Comprehensive Roofing Services for Every Home

At Swordsmen Roofing we provide a full range of roofing services for homeowners and small businesses. From small repairs to complete re-roofs, each service is planned to protect the home and extend the life of the roof while balancing cost and performance.

Our teams install asphalt shingles, metal, tile, and composite systems. We offer restoration for older roofs and targeted repairs that stop leaks and prevent bigger problems. Every option prioritizes weather resistance and longevity.

We also help owners understand financing options and insurance processes when roof damage is storm related. Our staff works with adjusters and provides documentation to support fair claims when needed.

Replacements and New Roofs

When a roof needs replacement, we evaluate structure, ventilation, and underlayment to design a durable system. We use industry best practices and follow strict installation standards to deliver a roof that performs well in Florida's heat and storms.

Modern ventilation and insulation choices help reduce cooling loads and increase comfort, often delivering measurable energy savings in the first summers after installation. We focus on both protection and efficiency.

Repairs and Emergency Response

Our repair teams respond quickly to leaks, storm damage, or the wear that comes with age. We diagnose root causes, stop water intrusion, and restore roof function with materials matched to the existing roof when possible for seamless results.

Fast, reliable repairs keep your home dry and safe. We provide honest advice about when repair is a good value and when replacement is the longer-term solution.

Roof Rejuvenation and Maintenance

Routine maintenance extends roof life and protects investment. We offer cleaning, sealing, and targeted rejuvenation services that slow algae growth, fix flashing, and preserve appearance. These steps delay replacement and save money.

• Scheduled inspections
• Gutter and flashing checks
• Granule and sealant treatments
• Minor repairs to prevent leaks

Materials and High-Performance Systems

Choosing the right roofing material matters for durability, appearance, and energy use. Swordsmen Roofing partners with top U.S. manufacturers to offer systems engineered for Florida heat, humidity, and wind.

We install premium asphalt shingles, metal panels, clay and concrete tile, and luxury composite options. Each system is selected for its balance of beauty, protection, and long-term performance in our climate.

Many homeowners see lower cooling costs after installing reflective or ventilated roofs. Our designs focus on energy savings and durable finishes that resist algae and fading.

Asphalt Shingles

High-quality asphalt shingles can be cost-effective and long-lasting when installed properly. We use designer shingles with wind ratings, algae resistance, and reflective options that improve performance in the Florida sun.

• Varied styles and colors
• Class 3-4 impact options
• Energy-reflective choices

Metal and Composite Systems

Metal roofs offer long life and excellent wind resistance. Composite systems, like luxury synthetic slate or shake, mimic traditional looks with less weight and maintenance. Both provide strong protection in coastal areas.

Preferred Brava Contractor status allows us to offer premium composite roofs that combine beauty with strong wind ratings and minimal upkeep for years of low-maintenance performance.

Tile and Specialty Roofing

Tile roofs are traditional and durable, especially on historic homes. We evaluate structure and weight capacity before installation and recommend tiles with high wind ratings and proper underlayment to meet Florida standards.

• Clay and concrete options
• Proper underlayment and fastening
• Historic restoration expertise

Installation Standards and Hurricane/Wind-Zone Compliance

Florida has specific standards for roofs in high wind zones. Hurricane/Wind-Zone Roof Compliance (FBC/HVHZ) is central to our approach. We design and install systems to meet the Florida Building Code and High Velocity Hurricane Zone requirements when applicable.

Meeting these codes involves proper fastening, approved underlayments, and certified flashing. We document installations and provide the paperwork needed for inspections and insurance records. Compliance is not optional-it protects homes and lives.

Our crews are trained in wind-zone best practices and use materials approved for HVHZ where required. We maintain careful records and follow manufacturer instructions to preserve warranties and safety.

Code-Driven Installation Practices

Work in HVHZ areas requires certified techniques, from nail patterns to hip and ridge details. We use proven fastening schedules, reinforced understructures, and approved sealants to meet or exceed local codes and manufacturer instructions.

Proper installation reduces blow-off risk and extends roof life. We also coordinate with inspectors and provide clear documentation to avoid delays and ensure lawful, safe roofs.

Storm Readiness and Wind Ratings

We recommend wind-rated systems for coastal and hurricane-prone properties. Products with higher uplift resistance and tested fasteners give homes better protection during storms. Selecting the right system is a balance of cost and safety.

• High wind-rated shingles
• Reinforced decking
• HVHZ-approved flashings
• Certified fastening patterns

Inspection, Documentation, and Repairs

After installation, we provide a full inspection report and warranty documents. Proper documentation helps with future insurance and resale value. We also offer post-storm assessments to advise on repairs or claims support.

Clear records and visible workmanship make inspections quick and certain. Homeowners appreciate the peace of mind that comes with compliant, documented installations.

Repairs, Re-roofing, and Cost-Effective Solutions

Not every roof needs full replacement. Swordsmen Roofing evaluates damage and recommends the most cost-effective, durable solution. We explain repair options and the long-term trade-offs between repair and replacement.

Minor leaks, flashing failures, or localized damage can often be fixed quickly. For roofs near the end of life, replacement is usually more economical in the long run and improves whole-home protection and energy performance.

We use quality materials and careful flashing details to make repairs that last. When replacement is needed, we remove damaged layers as required and provide a complete warranty package.

Common Repairs and Solutions

Leaks typically start at flashing, vents, or roof transitions. We locate the source, replace or seal the affected components, and restore proper drainage. Small fixes prevent mold, rot, and interior damage when done quickly.

• Flashing replacement and sealing
• Shingle replacement and patching
• Skylight and vent repairs
• Gutter and downspout adjustments

When to Replace vs. Repair

We recommend replacement when roof age, widespread granule loss, or structural damage reduces long-term protection. Replacement restores warranty coverage and improves energy performance and curb appeal.

Informed decisions ensure homeowners choose the right path for budget and longevity. We provide cost comparisons and expected lifespans for each option so you can decide with confidence.

Insurance and Storm Damage Assistance

Storm damage calls for careful documentation. We provide inspection reports and photographic evidence to support insurance claims. Our estimates are clear and detailed to help adjusters understand needed repairs.

Fast response and professional reports speed the process and help homeowners recover sooner. We work alongside owners and their insurers to reach fair outcomes.
