Comprehensive Roofing Services
Swordsmen Roofing offers a full range of residential roofing services designed for Florida homes. From small repairs to full replacements, we cover every step with careful workmanship and honest pricing. Our teams assess roofs thoroughly to recommend the best, cost-effective path forward.
We handle aging roofs, storm damage, and proactive maintenance. Our goal is to extend roof life when practical, or provide an efficient, high-quality replacement when needed. Homeowners appreciate our clear explanations and tailored solutions.
Roof Replacements and Upgrades
A full roof replacement restores a home's protection and curb appeal. We remove old coverings, inspect decking, and install high-performance systems built for heat reflection and wind resistance. Upgrades often include improved underlayment and ventilation for better efficiency and comfort.
We present material options including asphalt shingles, metal, tile, and composite roofing. Each option is explained with pros and cons so homeowners choose the best match for style, budget, and storm performance.
Repairs, Rejuvenation, and Maintenance
We repair leaks, replace damaged shingles, and perform targeted rejuvenation to extend roof life. Routine maintenance prevents small issues from becoming major expenses. Our crews address flashing, vents, soffits, and gutters as part of a complete service.
Call for fast service: 833-791-7377. We schedule inspections quickly and provide clear repair plans with estimated timelines and costs. Our repair teams focus on durable fixes, not temporary patches.
Inspections and Condition Reports
Our inspections are thorough and written in plain language. We document decking condition, flashing details, fasteners, and ventilation. Reports include photos and recommended next steps, whether repair or replacement, with transparent pricing options.
Inspections also help with insurance claims and pre-sale disclosures. We help homeowners understand inspection findings and make informed choices about roof care and upgrades.
| Material | Durability | Maintenance | Wind Rating |

Materials Built for Florida Climate
Florida demands roofing materials that resist UV exposure, humidity-driven algae, and strong winds. At Swordsmen Roofing, we select products to reflect radiant heat, resist biological growth, and meet rigorous wind testing. This focus produces energy savings and less maintenance over time.
We partner with top U.S. manufacturers to offer options that look great and perform well. Whether traditional shingles or luxury composites, each system is chosen for durability and long-term protection.
Asphalt Shingles
Asphalt shingles are a cost-effective, versatile choice that can be engineered for high wind and reflective performance. We install architectural shingles that offer better aesthetics and improved durability versus three-tab products. Proper underlayment and ventilation are essential for long life.
Shingle systems we recommend include algae-resistant features and higher solar reflectivity to reduce attic heat. These choices often lead to noticeable cooling savings during the first summers after installation.
Metal and Standing Seam Options
Metal roofing offers excellent durability and wind resistance. It reflects heat well and performs with minimal maintenance. We install both exposed-fastener and standing-seam systems depending on style and performance needs.
Call to discuss metal options: 833-791-7377. Our team explains finish choices, noise considerations, and long-term costs to help homeowners decide if metal is the right investment for their home.
Tile and Luxury Composite Roofing
Tile roofs provide long life and classic appeal, but they require proper installation to resist uplift in high winds. Composite products like Brava give the look of slate or shake with lighter weight and easier installation, maintaining strong wind performance and low upkeep.
As a Preferred Brava Contractor, we can offer luxury composite roofs that combine authentic appearance with outstanding performance and minimal long-term maintenance.
Hurricane/Wind-Zone Roof Compliance (FBC/HVHZ)
Meeting Florida Building Code requirements in high-velocity hurricane zones is essential for safety and insurance compliance. Our installations follow FBC/HVHZ rules and certified wind ratings to keep roofs secure during storms. Compliance protects families and reduces future risk.
We work with engineers and local permitting authorities to ensure roofs meet required fastening schedules, roof coverings, and tie-down details. This attention to detail is a core part of our safety-first approach.
Code Knowledge and Permitting
Our team stays current on local codes and FBC/HVHZ updates so every project passes inspection. We submit detailed plans and manufacturer specifications with permit applications to avoid delays. Proper licensing and paperwork keep the job moving and compliant.
We explain code requirements to homeowners and provide documentation that details roof components, wind ratings, and approved fasteners used in the installation.
Wind-Rated Fastening and Engineering
Wind performance starts with correct fastening patterns and quality materials. We follow manufacturer and engineering guidance to install roofs that resist uplift and wind-driven damage. Reinforcing details are used where required around edges and penetrations to maximize survivability.
Schedule an evaluation: 833-791-7377. We will assess your roof's current wind performance and recommend modifications that meet FBC/HVHZ standards for high-velocity zones and coastal exposures.
Storm-Ready Installations and Repairs
When storms approach, preparation is essential. We advise on preventive measures, secure loose items, and repair vulnerable roof components before major weather events. Post-storm inspections identify damage and help homeowners make timely insurance claims.
Our crews follow strict safety and cleanup protocols during storm repairs so homes are safe and habitable as quickly as possible. We focus on reliable, long-lasting repairs, not temporary fixes.
Warranties, Certifications, and Craftsmanship
Quality and guarantee are central to our work. As a TAMKO Diamond Contractor, we offer exclusive workmanship warranties up to 25 years and help homeowners understand manufacturer shingle coverage, including Limited Lifetime options where applicable. We stand behind every installation with documented care.
Our on-site attention to detail and certified training result in fewer callbacks and more satisfied customers. We use trusted products and proven techniques to achieve professional results that hold up over time.
Manufacturer Partnerships and Warranties
Strong manufacturer partnerships provide added assurance. Our agreements allow us to offer exclusive warranty extensions and to support claims efficiently when issues arise. This level of backing delivers peace of mind for homeowners investing in their roofs.
We walk you through warranty terms and maintenance steps needed to keep coverage valid. Understanding these details protects both your investment and your home.
Workmanship Standards and Inspections
Our installers follow strict quality checklists on every job. Post-installation inspections confirm flashing, fasteners, and ventilation are correct. This attention to process and detail results in roofs that meet or exceed industry expectations for performance.
Request a quality review: 833-791-7377. We perform thorough final inspections and provide a written checklist so homeowners know what was done and why it meets high standards.
Lifetime Care and Service Programs
We offer maintenance programs that keep roofs performing as designed. Regular inspections, gutter cleaning, and small repairs can extend roof life and improve energy performance. These programs are practical investments that reduce long-term costs.
Our service teams are trained to recognize early signs of wear and provide solutions that save homeowners money over time while preserving roof integrity.
Customer Process, Claims Assistance, and Financing
Our customer process is clear and simple. From the first inspection through project completion, we provide written proposals, timelines, and a single point of contact. Communication is frequent and straightforward to reduce stress for homeowners during projects.
We help with insurance claims by documenting damage, providing cost estimates, and communicating with insurers as needed. Our goal is to make the recovery process as smooth and fair as possible for families.
Transparent Estimates and Project Plans
Every project begins with a thorough inspection and a written estimate. We explain line items and offer options so homeowners can choose the best path. Our transparent pricing removes surprises and keeps projects on budget.
We also provide clear timelines and scheduling details, so families can plan around the work without unnecessary disruption.
Insurance Claims and Documentation
