Our project managers keep you informed from permit to final walk. We offer clear budgets, timelines, and single-point communication so decisions are easy and fast. Expect regular updates and predictable milestones.
We protect your investment by controlling costs and offering options that balance upfront price with long-term value. You'll see the difference in fewer emergency repairs and stable operating expenses.
Benefits of Cool/Reflective Roofs to Lower Cooling Costs
Cool/Reflective Roofs to Lower Cooling Costs are a smart choice for Florida properties. By reflecting sunlight, these systems reduce rooftop heat and lower interior cooling loads during hot months. That often pays back through energy savings.
Installing reflective roofing helps warehouses, offices, and retail centers maintain stable temperatures with less HVAC runtime. That reduces wear on equipment and can extend the life of your climate control systems.
| Roof Type | Best For | Energy Impact |
|---|---|---|
| TPO | Large flat roofs | High reflectivity, strong savings |
| Metal | Pitched or low-slope | Durable, reflective coatings available |
| Asphalt | Cost-sensitive replacements | Moderate; cool options exist |
| Composite | Architectural looks | Balanced performance and style |
How Reflective Roofing Saves Money
Reflective roofs cut heat absorption so your air conditioning works less. That lowers monthly cooling bills and reduces peak energy demand. Over time, savings can offset a portion of installation cost, especially on large roofs.
With consistent maintenance, reflective systems give predictable savings year after year. They also support tenant comfort and can be part of sustainability goals that attract tenants and buyers.
Durability, Codes, and Wind Resistance
Florida's codes demand wind-resistant configurations. We design roofs for each wind zone using secure attachments and tested assemblies. That gives you proven performance when storms arrive and reduces risk of costly damage.
We offer assemblies that meet local code and industry standards. Choosing the correct fastening and seam type is critical for long life and insurance compliance on commercial properties.
Installer Quality Matters - What We Do
Quality installation is as important as material choice. Our crews train on manufacturer procedures and follow strict quality control checks so seams, flashings, and drains work right the first time. That lowers call-backs and repairs.
We document each step for warranties and ownership records. This includes photos, inspection reports, and clear maintenance guidance so future teams know exactly how the roof was built.
Commercial Roofing Services: Replacement, Repair, and Rejuvenation
Swordsmen Roofing offers full-service roofing for businesses and multi-building campuses. We handle everything from small repairs to full replacements with planned staging to minimize downtime and protect operations.
Services include emergency repairs, planned maintenance, membrane replacement, and roof rejuvenation that extends service life. Our teams adapt work to each facility's schedule to keep your business running smoothly.
Planned Replacements and Upgrades
We assess roofs for structural condition and life-cycle cost and then recommend the best solution. Re-roofing can improve insulation, add reflective coatings, and upgrade to more durable systems for longer service life and lower maintenance.
Planning includes staging, safety plans, and coordination with on-site staff to keep disruptions low. We also help schedule work in cooler months when possible to reduce heat stress on crews and materials.
Repairs and Leak Response
Quick, professional repairs stop leaks and protect assets. Our teams use proven diagnostics to find the root cause and fix the issue, not just patch the symptom. That saves money and avoids repeated calls for the same problem.
For service calls, call 833-791-7377. We respond fast, document findings, and offer clear options so you can decide with confidence after seeing the issue and cost estimate.
Rejuvenation and Coatings
Coatings and rejuvenation restore aging roofs and can buy years of life at a lower cost than full replacement. These services improve waterproofing and can add reflective properties to lower cooling costs across your building.
We select coatings that match your roof type and traffic pattern. Proper surface prep and application are critical, and our crews follow manufacturer instructions to ensure full product performance.
Specialized Systems: TPO, Metal, Asphalt, and Composite
We install a range of systems so each building gets the best fit. Whether you need a lightweight TPO membrane for a big flat roof, metal panels for a sloped roof, or architectural composites for curb appeal, we have the expertise.
Each option balances factors like cost, durability, reflectivity, maintenance, and aesthetics. We present clear trade-offs to help owners choose the best long-term value for their site.
TPO Systems for Large Roofs
TPO is a reliable choice for commercial low-slope roofs. It offers strong reflectivity and good seam performance when welded correctly. Proper installation ensures low water intrusion and good life-cycle value for big roofs.
We manage large TPO installations with staged crews, quality monitoring, and on-site testing so seams are watertight and membranes lay flat for long-term performance and lower cooling costs.
Metal Roofing Advantages
Metal roofs are tough and long-lasting, with options for reflective coatings to help reduce heat gain. They are well suited for sloped roofs and can be installed with hidden fasteners for a sleek look and reduced leak points.
Metal systems also provide strong wind resistance when properly anchored and can often be installed over existing roofing materials, saving time and disposal costs on some projects.
Asphalt and Composite Options
Asphalt remains a cost-effective choice for many properties, and modern cool shingles add reflectivity. For design-focused projects, composite tiles offer durability and an architectural finish with good weather resistance.
We help owners select materials that balance budget and appearance while still focusing on longevity and maintenance needs over time.
Warranty, Certification, and Quality Assurance
As a TAMKO Diamond Contractor, we offer exclusive 25-year workmanship warranties on qualifying assemblies. Our Brava Preferred status also gives access to premium, architectural-grade products for high-end properties.
Certifications and warranties protect your investment and give owners peace of mind. We document installations to meet warranty requirements and keep you informed about maintenance to preserve coverage.
Industry Certifications and Manufacturer Backing
Manufacturer partnerships are central to our quality approach. They provide training, product support, and extended warranty options so you get a complete system backed by both installer and manufacturer.
These relationships mean faster access to parts, technical support, and warranty fulfillment when needed, reducing your long-term risk and simplifying claims handling.
Workmanship Warranties and Extended Coverage
Our workmanship warranties cover installation problems that lead to leaks or premature failure. That protection is a backup to the material warranty and shows our confidence in the quality of our crews and processes.
If you need warranty service, call 833-791-7377 to report the issue. We respond quickly, review the situation, and work with the manufacturer when applicable to resolve problems with minimal hassle.
Quality Assurance and Documentation
Every project includes written records: pre-install inspections, photos, material receipts, and final checks. This documentation supports future maintenance and any warranty claims, making ownership simpler for facility teams.
We create clear maintenance plans and train on-site staff when needed so simple tasks are handled correctly and roofing life is extended through simple, regular care.
