Isles of Capri is four mangrove islands off Collier Boulevard just north of the Marco Island bridge, connected by fill and dredged into canal lots by Leland "Doc" Loach starting in 1956. The dredge ran twenty hours a day for five years. The original homes were small 1960s block houses with shingle or flat roofs, and many still stand between newer two-story canal homes under concrete tile or standing-seam metal. Almost every lot has a dock, and the whole community is a few feet above the water.
Ian on September 28, 2022, put surge through the ground floors of the older homes and wind across every roof with open water on three sides. Salt air does the rest between storms: fasteners, flashings, and metal edge rust here years before they would in Golden Gate.
This site connects Isles of Capri homeowners with an independent local roofing contractor by phone. It does not perform the work.
A roof repair on Capri often starts at a rusted screw line on a metal roof or a corroded drip edge under tile. After a named storm, it is a storm damage roofing job with photos on every slope for a claim. Owners who rebuild after surge damage go to a raised house with a metal or tile roof, and the roof replacement page covers the county permit and the wind-mitigation form that follows.
Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve surrounds the isles, 110,000 acres of mangrove and open water from Gordon Pass to the western Everglades, which is why the wind here arrives with nothing to slow it. Isles of Capri is unincorporated Collier County; permits run through the county, and fire service comes from the Greater Naples Fire Rescue District's Capri station.
