Table of Contents [Hide]

Swordsmen Roofing serves businesses, property managers, and facility owners across Central and Southwest Florida. Our team delivers precision workmanship and long-term asset protection, combining advanced materials with disciplined project management for roofs that last and perform.

Local clients know for clear communication, fair pricing, and on-time completion. We focus on energy efficiency, impact resistance, and minimal downtime so your operations stay productive and your assets stay protected.

Our services include roof installations, replacements, repairs, and preventative maintenance for commercial and residential properties. We install TPO, PVC, metal, asphalt, and composite systems to match each facility's load, slope, and maintenance needs.

  • New roof installation and re-roofing
  • Targeted repairs and emergency service
  • Routine maintenance and roof rejuvenation
  • Inspections, budgeting, and long-term planning

Clients receive a clear plan, a written estimate, and a defined timeline. Our teams coordinate deliveries and safety so projects run smoothly with professional coordination and predictable outcomes.

We stand by a promise of integrity and transparency. Every project is measured and documented to ensure compliance with Florida codes and manufacturer specifications. Our goal is to protect investments with reliable workmanship and honest communication.

We partner with American-made manufacturers and hold certifications that back our work. That means you get robust systems and 25-year workmanship warranties on select assemblies for added peace of mind.

Building owners choose us for consistent quality, fair pricing, and responsive service. Our teams minimize disruption and keep stakeholders informed during every phase from permitting to final inspection.

With a focus on lasting solutions, we provide tailored recommendations that balance cost, lifespan, and performance, helping owners make smart, durable choices for their portfolios.

Attribute PVC TPO EPDM
Durability High High Moderate
Reflectivity Very Good Good Poor
Cost Higher Moderate Lower
Best Use Architectural, chemical resistance Energy efficiency, large roofs Simple, low-slope roofing

We craft solutions for warehouses, offices, healthcare, and retail properties. Our selections aim to reduce cooling costs while providing wind-resistant configurations that meet Florida wind zone demands.

Every roof is designed for its facility. We weigh load, slope, and lifecycle in each recommendation to ensure the best value and performance over decades.

TPO systems offer strong reflectivity and energy-saving potential for large commercial roofs. They are lightweight and economical, and they can be installed quickly to limit downtime for active facilities.

  • Reflective surface lowers cooling costs
  • Available in large sheets for fast installation
  • Good balance of performance and price

Our TPO projects use secure attachment methods to meet Florida wind requirements. For service details or rapid estimates call 833-791-7377 and we will respond promptly with a plan that fits your schedule.

Metal roofing provides durability and a long service life for commercial and design-forward properties. It performs well in wind events and can be configured for aesthetic appeal and thermal performance.

We install standing seam, through-fastened, and insulated metal panels. Metal is ideal for clients prioritizing high durability, fire resistance, and modern architectural looks.

Choosing the right single-ply membrane depends on budget, expected lifespan, and building use. PVC gives strong chemical resistance and durability, TPO offers energy savings and cost balance, and EPDM is a cost-effective, flexible choice.

Our team assesses each roof and recommends the most suitable single-ply option. We explain trade-offs clearly so owners can choose the membrane that delivers the best long-term return for their facility.

Re-roofing is a major investment. We start with a full assessment that looks at deck condition, insulation, drainage, and attachment needs. That foundation ensures the new roof will perform as expected.

Work plans include material selection, staging, and a timeline that protects operations. Our crews follow strict safety and quality procedures during every step of a replacement.

Before any work starts, we perform a thorough inspection. We check for hidden damage, thermal issues, and structural concerns. Findings guide material choice, removal scope, and cost estimates.

  • Detailed wet and dry inspections
  • Infrared imaging and moisture surveys
  • Budgeting with lifecycle cost analysis

Planning includes phasing options to allow parts of a property to remain open. This reduces downtime and maintains revenue for occupied buildings during the project.

Our replacement projects follow a clear execution plan with daily progress updates and quality checks. We stage materials to avoid site congestion and protect landscaping and operations.

For scheduling or emergency needs, reach our dispatch at 833-791-7377. We prioritize fast response for leaks and storm damage to protect assets and limit business interruption.

We offer manufacturer warranties and our own workmanship guarantees. As a TAMKO Diamond Contractor, we provide exclusive 25-year workmanship warranties on select roofing assemblies for qualifying projects.

Warranties are backed by documented inspections, certified installation techniques, and rigorous final testing to ensure long-term performance and client confidence.

Regular maintenance extends roof life and lowers the total cost of ownership. Our maintenance plans focus on early detection and economical repairs to prevent major failures.

We tailor service frequency to each roof's age, materials, and exposure to weather. Routine care helps avoid emergency shut-downs and costly full replacements when budgets are tight.

Preventive maintenance includes scheduled inspections, gutter and drain cleaning, sealant checks, and minor repairs. These tasks reduce the chance of leaks and prolong the roof's useful life.

  • Quarterly or biannual inspections
  • Cleaning and debris removal
  • Seam, flashing, and fastener checks

Plans are documented with photos and clear recommendations. Owners get a predictable budget and timely scheduling that keeps roofs in reliable condition year after year.

When leaks occur, fast action prevents interior damage. Our repair teams are trained to respond quickly, diagnose root causes, and apply durable fixes that stop leaks and protect interiors.

For urgent repairs contact our emergency line at 833-791-7377. We provide a fast on-site evaluation, temporary protections if needed, and a detailed repair plan to resolve issues permanently.

Roof rejuvenation can restore aging asphalt and single-ply membranes when suitable. Coatings add reflectivity, water resistance, and an extra weather barrier to extend service life affordably.

We evaluate substrate conditions and recommend rejuvenation only when it delivers measurable value. Treatments are applied by certified crews and include warranty options when eligible.

Project management is core to our work. We coordinate schedules, deliveries, inspections, and subcontractors so projects complete on time and within budget. That reduces surprises and keeps stakeholders informed.

Compliance with Florida building codes and wind provisions is mandatory. Our documentation and inspections ensure systems meet local requirements for safety and performance.

We handle permit acquisition and code interpretation to ensure proper approvals before work begins. Our permits include engineering if required, and our plans reflect current local regulations and wind zone criteria.

  • Permit preparation and submission
  • Engineering reviews and stamped drawings
  • Final inspections and code sign-off

Our compliance process reduces delays at inspection stages and helps owners avoid costly rework due to code oversights.

Safety is mandatory at every job site. We use trained crews, site safety plans, and strict PPE protocols to keep workers and occupants safe. Quality control checks happen at key milestones.

For safety concerns or to discuss site measures, please call our safety coordinator at 833-791-7377. We maintain records of training, inspections, and corrective actions for every project.

We build schedules to minimize impact on operations and keep deliveries and trades coordinated. Night or weekend work is available to fit tight operational windows for busy facilities.

Our planning reduces business interruption and keeps tenants and staff informed with a clear phasing plan and daily progress updates to avoid surprises.

Whether you manage one building or many, we provide scalable programs and documentation to support long-term asset care and capital planning.

Healthcare and education properties demand clean, quiet, and reliable roofing systems. We select materials and methods that reduce dust during installation and minimize service interruptions for critical operations.

  • Low-noise installation techniques
  • Hygienic material choices
  • Rapid leak response plans

Our projects follow strict infection control and safety rules where required, and we coordinate with facility teams to protect patients, students, and staff during work.
