How can a homeowner recognize when a roof system has problems?
All too often, roof system problems are discovered after leaking or other serious damage occurs. Periodic (twice-a-year) inspections often can uncover cracked, warped, or missing shingles; loose seams and deteriorated flashings; excessive surface granules washing off the roof; and other visible signs of roof system problems. Indoors, look for cracked paint, discolored plasterboard, and peeling wallpaper as signs of damaged roof areas.
What are my options if I decide to reroof?
You have two basic options: You can choose a complete replacement of the roof system, involving a tear-off of your existing roof system, or re-cover the existing roof system, involving only the installation of a new roof system. If you've already had one re-cover installed on your original roof system, check with a professional roofing contractor. In many instances, building code requirements allow no more than one roof system to be re-covered before a complete replacement is necessary.
My roof leaks. Do I need to have it replaced completely?
Not necessarily. Leaks can result from flashings that have come loose or a section of the roof system being damaged. A complete roof system failure, however, generally is irreversible and a result of improper installation or choice of materials or the roof system installation is inappropriate for the home or building.
How long can I expect my roof system to last in Florida?
Roof lifespan varies by material and Florida's harsh conditions. Architectural shingles typically last 15-25 years, metal roofs 40-70 years, tile roofs 50+ years, and flat roof systems 15-25 years. Palm Beach County's intense sun, heat, humidity, and hurricanes can shorten these lifespans, making regular maintenance essential.
How often should I have my roof inspected in Palm Beach County?
We recommend annual inspections, ideally before and after hurricane season (May and November). Palm Beach County's extreme weather conditions—intense UV exposure, heavy rains, and tropical storms—make regular inspections crucial for catching problems early and extending your roof's lifespan.
Which roofing material holds up in Florida hurricanes?
Metal roofing and properly installed tile roofs offer strong hurricane resistance for Palm Beach County homes. Metal roofs can withstand winds up to 140+ mph when installed correctly. However, any roofing material, when installed to current Florida Building Code standards by a qualified contractor, can provide excellent storm protection.
How does Florida's climate affect my roof?
Florida's climate is one of the harshest for roofing systems. Intense UV radiation degrades materials, high humidity promotes algae and mold growth, heavy rains test waterproofing, and hurricanes create extreme wind and debris damage. These factors make professional installation and regular maintenance essential for roof longevity.
Can I do the roofing work myself?
Most work should not be done yourself. Professional roofing contractors are trained to safely and efficiently repair or replace roof systems. You can damage your roof system by using improper roofing techniques and severely injure yourself by falling off or through the roof. Maintenance performed by home and building owners should be confined to inspecting roof systems during the fall and spring to check for cracked or curling shingles and clearing dead leaves and other debris off the roof.
Cost & financing

What will a new roof system cost in Palm Beach County?
Roof replacement costs vary significantly based on materials, roof size, complexity, and accessibility. In Palm Beach County, tile and metal roofs sit at the higher end. We provide free, detailed estimates so you know exactly what to expect with no hidden fees.
How can I determine my annual roofing cost?
When considering your roofing options, the following formula may help: Total Cost (Materials and Labor) ÷ Life Expectancy of Roof System (in years) = Annual Roofing Cost. This helps you compare different roofing options and make an informed decision based on long-term value rather than just upfront cost.
Do you offer financing for roof replacements?
Yes, we offer flexible financing options to make roof replacement affordable for Palm Beach County homeowners. We work with multiple financing partners to find solutions that fit your budget, including low-interest loans and extended payment terms. Ask about our current financing promotions.
Do you provide free roof inspections and estimates?
Yes, we provide completely free roof inspections and detailed written estimates for Palm Beach County residents. We'll give you an honest assessment of your roof's condition along with all available options. Call (561) 318-8624 to schedule your free inspection.

Do you offer warranties on your work?
Yes! All our work is backed by our Lifetime Workmanship Warranty. As a Palm Beach County contractor since 1975, we stand behind every project we complete. We take pride in our products and craftsmanship, which is why we stand behind our work for life.
What warranty options are available?
We offer a Lifetime Workmanship Warranty on all our installations. This means we stand behind our work for as long as you own your home. Combined with manufacturer material warranties, you get complete peace of mind knowing your roof investment is protected.

The roofing process
How it works.
What to expect from the first call to the final walkthrough.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most residential roof replacements in Palm Beach County are completed in 1-5 days, depending on roof size, material type, and weather conditions. Shingle roofs are typically fastest (1-3 days), while tile roofs may take 3-5 days. We'll provide a detailed timeline during your estimate.
What should I expect during a roof replacement?
During your roof replacement, our crew will protect your landscaping, remove the old roofing materials, inspect and repair the decking as needed, install new underlayment and roofing materials, and clean up thoroughly. We'll keep you informed throughout the process and address any questions promptly.
How do I schedule a free estimate?
Simply call us at (561) 318-8624 or fill out our online contact form. One of our roofing specialists will get back to you promptly to schedule your free roof inspection and estimate at a time convenient for you.
Do I need to be home during the roof work?
You don't need to be home during the actual roofing work, but we do recommend being available at the start of the project to discuss any last-minute details. We'll communicate with you throughout the project via phone or text to keep you informed of progress.
How do you protect my property during roofing work?
We take property protection seriously. Our crews use tarps to protect landscaping, plywood to shield windows and AC units, and magnetic tools to collect stray nails. We perform a thorough cleanup daily and a final inspection to ensure your property is left clean and undamaged.
What happens if it rains during my roof replacement?
We monitor weather forecasts closely and won't begin tear-off if rain is expected. If unexpected rain occurs, we have protocols to quickly secure exposed areas with tarps. Your home's interior will be protected. Palm Beach County's weather is unpredictable, so we always prepare for this possibility.

How do I prepare my roof for hurricane season?
Schedule a professional inspection before June to identify and address vulnerabilities. Ensure all shingles and tiles are secure, and flashings are intact. Consider hurricane straps if not already installed. After any tropical storm or hurricane, schedule a post-storm inspection to catch damage early.
What should I do if my roof is damaged in a storm?
First, document the damage with photos and videos from the ground—don't climb on a damaged roof. Call us immediately at (561) 318-8624 for emergency tarping if needed.
Do you offer emergency tarping after storms?
Yes, we provide emergency tarping services to protect your home from further damage after storms. During active hurricane season, we prioritize emergency calls from Palm Beach County residents. Temporary tarping can prevent water intrusion until permanent repairs can be made.
How soon after a hurricane can you start repairs?
We begin emergency repairs and tarping as soon as it's safe to do so after a storm passes. For full repairs or replacement, timing depends on the extent of area-wide damage and material availability. We prioritize based on severity and work as quickly as possible to help all affected customers.

Tile matching, tear-offs, discounts and new construction. Contact Molsbee
Can you match my existing roof tiles if some are damaged?
In many cases, yes. We maintain relationships with suppliers who stock discontinued tile profiles, and we can often source matching tiles. For older roofs where matching isn't possible, we can strategically relocate existing tiles to less visible areas and use similar tiles for repairs.
Do you remove old roofing materials or install over existing shingles?
For most projects, we recommend complete tear-off to inspect the decking and ensure proper installation. Florida Building Code limits re-covers, and starting fresh typically provides better results and warranty coverage. We'll advise on the right approach for your specific situation.
