Meeting these extreme conditions requires more than standard roofing methods—it demands strict compliance with Florida’s rigorous wind mitigation and building codes. We engineer every system from the decking up to resist severe wind uplift, driving rain, and corrosive salt air. Whether securing a single-family home or managing an expansive commercial facility, our specialists bring the technical precision, premium materials, and code-compliant installations needed to keep your roof watertight and structurally sound for decades to come.
National Strength. Southwest Florida Dedication.
McKinnis Roofing and Sheet Metal is proud to serve the Southwest Florida market from our physical, fully staffed office right here in Fort Myers. While our company brings decades of established, nationwide commercial and residential roofing experience to the table, our local Florida crews understand exactly what it takes to protect your property from tropical storms, coastal salt, and intense UV exposure.
Whether you need a tile roof replacement in Cape Coral, emergency hurricane repairs in Fort Myers, or a complete flat roof system for a commercial building in Bonita Springs, our local experts are on the ground and ready to help.
Southwest Florida properties face a unique combination of year-round thermal stress, torrential rainfall, salt air corrosion, and tropical storm-force winds. A standard off-the-shelf roofing installation simply won't hold up over time. At McKinnis Roofing & Sheet Metal in Fort Myers, we deliver full-service residential and commercial roofing solutions engineered specifically to meet or exceed the Florida Building Code. From high-wind residential replacements to complex commercial flat roof systems, our local team brings the technical expertise, proven materials, and precision craftsmanship needed to safeguard your investment.
Protect your home and lower your cooling costs with roofing materials built for Southwest Florida’s tropical climate. We install high-wind architectural shingles, authentic barrel and flat concrete tile, and ultra-durable standing seam metal roofs. Every installation includes advanced secondary water barrier (SWR) underlayments and reinforced fastening systems to maximize wind uplift resistance and help reduce homeowner insurance premiums.
Commercial facilities, retail centers, warehouses, and HOA communities require reliable, low-maintenance flat and low-slope roofing systems. We specialize in single-ply TPO, PVC, and EPDM membranes, as well as modified bitumen and liquid-applied roof coating restorations. Our commercial roofing specialists deliver energy-efficient, highly reflective systems that resist ponding water, harsh UV degradation, and chemical exposure while minimizing business disruption.
Small leaks and cracked tiles can quickly escalate into structural water damage and mold growth during daily summer downpours. Our Fort Myers repair technicians provide detailed moisture diagnostics, hurricane damage assessments, pipe boot replacements, and tile re-setting. We also offer customized preventative maintenance plans to catch minor wear before it turns into a premature, costly roof replacement.
Coastal weather quickly exploits weak or generic flashing details at roof edges, valleys, and wall transitions. McKinnis operates an advanced in-house sheet metal fabrication shop to manufacture custom-fit coping caps, gravel stops, drip edges, standing seam panels, gutters, and downspouts. Using corrosion-resistant aluminum, copper, and treated steel, we build tailored architectural metal solutions that guarantee a watertight seal.

What Our Florida Customers Say
Rick Fritz with McKinnis Roofing & Sheet Metal is the only person I would call for roofing in SWFL. He is very knowledgeable and his team offers free inspections with photo documentation, which is a real lifesaver with insurance after a storm. — Allicia W
After spotting a spot on my living room ceiling, I contacted Richard Fritz and provided him pictures on a Saturday night. He responded to me on Monday and was able to schedule an inspection of my roof the next day. My water leak from my 7 year old roof (from a previous company) was coming from the lack of baffles that are now part of code for the roof vents. He provided me pictures of what I should have had, my neighbors house had them, and compared to mine, none. Water was entering this area when the wind was blowing at certain angles. Because I had extra tiles and McKinnis Roofing was able to match the color of the vent, they were able to perform this repair within a week. Outstanding customer service and a quality repair. They provided before and after pictures and the clean up after the repair was impeccable. Integrity, accountability, reliability, all things that you are looking for in a company that you want to trust. They check all the boxes. — John Z
