Metal roofing in Fort Myers
A metal roof is the longest-lasting roof you can put on a Fort Myers home. Metal roofing lasts 40 to 70 years, compared with 10 to 15 for shingle and 20 to 25 for the underlayment under a tile roof, and standing seam withstands 120 mph winds with every fastener hidden from sun, rain and salt. International Roofing is based on Lee Road in Fort Myers and has installed metal roofs here since 2018, from a waterfront new-construction home to a four-building commercial plaza that Hurricane Ian stripped bare.
We are the Vargas family, a family-owned and woman-owned roofing company and a licensed and insured Florida Certified Roofing Contractor (license CCC1332289). Every roof comes with our 10-year workmanship warranty and the manufacturer’s warranty. Call 239-202-8103.
Standing seam or stone coated steel
- Standing seam metal. Long vertical panels with hidden fasteners, in aluminum or steel, 1.5-inch snap-lock and nail-strip profiles, Kynar 500 finishes that resist fading and chalking. The modern look, and our recommendation for anything on the river or the Gulf.
- Stone coated steel. Steel pressed into tile, shake or shingle profiles with a stone-granule finish. Lightweight, fireproof and rated to 120 mph, for homes and communities that want a traditional look. Our own Marcelino has been the leading stone coated steel installer in Southwest Florida for over 15 years.
- Aluminum near the water, steel inland. Aluminum does not rust, so we use .032 aluminum panels on waterfront homes. Steel holds a crisp profile and is the usual choice inland and on commercial buildings, where we use 24-gauge Kynar 500 panels.

Recent metal work in Fort Myers
- Waterfront new construction, 2026. A luxury home built with Carlton Naumann Custom Homes, finished with Slate Gray Sentriclad standing seam in .032 aluminum, 1.5-inch nail-strip profile, chosen for corrosion resistance on the water. See the showcase.
- Barkley Circle Plaza, 2024. Four commercial buildings whose 5V metal panels peeled off in Hurricane Ian. We tarped all four, replaced rotten wood, re-decked, installed Polyglass MTS high-temperature underlayment and finished with 24-gauge Kynar 500 standing seam in Dove Gray and new gutters throughout.

What a metal roof does for a Fort Myers home
- Wind. Standing seam and stone coated steel are rated to 120 mph, and hidden fasteners have nothing for a hurricane to grab.
- Insurance. A new roof with the right attachment earns wind mitigation credits. We provide the wind mitigation inspection form after every re-roof.
- Lifespan. 40 to 70 years, with no tile underlayment to replace at year 20 and no shingles to lose in a storm.
- Maintenance. No cracked tiles and no lost shingles. An annual inspection through our SHIELD Maintenance Program is all it needs.
How a metal roof installation works with us
- Free inspection, photos and a written estimate with aluminum and steel options and a Kynar 500 color chart.
- HOA submittal if your community requires one, then the Lee County permit and Notice of Commencement.
- Tear-off, decking inspection and repair, high-temperature peel-and-stick underlayment made for metal, then the panels, trim and flashing, with a foreman on site daily.
- County final inspection, warranty documents and your wind mitigation form.
Financing is available, including the PACE program. Read PACE Program and International Roofing.
Fort Myers metal roofing questions
Aluminum on the river, the beach or the canals, because it cannot rust. Steel inland and on commercial buildings. We recommend one based on where your home sits.
Many associations now approve standing seam in specific colors and profiles, and stone coated steel looks like the tile they already require. We check your community’s guidelines and prepare the submittal before quoting.
Yes. Every replacement starts with a full tear-off so we can inspect and repair the decking before the underlayment and panels go on.
