Table of Contents [Hide]

Swordsmen Roofing serves businesses, property managers, and facility owners across Orlando and all through Central and Southwest Florida. We deliver long-term protection with honest service and skilled crews who care about each roof. Our goal is simple: keep your building safe and your costs predictable.

Locally focused, nationally trained, and proudly practical, works with American-made materials and proven systems. We combine precision workmanship and disciplined project planning so work finishes on time and on budget. Expect clear communication and steady progress from start to finish.

We bring decades of hands-on experience and a practical approach to every job. Our teams are trained to install TPO, metal, asphalt, and composite roofs with attention to details that matter most in Florida weather, including flashings, drains, and edge securement.

We focus on durable results like impact resistance, energy savings, and minimal downtime. Our projects are planned to avoid business interruptions and to deliver reliable performance through hurricane season and high heat.

Our installers follow strict quality steps and industry best practices for every roof. That means inspections, proper deck prep, correct membrane application, and thorough cleanup. The result is a roof that performs well and looks professional for years.

We use strong attachments and tested details so your roof meets or exceeds Florida standards for wind and impact. That skill level reduces callbacks and gives owners lasting value from their investment.

For a fast response, call us today at 833-791-7377. We answer questions, schedule inspections, and provide clear, line-item estimates so you know what to expect. Our team explains options in plain language and helps you choose the best path forward.

We keep pricing transparent and avoid surprise charges. Every estimate spells out materials, labor, timing, and warranty details so you can approve with confidence.

Swordsmen Roofing provides full-service roofing: replacements, repairs, maintenance, and rejuvenation for both commercial and residential properties. We tailor each plan to building use, roof slope, and budget to deliver the best life-cycle value.

Whether it's a quick repair or a major re-roof, focuses on safety, quality, and speed. Our teams are trained for low-impact installation that protects operations and keeps properties tidy.

A full re-roof resets your building's protection and can improve energy efficiency. We handle removal, deck preparation, drainage upgrades, and modern membrane installation to meet your needs and current codes, including the latest wind-zone requirements.

Choices include TPO for reflective performance, metal for longevity, and architectural options for design-driven properties. We help owners match material to roof load, slope, and maintenance plan.

Fast, effective repairs stop leaks and protect interiors from damage. Our crews diagnose the cause, make durable repairs, and recommend follow-up work when needed. This prevents minor problems from becoming costly replacements.

Emergency response is available for storm damage, leaks, or critical failures. We triage problems quickly and apply secure temporary measures when needed, moving to permanent fixes as soon as possible.

Routine care extends roof life and reduces surprise costs. Our maintenance plans include inspections, drain clearing, sealant renewal, and scheduled repairs. Regular attention often delays replacement and keeps warranties valid.

Rejuvenation services restore protective coatings and improve reflectivity. These options can boost energy savings and provide a cost-effective alternative to full replacement when appropriate.

System Strength Typical Life
TPO (Reflective) High energy savings, good wind options 20-30 years
Metal Exceptional durability and impact resistance 30-50 years
Asphalt / Composite Cost-effective, versatile 15-30 years

We partner with trusted American manufacturers and install systems that balance cost, performance, and appearance. Material choice matters for energy bills, wind performance, and long-term maintenance schedules. Our experts guide owners through those trade-offs.

favors systems with proven test results and reliable warranties. We specify high-performance membranes, reinforced flashings, and energy-reflective finishes to lower operating costs and increase comfort inside facilities.

TPO membranes are popular for their reflective properties and cost-effectiveness. EPDM and other membranes offer durability for certain roof conditions. We match membrane type to roof slope, drainage, and expected foot traffic to ensure the right fit for each building.

Membrane selection also affects maintenance needs and lifecycle cost. We present clear comparisons so you can see trade-offs in price, longevity, and performance.

Metal roofs deliver outstanding durability and wind resistance when installed correctly. For properties with visual demands, architectural metal and composite options provide design flexibility with strong performance in Florida climates.

Metal systems often pair with insulation upgrades to improve overall building energy efficiency. We handle thermal design to balance upfront cost with long-term savings and comfort benefits.

Reflective roofs lower cooling loads and can pay for themselves through reduced energy bills. We evaluate roof reflectivity, insulation, and local weather to estimate likely savings and help owners make informed choices.

Upgrading to reflective membranes or coatings is a practical way to reduce rooftop temperatures and extend membrane life while delivering measurable energy savings for warehouses and offices.

Florida's building codes demand roofs that hold up to storms, and we make compliance straightforward. Our teams design and install systems to meet Hurricane & Wind-Zone Roof Compliance (FBC/HVHZ) standards so your building is protected when winds pick up.

