Comprehensive Roofing Services by Swordsmen Roofing

Swordsmen Roofing offers a full spectrum of roofing services for homeowners and businesses. From small repairs to full replacements, our teams apply proven methods and quality materials to deliver durable, attractive roofs that protect properties year after year.

We provide options for energy-efficient upgrades and storm-hardened systems to protect your house during high winds and heavy rains. Our goal is to deliver measurable benefits and clear value through every project we complete.

Roof replacements that last

When it's time for a full replacement, we guide homeowners through material selection, ventilation strategies, and long-term maintenance plans. Proper installation with quality underlayment and flashing is essential for weather resistance and extended roof life.

We match system components to local climate demands so your new roof provides improved comfort, better protection, and a strong aesthetic update that increases curb appeal and value.

Repairs and emergency response

Our repair crews respond quickly to leaks, storm damage, and wear-related issues. Repairs are done with durable materials and careful detail to prevent recurring problems and protect your home until a more comprehensive solution is required.

For urgent needs, call our office and we will prioritize safety and immediate mitigation. Our approach is pragmatic: stop the damage, protect the interior, then restore permanent performance.

Maintenance plans and rejuvenation

Routine roof care extends life and reduces the need for large repairs. Our maintenance and rejuvenation services include inspections, minor repairs, sealings, and algae control to keep roofs performing well through Florida's humid seasons.

Regular service helps spot issues early and keeps warranties valid. We tailor maintenance plans to roof type, age, and homeowner goals so every client receives sensible protection at a fair cost.

Materials, Warranties, and Manufacturer Partnerships

We partner with top U.S. manufacturers to deliver vetted roofing systems backed by solid warranties. These partnerships give homeowners access to advanced materials and exclusive warranty programs that add substantial value to their investment.

As a TAMKO Diamond Contractor and a Preferred Brava Contractor, we can offer extended workmanship protections and manufacturer endorsements that many competitors cannot. This combination protects homeowners and boosts long-term confidence in every roof we install.

TAMKO and manufacturer-backed warranties

Being one of fewer than 150 TAMKO Diamond Contractors nationwide means we meet high installation standards and provide exclusive workmanship warranties. These protections can include up to 25 years of coverage where applicable and reassure homeowners that their roof is installed right.

Warranties are a promise of quality; we ensure the correct products and proper installation techniques are used to keep those promises in force for the life of the coverage.

Luxury composite solutions from Brava

As a Preferred Brava Contractor we install composite roofing that replicates slate, shake, or tile with minimal upkeep and excellent wind performance. These systems give homeowners the look of luxury with practical maintenance and strong warranty support.

Composite roofs are lighter than natural materials, which often simplifies installation and reduces structural stress. They are also engineered to resist common Florida performance issues such as water intrusion and wind uplift.

Product selection and upgrade options

We help homeowners choose systems that balance aesthetics, longevity, and cost. Options include reflective coatings, algae-resistant shingle blends, and enhanced underlayments to improve thermal performance and durability in humid climates.

• Reflective shingles to reduce heat gain and lower cooling demand
• Enhanced underlayment for improved weather barrier performance
• Algae-resistant options to limit dark streaks common in coastal climates
• Wind-rated systems designed for elevated wind zones and long-term holding power

Hurricane/Wind-Zone Roof Compliance and Code Expertise

Meeting Hurricane/Wind-Zone Roof Compliance (FBC/HVHZ) requires precise design, documentation, and installation. Our crews are experienced with the Florida Building Code and the special requirements for high-velocity hurricane zones.

We prepare detailed compliance documentation, use approved fastening schedules, and verify that roof assemblies meet code for uplift resistance and flashing integrity. This attention to detail protects homeowners and ensures proper permitting and inspection outcomes.

Design and documentation for FBC/HVHZ

For properties in high-velocity hurricane zones, we provide engineered details and documentation that demonstrate compliance with local codes. Our process reduces risk and helps streamline permit approvals so projects move forward efficiently.

Design work includes selection of wind-rated products, fastening patterns, and reinforcement where required. Proper documentation shows local authorities that the project meets FEMA and Florida Building Code expectations.

Installation practices for wind resistance

Installation technique is as important as product choice. We apply tested attachment patterns, secure penetrations and edges, and use reinforced flashings where needed. These methods reduce the risk of uplift during high winds and storms.

• Use of approved fasteners and nailing patterns
• Reinforced eave, ridge, and rake details
• Quality flashing and penetration sealing for long-term performance

Inspection, permitting, and homeowner peace of mind

We coordinate with local building departments and inspectors to confirm compliance from permit to final sign-off. Our team addresses code questions and documents the installation so homeowners receive full benefit of warranties and code compliance.

When you hire us, you get a team that understands the technical and administrative sides of code compliance, reducing stress and ensuring a smooth, documented project closeout.

Professional Installation and Project Management

Great roofing starts with skilled installers and ends with thorough cleanup and final inspection. Our crews are trained in safe, efficient installation techniques and follow strict quality checklists to deliver dependable results.

Project managers oversee schedules, material delivery, and on-site safety. We keep homeowners informed through clear updates and documented milestones so the job proceeds on time and within expectations.

Skilled crews and on-site supervision

Experienced crews perform installations to strict quality standards. Every project includes on-site supervision to ensure details are followed precisely and that the finished roof meets our high standards for performance and appearance.

Supervisors also handle coordination with inspectors and homeowners, making sure any questions are answered quickly and that the project finish is clean, safe, and complete.

Waste management and site protection

We protect landscaping, driveways, and property during work to prevent damage and make cleanup efficient. Proper staging and daily cleanup are part of our commitment to professional service and homeowner satisfaction.

• Covered staging areas to protect materials
• Magnet sweeps and debris removal to protect yards and gutters
• Final site walkthrough to confirm homeowner satisfaction

Clear communication and timeline management

Our project managers provide regular status updates and clear timelines so homeowners know when each phase will occur. We emphasize responsiveness and transparency to reduce disruption and keep projects moving.

Clients appreciate the routine check-ins and straightforward answers we provide. Good communication reduces surprises and builds the strong relationships that lead to referrals.

Repairs, Maintenance, and Long-Term Care

Keeping a roof in top shape requires timely repairs and preventive care. Our maintenance programs are designed to catch small issues before they become expensive problems, increasing the lifespan of your roof system.

From storm damage assessments to scheduled inspections, we work with homeowners to maintain performance and protect investments. Routine checks are particularly important in humid climates where algae and moisture can accelerate wear.

Storm damage assessment and restoration

After high winds or hail, our team performs careful inspections and documents damage for insurance purposes. We provide clear repair estimates and work to restore your roof using durable materials and best-practice installation.

Prompt assessment limits interior damage and often simplifies claims handling. We support homeowners through the process with honest reporting and reliable restoration work.

Preventive maintenance plans

Custom maintenance plans provide scheduled inspections, minor repairs, cleaning, and sealing as needed. This preventative approach reduces long-term costs and helps roofs perform efficiently through Florida's climate cycles.

• Biannual inspections to check flashing and ventilation
• Algae control and roof cleaning where appropriate
• Minor repairs to fasteners, shingles, or underlayment before issues grow

Rejuvenation and coating services

For eligible roofs, rejuvenation and reflective coatings can extend life and improve energy performance. We evaluate roof substrate conditions and recommend solutions that provide measurable benefits without premature replacement.

Rejuvenation tasks improve water shedding, UV protection, and aesthetic appearance, delivering cost-effective performance improvements for many homeowners.
