Estimator Brian Blake was there throughout the whole process. Happy with the Results from recent roof upgrade. Selected premium materials. Job was staged two days before, and the work was completed in one day. Was an upgrade from existing roof. Was Worth the money for me and my family. With the increased Hurricane activity wanted a quality roof upgrade.
Yordanis Segura is definitely a man of his word. He was very responsive when an issue arose and was quick with a resolution.
One employee stood out with my experience with Universal Roofing and Contracting and that was Thomas. He had the ability to navigate and thrive despite his company’s challenges in communication. Where others struggled he stepped up to make a difference with customer service. His initiative in bridging communication gaps have been nothing short of remarkable. Management need to step up and give this gentleman some help. Without him it was not going well. Thanks to Thomas in the end I am very happy with the roof, looks great at a fair price.
Would like to commend project manager Jordanian Segura cannot say enough about the exceptional service from the moment we met professional courteous as well as meticulous . He didn’t make excuses he got it done. He should be valued in the company and known as one to be depended on. He came into this job after completion and rectified the issue without question a true professional Thank you Jordanis Sincerely Mr and Mrs Schneider Port Richey, Fl
Brian Blake was very professional to work with. I truly appreciate him . He went above and beyond! The new roof is beautiful. Thank you for a job well done!
After Hurricane Milton came through, we had some substantial roof damage and needed our, roof replaced. After interviewing multiple roofing company reps, we met with Tom Johnson from Universal. He was very knowledgeable, professional, and personable. He sat down with us at the kitchen table and went over everything and what to expect. The choice was clear, not just because of the price, but the fact that he knew exactly how to handle dealing with our insurance. While the whole process took a little longer than expected because of our HOA, we were never in the dark about what was happening. We also want to give a huge shoutout to our project manager, Yordanis. He was amazing!! The work crew was wonderful, very hard working, and courteous, making sure the area was clear of debris at all times. We would highly recommend this company to anyone who is looking for a new roof or repairs!
Universal Roof and Contracting made it easy to get my roof replacement. Don and Yordanis, were friendly, flexible, and kept me well informed. I’d recommend the experience to others.
I was very pleased and completely satisfied with the work and professionalism of the service I received from the representative (Dave, the onsite supervisor Yordanis, the actual roof laborers, and Marrisa, the final paperwork agent!! They all were GREAT!! Dave was honest up front and delivered everything he’d promised me. He was very knowledgeable on all aspects of my roofing project. Made sure I understood everything that would take place from beginning to end. And answered all my questions and simplified the whole process!! Yordanis really impressed me with his eagerness to get the job done quickly and professionally!! They finished the job in one day!! Outstanding work, and my roof looks great. Received soooo many compliments on their work as pass-byers walked by!! Any concerns I brought to Danis attention, he wasted no time to take care of the situation!! And made sure I was completely satisfied!! The roof laborers were courteous and very respectful. Took precise precautions, not to damage anything in my flower bed. They did an outstanding job of cleaning up!! Even in the dark! I was very impressed by their work ethic!! A superb crew!! And Marrisa handled the final stage like a champ!! She was precise and worked in a timely manner to quickly finish the paperwork so I could close out and quickly move to my next phase with the finance company!! Every phase of my project was superb!! I’ll definitely use them again and recommend them to everyone!! Sorry for a lengthy review, but was needed!!!!
Everything went smoothly especially considering I was selling my house at the time. The work was good and the communication was as well. The only reason I wouldn't give it a 5 star was the original color I had ordered ended up not being available without a special order which meant a considerable delay. With my house on the market, I didn't have the time. I have to say I was disappointed that I had to compromise on the color.

Universal Roof & Contracting serves Land O' Lakes with every major roofing service — repair, replacement, inspections, storm response, gutters, and all four mainstream roof systems — from our Tampa Bay 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.
Land O' Lakes is an unincorporated community and census-designated place in Pasco County. According to the county, the area first saw settlers in the 1850s, when it was known as Pleasant Plains. Today Pasco County has a central permitting office and a public library there.
The Southwest Florida Water Management District manages the 3,486-acre Conner Preserve, a former ranch acquired in 2003 to protect natural systems, groundwater recharge, water quality and flood protection. It offers multiuse trails through sandhill ridges, marshes, cypress sloughs and pine flatwoods. The 2020 Census counted 35,929 residents.
The weather those roofs answer to is measurable. NOAA's 1991–2020 normals for the St Petersburg Ap station put annual rainfall at 46.65 inches, with 63% of it falling June through September and 8.39 inches in August alone. Most of that rain arrives in summer storms, often wind-driven, and it finds any weak flashing detail on Land O' Lakes rooflines quickly.
Add relentless inland humidity and Florida UV, and all of it works on Land O' Lakes roofs. Edges, penetrations and fasteners are where our inspections start here.
Land O' Lakes sits in the Gulf storm region, and the record is specific: Helene (2024) — dangerous storm surge into the Gulf coast, including coastal Pinellas (NOAA/NHC TCR AL092024). Milton (2024) — landfall on Siesta Key; 20.40" of rain near St. Petersburg; record crests on the Hillsborough River (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 Pasco 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.
Everything the Tampa Bay crews do runs through Land O' Lakes: roof repair, full replacement installed to manufacturer specification, free documented inspections, storm response, commercial systems, and the roof edge — soffit, fascia and seamless gutters. Materials: metal, architectural shingle, tile, and our exclusive Metlok system.
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.
In Land O' Lakes 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.
Florida's licensing agency says no: roof repairs and roof installations require a state license. Before anyone touches your roof, verify the state license and the insurance behind it. We hold CCC057165 & CBC1258484 and full coverage.
One to three days for most Land O' Lakes homes, start to magnet-swept yard. Tile, steep, and cut-up roofs run longer; commercial ranges from days to weeks by size. You get a realistic window before work starts — and a heads-up if weather moves it.
