Yes. Craft Roofing works with custom home builders and general contractors on new residential construction throughout Naples and Southwest Florida, installing tile, standing seam metal and other roofing systems on new homes. As a Florida Certified General & Roofing Contractor (License CGC1540219 & CCC1336696), Craft Roofing can be engaged as the roofing contractor for a new build — coordinating with the builder's schedule, working from the project's architectural and structural drawings, and handling the roofing permit, product approvals and inspections that a permitted new-construction roof requires.
When a Roofing Contractor Should Get Involved
Earlier than most people expect. The roofing system interacts with the structure (tile weight and truss design), the architecture (roof geometry, slopes, transitions, the look of the finished roof), and other trades (wall waterproofing, penetrations, mechanical curbs). Bringing the roofing contractor in during design or early framing — rather than after the deck is on — allows roof-to-wall details, drainage, ventilation and material choices to be resolved on paper instead of improvised in the field. On complex or luxury homes, this early coordination is where a lot of future leak problems are prevented.
Reviewing Plans and Providing Estimates
Craft Roofing can review architectural roof plans, flag detailing concerns, and provide roofing estimates from construction drawings so the roofing scope and budget are clear before the build reaches the roof. Where a project has architects and engineers involved, the roofing contractor coordinates the roofing details and product submittals with them.
Materials for New Homes in Naples
New construction is the ideal time to choose the right long-term system — concrete or clay tile for the classic Naples look, standing seam metal for contemporary and luxury homes, with underlayment, flashing and attachment specified for Southwest Florida heat, rain, wind and (near the coast) salt air. Because the roof is being built fresh, the full system can be specified correctly from the deck up.
Reviewing Options in Person
Builders and homeowners working through material decisions are welcome to stop by Craft Roofing's design center in Naples, where tile, metal and shingle samples can be compared side by side before they end up in the construction drawings.

Does Craft Roofing work with general contractors?
Yes. Craft Roofing works with general contractors on residential and commercial projects throughout Naples and Southwest Florida, serving as the roofing contractor within a GC-managed build. As a Florida Certified General & Roofing Contractor (License CGC1540219 & CCC1336696), Craft Roofing coordinates with the GC's schedule and other trades, works from the project's construction drawings, provides roofing estimates and submittals, and handles roofing permits, product approvals and inspections. Bringing the roofing contractor in early — during design or early framing rather than after the deck is on — lets roof-to-wall details, drainage, ventilation and material selection be resolved on paper, which produces a cleaner installation and fewer field problems. For GCs managing custom homes and commercial buildings, that early roofing coordination is a meaningful risk reducer.
Can Craft Roofing review architectural roof plans and provide estimates from drawings?
Yes. Craft Roofing can review architectural roof plans and provide roofing estimates directly from construction drawings, so the roofing scope, system and budget are defined before a project reaches the roof. Reviewing plans early allows a roofing contractor to flag detailing concerns — roof-to-wall transitions, drainage, penetration locations, ventilation, and whether the structure suits the intended roofing system — while they are still easy to adjust on paper. On architect-designed and engineered homes, Craft Roofing coordinates roofing details and product submittals with the design team so the specified system matches the architectural intent and the structural design. Providing estimates from drawings also gives builders and owners a reliable roofing budget for the project early in the process. Craft Roofing (Florida Certified General & Roofing Contractor, CGC1540219 & CCC1336696) offers this for new construction throughout Naples and Southwest Florida.
What roofing systems are best for luxury homes in Naples?
Luxury Naples homes are most commonly roofed in either concrete/clay tile or standing seam metal, with the right choice driven by architecture, structure and owner preference. Tile suits Mediterranean, Spanish and traditional designs and delivers the signature Southwest Florida look with decades of durability, provided the structure carries the weight and the underlayment is specified for the long term. Standing seam metal — typically aluminum near the coast, with a premium PVDF/Kynar finish — suits contemporary and transitional architecture, offers strong wind performance with concealed fasteners, and has become a frequent choice on high-end Naples homes. On luxury projects the details matter as much as the material: upgraded self-adhered underlayments, meticulously executed flashings, coordinated penetrations and equipment curbs, and correct attachment for the wind requirements of the site. Early involvement of the roofing contractor during design is where those details get resolved.
