Cape Coral was started in 1957 by the Rosen brothers, who bought a hundred and three square miles and dredged it into the largest canal network of any city on earth. It is now the ninth largest city in Florida, and it is really four markets. The southeast is the oldest part, original block bungalows on tidal saltwater canals. The southwest is the premium waterfront. The northeast and northwest are newer, on fresh water or no water at all.
That split matters for roofing more than anything else here. A tidal canal home in the southeast lives in salt air and had six to nine feet of Ian surge through it. A northeast home on a freshwater canal took wind and nothing else. Same city, different job.
