About K. Simon Construction
Inspect carefully. Explain clearly. Build correctly. Document completely.
K. Simon Construction is a nationwide general contractor delivering roofing and exterior restoration, with over 30 US offices, a walk-in main office in North Fort Myers, and regional offices across Florida. This page tells you who we are the way that means the most: who owns the company, and how the work runs from the first inspection to the closeout record you keep.
Operating discipline
What every project is held to
Four commitments, in the order the work happens. They are the standard the company holds itself to on every roof, residential or commercial, planned or urgent.
Inspect carefully
No recommendation without documentation. The inspection records the roof as it is (assembly, condition, drainage, details) before anyone names a product.
Explain clearly
Findings and options in plain language. Trade terms get defined, tradeoffs get stated, and “it depends” comes with an explanation of what it depends on.
Build correctly
The build follows the written scope. Quality is checked during the work, at the stages where it can still be corrected, not inspected in at the end. Field conditions that change the scope are documented and explained before the work continues.
Document completely
Closeout is a deliverable, not a goodbye. The owner ends the project holding the record: what was installed, how it was verified, and what maintenance the roof needs from here.
Residential · Commercial · Emergency
The same discipline, applied differently
A homeowner, a facility director, and an owner with active water intrusion need different things from the same company. The discipline holds; the delivery adapts.
- How the residential process works
Residential
A roof is one of the largest single decisions most homeowners make, usually with no prior experience to lean on. The residential process is built to make that decision inspectable: written findings, options explained against the house’s actual condition, and a scope you can hold the work to.
- How commercial roofing is planned
Commercial
Facility teams manage roofs as assets across budget cycles and answer to owners and boards. Commercial work is planned around occupied operations and documented for that accountability: assessments, scopes, and closeout packages written to be forwarded, not just filed.
- What to do during an active leak
Emergency
Emergency work starts with people, not the roof. Stay off ladders and off the roof, keep clear of sagging ceilings and of standing water near anything electrical, and call. Stabilization comes first, then documentation of the damage, then the plan for permanent repair, in that order, calmly.
The project method
Six steps, every roof
The sequence every project moves through, whether it starts as a planned replacement or an emergency call.
Inspect
Start with conditions, constraints, access, and priorities.
Document
Create a record that supports a real scope and a real decision.
Explain
Compare repair, restoration, and replacement paths in plain language.
Build
Coordinate people, property protection, production, and communication.
Verify
Review critical details, progress, and completion evidence.
Close out
Deliver final records and a clear path for future service.
See for yourself
Judge us by the work.
The fastest way to know who you are hiring is to look at the work and hear it from the people who paid for it. Browse the project gallery, read our reviews, or put your own address into the roof visualizer and see your home with a new roof before you commit to anything.
Safety
Safety is a precondition, not a feature
Roofing is dangerous work, run correctly or not at all.
Access is planned before anyone climbs. Fall protection is standard working practice, not an option. The people and property below the roof stay protected while the work is on it, and the site is kept in order every day, not just on the last one.
The same rule extends to you: if your roof is damaged, stay off it. Assessing a roof from the roof is our job, with the right equipment, never a property owner’s.

Work with K. Simon
The inspection is where this starts on your roof
You have read how the work runs. The inspection is where you see it on your own building: documented findings, options explained, and a recommendation you can question.
