Contractor nears post-Ian recovery milestone in replaced, repaired roofs

A Florida roofing contractor with offices in Tallahassee, Orlando and Fort Myers is nearing a major post-Hurricane Ian storm recovery milestone: replacing or repairing 1,000 roofs since the storm ravaged Southwest Florida.

Lloyd Roofing, from its Fort Myers location, has deployed post-storm roofing crews from Marco Island through Port Charlotte, serving the hardest-hit areas of Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel Island, Pine Island and Fort Myers, according to a statement. In the months since Ian, Lloyd Roofing has used more than 1.5 million square feet of roofing materials, including tile, shingle, metal, membranes and underlayment, on storm-related projects. That's roughly equivalent to 26 football fields worth of roofing materials installed.

“Going through Hurricane Ian was a traumatic experience for all of us, including our team members whose own homes were damaged during the storm,” says Rast Bryant, Lloyd Roofing’s general manager for Southwest Florida, in the statement. “The stress and frustration of dealing with insurance companies, adjusters, contractors and permitting delays can be overwhelming. In these types of situations, residents and businesses just want a roofing company that is honest, responsive and gets the job done, and that’s what Lloyd Roofing has done since day one.”
