Business Profile
Horacio A Unzueta is a trusted, locally-owned roofing company serving Miami and the surrounding communities. We specialize in diagnosing and repairing the specific roofing problems common to our unique South Florida climate, such as persistent skylight leaks and flashing corrosion caused by our intense sun, salt air, and heavy rains. Our approach is thorough and preventative. We don't just patch the visible issue; we identify the root cause, whether it's improper installation, weather-worn sealants, or material fatigue. Using high-quality, corrosion-resistant materials and expert workmanship, we provide durable solutions that protect your home from the elements, extend the life of your roof, and give you peace of mind during our stormy seasons.
FAQs
Why do skylights in Miami seem to leak so often, and how do you fix them?
Miami's combination of intense UV rays, thermal expansion from heat, and driving rain can degrade skylight seals and flashings faster than in other climates. We fix them by first performing a detailed inspection to find the exact failure point—often the perimeter flashing or the sealant around the glass. We then remove the compromised materials, install new, UV-resistant flashing and high-grade sealants designed for our environment, and ensure a watertight integration with your existing roof system to prevent future leaks.
What causes roof flashing to corrode quickly here, and what's the best repair?
The salt in our coastal air is a primary culprit, accelerating corrosion on standard metal flashings around chimneys, vents, and roof valleys. The best repair is a full replacement using superior, non-corrosive materials like aluminum or copper. We carefully remove the rusted flashing, prepare the surface, and custom-fabricate and install new flashing pieces. We also apply protective coatings where appropriate. This isn't just a patch; it's a long-term solution to restore the critical water-shedding barrier your roof needs.
Can you repair a leaky skylight or corroded flashing without replacing my entire roof?
Absolutely. In most cases, targeted repairs are not only possible but recommended. Our expertise is in pinpoint repairs that address these specific, localized failures. We meticulously match materials and integrate our repair seamlessly with your existing roof to maintain its integrity and appearance. This focused approach is a cost-effective way to solve the immediate problem and extend the overall life of your roof, saving you the expense of a full replacement until it's truly necessary.
