Buckingham is the rural stretch east of Interstate 75 where Buckingham Road splits off State Road 82, between the Orange River and the Lehigh Acres grid. It is acreage country: ranch homes on two to ten acres, horse fencing, and a mix of 1970s block houses, 1990s and 2000s custom homes, and manufactured homes. Metal roofs are common on the ranch houses and the barns. Shingle covers most of the rest.
Buckingham is far enough from the coast that surge is not a concern, but the wind that stripped Lehigh Acres in September 2022 came through here too, and long metal panels on open lots caught it. The Orange River rose after Ian and again during the wet seasons since, and homes near it deal with water from below as well as above.
Fort Myers Roofers connects Buckingham homeowners with an independent local roofing contractor who takes rural work.
A metal roof with a leak at a fastener line or a ridge cap is a roof repair and often a sealant and fastener job. A 1990s shingle roof on an acreage home with a renewal letter is a roof inspection first. A replacement out here is a roof replacement through the county, and metal is the material most Buckingham owners go back with.
Buckingham is unincorporated, so permits go through Lee County. The community's public center is the county's Buckingham Community Park on Buckingham Road, with ball fields, trails, and a dog park, just east of the county's resource recovery plant.
