Universal Roofing did an amazing job on our new roof! From suggesting the color of the shingles, to speedy installation and clean up, to always explaining the process, the entire team was friendly and professional. We have used them before and definitely will use them again.

Asphalt Shingle Roofing in Orlando
Asphalt shingle is a common roof across Central Florida, including the subdivisions from Orlando's 2000s building boom. Done right, it shrugs off the 92° sun and storm cycles that age a lesser roof early. As Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractors, we back ours with a limited lifetime warranty under 1% of roofing contractors can offer.

Jim and Tracy and their whole crew are exceptional. So many roofers are full of you know what and sell you more than you need. Universal is the opposite. They tell you what you need and even suggest options that save money. I could go on and on however suffice it to say that Universal is the best.
Ken, our salesman, was amazing through the whole process. Everyone in the office was easy to work with and they did a great job making sure the yard was cleaned after like nothing ever happened. Our roof looks amazing and I love the color we picked! Would recommend to any friends.
Universal roofing did an amazing job. Everyone I worked with was very professional and polite. They professionally helped me out throughout the entire process. In the middle of summer it only took them a day and a half and I have a wonderful roof.
Having a re-roof is a stressful time, but I knew to call Universal from my previous experience. It's a step-by-step process which Tracy (V.P.) walked me through — from customer service, to explanation of roof products, to permits and completion. Much less stressful having an experienced company, and the roof looks great!
Universal Roofing has been a great company to work with. They just completed re-roofing our house in 2 days, even with rain. They worked tirelessly. If I owned a construction company, I would definitely want this team working for me. I highly recommend them.

Four reasons shingle earns its place in Orlando
A Central Florida staple, done right
Architectural shingle is a common roof across Orlando's 2000s-boom neighborhoods. The difference is entirely in the install — and a correctly-set shingle roof looks sharp and lasts, where a cut-corner one leaks in a year.
Built for 92° UV
Our Owens Corning shingles carry StreakGuard algae resistance (warranted for 25 years) and a wind warranty engineered for a storm state. Installed correctly and correctly ventilated, they shrug off the UV and heat that age a lesser roof early.
The Owens Corning Platinum warranty
As Platinum Preferred Contractors — under 1% of roofing contractors, per Owens Corning — we can offer the Platinum Protection warranty, backed by Owens Corning itself: a limited lifetime warranty with full coverage on materials for the first 50 years and workmanship coverage that reduces after 25 years. It can be transferred to the next owner within 60 days of a sale.
Around 20 years, install decides
An asphalt shingle roof is commonly expected to last around 20 years, and Florida heat, UV and storms can shorten that. Ventilation and a correct install decide where yours lands. That install quality is the whole ballgame, and it's what we're obsessive about.
A shingle warranty backed by the maker, not just the roofer.
As Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractors — a tier Owens Corning says is held by under 1% of roofing contractors — we can offer the Platinum Protection warranty, backed by Owens Corning itself: a limited lifetime warranty with full TRU PROtection coverage on materials for the first 50 years, plus workmanship coverage that is lifetime but reduces after 25 years. More than half of new construction businesses close within ten years (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics), so a warranty that leans on your contractor alone is worth less than one the manufacturer stands behind. It can also be transferred to the next owner within 60 days of a sale.
Our certifications
Which shingle is right for your home?
Architectural
Thicker, layered shingles with depth and shadow lines that mimic wood shake or slate. They carry more weight per square and are what we install on most homes.
3-tab
The classic flat, uniform shingle — the most economical option, still America's baseline. Lighter-duty than architectural, and a fit where budget leads the decision.
Designer / luxury
The premium tier: oversized, multi-dimensional shingles that read like natural slate or shake from the curb.
Five steps. Zero surprises.
The same streamlined process on every roof — from an accurate quote to an impeccable installation.

How much does a shingle roof cost in Orlando?
Asphalt shingle is the most budget-friendly full roof we install. The number moves with your roof's size, pitch, tear-off layers and the shingle line you choose, so every project starts with a free inspection and a written, itemized quote. Financing is available. Comparing quotes? Our Florida roof buyer's checklist covers the five questions to ask any roofer.
How long does a shingle roof last in Orlando?
An asphalt shingle roof is commonly expected to last around 20 years, and Orlando's sun, UV and storms can shorten that. Ventilation and installation quality decide where yours lands. Our Owens Corning Platinum Protection warranty is a limited lifetime warranty: full coverage on materials for the first 50 years, and workmanship coverage that reduces after 25 years.
What is Owens Corning Platinum Preferred?
It's a certification Owens Corning says is held by under 1% of roofing contractors. That status is what lets us offer the Platinum warranty — where the coverage is backed by Owens Corning itself, not just by us. On a roof, a warranty the manufacturer stands behind is worth far more than one that leans on the contractor alone.
Architectural or 3-tab shingles for my Orlando home?
We install architectural on most homes — they're thicker and mimic wood shake or slate. 3-tab is lighter-duty and the most economical, a fit where budget leads. Designer shingles are the premium tier, oversized and multi-dimensional. We'll bring samples.
Do you repair shingle roofs too?
Yes — wind-lifted tabs, storm-torn sections and granule-loss repairs are all work we handle. If a repair is the right call rather than a replacement, we'll tell you so at the free inspection.
The workhorse roof, done the way it should be.
A free inspection, real shingle samples against your own walls, and an Owens Corning Platinum warranty most Orlando roofers can't offer.
