              Answered
              I had a complete roof replace, certificate of completion date was 3/30/23. My deductible was $5000 and the rest of the repair was paid by my insurance company. UCS charged $25089 to replace damage wood, shingles, vents and gutters. On 4/28/24 I was in my backyard and saw a sagging on the roof, I emailed the company sales agent *************************** about the issue, his response was (this is not a warranty issue), I responded that it was, either they created the sagging during the repair, or the sagging was there and they failed to fix it or the shingles are defective and moisture went to the wood (I provided pictures), sagging does it not shows up like that in a year after a roof was replaced. He answered that they took pictures after they completed the job and he sent them to me, with the angle they took the pictures you can not see the sagging, I got on the roof and took pictures with the same angle and you can not see the sagging, you see it from the ground or right on top of the issue. He stated again that this was not a warranty issue that this was a truss issue and that they were not engineers, I replied that how does he know that if he or an engineer has come to inspect the issue? He once again replied "not a warranty issue". I asked to speak to a GM, he replied he was going to "pass the information" this was on 5/7/24, they have not contact me. This was their negligence by either not repairing the issue when repairing the roof or a damage caused by them at the time they worked on the roof, I just want the roof fixed,

              Very professional company from start to finish. The office staff had great customer service and answered all of my questions. I was given a fairly priced estimate in a timely manner. Job was completed on schedule and left very clean. I am happy with my experience and would recommend Universal!
