We walk every roof and provide practical recommendations. Our team explains options in plain language and helps owners compare lifecycle costs and benefits before any decision is made.

At Swordsmen Roofing, we offer a full range of roofing services for both commercial and residential properties. From small repairs to full replacements, our goal is to extend roof life and protect the building below with proven systems.

We follow industry best practices and Florida building codes on every job. Our crews are experienced with steep and low-slope roofs, and we tailor solutions to each building's load, slope, and maintenance needs.

TPO membranes are a popular choice for their reflectivity and energy savings. A properly installed TPO roof can lower interior temperatures and reduce HVAC load. We specify reflective membranes to help cut cooling costs over time.

Choosing Cool/Reflective Roofs to Lower Cooling Costs is a smart move in Florida. These systems reduce heat gain, improve comfort, and can deliver a fast return on investment through lower utility bills and less roof surface stress from heat cycles.

Metal roofs offer durability and wind resistance. Asphalt systems are cost-effective and reliable. Composite and architectural options give a design-driven finish. We match the roof type to the building use, budget, and desired lifespan.

Our team installs robust attachment methods to perform in Florida wind zones. We detail flashings and penetrations to prevent leaks and support long-term performance. This careful work reduces future repair needs and protects tenant operations.

We repair leaks, restore flashings, and apply rejuvenation coatings where appropriate to extend life and delay replacement. Rejuvenation can be a cost-effective option for many asset owners seeking more service years from an existing system.

When a replacement is needed, we offer workmanship warranties and coordinate manufacturer-backed guarantees. For qualifying assemblies we provide exclusive 25-year workmanship options and other high-value protections to reduce owner risk.

Roof Type Best Use Key Benefit
TPO Low-slope commercial Reflective energy savings
Metal Warehouses, industrial Durable, wind-resistant
Asphalt Retail, offices Cost-effective replacement

We work with top manufacturers and choose materials that meet performance goals and budget. That includes energy-saving reflective membranes, high-strength metal panels, and long-life asphalt systems backed by tested warranties.

As a TAMKO Diamond Contractor and Brava Preferred installer, we install assemblies that combine aesthetic quality and robust performance. That mix helps building owners protect property value while meeting upward code demands in Florida.

Reflective membrane systems reduce heat absorption and deliver measurable cooling savings. We design details like edge metal and drains to complement the membrane and protect roof integrity over time. These steps improve both comfort and durability.

Our specification process weighs lifecycle costs, not just first cost. We present clear comparisons so owners can see the long-term value of reflective systems versus alternatives. This helps leaders make informed funding choices.

Metal roofing provides excellent longevity and wind performance. We employ secure attachment methods and tested fastener patterns to resist uplift and movement during storms. Proper attachment is central to long-term roof success in Florida.

With metal, we also address thermal movement, condensation control, and fastener integrity. Each panel and seam receives the right manufacturer's detail to protect the roof, and we validate the installation during regular quality checks.

For design-driven properties, our Brava Preferred options deliver architectural-grade finishes with strong performance. These products are ideal for plazas, mixed-use buildings, and properties where curb appeal matters as much as durability.

We guide owners through color and profile choices and show how architectural options work with insulation and ventilation for complete system performance. That approach preserves the building's look while keeping it safe and dry.

Commercial buildings need roofs that protect operations and reduce lifecycle cost. We specialize in projects for warehouses, retail centers, healthcare facilities, and office parks, delivering solutions that match use and budget.

Our project teams coordinate with facility managers for staging, deliveries, and scheduling. We plan work to limit tenant disruption and to ensure safety and access around the site during construction.

Warehouses require strong, low-maintenance roofs. We install systems that support heavy equipment loads, allow for mechanical penetrations, and give long service life. Strong designs reduce the need for frequent repairs and roof access downtime.

We recommend durable membranes or metal panels and use robust attachment methods for wind zones. The goal is to protect inventory and equipment while minimizing interruptions to shipping and operations.

Retail plazas and office buildings need roofs that look good and perform well. We offer composite and architectural solutions that fit brand standards while providing weather protection and energy savings. The right roof supports tenant comfort and reduced operating costs.

Our work includes careful roof-to-parapet detailing, secure flashing, and effective drainage. Each detail reduces leak risk and future repair costs, and we document the completed work for long-term maintenance plans.

Healthcare roofs must support strict schedules and uninterrupted operation. We plan installations to protect HVAC systems and to limit noise and dust. Our teams coordinate with facility staff to keep critical systems online during a project.

We use reliable materials and installation methods that meet strict code and safety requirements. For these clients, our precision workmanship and careful planning are essential to patient comfort and building resilience.

Regular maintenance extends roof life. We offer scheduled inspections, preventive repairs, and coatings that rejuvenate aging surfaces. These services often save money compared to early replacement and reduce surprise failures.

Our inspection reports are clear and prioritized. We list issues that need immediate attention and recommend cost-effective actions to protect building use and lower lifecycle cost.

Planned maintenance keeps roofs functioning and avoids emergency repairs. We create customized plans that match each facility's use, roof type, and budget. Routine checks catch small problems before they become major leaks and expenses.

Documentation and photos come with every visit. Owners receive clear work orders and budgetary forecasts so they can plan capital replacements and keep tenant spaces safe and dry.

Coatings can add years to many roof systems. We evaluate membrane condition and recommend coatings where they will perform. Rejuvenation preserves existing roofs while improving reflectivity and waterproofing in many cases.

These options help owners get more life from an asset with lower initial cost than full replacement. We show the expected life extension and savings from reduced cooling load and fewer repairs.

When a sudden leak or storm damage occurs, quick action is key. Our teams provide emergency service to stop leaks, secure damaged areas, and restore safe conditions. Fast response reduces interior damage and business interruption.

For urgent situations, call our office and arrange immediate assessment. We document damage and propose repair or replacement steps and timelines to return the roof to full protection with minimal delay.

Owners choose us for our proven results, clear contracts, and strong warranties. Our team values honesty and work that meets expectations. We deliver the quality needed to protect facilities and reduce lifecycle costs.

With partners and certifications like TAMKO Diamond Contractor and Brava Preferred, we combine warranty value and product choice. This combination leads to roofs that protect investments as well as buildings.

We offer exclusive 25-year workmanship warranties on select assemblies and work with manufacturers to secure long-term product backing. Warranties and support are vital to reduce owner risk and provide predictable protection for years.

Our process includes careful documentation for claims and a clear path from project start to warranty registration. Owners receive a complete set of paperwork and direct manufacturer contacts when required.

Safety is fundamental. We train crews on fall protection, material handling, and site control. Our staff follows local code and safety standards on every project, ensuring a safe job site for workers and building occupants alike.

Our compliance checks cover permitting, inspection, and final sign-off. We manage the paperwork so owners can focus on building operations while we handle the technical and regulatory details.

Clear schedules and budgets make projects predictable. We create phased plans and communicate milestones. This transparency reduces surprises and fosters trust between our crews and building owners or managers.

We provide progress reports, photos, and schedule updates so owners always know where a project stands. This level of communication helps keep tenant relations positive and operations steady.
