We are so thankful to the team that replaced our roof! After months of searching and researching companies we decided to sign a contract with Universal Roof. It was completed in such a professional and efficient manner. The team that completed the work was awesome. The lead was Sebastián and he communicated with us and kept us informed as needed, he and the others were very professional and friendly. We are very happy with all the work and experience overall. Would definitely recommend.

John was very helpful with everything would recommend him to others thank you for all you did John
Everything about my roof replacement was excellent. There was constant communication. Everyone was professional. And Anderson, who was running the crew, made sure that he was the last one to leave and everything was all cleaned up. Robert in sales, it was one of the main reasons we signed. He is very knowledgeable. I have already recommended them to some friends.
Dylan Grow came to check on the flashing of my chimney. He was thorough and professional. He solved the problem we had during the last big storm. He even came back to double check that all was well. And it was! Thank you for hiring such a capable employee!
I had my roof replaced and siding replaced and the entire house painted. I had a great service guy by the name of Anderson from Universal Roofing. He made sure he stayed in constant communication with me throughout the entire project. It looks great and i would highly recommend them. Greatly appreciated, Nanette
Mike Emrich followed the entire process from signing the contract with him to the final inspection. Universal did an excellent job.
Robert Collins was the consummate professional. His dedicated, conscientious, and exceptionally courteous and helpful assistance in getting a one-of-a-kind roof installation selected and installed, despite all the challenges with materials, schedule, weather and contract revisions, was fantastic. We have a roof under a roof lake side house that has a large flat area that once held solar panels for heating a pool. At 27 years old, it became problematic to buy and retain homeowner’s insurance. We now have a very attractive steel roof that will withstand Leesburg wind and rain for our lifetimes. Thank you Robert and thank you Universal Roofing!
Universal was wonderful! Our roof looks amazing. They were able to get it all done in one day, they did a great job cleaning up and making it better than they left it. Tony the project manager did a great job setting expectations and following up to ensure all my questions were answered. This is the company to go with for all your roofing needs!
2-23-24 Was happy with finished roof. Looks good. After clean-up of yard was excellent. Tony Contreras was the Project Mgr. Very Helpful, Friendly & Knowledgeable.

Universal Roof & Contracting serves Edgewood 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.
Edgewood 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 Edgewood rooflines quickly.
Combine that rainfall with inland humidity and UV, and Edgewood roofs have a lot working on them. We inspect the details first: flashing, penetrations, the roof edge.
Storms Edgewood Has Answered To
Edgewood 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.

Everything the Greater Orlando crews do runs through Edgewood: roof repair, full replacement installed to manufacturer specification, free documented inspections, storm response, commercial systems, and the roof edge — soffit, fascia and seamless gutters.

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.
Edgewood Roofing Questions
How long does a roof installation take?
Day one is usually tear-off and dry-in; most homes are shingled and swept by day two or three. Tile, steep pitches, and extra layers stretch the schedule, and weather gets a veto — but you'll have the realistic window before we start, and updates if it moves.
Repair or replace — how do you decide?
Repair when the damage is local and the roof has life left. Replace when wear is systemic — repeating leaks, widespread granule loss, a field past its span. We photograph what we find and put the recommendation on paper, so you're deciding on evidence rather than a pitch.
What does a roof replacement cost in Edgewood?
Five inputs set it: size and pitch, how many layers come off, what the decking looks like underneath, which system goes on, and the detail work at flashings and ventilation. That's why quotes-by-phone are guesses. Ours start with a free inspection and arrive itemized, line by line.
