University is a specific kind of market. Rental properties near campus change hands or tenants every few years, and quick reroofs between leases leave behind layered shingles, skipped underlayment, and valleys that were never properly sealed. Homeowners in the newer HOA developments face a different set of rules: architectural shingle color requirements, builder warranty fine print, and boards that issue fines faster than any roofer can schedule a repair. We know both sides of University because we work both sides every week.
This page covers what roofing actually costs here, what breaks most often, and how to avoid the mistakes we see repeated across University roofs. You’ll find real dollar ranges, not “call for pricing” placeholders.
Why Tilehurst Roofing Orlando Is University’s Preferred Roofing Company Company
Tilehurst Roofing Orlando operates as part of the Kingswell family of roofing companies, founded in 2000. Every job we take in University starts the same way: a written price before any work starts. No price changes at the door, no add-ons after the tear-off begins. That’s the floor, not a premium feature.
Greg Holloway leads our team, and he’s built the University operation around a simple rule: the crew that inspects your roof is the same background-checked, uniformed crew that does the repair or replacement. You won’t see a salesperson who disappears after signing, and you won’t see a subcontractor who’s never been on your street before. When a University homeowner calls with a leak near the ridge vent on a rental off McCulloch Rd, the person who answers knows what that roof looks like because we’ve worked that street.
Our Roofing Company team tracks every University job with the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If a repair fails inside a full year, we come back at no charge. Not a prorated credit, not a re-diagnosis fee. We return and fix it. The guarantee is delivered before the crew leaves the driveway, not mailed three weeks later.
A live person answers every call, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Evenings, weekends, during a summer storm at 9 p.m. If water is coming through your ceiling on a Sunday night, you’ll talk to a person, not a voicemail. Call (850) 303-7235.

Free Roof Estimate in University
A free roof estimate in University is exactly what it sounds like: we come to your home, inspect the roof, the decking, the flashing, the drip edge, and the ventilation, then hand you a written line-item price. No obligation, no pressure, and the price you see is the price you pay if you move forward. For a University homeowner with a mid-century ranch, this usually means a full inspection of shingle condition, decking integrity, and whether the current roof has been layered over a previous roof. For a newer townhome near campus, it means checking builder-installed architectural shingles, HOA color compliance, and warranty status.
What Gets Inspected
We walk the entire roof surface and document granule loss, cracked or curling shingles, nail pops, and areas where the decking feels soft underfoot. We check valleys, pipe boots, chimney flashing, and skylight seals. In University specifically, we’re looking for signs of multiple shingle layers, which are common on rental properties that got cheap reroofs between tenants. If we find three layers, that changes the whole conversation because the full tear-off becomes mandatory, not optional.
What You Get in Writing
The written estimate breaks out materials, labor, decking replacement if needed, underlayment, flashing, and disposal. It names the exact shingle brand and line we’re quoting, not just “architectural shingle.” It includes permit costs if your job requires one. And it stays valid for 30 days, so you can compare it against other bids without a salesperson calling you every afternoon. A free roof estimate in University costs you nothing and takes about an hour.
Roofing Contractor in University
A roofing contractor in University should know the difference between a HOA-regulated townhome roof and a rental property that hasn’t been properly maintained since the first tenant moved out. We do. When you hire Tilehurst Roofing Orlando as your Roofing Company in University contractor, you get a licensed, insured team that pulls permits when required, follows manufacturer installation specs to the letter, and leaves the job site cleaner than we found it. The Kingswell Way is simple: say the price before the work, show up in the window we gave, leave the place clean, put the guarantee in writing, and come back if it fails.
Repairs vs. Replacement
Some University roofs need a full replacement. Many don’t. We’ll tell you which one you’re looking at based on the decking condition, shingle age, and whether the previous roofer skipped ice and water shield in the valleys. If we can repair with confidence that it’ll hold through the next storm season, we’ll say so. If we can’t, we’ll show you why with photos from your actual roof. No scare tactics, no upselling to a whole new roof when a targeted repair will serve you for years.
Working With HOAs and Warranties
Newer University developments enforce architectural shingle colors, and some require specific manufacturers. We check your HOA’s requirements before ordering materials so you don’t get fined or forced into a re-roof. We also work within builder warranties where possible. Adding a ridge vent to a newer home won’t automatically void your builder warranty, but the method matters. We document everything and follow the manufacturer’s installation spec so your warranty stays intact.
Trusted Brands We Service in University
We install and service roofs from GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. Seven manufacturers means we’re not limited to whatever happens to be in the warehouse that week. If your University HOA requires a specific architectural shingle color, we can source it. If a rental property near campus needs a durable, wind-rated shingle that’ll survive the next hurricane season without losing granules, we know which lines hold up best under Florida UV. For University’s intense sun exposure, we stock GAF and CertainTeed products with high wind ratings and proven granule adhesion. Tamko and Boral lines give us solid options for the townhome and low-slope sections we see on multi-family buildings. Call (850) 303-7235 and tell us what your HOA board or property manager requires. We’ll match it.

