A homeowner off Barrancas Avenue called me late one summer afternoon after a storm rolled through Naples. It was not even a hurricane, just one of those fast Gulf storms with heavy rain and wind. She noticed a dark spot spreading across her living room ceiling. When we got on the roof, the problem was not new. Old flashing had pulled loose months earlier. Water had been slipping in slowly every time it rained. The storm just made it show.
Collier Estates roofs deal with things many other Naples neighborhoods do not. This area sits close to the water, with steady moisture in the air year round. Salt air, strong sun, and sudden storms all hit roofs hard here. Many homes were built decades ago, and a lot of roofs are holding on longer than they should. Small issues get missed until they turn into leaks, rot, or mold inside the home.
Whether your house is closer to Tamiami Trail, near the Gordon River, or tucked back on a quiet street in Collier Estates, I know the roof systems here and how they fail. What I provide is straight forward roofing work that handles the problems homeowners often put off. That way your roof sheds water, your structure stays dry, and repairs do not turn into full replacements before their time.

The Reality
Roof Problems in Collier Estates Do Not Always Start Big
Most roof trouble here builds slowly. A lifted shingle. A rusting nail. Cracked sealant around a vent pipe. From the ground, everything looks fine. From the attic or ceiling, the damage is already starting.
Common issues we see in Collier Estates:
- Wind lifted shingles
Afternoon storms and tropical systems loosen shingles over time. Even if they do not blow off, lifted edges let water push underneath and soak the decking. - Salt air corrosion
Metal flashing, fasteners, and vents break down faster this close to the coast. Rust opens tiny gaps that water finds easily. - Sun baked roofing materials
Florida sun dries out asphalt shingles and roof sealants. Once materials get brittle, cracks form and leaks follow. - Poor old repairs
Many homes here have patch jobs done years ago that no longer hold. Tar dries out. Caulk splits. The leak comes back in a new spot.
What happens when we step in:
- Water stays outside where it belongs
- Attic spaces stay dry and cooler
- Roof materials last longer instead of failing early
Our Roofing Services in Collier Estates
Roof Leak Detection and Repair
Most roof leaks in Collier Estates do not drip right away. Water travels along decking and framing before it shows inside. That makes leaks tricky to track if you do not know what to look for.
We take time to trace the path of water, not just patch the stain. That means checking flashing, roof penetrations, valleys, and shingle laps. Homes near the river and low lying areas deal with higher moisture and slower drying times, so leaks spread faster if ignored.
Fixing a leak early saves insulation, drywall, and framing from rot. It also keeps mold from starting in hidden spaces.
Shingle Roof Repair
Asphalt shingle roofs are common in Collier Estates. They work well here when maintained, but they take a beating from heat and storms. Missing granules, curling edges, and loose nails all weaken the system.
We repair damaged sections, replace failed shingles, and reset areas that have lifted. The goal is to restore how the roof sheds water, not just make it look better from the street.
Homes closer to open areas and canals often see more wind exposure. Catching shingle damage early keeps it from spreading across the roof.
Roof Flashing Repair and Replacement
Flashing is one of the most common failure points we see. Chimneys, skylights, vent pipes, and wall connections all rely on flashing to keep water out. In Collier Estates, flashing often fails before shingles do.
Salt air and heat cause metal to corrode and sealants to crack. When flashing pulls loose, water gets straight into the roof system.
We remove damaged flashing and install new materials that hold up better in coastal Florida conditions. Done right, flashing protects the most vulnerable parts of your roof.
Roof Replacement for Aging Homes
Some roofs here have simply reached the end of their life. Many were installed 20 to 30 years ago, and Florida weather shortens that lifespan. When repairs stop holding or leaks keep returning, replacement becomes the smarter option.
We walk homeowners through roof replacement without pressure. We explain material options, timelines, and what fits the house best. For older homes in Collier Estates, proper underlayment and ventilation matter just as much as shingles.
A new roof improves storm protection, energy performance, and home value.
