thoroughly, identify all issues, and give you honest recommendations. Sometimes a simple repair is all you need. Other times, we might find that multiple problems make replacement the smarter long-term choice. Either way, we’ll explain the situation clearly and let you make an informed decision.
Done Right the First Time:
Quick patches might stop a leak temporarily, but proper repairs fix the underlying problem so it doesn’t come back. We take the time to do repairs correctly, using quality materials and proven techniques. Our goal is to solve your problem permanently, not create a temporary fix that fails in six months.
All Roof Types:
We repair tile, metal, and shingle roofs. Each type requires different skills and techniques, and we have experience with all of them. We also keep a wide variety of materials in stock so we can match your existing roof and complete repairs quickly.
Fair, Transparent Pricing:
We provide clear, upfront pricing for repair work. You’ll know what it’s going to cost before we start. No surprises, no hidden fees. We charge fairly for quality work, and we stand behind every repair we complete.
Licensed and Insured:
We hold Florida contractor license #CCC1330248 and maintain full insurance coverage. This protects you and gives you confidence you’re working with legitimate professionals, not unlicensed handymen who might disappear after taking your money.
30+ Years of Local Experience:
We’ve been repairing roofs in Southwest Florida since 2004. We understand the unique challenges our climate creates, from hurricane damage to the effects of intense UV exposure and salt air. That experience helps us diagnose problems accurately and fix them effectively.
Insurance Claim Assistance:
If your roof was damaged by a storm and you’re filing an insurance claim, we can help. We’ll document the damage, provide detailed estimates, and work with your insurance adjuster to ensure repairs are properly covered.
Contact Us:
Call us or fill out our online form to describe your roof problem. If it’s an emergency, let us know, and we’ll prioritize your call. We’ll ask a few questions to understand the situation and schedule a time to inspect your roof.
Thorough Inspection:
We come to your property and perform a complete roof inspection. We don’t just look at the obvious problem area. We inspect your entire roof to identify all issues and determine the best repair approach. We’ll also go into your attic if needed to assess any interior damage and trace leaks to their source.
Clear Explanation and Estimate:
After the inspection, we’ll explain exactly what we found and what needs to be done to fix it. We’ll provide a clear, written estimate for the repair work. If we find other problems beyond what you initially called about, we’ll discuss those as well and help you prioritize what should be addressed.
Your Decision:
You decide whether to proceed with the repairs. There’s no pressure from us. If you want to think about it or get other estimates, that’s perfectly fine. If you’re ready to move forward, we’ll schedule the repair work at a time that’s convenient for you.
Quality Repair Work:
Our experienced technicians arrive with the right materials and equipment to complete your repair properly. We work efficiently while maintaining high quality standards. For simple repairs, we can often complete the work the same day. More extensive repairs might take longer, but we’ll give you a realistic timeline.
Cleanup and Final Inspection:
When the repair is complete, we clean up thoroughly and perform a final inspection to ensure everything is done correctly. We’ll show you the completed work and answer any questions you have.
Follow-Up:
We stand behind our repair work. If you have any concerns after we’ve completed your repair, contact us, and we’ll make it right. That’s our commitment to you.
This is one of the most common questions we hear, and it’s an important one. The honest answer is: it depends on several factors.
When Repair Makes Sense:
Repairs are usually the right choice when the damage is localized and your roof is in otherwise good condition. If you have a few damaged shingles, a leaky pipe boot, some broken tiles, or other isolated problems, repair is almost always the most cost-effective solution.
Repairs also make sense if your roof is relatively new and has plenty of life left. There’s no reason to replace a 10-year-old roof in good condition just because a few shingles blew off in a storm.
When Replacement Might Be Better:
Replacement becomes the smarter choice when you’re facing multiple problems throughout your roof, when repair costs are approaching a significant percentage of replacement cost, or when your roof is old and nearing the end of its expected lifespan anyway.
If we’re constantly patching different areas and problems keep popping up, that’s a sign your roof is systemically failing. In those cases, continuing to pour money into repairs is like putting band-aids on a bigger problem. Replacement gives you a fresh start and eliminates the stress of ongoing issues.
We’ll Give You Honest Advice:
Here’s our promise: we’ll inspect your roof thoroughly and give you our honest opinion about whether repair or replacement is in your best interest. If repair makes sense, we’ll recommend repair. If replacement is the smarter choice, we’ll explain why.
We’ve been in business for over 20 years because we treat our customers fairly and build long-term relationships. We’re not interested in making a quick buck by selling you something you don’t need. We’re interested in solving your problem in the most appropriate, cost-effective way.
Ultimately, the decision is yours. We’ll give you all the information you need to make a confident choice.
Southwest Florida weather is tough on roofs. Here are the most common problems we fix for homeowners throughout the region:
Problem 1 – Roof Leaks:
Roof leaks are the most common reason homeowners call us, and for good reason. Even a small leak can cause significant damage if not addressed quickly. Water stains on your ceiling, damp spots in your attic, or drips during rainstorms all indicate your roof is compromised.
