Commercial Roofing Services and System Choices
We help owners choose the right roof for their building needs. Our team explains pros and cons so stakeholders can weigh cost, life expectancy, and energy impact. We focus on low disruption and quick, clean installations.
Swordsmen Roofing offers tailored solutions for each facility type, from manufacturing plants to retail plazas. We plan to reduce downtime and keep operations safe during work.
TPO installations and benefits
TPO is a popular single-ply roofing option because it blends energy efficiency and cost. Its heat-welded seams make it reliable on low-slope commercial roofs. Our installers ensure seam quality and correct flashing methods.
TPO can lower cooling costs through reflectivity and is often a good balance of performance and price. We install TPO with attention to drains, penetrations, and wind-rated attachments.
Metal, asphalt, and composite systems
Metal roofs offer long life and strong wind performance for many buildings. Asphalt and composite options work well for sloped roofs and architectural properties. Each system has maintenance needs we explain in plain terms.
We match the system to building loads and use schedules. Our crews secure attachments and provide clear care plans that help roofs reach their full service life with minimal repairs.
Replacement planning and quick support
For full replacements, we manage permitting, staging, and scheduling to limit downtime. We coordinate with property teams and subcontractors to keep projects on time. Below are typical steps we follow:
- Initial survey and condition report
- Clear written estimate and timeline
- Permitting and phased work plan
- Final inspection and handover
To schedule an inspection call 833-791-7377 and speak with a project manager. We respond quickly and provide clear next steps.
Energy Efficiency and Reflective Roof Technologies
Reflective roof systems can lower cooling bills and improve indoor comfort. We recommend options that fit each roof's use and budget. These choices often repay their cost over time through energy savings.
Our team looks at roof color, coating types, and insulation upgrades to design a combined solution for comfort and cost. We document expected savings and payback for owner review.
Reflective single-ply and coatings
Coatings and light-colored systems help reflect solar heat and reduce rooftop temperatures. This improves HVAC efficiency. We select coatings that bond well and resist ponding and UV exposure.
We measure roof slope and drainage before recommending coatings to avoid trapping water. Our goal is measurable energy savings and longer membrane life.
Insulation, ventilation, and heat flow
Insulation upgrades are often the best move for long-term savings. Proper insulation reduces heat transfer and eases HVAC load. We align insulation with roof assembly to meet code and performance goals.
Ventilation adds to comfort and roof longevity by reducing trapped heat and moisture. We evaluate attics and rooftop equipment to design balanced airflow and consistent performance.
Expected savings and analysis
We provide clear, simple analyses of expected savings from reflective systems. Owners see likely payback timelines and annual savings estimates. This helps prioritize projects across properties.
Call 833-791-7377 for a savings estimate and roof score. We offer practical reports and next-step recommendations to help you decide with confidence.
Repairs, Rejuvenation, and Preventive Maintenance
Routine maintenance stops small issues from becoming emergencies. Our maintenance plans are simple, effective, and tuned to Florida weather. We aim to extend roof life and cut total cost of ownership.
Rejuvenation and repairs restore performance without full replacement when suitable. We assess membranes and coatings to find the best action: repair patching, coating, or selective replacement.
Preventive maintenance plans
Regular inspections catch loose flashings and clogged drains before they cause leaks. Our maintenance teams follow a checklist so nothing is missed. Plans are scheduled annually or after major storms.
Typical maintenance items include clearing drains, checking seals, and tightening fasteners. This routine work helps avoid costly downtime and keeps warranties valid. Below are common plan features:
- Bi-annual inspections
- Drain and gutter cleaning
- Minor repairs and caulking
- Documentation and repair log
Emergency repairs and storm response
When storms strike, fast response matters. Our crews secure roofs quickly to prevent interior damage. We focus on temporary protections and clear reports so owners can file insurance claims.
We track repairs and produce reports with photos and cost estimates. Our emergency work gets buildings safe and helps plan permanent repairs with minimal delay.
Rejuvenation and coating options
Coating systems restore water resistance and extend membrane life at a lower cost than replacement in many cases. We evaluate adhesion and existing conditions before recommending coatings.
Schedule a roof review at 833-791-7377 to see if rejuvenation fits your roof. Our team provides an honest appraisal and cost-benefit summary for each option.
Warranties, Certifications, and Code Compliance
We offer robust warranties and work with quality manufacturers. As a TAMKO Diamond Contractor, we supply exclusive 25-year workmanship warranties on select assemblies. We also offer Brava Preferred options for architectural projects.
Meeting Florida codes and wind requirements is a priority. We document attachments and assemblies to help with insurance and inspections. Our reports make compliance simple to verify.
TAMKO Diamond and Brava Preferred benefits
Our certifications mean access to extended warranties and high-grade materials. The TAMKO Diamond status allows for special workmanship warranties, while Brava provides architectural-grade options for design-forward properties.
These credentials show our commitment to quality and allow owners to offer long-term protection for roofs with confidence. Below are key warranty and product features:
- 25-year workmanship options
- Wind-resistant configurations on select systems
- Architectural-grade tiles and panels through Brava

Code compliance and documentation
We handle permits and ensure assemblies meet Florida building codes. Our installers document attachment patterns, fastener types, and insulation details to make inspections easy.
This documentation also helps when filing insurance claims after events. We give owners clear records and a simple file for future reference.
Insurance support and claims assistance
We guide owners through claim documentation and estimate preparation. Our reports include photos, repair scopes, and cost outlines so adjusters can see the needs clearly.
For claims help call 833-791-7377 to connect with our claims specialist. We help manage the process and explain options clearly so decisions are faster and less stressful.
Project Management, Safety, and Customer Care
From initial survey to final walkthrough, our project managers coordinate every detail. We plan staging, safety, and site access so your facility stays safe and productive during work.
We use simple schedules and clear updates. Owners get timely status reports and one point of contact to reduce confusion. Our approach is built on communication and respect for site operations.
Planning, scheduling, and logistics
We develop a project plan with milestones that fit tenant schedules and operations. Staging, material delivery, and crane use are planned to avoid busy periods whenever possible. This reduces upset and helps projects finish on time.
We also coordinate inspections and final documentation so there are no late surprises. Our plans are practical, with clear steps and immediate follow-up on any issues.
Safety programs and quality inspections
Safety is part of everything we do. Crews are trained on fall protection, hot-work safety, and on-site hazard controls. Inspections occur during and after work to confirm quality and safety compliance.
We document safety checks and provide an inspection packet at project end. This packet covers workmanship photos, test results, and care recommendations for building managers.
Customer care and final handover
We complete a final walkthrough with owners and managers to show completed work and explain warranty coverage. This handover ensures everyone understands maintenance needs and warranty terms.
Contact our customer care team at 833-791-7377 for follow-up or service questions. We keep lines open and respond quickly to support ongoing roof health.
