Great experience with sales rep Alex. He did awesome. The inspector gave issues which I understand why. We did have someone come back out to re-adhear the shingles in on area because they were lifting. They came back out and fixed it.
Repairs needed resulted from tree damage during inclement weather. David Alger facilitated not only a satisfactory repair but also provided significant documentation and professional advice that aided me with arbitration. Insurance company underestimated extent of damage, amount of material needed and listed material that did not meet Florida building code. David Alger offered his professional expertise with identifying these errors and resulted in my successful challenge to the insurance company during arbitration. A satisfactory financial settlement was reached. Thank you David and Universal Roofing.
Sean Dowel was an impressive appraiser and adjusted, he talked the talk, but also walked the walk. Of the 5 inspectors I had he was the only one who went into the attic and checked if my current ventilation even met the standards of the product. He was quick, communicated well and did an amazing job representing their company, product and services. They are obviously not the cheapest company, but when getting something as important as a roof I'd rather pay a little more for it to be done right than to have corners cut.
This company provides excellent customer service. They are honest and have good products for roofing services and offer top quality work.
URC has been fantastic to work with. I got quotes from several roofing companies and URC was very competitive and complete. Alex was very through in explaining their process/materials and not pushy at all. When time came to get to a number we worked back and forth until we made it work. Mike was the project manager on site and was equally fantastic. Gave me updates at every step of the process and went out of his way to make sure I was happy from beginning to end. Will definitely recommend URC to anyone considering a roofing project!
We are so beyond THRILLED with our new Universal roof!!!! We researched and researched… Universal literally hit the nail on the head!!! David, our Sales Rep, started the process with such ease. He brought unbelievable knowledge, amazing customer service, and walked us through every detail like a champ! We can’t say enough about David’s ability to listen to his customer’s needs and concerns; and then, tailor the perfect roof! He communicated effectively and prepared us for the process. It was seamless!!! Next, we must thank the office staff! The handoff went so smoothly. Our Project Manager, Jarrod, communicated effortlessly and managed the on-site work to a tee! Our dream roof was completed in just one day!!! The expertise of the crew and the management of the process was perfectly executed. We could not be happier with the finished product! Universal, David, Jarrod, and staff will be highly recommended to everyone we know for their roofing needs. It’s very hard to find caring, competent contractors these days - and we say that as construction professionals. Start to finish, perfection!!! Thanks so much Universal Roofing!!!
Working with Alex Diaz was absolute delight! They are kind, dedicated,and always willing to go the extra mile. I highly recommend them.
I cannot say enough about this company. Especially David, Karson and Igor. From the moment David came out to write the estimate I knew right away he not only cares about his job, but the customer. The follow up from him and Karson has been top notch and I could not ask for better service. Karson takes his time to explain next steps and calls you when he says he is going to. Igor their gutter guy is the best in the business. He cares about the work he is doing and wants to ensure no matter what it is done the right way. All three gentlemen will keep me coming back for repeat business. Thanks again for being best in class.
Alex Diaz, thank you for your professionalism. I really appreciated your assistance.

Universal Roof & Contracting serves Julington Creek with every major roofing service — repair, replacement, inspections, storm response, gutters, and all four mainstream roof systems — from our Northeast Florida office. Family-owned since 1993, BBB-accredited with an A+ rating, and Owens Corning Platinum Preferred. This page is the whole picture in one place; every section links to the full service behind it.
The weather those roofs answer to is measurable. NOAA's 1991–2020 normals for the Jacksonville station put annual rainfall at 53.4 inches, with 54% of it falling June through September and 7.6 inches in June alone. Most of that rain arrives in summer storms, often wind-driven, and it finds any weak flashing detail on Julington Creek rooflines quickly.
Combine that rainfall with inland humidity and UV, and Julington Creek roofs have a lot working on them. We inspect the details first: flashing, penetrations, the roof edge.
Julington Creek sits in the Atlantic storm region, and the record is specific: Nicole (2022) — November landfall at Vero Beach; storm surge and beach erosion damage up the east coast to Jacksonville (NOAA/NHC TCR AL172022). Matthew (2016) — paralleled the northeast Florida coast; significant wind and surge damage from the Space Coast to Jacksonville (NOAA/NHC TCR AL142016).
After any of those, the useful thing a homeowner can do is document from the ground: photograph what is visible, note the date, check ceilings that night and again a week later. Then get a professional assessment before small openings become interior damage. We run storm routes across St. Johns County and put findings in writing with photographs — no scare tactics, no inflated damage lists.
Everything the Northeast Florida crews do runs through Julington Creek: roof repair, full replacement installed to manufacturer specification, free documented inspections, storm response, commercial systems, and the roof edge — soffit, fascia and seamless gutters. Materials: metal, architectural shingle, tile, and our exclusive Metlok system.
Universal Roof & Contracting has been family-owned since 1993 — state-licensed (CCC057165 & CBC1258484), fully insured, BBB-accredited with an A+ rating, and an Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor, a tier held by fewer than 1% of roofing contractors. Estimates are free and itemized; the inspection comes back as photographs and a written report you keep either way.
Two questions decide it: how contained is the damage, and how much life does the field have left? Contained plus years remaining equals repair; spreading wear or a roof in its last stretch equals a replacement conversation, since patch money on a dying roof rarely buys much time. Either way, our recommendation comes documented.
No honest number exists without seeing the roof — size, pitch, tear-off depth, decking condition, and the material system move the total more than any average can capture. What we promise Julington Creek homeowners instead: a free inspection first, then a line-by-line estimate where the approved price is the built price.
Roofing runs twelve months a year across the First Coast, but if you can choose, choose fall: cooler working conditions, better material handling, and a finished roof standing before the next storm season opens.
Photos, honest findings, and a written condition report — free, and yours to keep either way.
