Outstanding experience from sales through installation. Universal Roof and Contracting exudes integrity and professionalism, separating them from other roofing companies. Project Mgr Spence provided excellent and honest communication throughout the installation, which I truly appreciated. I will be a loyal customer of Universal Roof and Contracting going forward and will be recommending them to anyone needing roofing work. You can trust this company to do the right thing.

Very professional company and team. They follow through with their promises and commitments. I highly recommend Universal Roofing to anyone looking for a high quality installation and team! Thank you Bailey Hinshaw for overseeing my project and taking ownership of the final results!
Cory Callahan was the person who came out and sold me on Universal doing my roof. His manner just made you feel you would be taken care of thru the process. The crew working on the roof were so efficient and worked as a team. The roof would have taken just one day but I had to have quite a bit of wood replaced. They cleaned up so well. No old shingles or trash around house and best part no roof nails. The individual who ran the job was on top of everything. A roof is a big investment and Universal realizes that as does Cory. In today’s world when you find a sales person that is trustworthy and honest, consider yourself lucky. Cory is just that person. I love my roof.
I have used Universal Roofing more than once for repairs and a full reroofing and they are very responsive and on top of getting the project done. Anderson was very helpful and kept me updated on the progress of the project even post completion. He’s very transparent and honest so you know what to expect and will provide you any information you need, including photos. I always have this company on speed dial for any of my roofing needs. Even after the project was complete, follow up continued. Highly recommend!
I recently had my roof repaired with URC. I found the process of scheduling and getting the repairs completed easy. My estimator John was very courteous, Mike Ramos who was on site with the crew went above and beyond to clean up after the fact and I found my project manager Raven to be very communicative. I also found Olga at the office to be very patient as I asked many many questions. Very pleased with the work and would use URC again in the future if needed.
The Universal Roofing crew came in at their scheduled time and finished the installation that same evening. Anderson Gomez was the superintendent of the project. The following morning Anderson came to our home, reviewed the installation, checked the cleanup and picked up any excess materials. I signed off on the project and he left.
Universal Roof and Contracting did a great job. They replaced my roof in a single day. The communication was great and professional. The price was also better than expected. I highly recommend this company and would use them again.
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!
When our insurance company suddenly notified us that we were being dropped due to some old solar panel penetrations on the east side of our roof, I panicked. Cory, Damian, and the awesome install crew from universal roofing came to the rescue! They were responsive, professional, and moved quickly to get a new roof installed in time to prevent our cancellation. The entire process was smooth, the pricing was fair, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. The new roof looks fantastic, a perfect color match, and it’s a relief knowing it’s done right. Highly recommend Universal Roofing to anyone in need of fast, reliable, and quality service.

About Hunters Creek
Hunters Creek is an unincorporated community and census-designated place covering 6.5 square miles in the southwest corner of Orange County. Orange County describes the development as 35 single-family neighborhoods, seven apartment communities, four condominium properties and one townhome neighborhood.
The county notes that the community is well known for its amenities and for the many volunteers who serve it in a range of roles. The 2020 Census counted 24,433 residents.
Hunters Creek 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 Hunters Creek rooflines quickly.
Add relentless inland humidity and Florida UV, and all of it works on Hunters Creek roofs. Edges, penetrations and fasteners are where our inspections start here.
Storms Hunters Creek Has Answered To
Hunters Creek 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.

Hunters Creek Roofing Questions
How long do roofs last in Hunters Creek?
Realistic numbers for Hunters Creek: architectural asphalt shingle about 20 years and clay or concrete tile more than 50 years with proper care, based on a National Association of Home Builders study. Metal life depends on the product, so ask for its warranty term. Installation quality decides which end of the range your roof lands on.
Can a handyman repair a roof in Florida?
No. Florida's licensing agency says roof repairs and roof installations require a state license. Verify the license and insurance before hiring anyone. Universal Roof & Contracting is state-licensed (CCC057165 & CBC1258484) and fully insured.
How long does a roof installation take?
Typically one to three days for a residential replacement. Complexity adds time — tile systems, steep pitches, multiple layers coming off — and commercial jobs scale with the building. Either way you'll know the expected window up front.