Leaks can have many causes. Damaged or missing shingles, cracked tiles, failed flashing around chimneys or vents, worn pipe boots, or deteriorated valley areas can all allow water infiltration. The key is identifying the actual source of the leak, which isn’t always where you see the water inside. Water can travel along rafters before dripping onto your ceiling, making the source difficult to pinpoint without experience.
We’ve been finding and fixing roof leaks for over 20 years. We know where to look, how to trace water to its source, and how to repair it properly so it doesn’t come back. If you have a leak, don’t wait. Contact us immediately to prevent further damage.
Problem 2 – Storm Damage:
Southwest Florida’s hurricane season and severe thunderstorms can wreak havoc on roofs. High winds lift shingles, blow off tiles, drive debris into your roof, and cause damage that may not be obvious from the ground.
After any significant storm, it’s smart to have your roof inspected. Some storm damage is immediately visible, like missing shingles or broken tiles. Other damage, like lifted shingles that are still in place or compromised flashing, may not show up until the next heavy rain when water starts coming in.
We repair all types of storm damage, from replacing a few wind-damaged shingles to more extensive repairs. We also work with insurance companies and can help document damage for your claim. If you’ve been through a storm and have concerns about your roof, we’ll perform a thorough inspection and give you an honest assessment.
Problem 3 – Missing or Damaged Shingles:
Individual shingles can be damaged or blown off by wind, degraded by age and UV exposure, or broken by falling branches. Even a few missing shingles can allow water infiltration that leads to bigger problems.
Replacing damaged shingles is usually a straightforward repair, but it needs to be done properly. The new shingles should match your existing roof as closely as possible, and they must be installed correctly to maintain your roof’s integrity and appearance. We keep a wide variety of shingles in stock and can usually match your existing roof well.
Problem 4 – Broken or Slipped Tiles:
Tile roofs are durable, but individual tiles can break from impact, deteriorate over time, or slip out of position. Broken or missing tiles expose your underlayment to UV damage and allow water infiltration.
Tile repair requires care and expertise. Walking on tile roofs without proper technique can break more tiles. We know how to work safely on tile roofs and have the experience to replace individual tiles without causing additional damage. We also have access to a wide variety of tile styles and can usually find matches for even older, discontinued tiles.
Problem 5 – Flashing Failures:
Flashing is the metal material that seals transitions and penetrations in your roof, including around chimneys, skylights, vents, and valleys. When flashing fails or pulls away from where it should be sealed, water can get behind it and into your home.
Flashing problems are a common source of leaks and require skilled repair. We properly remove old, failed flashing and install new flashing using techniques that create lasting, watertight seals. This isn’t a DIY job, and it’s not a place to cut corners. Properly installed flashing is crucial to your roof’s performance.
Problem 6 – Pipe Boot Deterioration:
Pipe boots are the rubber or plastic seals around plumbing vents that penetrate your roof. In Florida’s intense heat and UV exposure, these seals deteriorate over time and crack. When they fail, water pours straight into your attic during every rainstorm.
Replacing pipe boots is a relatively simple repair, but it makes a huge difference. If you have water stains near a plumbing vent, there’s a good chance the pipe boot is the culprit. We can replace failed pipe boots quickly and affordably.
Problem 7 – Valley Problems:
Roof valleys (where two roof planes meet) are high-stress areas that channel large amounts of water. Valley problems, including deteriorated valley metal, failed valley shingles, or improper valley installation, can lead to significant leaks.
Valley repairs require experience because these areas are critical to your roof’s water management. We properly repair or replace valley components to ensure water flows off your roof as designed.
Problem 8 – Fascia and Soffit Damage:
While not technically part of your roof surface, fascia and soffit boards are important to your roof system. When they’re damaged by water, wood rot, or pests, they need to be repaired or replaced to maintain your roof’s integrity and appearance.
We repair or replace damaged fascia and soffit as part of our comprehensive roofing services. This is particularly important if water has been getting behind your gutters or if you’re seeing signs of wood rot.
Problem 9 – Attic Ventilation Issues:
Inadequate attic ventilation causes heat and moisture buildup that can shorten your roof’s lifespan and lead to other problems. While not a repair in the traditional sense, improving ventilation is often necessary to prevent future damage.
We can assess your attic ventilation and install additional vents if needed to protect your roof and improve your home’s energy efficiency.

The right roofing material for your Southwest Florida home depends on several factors, including your home’s style, your budget, and your long-term goals. San Carlos Roofing specializes in three proven roofing systems:
Tile roofing is a classic choice for Southwest Florida homes, offering exceptional durability, energy efficiency, and timeless beauty. Concrete and clay tiles can last 50 years or more with proper maintenance, and their thermal properties help keep your home cooler in our hot climate. Tile roofs also offer excellent wind resistance, a critical factor during hurricane season. We install both flat and barrel tile systems in a wide range of colors and profiles to complement your home’s architecture.
