Lifetime Workmanship WarrantyMolsbee Roofing fixes roof leaks in Atlantis, starting with a free inspection that traces the water to where it enters and ending with a written repair price. We ask about earlier repairs and check the flashings, penetrations and roof-level changes above the stain before recommending work.
Atlantis is its own city inside the shared 33462 postal area, with a Building Department on Orange Tree Drive, so the repair is permitted there, not in Lantana. Roof repairs are exempt from the city's Architectural Review Committee, so a repair does not wait for a committee date.
The stain on the ceiling is often downstream of the real problem: a failed wall flashing, a pipe penetration or the joint where one roof level meets another. We match the inside location to those details above it and to the roof's repair history.
The photographs show you the likely entry point and whether the roofing around it is sound enough to take a repair.
The price names the repair area, the materials going back in, the city permit and disposal through Waste Pro, the only hauler the city allows. Where the leak may have soaked the deck underneath, the scope says how hidden damage found once the area is open will be photographed, priced and approved before we continue.
You see the full figure before work starts, so the invoice holds no surprises.
The median Atlantis house was built in 1978, according to Census housing data, so the roof above it may be an original or a later replacement. That makes earlier re-roofs, repairs and additions worth asking about, but age alone does not decide the repair.
We inspect the covering, document the defect, and tell you how the repairs on record count under the quarter-roof rule.
Atlantis is a gated city with camera gatehouses, so before the visit we confirm how the roofer gets in and who can approve the work, whether the house is near Atlantis Country Club, on Muirfield Drive or elsewhere inside the gates. Tell us where the water shows, when it appears and whether the roof has had earlier repairs, and the inspection starts at the connections above that spot.
For work in Atlantis, confirm requirements with the building department responsible for the property and complete any required historic or HOA review before ordering materials or beginning work.
Atlantis is a gated city of about 1,200 homes with its own building department on Orange Tree Drive, and it permits every exterior alteration, even painting. A roof application goes through the Municipal Online Services portal with the contract, two surveys, two sets of photos and two sets of product approvals; incomplete applications are refused. Contractors hold a city business tax receipt, work Monday to Saturday 7:30 to 6, and debris leaves only through Waste Pro.
Roof repairs are exempt from the Architectural Review Committee; other exterior work is approved by the committee before the permit, and we schedule a full re-roof that way. It meets the first and third Wednesdays at 8:30 am.
The city sits inland in the 160 mph design wind band and the wind-borne debris region, and under the new coverings we build, a self-adhered secondary water barrier seals the deck.
Molsbee Roofing was a pleasure to work with. While waiting for new roof tiles, they immediately showed up to repair existing leak so that no further damage would occur while waiting for new roof installation. They were in constant communication and we're pleased with our new roof.Read on Google
Molsbee Roofing installed my roof in West Palm Beach. From beginning to end they were extremely professional and their communication was above par. I would recommend them for all your roofing needs.Read on Google
We signed or completed a few roofing jobs with an Atlantis address over the last twelve months.

The City of Atlantis. The shared 33462 ZIP is a postal designation, not a common building authority, so the repair is permitted by the Atlantis Building Department on Orange Tree Drive rather than by Lantana.
Roof repairs are exempt from the city's Architectural Review Committee, but they still need the city permit, a complete application and a contractor holding the city business tax receipt. We confirm the requirements for your exact repair before we price it.
It depends on what is leaking and how far the water has travelled, so the price follows a free inspection. Refitting a single flashing or replacing a pipe boot is a small job; replacing soaked decking under a section of roof, or lifting clay barrel tile to renew the underlayment and resetting the same tile, is a larger one.
Roof type, access and the city permit also play a part. You receive a written price for your repair before any work, including how concealed damage would be handled.
It can. The quarter-roof rule considers how much of a roof system or section is repaired, replaced or recovered in any 12-month period.
Above a quarter, the roof covering across that entire system or section generally must be replaced or recovered to meet current code requirements. If that system or section was built, repaired or replaced in compliance with the 2007 Florida Building Code or a later edition, only the portion being worked on must meet applicable current code requirements.
We check which applies before we price. A typical leak repair covers a small fraction of a roof section.
We measure the damaged area, look up the roof's permit record and put both in the written findings.
Check the paperwork first. Atlantis permits every exterior alteration, roof repairs included, and every contractor working in the city must hold a city business tax receipt.
Florida also licenses roofing contractors, and you can check any licence on the state's online lookup; ours is printed on every proposal. We file the permit as part of every repair we price, so the work is on record with the city when it is finished.
Not necessarily. A single defect can be repaired if the roofing around it is in sound condition, and we explain where that boundary sits on your roof.
If we see wider wear, such as brittle material across a slope or rot at several points, we show you the photographs and price the re-roof beside the repair so you can compare. A re-roof in Atlantis also raises the committee question, which a repair does not.