AfterCommon Roofing Company Problems We See in University Homes
- Layered shingles on rental properties near campus. Quick reroofs between tenants often mean a new layer was nailed directly over the old one, without stripping to the decking. We routinely find two or three layers on University Blvd rentals, which adds hundreds of pounds, hides rotted decking, and voids manufacturer wind warranties. A full tear-off is the only correct fix.
- Missing ice and water shield in valleys and at penetrations. Summer thunderstorms dump water fast. If the previous roofer skipped ice and water shield in the valleys, leaks show up within a season and get blamed on the new shingles. We install ice and water shield in every valley, around every pipe boot, and at every penetration on every job, no exceptions.
- HOA architectural shingle color mismatches in newer developments. We’ve seen University homeowners get fined because a roofer installed whatever shingle was on the truck instead of the color the board approved. We verify HOA color requirements before we order a single bundle.
- Soft decking hidden under old shingles. Florida humidity and slow leaks rot OSB decking from underneath. If the decking flexes when we walk it, we replace it before laying new underlayment. We quote any anticipated decking replacement in your written estimate, so there’s no surprise line item when the old roof comes off.

FAQs About Roofing Company in University
Multiple shingle layers change the job completely. You can’t properly install a new roof over three layers of shingles; the weight is excessive, the decking underneath is usually compromised, and no manufacturer will honor a wind warranty on a roof installed over multiple layers. We strip everything to the decking, inspect every sheet of OSB or plywood, replace what’s rotted or sagging, and build the new roof from the deck up. Our crew recently tore off a rental near campus on University Blvd that had three layers of shingles, rusted drip edge, and no ice and water shield in the valleys. We stripped it to the decking, replaced two sheets of rotted decking, and installed a full GAF architectural shingle system with new flashing, starter strip, and a ridge vent for proper airflow. For a University rental, this full tear-off approach costs more upfront but eliminates the hidden weight and ventilation issues that lead to premature failure. Call (850) 303-7235 for a free estimate on your rental property.
The best first upgrade is usually ventilation, not shingles. Newer townhomes in University HOA communities often have builder-grade ridge vents or insufficient soffit intake. Adding a properly sized ridge vent, or improving soffit ventilation, extends the life of the existing shingles by reducing attic heat and moisture. It costs $600 – $1,200 and doesn’t require changing your shingle color or fighting the HOA board. Second on the list is upgrading to a higher-wind-rated architectural shingle when replacement time comes, since some builder-installed shingles are rated lower than what Florida’s storm exposure demands. We’ll check your current ventilation and HOA rules during a free inspection.
Some granule loss is normal for any asphalt shingle roof, especially one that’s 8 – 12 years old. But University’s intense UV exposure accelerates granule shedding faster than you’d see in most Florida cities. If you’re seeing bare spots on shingles, granules collecting in gutters after every rain, or shingle edges curling, the roof is aging faster than it should and likely needs inspection. Heavy granule loss reduces UV protection and exposes the asphalt layer, leading to cracking and leaks. Call us at (850) 303-7235 and we’ll inspect for free and tell you whether it’s normal wear or the beginning of a problem.
No, adding a ridge vent will not void your builder warranty as long as the installation follows the shingle manufacturer’s installation specifications and doesn’t alter the structural components of the roof. Builder warranties typically cover workmanship and structural defects, not ventilation modifications done correctly. We document the installation, match the vent to the shingle manufacturer’s requirements, and keep records so you can demonstrate compliance. If your home is still within its builder warranty period, we’ll tell you exactly what we’re adding and why it won’t affect coverage. Call (850) 303-7235 and we’ll check your warranty status during the free estimate.
Yes. Every free roof estimate in University includes a decking inspection. We walk the entire roof surface, feel for soft or sagging areas, and check the attic side for water staining, dark spots, or rot. If we find decking that needs replacement, it’s included in the written estimate as a specific line item with a specific dollar amount. You won’t get a surprise “decking repair” charge after the tear-off starts. We also check ventilation, flashing, drip edge, and underlayment condition. The estimate is $0, takes about an hour, and you get the written price before we ever ask for a commitment.
