Professional Assessment and Planning
Our process begins with a thorough roof assessment that looks for leaks, insulation gaps, and structural issues. We use simple reporting so you see the condition and the recommended fixes. Expect transparent pricing and clear timelines before work starts.
We also factor in energy performance and life-cycle costs. That helps you choose options that may pay back over time through lower energy bills. Our goal is practical, effective results you can count on.

Cool/Reflective Roofs to Cut Cooling Costs

Cool/Reflective Roofs to Cut Cooling Costs are a smart move in our hot climate. By reflecting sunlight, these roofs keep buildings cooler and reduce A/C loads. That often pays back the investment through lower energy bills.
We design reflective roof systems for warehouses, retail centers, and offices. You get cooler interiors, better comfort for tenants, and a more predictable energy budget.
How Reflective Roofs Work
Reflective membranes and coatings bounce sunlight away from the roof surface. This lowers roof temperature and decreases the heat transferred into the building. The result: lower interior temperatures and reduced need for air conditioning, especially during peak summer months.
These systems are especially useful for buildings with large, exposed roof areas and consistent daytime cooling needs. They work best when paired with good insulation under the roof membrane.
Benefits and Savings
Owners see lowered energy bills and improved tenant comfort. Reflective roofs can also extend roof membrane life by lowering thermal stress. Over time this can mean fewer repairs and less frequent full replacements.
We provide cost estimates and simple payback scenarios so you can see the savings over time. This helps plan budgets with confidence and predict real returns.
Installation Options and a Quick Checklist
972-979-6197 is the best way to get a tailored estimate for reflective roof options. Call us and we'll schedule a site visit and energy review quickly. We make the rest easy and transparent.
The checklist below helps property managers prepare for an on-site review so we collect the right data the first time:
- Roof age and recent repairs
- Building use and cooling patterns
- Access and staging areas for installation
- Maintenance history and current concerns
Roof Replacement, Repair, and Rejuvenation Services

At Swordsmen Roofing we handle everything from small repairs to full replacements and roof rejuvenation. Our teams are trained to diagnose problems quickly and recommend the right solution, whether a patch, a new membrane, or a coating that adds years to your roof.
We use quality materials and proven techniques so repairs last. Our crews clean up thoroughly and coordinate with building operations to keep business disruption minimal.
Fast, Reliable Repairs
Leaky seams, ponding water, and storm damage are common issues we fix fast. We use durable patches and seam repairs to restore watertight integrity. Quick repairs limit interior damage and keep your operations running smoothly.
Our repair work is performed with care, and we document everything so you have a clear record of what was fixed and why. That documentation helps with insurance claims and future planning.
Full Replacements Done Right
When a full re-roof is needed, we manage the project from demo to final inspection. We coordinate deliveries, safety plans, and work schedules so you get predictable results and minimal downtime. Our teams respect your property and staff.
We also provide maintenance plans after replacement to protect your new investment. Regular checks and minor repairs preserve the roof and extend its life for decades.
Rejuvenation and Coatings
972-979-6197 connects you to a specialist who explains rejuvenation options. Roof coatings can restore aged membranes and add reflective properties. For many roofs, this is a cost-effective way to add years of life without full replacement.
Coatings are chosen based on roof condition, traffic, and long-term goals. We recommend coatings only when they offer reliable performance and real savings.
Specialties: TPO, Metal, Asphalt, and Composite Systems

We install many types of systems and help you pick the one that fits performance and budget needs. Our crews are trained on TPO seams, metal fastening patterns, and architectural composite installation for higher-end properties.
Each system has pros and cons. We explain them in plain language and show how each choice affects maintenance, life expectancy, and energy performance.
TPO Systems for Flat Roofs
TPO is popular for flat commercial roofs because it combines durability with reflectivity. It's a good choice when energy performance and cost matter. TPO membranes offer heat-reflecting surfaces that lower roof temperature.
We install TPO with welded seams for lasting strength and minimal leaks. Proper insulation and drainage are paired to maximize system life and performance.
Metal Roofing for Durability
Metal roofs are tough and long-lasting, often ideal for warehouses and modern office buildings. They resist impact and shed water quickly, and some metal systems are designed for high wind resistance up to severe speeds.
Maintenance is straightforward, and metal roofs can be fitted with reflective finishes to cut cooling loads while providing a durable shell over the building.
Asphalt and Composite Options
972-979-6197 will get you a quote for asphalt or composite roofing and explain the trade-offs for cost and aesthetics. Asphalt remains a common, economical choice for many low-slope roofs and budget-conscious projects.
Composite and architectural-grade shingles offer design flexibility for properties that want a specific look while still getting good protection and warranty coverage.
Warranties, Certifications, and High-Wind Coverage

We stand behind our work with strong warranties. As a TAMKO Diamond Contractor, we offer exclusive 25-year workmanship warranties and wind coverage up to 160 mph. Our Brava Preferred status lets us offer architectural options with added durability.
These credentials show our commitment to quality and give building owners the confidence that repairs and installs meet manufacturer standards and local codes.
Workmanship and Manufacturer Warranties
Workmanship warranties protect the installation labor, while manufacturer warranties cover materials. We coordinate both so your roof gets comprehensive coverage. This reduces risk and simplifies any future claims or problems.
We help you understand the fine print and ensure necessary maintenance steps are followed to keep warranties valid over time.
High-Wind and Storm Readiness
Our installations include details that resist wind uplift and storm damage. Proper fastening, flashing, and edge treatments make a big difference in performance during storms. We document those details in the project record for inspectors.
That attention to detail reduces the chance of storm-related failures and lowers the long-term cost of ownership for your roof.
Certifications You Can Trust
972-979-6197 connects you to a certified rep who will review your warranty and certification options. We maintain training and certifications to match the manufacturer standards required for full coverage and best results.
Choosing certified contractors helps avoid voided warranties, missed requirements, and costly rework. We keep everything on track and transparent.
Project Management, Safety, and Ongoing Maintenance

Good project management means your job finishes on time and on budget. We assign a dedicated project manager who coordinates crews, deliveries, and inspections. That central contact keeps the project simple and predictable.
Safety is always on our checklist. We run site safety plans, provide fall protection, and keep job sites tidy so your property and people stay safe during work.
Clear Scheduling and Communication
We provide realistic schedules and regular updates so you know what to expect. We communicate with facility managers about access, staging, and any noise or temporary disruptions so your operations stay steady.
Our simple, consistent updates mean fewer surprises and a smoother project from start to finish.
Maintenance Plans that Save Money
Regular inspections and minor repairs prevent big problems. We offer maintenance plans that include seasonal checks and documented repairs. These plans help roofs reach their full lifespan and reduce the chance of unexpected leaks.
Simple maintenance pays off with lower repair costs and better long-term performance for the roof and building systems below it.
Safety and Compliance
972-979-6197 is the quickest way to request safety documentation and proof of compliance for a planned project. We follow local codes, OSHA rules, and manufacturer installation standards for every job.
Our crews are trained and insured, and we maintain records so you have proof of safe, correct work for audits or compliance reviews.
