As a project manager Zach did a very good job and he let me know every detail of what he was doing as a grade A for his work thank you.
Universal Roof and Contracting just completed installation of my new roof, and I am more than satisfied with the job they did! Spence, the project manager, was on the job-site every day, and made sure the entire process went smoothly, and on time. He was always available to answer any of my questions, and was a pleasure to work with! I just spoke with the building inspector, and he said our roof was the first one he passed today. He also said that Universal always does things the right way. I would highly recommend Universal Roof!
Mike Ramos was courteous, friendly and very patient to many questions
We had some roof damage from hail and Ken came out looked it over and gave us a great price on the roof. As we anticipated there was a lot of damage that was unseen until the old roof was removed. Ruben and his crew fixed all the damage and still got the roof done as scheduled, we were billed at a very reasonable rate for the additional work and are extremely please with our new roof. Those guys worked their tails off. This is the third time I used Universal and they are the only people who I will use in the future. The last time was when the 3 hurricanes came over Orlando (2005? i think) and they redid my roof on our old house then, we since moved and the old house is a rental now and the roof is still in great shape. My wife was wanting new windows and we had Universal replace them and the outside noise reduction and ease of cleaning were great. Thank you Universal for another job well done
Everything from this company been great ,Corey was great explaining and quoting the roof and after the job was asigned to MR Anderson on the site everything went fast ,safe and clean. Mr.Anderson was very professional,polite,quick solving questions and situation that arise ,always on time and available for questions.Also very careful ,and attentive to the workers on the heat,as a US army veteran I will say,MR Anderson beside all that and bilingual is an example of leadership.Keep the Great work.Lasr but not least Raven Montero great link between site manager company and owner.Great team work.Thanks again
A 5 star team from Universal Roof and especially Anderson and his leadership and expertise . They were quite impressive. We have a complicated roof with steep inclines and 2 buildings one with a gambrel roof. Their team arrived promptly at 6:30 am and worked harder than I have ever seen any team work. They stayed late and each night everything was perfectly cleaned up on the property and they arrived again the next day at 6:30 am to continue . Watching them was better than Cirque du Soleil! They are truly skilled and worth what they charge. Their communication from the front office is excellent and we always knew well in advance what was next in the process. I can't recommend them enough and thank you to Anderson for making sure our new roof was perfect.
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.
Roof was replaced as scheduled and additional issues that were found were also taken care of. Project manager was Zach and he kept me informed of all work progress. Very efficient and I'm totally satisfied.

About Orange City
Orange City is an incorporated city in Volusia County. In 1875 seven men bought about 5,000 acres and started the town, and it was incorporated on August 26, 1882, named for the thousands of acres of orange groves planted in and around it. Twelve years later, the Big Freeze wiped out those groves.
The 1876 Heritage Inn, the town's first hotel, begun in 1875, is still open for business. Town Hall, built in 1928 in the style of a New England town hall, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2002. The 2020 Census counted 12,632 residents.
Orange City 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 Orange City rooflines quickly.
Add relentless inland humidity and Florida UV, and all of it works on Orange City roofs. Edges, penetrations and fasteners are where our inspections start here.
Storms Orange City Has Answered To
Orange City 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.

Orange City Roofing Questions
What should I do right after storm damage?
Three things: stay off the roof, photograph what's visible from the ground with the date, and get professional eyes up there quickly, because even small openings let water reach the decking. We run storm assessments across Volusia County with tarping available the same visit where roofs need immediate protection.
Is the inspection really free?
Yes — photos, honest findings, and a written condition report, free, whether or not you hire us for anything. Many inspections end with 'you're fine, here's what to watch.'
How long do roofs last in Orange City?
In Orange City plan on about 20 years from architectural shingle and more than 50 from clay or concrete tile with proper care, based on a National Association of Home Builders study. Metal life depends on the product, so ask for its warranty term. The installer's discipline matters more to those numbers than the brand on the wrapper.
