Reuben Colon did an outstanding job in supervising the re-roofing on my home. He was very knowledgeable and answered all of my questions in a professional manner. He is definitely an asset to your business and I highly recommend him for a job well done.

Universal Roofing just installed a beautiful new roof to our home. We have been so satisfied with them that this is the third time we have used this company throughout the years. Universal was so professional, knowledgeable and honest. The city inspector even mentioned that he was impressed with their work. We highly recommend hiring Universal for all of your roofing needs.

I am extremely pleased with my new roof. Tracy, Flett was wonderful during the process as was the office staff at Universal Roofing. It took a while to get the new roof in place. This was not their fault as tile is on back order. Tracy was proactive and kept me informed during the entire process. I am more than overjoyed with the outcome. The roof looks wonderful the process of taking off the roof and putting in the new roof was very easy. Tracy and his staff kept me informed during the entire process. If you need a new roof, I highly recommend their services!!!

Builders get quick bid turnarounds from our Jacksonville new-construction department on new homes, commercial properties and multifamily units. Existing communities are covered too: flat condo roofs under commercial roofing in Jacksonville, pitched townhomes under Jacksonville residential roofing. Our overview of multifamily roofing in Florida explains how we work with boards and managers.

Local conditions

Salt air and September rain on the First Coast

From Atlantic Beach through Ponte Vedra to Fernandina, salt goes after the metal parts of a roof first: screws, flashing and drip edge. A beachfront condo roof can look sound from above while that hardware is failing, so our coastal inspections begin with it.

Jacksonville averages about 53 inches of rain a year, per NOAA's 1991–2020 climate normals. September is one of the two wettest months and the peak of the Atlantic hurricane season at once. A marginal seam or vent boot that survived a 90-plus-degree summer tends to open then.

Inland, across Duval and Clay, humidity keeps a damaged roof from drying out between storms. A small entry point on an apartment building can soak the materials beneath it well before a stain appears inside.

The systems

Picking a roof system by exposure in Northeast Florida

Distance from the ocean decides more here than habit does.

Silver standing-seam metal panels meeting at a roof valley under a blue sky

Metal and stone-coated steel

The usual choice near the beach. Both handle salt better, and work by the water gets coastal-rated materials.

Shingle inland

Owens Corning shingle stays the value choice on townhome rows away from the salt, installed under our Platinum Preferred status.

Membrane for flat buildings

TPO, PVC or modified bitumen on flat condo and apartment roofs, checked closely at every drain and penetration.

Jacksonville multifamily roofing questions

Do you bid new multifamily construction in Jacksonville?

Yes. Multifamily roofing in Jacksonville includes new builds, and builders work with our new-construction department on multifamily units. Bids come back quickly, and the team brings residential roof design expertise.

What roof suits a condo building near the beach?

Usually metal or stone-coated steel. Salt wears ordinary steel faster by the water than it does inland, and those two systems tolerate it better. Away from the coast, shingle remains the value choice.

Do you pull the permits for our community?

Yes. Every city and county sets its own permit requirements, so we handle permits on each project instead of leaving them to the board or manager.

How long have you roofed in Northeast Florida?

More than 25 years, from the office on Philips Highway. We install metal, stone-coated steel, Spanish tile, shingle and flat systems, so the system can be matched to each building's exposure.
