Me and my got husband got a new roof/gutter on our house. When contact Universal Roof & Contracting Tampa regarding replaced our roof. When David Roman came out to look at the roof he were very pleasant in all the detail regarding the roof he made a video showing us how the color were going to look on the house. I recommend this company and ask for David Roman he the best!!
Very happy with our chimney reconstruction. David and the team were extremely responsive and quick.
Jonathan Gil project manager was very helpful in the repair of my roof he went above and beyond I would definitely recommend this company
Universal Roof and Contracting was recommended to us by a friend, and we couldn’t be more satisfied with their work. Richard is very knowledgeable and he handled everything for us. He was very informative with the whole process and how it would go start to end. The roof replacement took less than 2 days and the crew did an excellent job. We really appreciate their work and everything they did for us. Update: Wanted to do a quick update on my review 2 months after the install. I had a concern on my roof, and after sending an email, I got reached out by Yordanis who came to inspect the roof on the same day. I was really impressed by the post installation service. I really appreciate their prompt response and for Yordanis to quickly reach out and come by to do an inspection.
Was very pleased with Universal. They were wonderful to work with and made it so easy for me as I live in CT and was selling my parents home in FL. They helped with financing and kept me in contact with the crew supervisor throughout the projects. I received constant updates and status reports, no surprises - when they saw I needed additional sheeting, they got permission from me first rather than surprising me at the conclusion of the job. They sent pictures showing their inspection findings as well as final pictures. I couldn't be more pleased with Mr. Yordanis Segura and his team. Job well done, highly recommend.
Brian at Universal was a light at the end of a dark tunnel for me and my family. Our home insurer slapped us with a 7 point inspection 30 days after our third hurricane of 2024. Brian took care of everything for us. He actually made us feel like family. Live long and prosper Brian!!
I had an exceptional experience with this roofing company. From our initial interaction, they demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism, providing clear and precise information. Their responsiveness was a refreshing attribute, always getting back to me in a timely manner and addressing my concerns promptly. What struck me the most was their punctuality. In a field where delays can be quite common, they were consistently on time, which ensured the project stayed on schedule. It's clear they value their clients' time as much as their own. Beyond just doing the job, the team truly went above and beyond. They routinely checked the quality of the work being done, making sure the roof was being installed correctly and according to the highest standards. This showed me that they are not just about completing the job, but rather about delivering the best outcome possible. Their dedication to quality and customer satisfaction really sets them apart. I would strongly recommend this roofing company to anyone who values professionalism, responsiveness, and exceptional workmanship.
Dakota was excellent at explaining what was needed and service cost. Other companies estimates required several calls to get the price Dakota was clear with in the beginning. Yordanis Segura was the project manager the team showed up at 6:30am and the roof was not only completed by 4:30pm but they cleaned up like they had never been there. I also appreciated the gutter replacement was included in the roof price. The supplies and dumpster were delivered with care leaving space for me to still park in my garage. I cannot recommend them enough.
Everything went as planned and described. Quality was great, and the people on site were very friendly. Would definitely recommend this company!

Universal Roof & Contracting serves Parrish 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.
Parrish is a community in Manatee County that began in 1850 as Oak Hill, a plantation owned by cattleman William B. Hooker. In 1869, the family of Crawford Parrish bought part of the land, where they raised sheep, set up a school and planted citrus groves.
In 1902 the Seaboard Air Line Railroad opened a stop at Oak Hill on land donated by John Parrish, and the station took the family name, which soon replaced Oak Hill. The area stayed agricultural for more than a century, but since the late 2000s new subdivisions on former farmland have brought new schools, businesses, restaurants and stores.
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 Parrish rooflines quickly.
Combine that rainfall with coastal salt and UV, and Parrish roofs have a lot working on them. We inspect the details first: flashing, penetrations, the roof edge.
Parrish 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 Manatee 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 Parrish: 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.
Two questions decide it: how contained is the damage, and how much life does the field have left? Contained plus years remaining equals repair; spreading wear or a roof in its last stretch equals a replacement conversation, since patch money on a dying roof rarely buys much time. Either way, our recommendation comes documented.
No honest number exists without seeing the roof — size, pitch, tear-off depth, decking condition, and the material system move the total more than any average can capture. What we promise Parrish homeowners instead: a free inspection first, then a line-by-line estimate where the approved price is the built price.
Roofing runs twelve months a year across the Suncoast, but if you can choose, choose fall: cooler working conditions, better material handling, and a finished roof standing before the next storm season opens.
