Public Records Check
- License Found As of Jun 20, 2026, the Florida state licensing board shows an active license for Universal Roof & Contracting: CCC057165. An active license means the state currently authorizes this contractor to do this work. It doesn't speak to the quality of their work or their current insurance. License status can change, so you can confirm it's still active anytime with the Florida state licensing board.
- Registered Corporation Universal Roof & Contracting's registered name carries a corporate suffix (LLC or Inc), but we have not matched it to a filing on the Florida Secretary of State. You can confirm how the business is registered, and its current status, directly with the Florida Secretary of State.
- Business Address Universal Roof & Contracting's listed address at 5655 Carder Road, Eatonville, FL 32810 appears to be a business address. This means the company operates from a real, locatable address rather than a mailbox or PO box, which can make it easier to reach them or resolve issues. Many roofers legitimately work from a home address, so this doesn't speak to the quality of their work, license, or insurance.
- 3 Credentials Universal Roof & Contracting holds these manufacturer certifications: CertainTeed ShingleMaster, Owens Corning Platinum Preferred, VELUX Certified Installer. These show the company met a manufacturer's program requirements and may offer manufacturer-backed warranties, but they aren't independent quality audits. You can confirm current status with the manufacturer.
- Excellent Ratings Across the platforms we identified for Universal Roof & Contracting (Google, the Better Business Bureau), the blended average is 5.0 out of 5, which we label Excellent. This is a plain average of public customer ratings, not a RooferWatch score. A high average reflects past customers' experiences, not a guarantee of yours, so read the underlying reviews and weigh them yourself.
