    With all the fly by night roofing companies out there, I will say the overall experience was great. It is not everyday or every 10 to 15 years that you have to have a roof put on your house and no one ever tells you how to go about getting it done. Of course I was skeptical like anyone should be these days. The process was professional and the communication was on point. I don't think they are the cheapest out there, but great service should not be "cheap." Do I feel I received good value, yes. I am a busy person and don't have time for contractors that don't show, give bad information or do sub-par work. Overall great experience. I was not paid to leave this, I just feel that when honest work is done a honest review of my personal experience should be rewarded.

    Universal Builders were professional, in all aspects of the roof and other damage done by the April 14th hail storm. Anthony and Jon went above and beyond in helping me with the insurance company inspector and in their explanations about what, when and how each part of the report would be done They were upfront, honest and clear when answering my questions. I highly recommend this company company for the work they did to my home.

    They are best in class. I was skeptical at first, since my first contact with them was while they were knocking door to door after a large hail storm that damaged hundreds of roofs in our area (north of Ann Arbor, MI). It sounded too good to be true (it was a homeowners insurance claim) but in the end, it exceeded my expectations.
    The job (whole roof replacement and gutters) was done last fall, with great craftsmanship by the sub-contractors and easy communication with the folks at the site (Emmanuel and Luke) and with the office staff.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Have questions about wood shake roof replacement or wood shake roof repair in Columbus or Dublin? Here are the answers homeowners and property managers ask us most.

    If your property was originally built with wood shake, many Dublin communities and HOAs — including Muirfield Village — require that you restore it with wood shake. UB Roofing can assess your property and guide you through any local ordinance or city approval requirements.

    Natural wood shake is milled from cedar and offers a classic look and natural insulation, but requires more maintenance. Synthetic wood shake mimics the appearance of real wood while offering greater resistance to moisture, insects, and fire. Where community guidelines allow it, synthetic is often a smart upgrade for Columbus homeowners.

    Wood shake roofing is generally at least double the cost of a standard asphalt shingle roof. The premium reflects material cost, specialized installation skill, and longer project timelines. It is a significant investment in curb appeal and long-term property value in the Columbus and Dublin market.

    Yes. We have extensive experience working with the City of Dublin on wood shake roofing permits and approvals. We manage all required documentation, material submittals, and inspections so you do not have to interact with the city directly.

    Timeline depends on roof size, complexity, and weather. A standard residential replacement typically takes a few days. Larger commercial projects, like the Giant Eagle in Dublin, can take several weeks. We provide a clear timeline in your proposal before any work begins.
