Universal Roof & Contracting helped save our home from poor workmanship done by another company. A re-roof was done on our home prior to purchasing by another local company. From the very beginning we had leaks and mildew do to poor workmanship. After fighting tooth-and-nail for months with the company just to get them to come out and stand by their transferable warranty we ended up getting the state involved. The department of licensing and professional regulation requested we get a second opinion on the roof by a different company. Universal Roof & Contracting was recommended to us by a friend, one of their guys by the name of the Ben I believe came out and did a walk-around and gave us a laundry list of poor workmanship and code violations which be submitted. The company was forced to come out and correct everything on the list. Universal Roof & Contracting was punctual and professional and I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to get some work done.

Great service. Marty and Daniel were so kind and patient. I will and have recommended you all . Thank you so much for such excellent service
We purchased a house in Jax Beach that needed a full roof replacement prior to closing, and David and his team made the entire process seamless. They were able to replace the roof within 48 hours of us reaching out, which was incredibly impressive given the tight timeline. The pricing was very fair, communication was great throughout the process, and the quality of work exceeded our expectations. We would absolutely use them again in the future for any roofing or gutter needs.
What a great company. I had a roof leak that had been there for some time. The installer kept saying they couldn’t find it. David Alger came out, spotted it right away. It was in a difficult area, but he came up with a plan that was also reasonably priced. His team came out, fixed the roof, cleaned up after themselves and were done in a few hours. The entire team was so knowledgeable & professional. It’s been over a month now, and we have had a lot of rain! Not one drop leaked. Very happy. I will use Universal in the future and when it’s time, I will use them to replace the roof. 100% satisfied!
Universal did my roof and the project manager, Stefan was the project manager and they did an amazing job.
Marty at Universal Roofing is very knowledgeable, helpful, answered my phone calls, showed up on time and honest. Universal Roofing & Contracting is an excellent and well ran company. I was told of this company by several friends and neighbors that has used them in the past to replace their roofs. They replaced my roof in one day. Marty called the next day just to follow up to see how we liked the roof and to inform me on the next step about the city inspector was going to be coming out to finalize the city permit. Marty was pleasant to work. I highly recommend to use Universal Roofing & Contracting.
Great company - they keep their promises and gave me an awesome roof on my house and garage (& replaced hardee board and flashing on adjacent to my screen room) . I highly recommend them to replace your old roof …,but I’d definitely insist on my own magnet to pick up nails they missed !
Outstanding customer service, professional work from day one through the end of the project. No hassles, easy going and very caring personnel, all of them, they worked all the insurance paperwork and made this project very easy for me, no worries. Job completed in one day, well ahead of schedule, and crew left my house clean, what else can you expect, thank you Universal Roofing!
Universal came out a few months ago to inspect my roof. I knew it was old and needed replacement, but had no knowledge on how the process worked. Universals whole staff was amazing to work with and they were experienced in every aspect of their business . Any issues or concerns I had were addressed immediately. they even tarped my roof until they were ready to start to prevent any water damage on the interior. Thanks again Universal!

About Middleburg
Middleburg is an unincorporated community in Clay County. It was settled in the 1820s as Clark's Ferry, a crossing on Black Creek, and became a major military depot during the Second Seminole War. It took its current name in the 1840s and in 1858 became the first seat of Clay County government.
The 4th Massachusetts Cavalry burned much of the town in 1864. Many of its houses date from the Victorian era and stand in a historic district listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990, and the Methodist church on Main Street, built in 1847, is still in use. The 2020 Census counted 12,881 residents.
Middleburg Homes and What Their Roofs Face
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 Middleburg rooflines quickly.
Humidity, sun, and that rainfall all work on Middleburg roofs, and edges, penetrations and fasteners are where we start every inspection.
Storms Middleburg Has Answered To
Middleburg sits in the inland storm region, and the record is specific: Irma (2017) — crossed Central Florida as a hurricane; minor to moderate damage to many structures, widespread tree damage (NOAA/NHC TCR AL112017). Milton (2024) — hurricane-force gusts in Central Florida near the track; 14.83" of rain recorded near Orlando (NOAA/NHC TCR AL142024).
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 Clay County and put findings in writing with photographs — no scare tactics, no inflated damage lists.
Not sure which of these your roof needs?
The free inspection answers it with photos and a written report.

Middleburg Roofing Questions
What time of year is best for roof work here?
Any month works — this is Florida, and roofs can't wait on weather windows anyway. Given the choice, fall wins: easier on crews and materials, and the new roof is in place ahead of storm season rather than behind it.
What should I do right after storm damage?
Three things: stay off the roof, photograph what's visible from the ground with the date, and get professional eyes up there quickly, because even small openings let water reach the decking. We run storm assessments across Clay County with tarping available the same visit where roofs need immediate protection.
Is the inspection really free?
Completely. You get the walkthrough, the photographs, and a written condition report at no cost, no strings — the report is yours even if we never hear from you again. Most end with 'you're fine, here's what to watch.'
