Iona is the southwest corner of the Fort Myers mainland, where McGregor Boulevard and Summerlin Road run out toward the Sanibel causeway. The neighborhoods here were built from the 1960s through the 1980s on canals cut into the mangrove edge of the Caloosahatchee and San Carlos Bay, and the houses are single-story block ranches, many with boat docks out back. Shingle and flat tile are the common roofs, with newer waterfront rebuilds going to metal.
Iona is coastal in every way that matters to a roof. Salt air works on fasteners and flashing year-round. Ian's surge came up the canals in September 2022 and put water into homes along Shell Point Boulevard and the canal streets off McGregor, and the wind took roofing across the whole area. Many Iona roofs are post-Ian replacements now, and the ones that are not are old.
Fort Myers Roofers connects Iona homeowners with an independent local roofing contractor.
A 1970s ranch with a shingle roof at year twenty and rust showing at the drip edge is a roof inspection first, since the question is whether the decking under it is still sound. A canal-front home with a new metal roof from 2023 and a leak at a seam is a roof repair and a warranty conversation. A roof that is done is a roof replacement permitted through the county, and the fastener spec should be marine-grade.
Iona is unincorporated, so permits go through Lee County. The community's landmark is Lakes Park on Gladiolus Drive, 279 acres of old shell-mine lakes that reopened after Ian and is the closest thing Iona has to a town square.
