Work started on schedule and is in progress. Our sales manger Justin Feb and our project manager Tony Contreras are top notch, very experienced, responsive and maintained communication the entire way. The installation teams are also experienced, hard working and professional.
tony contreras Was is my project manager amazing at my parents house
Had a great experience with Universal and Mike our project manager was great at keeping us up to date. He would send us pictures with a progress report regularly. The roof looks great as well as our new gutters. Robert our sales manager was also so easy to work with and had taken the time to really educate us on our options. This was overall a great experience.
They new roof and gutters look great. All work was done quickly and on schedule. More importantly, all phases of my roof project were handled professionally and courteously by all of the staff. My project supervisor Brian was easy to reach and responded instantly to any questions that I had. I would recommend Universal Roofing to anyone considering any kind of roof work
Brian Spencer was excellent. Job took 1.5 days including clean up. Would recommend.
We had our roof and skylights replaced by Universal Roofing about 6 years ago. Everything looked beautiful, but before long the large skylight began leaking. When we called to request a repair, someone (I don't recall who) told us that we needed to get on the roof and clean debris around the skylight whenever we noticed leaking. Another time, someone came out and said it was fine. We cleaned the debris several times, but it never seemed to help much. To make a long story shorter, Archie Simon replied immediately to our most recent complaint, apologized for the previous advice we received from Universal, and although the skylight is no longer under warranty, he was able to give us a very good deal to replace it. We signed the contract today. Archie has been very understanding and I feel confident that he will make sure we are completely satisfied this time.
Company inspected and repaired squirrel damage. Timely, kind and efficient. Thank you!
Hurricane Milton took off a large portion of my neighbor John’s roof. Water was entering the house through the roof and ceiling fixtures. The interior ceilings started to fall in, in some places. Brian Bowers from Universal Roof and Contracting came and had a crew tarp his roof that same day. They were the only ones that responded when a neighbor reached out on Facebook for us. Due to his response, John was able to save some of his personal possessions. Thanks for saving the day, Brian!
I have owned my home for more than 40 years. I realize that the roof is the first line of defense against the elements so I had Universal Roofing install a new Owens Corning roof. Of all of the projects that I have done on my home, none have been a better story than the one Universal just completed. From the very beginning, they have been friendly, informative and incredibly professional. That included sales, office personnel and very importantly, Tony who was the project manager of the great crew on the job. This task was completed ahead of schedule with extraordinary professionalism. The debris was all cleaned up nicely, the dumpster quickly removed and my home now has much more curb appeal. The warranty that came with the job is second to none. This is an investment and worth every penny I invested in the project. Universal and Owens Corning is a People, Product and Project team that is impossible to beat! Richard Meyers

Universal Roof & Contracting serves Belle Isle with every major roofing service — repair, replacement, inspections, storm response, gutters, and all four mainstream roof systems — from our Greater Orlando 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.
Belle Isle is an incorporated city in Orange County, incorporated in 1924. The city describes itself as a residential community about three miles south of Orlando on the shores of Lake Conway.
For more than 90 years, its focus has stayed on protecting the water quality of Lake Conway through improvement projects and close watch over activities that could put the lake ecosystem at risk. Residents also work to preserve the chain of lakes and the area's oak trees. The 2020 Census counted 7,032 residents.
The weather those roofs answer to is measurable. NOAA's 1991–2020 normals for the Orlando Intl Ap station put annual rainfall at 51.45 inches, with 57% of it falling June through September and 8.05 inches in June alone. Most of that rain arrives in summer storms, often wind-driven, and it finds any weak flashing detail on Belle Isle rooflines quickly.
Humidity, sun, and that rainfall all work on Belle Isle roofs, and edges, penetrations and fasteners are where we start every inspection.
Belle Isle 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 Orange 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.
Everything the Greater Orlando crews do runs through Belle Isle: 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.
One to three days for most Belle Isle homes, start to magnet-swept yard. Tile, steep, and cut-up roofs run longer; commercial ranges from days to weeks by size. You get a realistic window before work starts — and a heads-up if weather moves it.
Localized damage on a roof with life left: repair. Widespread wear, repeating leaks, or a roof near the end of its lifespan: replacement is often a better value than repeated patching. We put the recommendation in writing with photos so you can decide without pressure.
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 Belle Isle homeowners instead: a free inspection first, then a line-by-line estimate where the approved price is the built price.
