Weather Shield Expands Commercial Roofing Services to Florida
Weather Shield Roofing Systems™, a national leader in commercial roof maintenance, is proud to announce the next big step for our company: Hightower Industries is officially becoming Weather Shield Roofing Systems™!
If you’ve worked with Hightower Industries before, you already know the level of care, craftsmanship, and commitment we bring to every project. Since 2019, we’ve proudly served the state of Florida. Now, with our rebranding, we’re taking everything you know and trust about Hightower—and enhancing it under the Weather Shield name.
At Weather Shield Roofing Systems, we’ve been helping businesses protect and extend the life of their commercial roofs for over 40 years. Naturally, this next step in our journey—expanding into Florida—is part of our continued transition from Hightower Industries to Weather Shield Roofing Systems, while staying true to the same principles that have always guided us: integrity, reliability, and long-term client relationships.
Why Is Weather Shield Expanding to Florida?
Because Florida’s roofs work harder than most.
Between intense sun exposure, hurricanes, tropical storms, humidity, and unpredictable weather shifts, commercial roofs in Florida are under constant pressure. And for building owners, property managers, and real estate investors, those conditions can quickly lead to expensive roof damage if not caught early.
We saw a need—and we knew we could help.
Florida’s booming economy and ongoing construction growth make it a perfect fit for our mission: helping businesses protect their roofing investments through proactive service, clear communication, and long-term planning.
What Kind of Commercial Roofing Services Does Weather Shield Offer?
We’re not your average roofing contractor. We don’t just show up when there’s a leak. We believe in helping our clients prevent roof emergencies before they happen, which is why our services are built around long-term value, not just repairs.
Here’s what we’re bringing to Florida:
Commercial Roof Maintenance:
We offer a full suite of commercial roofing services designed to extend the life of your roof and reduce your long-term costs:
– Leak detection and roof repairs
– 24/7 emergency roofing services
– Comprehensive roof asset evaluations
– Reroofing and retrofit solutions
– Preventive roof maintenance plans
– Roof cleaning and debris removal
– Photo-documented inspection reports
And most importantly: Max Life Roof Care™
What is Max Life Roof Care™?
Max Life Roof Care™ is our signature proactive maintenance program, trusted by schools, manufacturers, churches, and commercial property owners nationwide. It’s built to extend the lifespan of your commercial roof by 5–10 years or more.
Florida’s harsh climate makes Max Life Roof Care especially valuable here.
Included in the program:
– Professional commercial roof inspection
– Preventive maintenance and repairs
– Photo reports and budget forecasts
– Ongoing condition monitoring
If you’ve ever had a roof leak spiral into a full-blown replacement, you know how fast roofing costs can escalate. Max Life Roof Care is designed to catch problems early and plan your maintenance. This program let’s you stay ahead of those unexpected costs.
Why Should Florida Businesses Use a Proactive Roofing Partner?
Here’s a common question we hear:
“Why not just wait until there’s a problem?”
Because small roof problems become big, expensive ones—fast.
In particular, Florida’s climate can accelerate damage. A missed leak during hurricane season or a clogged drain during a summer downpour can turn a $1,500 fix into a $150,000 roof replacement. That’s not an exaggeration. We’ve seen it happen too many times.
That’s why our goal is to help businesses avoid that fate. With scheduled inspections, preventive repairs, and a transparent overview of your roof’s condition, we make it easy to plan, budget, and act early.
At Weather Shield Roofing Systems, our clients get:
– Clear, photo-backed assessments
– Upfront, honest recommendations
– Detailed maintenance roadmaps
– No high-pressure sales tactics
We’re not here to sell you a new roof you don’t need—we’re here to help you protect the one you already have.
What Types of Florida Commercial Properties Do You Work With?
We work with a wide range of commercial, institutional, and industrial buildings throughout Florida. If your roof is large, flat, and critical to your operations—we’re ready to help.
Some of our most common clients include:
– Healthcare campuses
– Industrial warehouses and manufacturing facilities
– Public and private schools
– Retail centers and shopping malls
– Churches and worship facilities
– Multi-tenant office buildings
Each of these buildings faces unique roofing challenges in Florida’s climate. Our team is trained to understand the specific needs of each one.
