My family started in the construction industry over 40 years ago right here in the Knoxville area and built some of the first homes in Tellico Village in the 1980's. We brought roofing into the business when we couldn't find any professional roofing companies in Knoxville to perform roofing on our residential and commercial projects. I separated the roofing company from my father's business in 2008 and we have quadrupled in size since then. We have the industry knowledge, multiple manufacturer certifications, and award winning employees to perform any project size. Whether you need a roof repair or an entire roof replacement we can provide the professional service and quality work you need and expect.
Universal has been serving the Knoxville area for over seven years while the owner and President boasts over 20 years experience in construction and construction management. We are a family owned company, operating exclusively in East Tennessee.
