Since 1985, A-1 Fiberglass Repairs has been Miami's most trusted name in marine fiberglass restoration and fabrication. Founded by Idilio Gonzalez, we've built our reputation one meticulous repair at a time, becoming South Florida's oldest and most experienced fiberglass repair shop. Our team specializes in bringing damaged vessels back to life, handling everything from minor gelcoat scratches to complete structural rebuilds with the same attention to detail that has kept Miami boaters coming back for nearly four decades.
We fix what others can't - and that's not just a tagline, it's our promise. Our comprehensive fiberglass services cover the full spectrum of marine repair needs. Whether you're dealing with dock rash, collision damage, or structural issues affecting your hull, transom, stringers, or deck, our expert technicians restore your vessel to its original strength and finish. We've completed over 4,500 fiberglass projects throughout our history, working on everything from personal watercraft and center consoles to luxury yachts and even large passenger cruise ships.
Complete boat restoration represents the heart of our expertise. When other shops turn away complex projects, we embrace the challenge. Our team rebuilds hulls, repairs transoms, reinforces stringers, and reconstructs decks and floors with precision engineering that preserves both the value and performance of your investment. We understand that every vessel has its own character and construction nuances, which is why we take time to properly assess each project before developing a customized repair strategy.
Custom fiberglass fabrication sets us apart in the Miami marine market. Our skilled craftsmen create one-off parts, platforms, and components tailored to your specific needs. Whether you need a custom dive platform, replacement parts for vintage vessels, or entirely new fiberglass structures, we bring your vision to reality using time-tested techniques combined with modern materials and methods. This fabrication expertise extends beyond marine applications - we've successfully completed projects on RVs, pools, jacuzzis, and even automotive work like Corvette roof repairs.
Our bottom painting services protect your vessel's performance and value. We expertly remove old coatings, apply barrier coats when needed, and finish with high-quality antifouling paint that keeps barnacles and marine growth at bay. This comprehensive approach to hull maintenance ensures optimal fuel efficiency and extends the life of your vessel's underwater surfaces.
Operating from our facility at 3747 NW 50th St in Miami, we serve boaters throughout Palm Beach County, Broward County, Miami-Dade County, and the Florida Keys. Our expertise has taken us far beyond South Florida's waters - we've completed fiberglass repair projects across the Caribbean, Bahamas, Mexico, and the Great Lakes, demonstrating our commitment to excellence regardless of location or logistical challenges.
