Kawalek Paul Roofing & Painting | Painters & Roofing in Miami Shores, FL 33150

Our high humidity, salt air, and intense sun can rapidly degrade traditional flashing materials, leading to cracks and separation that cause leaks. We fix this by removing the compromised flashing, preparing the surface, and installing new, high-grade aluminum or galvanized steel flashing sealed with premium, UV-resistant caulking to withstand our local conditions and prevent future water intrusion.

The black streaks are actually a hardy algae called Gloeocapsa magma that thrives in our warm, moist climate. We use a professional, low-pressure soft wash system with EPA-approved cleaning agents that kill the algae at the root without damaging your shingles. To inhibit regrowth, we can apply a zinc or copper strip near the roof ridge, which releases ions that prevent algae colonization with each rain.

Absolutely. As a full-service roofing and painting contractor, we provide a complete solution. First, our roofing team will permanently repair the leaking flashing. Then, our painting specialists will properly dry, seal, and repaint any water-damaged interior ceilings or walls, matching your existing finish. This integrated approach saves you time and ensures a seamless, high-quality result for your entire home.
