When it comes to a roof replacement, Solatube install, chimney rebuild/paint, chimney cover / cap replacement, & gutter install, my wife & I absolutely recommend Universal Roof & Contracting (“URC”) to do/oversee the work! Our initial impression was that URC was too big of a brand to want to serve our needs. Now, based on our recent experience, we were left w/the impression that the URC team ultimately seeks opportunities to provide households exceptional personal service – they just happen to use roofing & contracting as a means to do so. If we had to summarize URC in 3-phrases: Customer-focused, Value-added service provider, Problem-solvers. If further details are needed on why we feel this way: - Shingle Brands - Based on our research, Owen Corning’s (“OC”) Duration product & warranties are hard to beat in this industry. - Shingle Brand Partner Status - URC has earned OC’s lofty Platinum Partner status, which not only provides them the latest training, guidance & support, it also provides the end customer added warranty coverage, along w/designer shingle options at no additional costs. - Workmanship: Attention to detail is evident in all the various services that URC provided us. - Cost: Of the 6-roofers we vetted, URC’s quote was in the middle – however, the added services we received from URC really made going w/them a high value experience. Think “Costco-of-roofers,” w/added touches like seamless subcontractor/product coordination, roof vent boot guards, & 1-all bundled price w/no “nickel-&-diming” options. - Service: URC’s administrative & roof install teams were consistently respectful, productive, & committed to doing high quality work. Re: their subcontractors, we experienced the same. When there were shortfalls made, every URC team member involved was quick to take ownership & address. - Sales: Andy Sims was very personable, understanding, & willing to educate us so that we could effectively do our due diligence in shopping for a new roof. - Installation: Sebastian Acevedo, our project mgr., led both URC’s roofing team & subcontractors well so that all work was efficiently & meticulously done. At the same time, Sebastian made sure he was intune w/any unease felt, addressed our concerns, & kept us aware throughout the process w/texts & pictures. - Overall Oversight: Brian Bower, Production Mgr who the project mgrs. report to, stepped forward when, late in the process, a couple of contract changes needed to be added, which came with sizable, yet necessary, cost increases. * Refreshingly, Brian shared how he & URC could learn & grow from this experience so that future customers could be spared from preventable surprises. In turn, Brian took accountability & ownership to address the situation for us. * We often felt that Brian made it his personal mission to ensure we were 100% happy throughout the process – including even executing some of the installation himself. In doing so, Brian exceeded our high expectations. In closing, we had a very positive experience w/URC, especially given all the work we had done. It serves as an example of how everyone at URC impressively carries – & executes – the same mission & high standards its founder has lived by & established for his company many years ago. We now see why they have been in business & going strong for 30+ years. Kudos URC!

A new roof is always worrisome. The cost and time always seems to vary. This company made everything so incredibly easy to understand. The cost was affordable, everyone showed up when they said they would, and they finished when they said they would. I was in constant contact with the sales manager, Bill Fuqua, even 2 weeks after. Extremely professional. Everything was cleaned up and just as good as when they got here. Best roofing company in Florida, period! Highly recommend.

About Daytona Beach Shores
Daytona Beach Shores is an incorporated city in Volusia County. Local business leaders organized it in 1960, convinced that a smaller community could provide better services, and it was incorporated on April 22 of that year. It sits on the barrier island directly south of Daytona Beach, with the Atlantic Ocean on the east and the Halifax River on the west.
The city has 5.5 miles of beach. It saw a large condominium building program in the 1970s and 1980s, and about 90 percent of its residents now live in high-rise condominiums along the ocean. It describes itself as a resort and retirement community with no schools or manufacturing. The 2020 Census counted 5,179 residents.
Daytona Beach Shores Homes and What Their Roofs Face
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 Daytona Beach Shores rooflines quickly.
Salt, sun, and that rainfall all work on Daytona Beach Shores roofs, and edges, penetrations and fasteners are where we start every inspection.
Storms Daytona Beach Shores Has Answered To
Daytona Beach Shores 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 Volusia 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.

Daytona Beach Shores Roofing Questions
Repair or replace — how do you decide?
The test is scope and remaining life: contained damage on a healthy roof gets repaired; spreading wear, leaks that keep finding new paths, or a roof in its final stretch gets a replacement conversation, because repeated patching on a failing roof adds up. Our recommendation always arrives in writing, with photos.
What does a roof replacement cost in Daytona Beach Shores?
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 Daytona Beach Shores homeowners instead: a free inspection first, then a line-by-line estimate where the approved price is the built price.
What time of year is best for roof work here?
Exterior work runs year-round in Florida, but fall is the sweet spot for big projects — easier on crews and materials, and it puts a sound roof over you before the next storm season instead of after it.
