We had our second roof done by them , the other lasted 20 yrs . The company is to be trusted to get your roof done the right way, and stand behind it!
Mike from Universal came out and did a free roof inspection. He said my main roof looked fine. I told him about a leak issue with my porch addition and he used some extra flashing I had on hand from a previous repair to do a repair job on that for free during my estimate time! I was so grateful and would recommend him highly. I forgot there were good people like that left in the world! Several years later I had a leak and needed a new roof--I knew immediately who to call! Mike was still working there and coordinated the process, which went extremely smoothly and I am very happy with the results. Great communication through Raven and new gutters added as well which also went very efficiently. I would recommend Universal Roof and Mike Emrich to anyone in need of a new roof.
Initially we were replacing the roof! But then we realized that the carport also needed to be replaced! Brian was with me stop by step! He sent photos regularly and was always available to answer any and all questions! He is a very valuable employee! All the staff involved with this long process were always great! They also cleaned up!! I really appreciate all their efforts! Thank you very much! The carport and roof look great!!! Mrs. S
The project manager, Tony Contreras, kept me informed through the entire project. The materials were delivered on time and new roof installed in 2 1/2 days. Looks great. Tony was very professional and really helpful.
Mike on the sales team was super thorough with his walkthrough and accurate with the quote. Bailey was very helpful and communicative as the project lead and kept us informed throughout the process. They did a great job and were done in two days
I don't normally take the time to write reviews but I just had to complement Dustin. His professionalism, personality, and knowledge are rare qualities now a days. He is an absolute pleasure to work with!
We got 4 roof estimates. We weighed one against another and then checked reviews and the BBB. Universal stood out easily from their on time arrival of Justin for the estimate, to the itemized proposal listing everything a home owner would like to know. The price was competitive. Once we made the decision Olga handled everything from scheduling to completion and warranty. The project manager on our job was Kleanthe who brought with him a large crew of 7 men and the job was completed in one day. They arrived on time and cleaned up as they went along. We were stunned by the way they left our premises, free of debris and even raked our lawn. Universal helped us pick the color to go with the house and offered their expertise on ventilation and wind mitigation. We couldn’t be happier. We give them a 10 all the way. Even the company they used to drop off the materials in advance was great. They were careful not to damage our property and were very pleasant. The dumpster company they used was also careful not to damage our driveway. This company is a class act and we were told if ANYTHING should arise, call them and they would be out quickly to correct it. The inspector from the city who issued the permit signed off on it and added “up to code, and beautifully done. Good job.” That’s what one likes to hear. Universal offers free inspections after storms at no cost. That’s service! Update: 2 years later and we went through hurricane Milton. Dylan came out and inspected our roof free of charge and to our delight, it held up in the horrible winds and rain and is in the same great shape as when it was put in! You get what you pay for! Thank you, Universal!
Universal Roof and Contracting just finished a repair on our tile roof. We chose Universal as they are one of the few that will work on a tile roof. Our sales rep, Alex Diaz, kept us up to date during the entire process. He was extremely helpful letting us know what the repair would be and how it would work. The repair itself turned out fantastic and we couldn’t be happier. We highly recommend Alex and Universal Roof for any roofing needs at your home. Thanks Alex and Universal Roof!

Ormond-by-the-Sea 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 Ormond-by-the-Sea rooflines quickly.
Salt, sun, and that rainfall all work on Ormond-by-the-Sea roofs, and edges, penetrations and fasteners are where we start every inspection.
Storms Ormond-by-the-Sea Has Answered To
Ormond-by-the-Sea 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.

Ormond-by-the-Sea Roofing Questions
Can a handyman repair a roof in Florida?
Not legally. Florida's licensing agency says roof repairs and roof installations require a state license. Ask for the license number before hiring anyone; ours are CCC057165 & CBC1258484.
How long does a roof installation take?
Most residential replacements finish in one to three days. Tile and complex roofs run longer, and commercial projects range from days to weeks by size. We give you a realistic window up front.
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.
