Business Profile

Universal Roof & Contracting is a family-owned and operated roofing business founded in Orlando by Ken Mellick and his son, Jared. Ken's journey in construction began as a high school summer job, and after serving with distinction as a U.S. Army Ranger, he returned to the industry, eventually building custom homes for nearly 20 years. The family moved to Orlando in 1989, where Ken and Jared established the company, bringing over 25 years of combined expertise as Florida State Certified Roofing Contractors. Their hands-on experience, from building inspection to custom home construction, informs their practical, quality-focused approach for every roofing and gutter project in Central Florida and Jacksonville. Beyond their work, the Mellick family is deeply committed to the community through their Community Works division.

Common Questions

How does Universal Roof & Contracting handle common Orlando issues like roof shingle curling and mold?

Central Florida's heat and humidity are tough on roofs. For shingle curling, often caused by poor attic ventilation, we conduct thorough inspections to identify and correct airflow issues before recommending targeted repairs or, if necessary, a replacement with materials better suited to our climate. For mold growth, we address the source—typically trapped moisture—by improving ventilation and ensuring proper drainage. Our goal is a long-term fix that protects your home from the specific environmental challenges we face in Orlando.

What is the benefit of your 25-year transferable workmanship warranty?

Our 25-year, non-prorated, and transferable workmanship warranty provides long-term peace of mind. It's a reflection of the confidence we have in our installations and repairs. For you, it means the quality of our work is protected for decades. If you sell your home, this warranty can be transferred to the new owner, adding tangible value to your property and demonstrating the lasting quality of the work performed by our certified contractors.

We need new gutters. What is your process for gutter installation or replacement?

Our process starts with a detailed assessment of your home's specific needs. We evaluate your roof's pitch, the local rainfall patterns, and your existing drainage to recommend the right gutter size and style. Proper installation is critical to prevent water damage, so we ensure secure mounting and correct slope for optimal water flow away from your foundation. As experienced contractors who have worked on countless Orlando homes, we focus on a durable installation that integrates seamlessly with your roof's performance.
