Roofers in Ojus, FL
Roofing in Ojus comes down to one thing most other South Florida cities don’t deal with: flat and low-slope roofs on mid-century homes that hold water and bake under the subtropical sun. We’re Mercer Roofing, and we handle the leaks, the ponding, the failing flashings, and the full replacements that Ojus homeowners actually face. Every job starts with a written price before any work begins, and every technician who shows up at your door is background-checked, uniformed, and photo-badged, with their name and photo sent to you ahead of the visit. Call (754) 354-1224 for a free estimate.
Why Ojus Homes Are Different
Ojus is a pocket of unincorporated Miami-Dade filled with 1950s through 1970s single-family homes, and a striking number of them were built with flat or low-slope roofs and original built-up roofing systems. Those old tar-and-gravel roofs do not shed water the way a pitched shingle roof does. Water sits. The intense South Florida sun cooks the surface, and every afternoon thunderstorm tests seams that have been expanding and contracting for forty or fifty years. The result is a pattern we see constantly: leaks that only reveal themselves after a heavy downpour, especially around penetrations like vents, skylights, and HVAC curbs.
In the Skylake area especially, the original roofs hide problems well. A homeowner might see nothing from the ground and only discover a ceiling stain days after a storm. That’s why we rely on infrared moisture scans as a diagnostic step on older Ojus flat roofs. The scan finds trapped moisture inside the roof assembly before it turns into visible damage inside the house. Newer custom estates in Ojus often have concrete tile or metal roofing, which brings a different set of needs: proper underlayment, correct fastening, and flashing details that hold up under wind-driven rain. Different roof, different checklist, same standard.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Ojus Services
Most Ojus homeowners reach out to us for one of two reasons: a roof that’s leaking and needs repair, or a roof that’s reached the end of its life and needs full replacement. Here’s how each works in Ojus.
Roof Repair in Ojus
Roof repair in Ojus usually means finding the real source of a leak, not just patching the spot where water showed up on the ceiling. On the flat and low-slope roofs common here, water travels sideways under the membrane before it drips through, so we use infrared scans and targeted flood tests to trace it. Typical repairs include sealing penetrations, replacing failed flashing, patching blisters in the membrane, and recoating areas where the reflective surface has worn thin. We work with manufacturer-recognized brands like CertainTeed and GAF so the repair materials match the rest of the roof. Every repair carries a written guarantee, and if it fails within 365 days, the second visit is free. Learn more about Roof Repair in Ojus.
Roofing Company in Ojus
As a full-service roofing company in Ojus, we handle everything from emergency leak response to complete tear-offs and replacements on both flat and pitched roofs. That includes built-up roofing removal on the older mid-century homes plus shingle, tile, and metal work on newer construction. We carry and install Atlas, Owens Corning, and IKO products, and every project starts with a written price that won’t change once work begins. You’ll know the scope, the materials, and the cost before a single nail is driven. See how our approach works on Roofing Company in Ojus.
Roof Installation in Ojus
Roof installation in Ojus often means removing an original built-up roof that’s been on a home since the Johnson administration. That’s a messy job, and doing it right means protecting the landscaping, hauling away the old gravel and tar, and rebuilding the roof assembly from the deck up. For newer estates with concrete tile or metal, installation focuses on correct underlayment, proper fastening patterns, and flashings that survive Miami-Dade wind. We quote both paths the same way: a written price before any work starts, with every line item spelled out. Details on Roof Installation in Ojus.
