University has its own rhythm: semesters start, leases turn over, and roofs that got ignored for years suddenly become somebody’s emergency. We know the housing stock here, from the 1960s concrete-block ranchers along 22nd Street to the newer student apartments going up near campus. We know what the Florida Building Code demands here. And we know that deferred maintenance on rental properties creates problems that don’t show up until a July thunderstorm finds the weak spot.

Why Tilehurst Roofing Orlando Is University’s Preferred Roof Repair Company

University is unincorporated Hillsborough County territory. That means no city-level roofing permit, but it absolutely does not mean the work is unregulated. Florida Building Code 7th Edition applies with full force, and the wind-load requirements for this area are stricter than most property owners realize. Our crews are trained on those specific demands, and our written quotes spell out the nailing pattern and material ratings so you can hand the documentation to your insurer without a second thought.

We’re part of the Kingswell family of roofing companies, founded in 2000, and Greg Holloway leads our Orlando operation. Greg has spent years in Florida roofing, and he’s built our University service around one principle: say the price before the work starts, show up in the window we gave, put the guarantee in writing, and come back if the repair fails. It’s not complicated. It’s just the way roofing should have been done all along.

Every technician who steps onto a University roof is background-checked and in uniform. Every repair gets a written guarantee handed to you before the crew leaves, not mailed a week later. And if that repair fails inside the guarantee period, we return at no charge. That’s the 365-Day Done Right Promise, and it’s part of the Kingswell Guarantee on every single job we do here.

Commercial Roof Repair in University

Commercial Roof Repair across University covers the low-slope and flat roofing on apartment buildings, student housing complexes, medical offices near the VA and Moffitt, and the strip centers that line Fowler Avenue and Bruce B. Downs Boulevard. Most flat roof repairs in University run $450 – $1,600 depending on the membrane type and the size of the compromised area. A small EPDM patch at a scupper or drain can run $400 – $700. A larger TPO weld repair with new flashing at an HVAC curb typically lands between $900 and $1,500.

Membrane patching and seam repair

Flat roofs in University take brutal sun. TPO and modified bitumen membranes expand and contract daily, and after enough cycles the seams open up. Our crews heat-weld TPO seams rather than relying on adhesive-only patches, which means the repair holds through the next storm season instead of the next month.

Drain and scupper failures

Clogged drains on low-slope multi-family buildings near campus are a common source of concealed leaks. Water ponds, finds a pinhole, and travels. We clear the drain, repair the membrane around it, and often add a secondary drainage path on buildings where the original design simply didn’t account for University’s summer downpour volume.

Roof Leak Repair in University

Roof Leak Repair in University often starts with a small stain on the bedroom ceiling of a 50-year-old ranch, but by the time we trace it, the real problem is usually at a flashing point: a plumbing vent boot that’s cracked, a valley that’s rusted through, or a chimney counterflashing that’s pulled loose. Most leak repairs in University run $275 – $650 for a single penetration. A valley rebuild with new underlayment typically lands between $600 and $1,200.

Penetration and flashing leaks

Plumbing vent boots and HVAC penetrations are the first things to fail under University’s UV load. We replace the boot, reset the flashing, and re-seal with a polyurethane that’s rated for Florida sun exposure. We also inspect the decking beneath, because water that’s been getting in for months has usually rotted something by the time you see the stain.

Valley and eaves leaks

Valleys concentrate water, and on older University homes with original 3-tab shingles, the valley metal has often corroded. We cut out the old material, install ice and water shield under new galvanized or aluminum valley metal, and re-lay the shingles with proper weep spacing. The goal is to make the valley outlast the rest of the roof, not just match it.

Trusted Brands We Service in University

We install and repair materials from seven manufacturers: GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. For University homes, we stock GAF and CertainTeed shingles and underlayments locally, and we can source Tamko and Boral products within a day for homes that need a specific color or profile match. If you’ve got a roof with discontinued shingles, we’ll find the closest visual match and tell you honestly whether a patch will blend or whether a section replacement makes more sense. You’re not stuck with whatever happens to be on our truck. You get the product that fits your home.

Common Roof Repair Problems We See in University Homes

• Multiple shingle layers from fast rental turnarounds. Many rental properties near campus have two or even three layers of shingles because prior owners reroofed cheaply between tenants. That traps heat and moisture against the decking, which rots from the inside out and hides leaks until the decking itself is compromised.
• Corroded flashing at vents and HVAC curbs. University’s sun and humidity are relentless on exposed metal. Plumbing vent boots crack, HVAC curb flashing loosens, and water finds its way into attics of older homes before anyone notices a ceiling stain.
• Failed starter strips and drip edges on newer townhomes. We see new construction near campus with improperly installed starter strips. Wind-driven rain peels the shingle edges within the first storm season, causing leaks that look like a material failure but are actually an installation failure at the eave line.
• Underventilated low-slope buildings. Missing or clogged soffit and ridge vents trap attic moisture. That moisture weakens decking, accelerates granule loss on shingles, and shortens the life of the entire roof. No amount of patching fixes a ventilation problem.