Architectural shingles remain the most popular roofing choice for good reason. They offer an excellent balance of performance, aesthetics, and value. Today’s premium shingles are far superior to the three-tab shingles of the past, with better wind resistance, longer lifespans, and more attractive dimensional profiles. Quality architectural shingles can last 25-30 years in Florida’s climate and come in dozens of colors to match any home style. They’re also the most economical option for most homeowners.
Metal roofing has become increasingly popular in Florida, and for good reason. Modern metal roofs offer outstanding durability, exceptional wind resistance (crucial for hurricane protection), and impressive energy efficiency. They’re also lightweight, environmentally friendly, and available in styles that mimic traditional shingles or create bold contemporary looks. Metal roofs typically last 40-70 years and require minimal maintenance. If longevity and performance are your priorities, metal deserves serious consideration.
Not sure which material is right for your home? We’re happy to discuss the advantages of each and help you make an informed decision. Every roof we install receives the same attention to detail and expert craftsmanship, regardless of the material you choose.
Roof emergencies don’t happen on a convenient schedule. Storms hit at night. Leaks start during heavy afternoon rain. Damage appears on weekends.
When you have a roofing emergency, San Carlos Roofing is here to help. We understand that water coming into your home is stressful and that immediate action is needed to prevent further damage.
What Constitutes a Roofing Emergency?
Active leaks with water entering your home, significant storm damage that has left your roof vulnerable, large sections of missing shingles or tiles, or fallen trees or branches that have damaged your roof all qualify as emergencies that need immediate attention.
Our Emergency Response:
When you call with a roofing emergency, we respond as quickly as possible. For serious situations, we can often provide same-day service. Our goal is to stop water infiltration and protect your home from further damage, even if a permanent repair needs to wait for better weather or daylight.
Temporary Protection:
In true emergencies, we may need to provide temporary protection like tarping until conditions allow for permanent repairs. We keep emergency materials on hand and can secure your roof quickly to minimize damage.
Don’t Hesitate to Call:
If you’re experiencing a roofing emergency, don’t wait. Call San Carlos Roofing immediately. Even if it’s after hours or on a weekend, we’ll do everything we can to help you as quickly as possible.
Roof repair costs vary widely depending on the nature and extent of the damage. A simple repair like replacing a few shingles or a pipe boot might cost a few hundred dollars. More extensive repairs involving multiple areas, structural damage, or complex flashing work will cost more.
We provide upfront pricing so you know what to expect before we start work. For straightforward repairs, we can often give you a price during our initial inspection. For more complex issues, we’ll provide a detailed written estimate.
We charge fairly for quality work done right. We’re not the cheapest option if you’re just looking for the lowest price, and we’re honest about that. We use quality materials, employ experienced technicians, and stand behind our work. That has value, and our prices reflect it. But we’re also not overpriced. We’re competitive with other reputable roofing companies in Southwest Florida.
Payment Options:
We accept various payment methods for your convenience. For smaller repair jobs, payment is typically due upon completion. For larger repair projects, we can discuss payment terms.
Insurance Claims:
If your repair is covered by insurance, we can work with your insurance company. We’ll provide documentation and estimates to support your claim. Keep in mind that you’re ultimately responsible for paying any deductible and any work not covered by your policy.
For emergency situations, we can often provide same-day service. For non-emergency repairs, we typically schedule within a few days of your call. The actual repair work might take a few hours or a full day depending on what needs to be done.
We do our best to match materials and blend repairs with your existing roof. For shingle repairs, we keep a wide variety of shingles in stock to find the closest match. For tile repairs, we source replacement tiles that match as closely as possible. Some repairs will be somewhat visible, but we always strive to maintain your roof's appearance.
We can't safely work on roofs during active rainfall. For emergency situations with active leaks, we can sometimes provide temporary protection like tarping until weather allows for proper repairs. We'll work with you to address the situation as quickly as conditions permit.
It depends on your roof's age, overall condition, and the extent of problems. We'll give you honest advice based on what we find during our inspection. If repair makes sense, we'll recommend repair. If replacement is the better long-term choice, we'll explain why.
Yes. We'll inspect your roof and provide a free estimate for the repair work needed. The only exception would be for very remote locations where a trip charge might apply, but we'll let you know upfront if that's the case.
When done properly with quality materials, most repairs last many years. However, if your roof is old and nearing the end of its lifespan, even a well-done repair is temporary because the surrounding materials are also aging. We'll be honest about how long you can expect repairs to last based on your roof's overall condition.
Yes. We stand behind our repair work. If a problem develops with our repair, contact us, and we'll make it right. The specific warranty terms depend on the type of repair performed.
Yes. We've worked with many insurance companies and can provide documentation to support your claim. We'll take photos, provide detailed estimates, and can speak with your adjuster if needed.
