Materials Built for Florida Climate

Choosing the right material matters in Florida. We partner with top U.S. manufacturers to offer options engineered for heat, humidity, and wind. Each material is selected for performance, durability, and visual appeal.

recommends materials that reflect radiant heat, resist algae growth, and meet the highest wind ratings. This helps reduce cooling demand and prolong roofing life across Florida seasons.

Modern asphalt shingles come with cool-color technology that helps reflect heat and lower attic temperatures. These shingles are cost-effective and widely available in styles that match home architecture and neighborhood norms.

We install high-wind shingles and use detailed flashing and fastener patterns that ensure secure attachment. Proper installation is as important as the shingle choice in achieving long-term performance and warranty coverage.

Metal roofs offer outstanding durability and excellent wind resistance. They shed water and heat well and have a long service life when installed with correct underlayment and attic ventilation. Metal is also recyclable and low-maintenance.

Metal options come in panels and shingles with many colors and profiles. We guide homeowners to the best profile for their home and budget and ensure attachment meets wind-zone requirements for lasting performance.

Luxury composite products replicate slate, shake, or tile with less weight and upkeep. As a Preferred Brava Contractor, we install composite roofs that combine beauty and durability without the fragility of natural materials.

  • Authentic look with modern performance
  • Low maintenance and superior wind ratings
  • Long-term warranty and energy benefits

Composite roofs are ideal for homeowners seeking high-end curb appeal and minimal long-term maintenance while meeting Florida demands for wind and sun resistance.

Hurricane/Wind-Zone Roof Compliance and Permits

Meeting local codes and building requirements is essential in Florida. We specialize in Hurricane/Wind-Zone Roof Compliance (FBC/HVHZ) and handle permit preparation and inspections. Working within code protects your home and enhances safety.

Proper compliance reduces risk in storms and ensures insurance claims are supported. Our crews install systems that meet or exceed FBC/HVHZ standards for wind uplift and component attachment.

We prepare permit-ready documents and provide installation details that satisfy inspectors. Our familiarity with county and municipal requirements speeds approval and avoids delays that can extend project timelines.

Documentation includes uplift calculations, fastening schedules, and product data that prove compliance. This helps projects move smoothly from permit to final sign-off with minimal surprises for homeowners.

Wind uplift resistance depends on both materials and installation. We use upgraded fasteners, proper underlayment, and manufacturer-approved methods to meet uplift demands. This work is vital in HVHZ and coastal zones where wind forces are highest.

  • Upgraded fastening schedules
  • Reinforced flashings at penetrations
  • High-wind rated options and tested attachments

These steps protect roofs during hurricanes and reduce the chance of failure when storms arrive. We document each step for transparency and warranty fulfillment.

We manage permit submissions, adjust plans as needed, and coordinate inspections so projects move forward. This saves homeowners time and reduces back-and-forth with local authorities. We keep you updated on permit status and inspection dates.

Our crews perform final checks and provide inspection-ready reports. Many customers appreciate our attention to detail and the way we handle compliance while they focus on home life and recovery priorities when storms pass.

Installation Process and Warranty Assurance

Our installation process is clear and organized. From initial inspection to final cleanup, we follow protocols that reduce risk and deliver consistent outcomes. Every step is documented and explained to the homeowner.

Swordsmen Roofing stands behind workmanship and partners with manufacturers to offer strong warranties. We are one of fewer than 150 TAMKO Diamond Contractors nationwide and a Preferred Brava Contractor, which translates to better warranty options for you.

We begin with a detailed inspection and checklist. Then we remove old materials as needed, assess decking, and install quality underlayment and flashing. Final steps include cleanup and a walk-through with the homeowner to explain care and maintenance.

Our trained crews follow manufacturer instructions precisely. Proper installation ensures product warranties remain valid and that your new roof performs as promised through wind, rain, and sun exposure.

As a TAMKO Diamond Contractor we offer exclusive workmanship warranties up to 25 years and Limited Lifetime shingle coverage where applicable. These warranty options give homeowners added protection against defects and installation issues.

  • Up to 25 years workmanship for qualifying projects
  • Limited Lifetime shingle coverage where applicable
  • Preferred Brava warranty for luxury composite roofs

We provide warranty documentation with every project and explain what is covered and for how long. This helps homeowners plan for future maintenance and know what to expect if issues arise.

Before we consider a job complete, we perform a final quality inspection. This includes checking fasteners, flashings, ventilation, and clean-up. We document findings and correct any items that do not meet our standards.

We also provide homeowners a file with warranty papers and care instructions. This helps preserve warranty coverage and supports long-lasting performance for the investment made into the roof.
