Commercial roofing in Cape Coral is mostly two things: low-slope roofs on the retail and industrial buildings along Del Prado, Pine Island Road, Santa Barbara and Cape Coral Parkway, and pitched tile or shingle roofs on the hundreds of condo, villa and townhome buildings run by associations. Both got hammered in Ian, and both now face the same insurance pressure homeowners do — carriers asking for roof age, condition reports and wind mitigation before they'll renew.
For flat roofs we install and repair TPO and modified bitumen, with tapered insulation to end ponding and proper edge metal. For associations we do tile, metal and shingle replacements building by building on a schedule that keeps residents' driveways clear, and we provide what boards actually need: a written roof condition assessment for the reserve study, wind mitigation reports per building, a bid with the code items called out, and a single point of contact who shows up to the board meeting. Licensed, insured with limits commercial owners and associations require, permitted with the city or county, and inspected.

Recent work
Questions we get about commercial roofing
Do you work with associations?
Yes — it's a large part of the commercial work in the Cape. We deal with the board, the manager and the residents' schedules, and we deliver what the reserve study and the insurer need, not just a roof.
Can you give us a roof assessment for the reserve study?
Yes. A written assessment with photos, condition ratings and remaining-life estimates per building, in the format reserve-study firms use.
Our carrier wants wind mitigation on every building. Can you do that?
Yes, building by building, with the attic photos. It's often the fastest thing an association can do to hold a renewal.
How do you handle a re-roof while residents are living there?
One building at a time, driveways cleared each evening, debris chuted into a trailer rather than dropped, and a schedule posted to residents a week ahead.
Do you carry commercial insurance limits?
Yes — general liability at the limits commercial owners and associations require, plus workers' compensation. Certificates naming the association go out before we mobilize.
What about the 25% rule for our buildings?
The same law applies: buildings roofed after March 1, 2009 can repair damaged sections; older roofs with more than 25% damage in a year must come up to current code. We check each building's permit history first.
