Company Overview
Somay in Miami, Florida, began in the 1920s when founders Sy and Myrtle Greene supplied raw materials to professional painters. The company's focus shifted after the devastating 1926 hurricane, when local authorities urgently needed a solution for widespread roof leaks. Responding directly to this community crisis, the Greenes developed a specialized waterproofing product, transforming Somay into a dedicated manufacturer of protective paints and coatings. For nearly a century since that pivotal moment, Somay has been committed to providing Miami with high-quality interior and exterior paints, along with residential and commercial waterproofing roof coatings, driveway paints, and moisture control solutions. The family's founding principle—'Don’t replace your roof when you can repair it'—remains central to their mission, offering durable alternatives like their strong Elastomeric Roof Mastic for shingle and tile roofs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can Somay help with roof damage from Miami storms and debris?
Yes, absolutely. Somay was founded in direct response to the 1926 Miami hurricane, giving us deep, local experience with storm-related roof issues. For damage from debris or high winds that causes leaks but doesn't require a full replacement, our specialized Elastomeric Roof Mastic provides a strong, flexible waterproofing seal. We assess the damage and apply our coatings to protect your home from further water intrusion, a common and urgent need after our South Florida weather events.
What is involved in your moisture control installation and repair services?
Our moisture control services address both prevention and problem-solving. For installation, we apply specialized coatings and sealants to areas prone to dampness, creating a durable barrier against water infiltration. For repair, we first diagnose the source of the moisture—whether from a roof leak, poor ventilation, or another issue—then use our manufacturer-grade products to seal it effectively. This process helps prevent mold growth and structural damage, which is crucial in Miami's humid climate.
How does waterproofing repair differ from a full roof replacement?
Waterproofing repair focuses on sealing and protecting your existing roof structure. Using products like our Roof Mastic, we can address specific leaks, cracks, or worn areas with a thick, elastomeric coating that expands and contracts with temperature changes. This is often a more cost-effective and faster solution than a full tear-off, especially for roofs that are structurally sound but have developed vulnerabilities. Our approach aligns with our long-standing advice: 'Don’t replace your roof when you can repair it.'
