Systems and materials for lasting performance
Pick the right roof and you save money over time. Our team recommends systems based on load, slope, and expected use. We match materials to each facility so roofing supports daily operations without surprises.
We partner with top manufacturers and offer systems that resist impact, wind, and Florida sun. These choices lower repair needs and help buildings meet coastal codes and insurance standards.
TPO and reflective options
TPO systems are great for flat or low-slope commercial roofs and give excellent energy savings in hot climates. The reflective surface helps reduce cooling costs and can pay for itself over time through lower utility bills.
We install seams and flashings precisely so the system resists leaks. For warehouses and office parks, TPO delivers cost-effective protection and long-term value.
Metal roofing advantages
Metal stands out for longevity and strength, especially in wind-prone areas. With proper attachment and flashing, metal roofs meet tough Florida standards and deliver wind-resistant performance that protects assets.
Metal is recyclable and often qualifies for insurance discounts. It also offers low maintenance and a range of architectural looks for retail and office properties.
Comparing asphalt and composite choices
Asphalt shingles and composite tiles are common on sloped buildings and offer lower upfront costs for many projects. They provide reliable protection when installed with quality underlayment and proper ventilation.
Swordsmen Roofing helps owners weigh lifecycle costs so you know the real value. Our crews install these systems to meet Florida Roofing Codes & Coastal Requirements and local inspections.
- Asphalt: affordable, quick to install, good for sloped roofs.
- Composite: architectural look with improved durability.
- Metal: best for longevity and wind resistance.
Professional installation and project management
Good materials need skilled hands. Our installers follow strict quality control and use proven techniques. We manage logistics, safety, and inspections so the job finishes on time and on budget.

Our planners include the right trades and prioritize code compliance, including Florida Roofing Codes & Coastal Requirements. That planning saves time and keeps costs predictable.
On-site supervision and quality checks
Every project has a dedicated supervisor who inspects workmanship and signs off on each stage. These checks ensure seams, fasteners, and flashings are installed correctly and that the roof meets both manufacturer and code requirements.
We document progress and provide owners with clear reports. That record helps with warranty claims and shows the care taken during installation.

We call first and schedule fast. For a quick start, call 833-791-7377 to set a review. Our bids are clear and itemized so owners understand options and trade-offs.

Maintenance, inspections, and roof rejuvenation
Regular care extends roof life and avoids costly surprises. We offer maintenance plans that catch small issues before they become emergencies. That saves owners money and reduces interruptions to business.
Our rejuvenation services restore protective coatings and seals on many systems. Rejuvenation can be a smart alternative to full replacement when structure and substrate remain sound.
Scheduled inspections and preventive care
We inspect roofs for ponding water, seam wear, flashing damage, and biological growth. Those routine checks help identify repairs that keep a roof watertight and functional for years beyond its normal service life.
Inspections also check compliance with Florida Roofing Codes & Coastal Requirements, which protects your building and your insurance standing.
Coatings and rejuvenation options
Coatings can add reflectivity and seal minor defects. Applied correctly, they reduce heat gain and slow deterioration. Coatings are a cost-effective approach for many commercial roofs and can defer replacement.
We evaluate the substrate, drainage, and existing flashing to recommend the right coating system. When done right, rejuvenation delivers energy savings and extended service life.
Maintenance plans that work
Our maintenance plans include regular inspections, cleaning, minor repairs, and detailed reports. These plans are tailored by roof type and facility use, and they remove the guesswork from ongoing care.

Emergency repairs and storm response
Storms and leaks demand fast action. Our crews are ready for emergency tarps, temporary repairs, and fast assessments to limit interior damage. Quick response reduces downtime and cost.
We work with property managers and insurers to document damage and recommend durable repairs. Our goal is to restore safe conditions promptly and move to long-term fixes.
Rapid response and temporary protection
When roofs fail after storms, we provide fast tarping and leak control so building operations can continue. Immediate protection prevents interior damage and buys time for permanent repairs to be planned with care.
We focus on safe access, secure tarping, and clear communication. That quick action protects tenants, assets, and business continuity.
Permanent repair and recovery
After the emergency, we assess structural needs and recommend the right permanent repairs. Our technicians repair flashings, replace damaged panels, and restore watertight details to manufacturer standards.
All repair work follows Florida Roofing Codes & Coastal Requirements and is documented for insurance purposes. We aim for lasting fixes that reduce repeat calls.