Swordsmen Roofing understands local code cycles and inspector expectations. We prepare documentation, use approved attachments, and apply details tested for Florida's highest wind loads to minimize risk and delays.

Meeting FBC/HVHZ requirements starts with correct design and certified materials. We specify tested assemblies and follow manufacturer instructions exactly. That method helps secure permits promptly and reduces the chance of rework after inspection.

Our detail sheets show attachment schedules, uplift calculations, and fastening patterns. This level of documentation keeps projects moving and supports long-term performance.

Proper installation is as important as product choice. We train crews specifically for high-wind installations, install continuous securements, and ensure edge metal, copings, and penetrations meet tested standards. These steps protect buildings and people.

For peace of mind, selected systems come with enhanced workmanship warranties. We coordinate with manufacturers to help owners access extended protection when available.

After storms, quick and accurate inspections limit damage and help with insurance claims. We assess roofs for leak sources, attachment failures, and membrane damage and provide thorough reports for owners and adjusters.

Call our team at 833-791-7377 after a storm for rapid assessment and secure temporary protections. Immediate action often prevents interior damage and saves money on full repairs later.

Swordsmen Roofing partners with leading manufacturers and holds certifications that deliver real warranty value. As a TAMKO Diamond Contractor and a Brava Preferred installer, we provide access to extended warranties and architectural-grade options.

These relationships matter because they let us offer verified workmanship assurances and specialized assemblies that many competitors cannot match. Warranties are backed by training, documentation, and quality control.

As a TAMKO Diamond Contractor, we can offer exclusive 25-year workmanship warranties on select systems. That commitment reflects our focus on high standards and consistent installation practices across every project.

Owners gain confidence from extended coverage and our ability to coordinate directly with the manufacturer when warranty questions arise.

Brava Preferred status allows us to install durable, design-focused roofing options for owners who want standout curb appeal without sacrificing performance. These products combine beauty with tested longevity and easy maintenance.

Architectural-grade solutions are especially useful for retail centers, offices, and properties where aesthetics matter as much as protection.

We guide owners through warranty registration and compliance steps, keeping records and inspection reports up to date. This process helps preserve warranty validity and simplifies future claims or adjustments.

If you need warranty service, call 833-791-7377 and we'll coordinate inspections, documentation, and any necessary repairs with the manufacturer and your insurance provider.

Regular maintenance is the best way to control roofing costs. With scheduled inspections, minor repairs, and targeted rejuvenation, owners often extend service life and avoid unexpected failures that disrupt operations.

builds affordable maintenance plans that fit building use and owner budgets. Plans include cleaning, seal checks, and prioritized repairs so you can plan expenses rather than reacting to emergencies.

We set up inspection schedules tailored to roof type and building use. Each visit includes a checklist and photos so owners have a clear record. Regular checks catch seal failures, blocked drains, and vulnerable details before they become leaks.

Maintenance reduces lifecycle cost and supports warranty obligations by showing consistent care. It's a cost-effective way to protect investments over many years.

Coatings restore reflectivity, protect seams, and can add years to membrane life. We evaluate whether repair, recoating, or replacement is the best value and present clear options with expected benefits and timelines.

When coatings are appropriate, they are applied with proper surface prep and manufacturer-recommended techniques to ensure long-term performance and a uniform finish.

We offer repair bundles for property managers with multiple buildings. Bundles allow priority scheduling, reduced mobilization costs, and predictable annual spend. This approach simplifies budgeting and keeps campuses in solid condition.

To schedule a budget review or to set up recurring maintenance, contact our office at 833-791-7377. We'll build a plan that fits your needs and cash flow.

Every job is managed with safety, timelines, and clear communication in mind. We assign a single project manager so owners have one point of contact who oversees scheduling, subcontractors, and inspections for smooth execution.

Swordsmen Roofing uses disciplined project checklists to minimize interruptions and keep work on schedule. That means less downtime, fewer surprises, and a finished roof that meets expectations for function and appearance.

Your project manager coordinates crews, material deliveries, and inspections to avoid costly delays. On-site supervision ensures safety and quality checks every day, and progress updates keep owners informed without technical overload.

We focus on efficiency and respect for your property, staging materials neatly and protecting landscaping, parking, and operations during work.

Safety drives how we work. Crews follow OSHA guidelines, wear protective gear, and use fall protection systems. A strong safety culture protects workers and reduces the chance of project disruptions from incidents.

Our training routines include emergency response, permit compliance, and documented toolbox talks so every team member knows expectations and tasks before climbing on the roof.

We provide clear, line-item budgets and regular status reports. When unexpected conditions arise, we explain options and costs so decisions are informed and timely. That transparency builds trust over the life of the project.
