Boca Raton far west (Boca Winds) · Roof leak repair
Roofing in Boca Raton far west (Boca Winds) since 1975.
The communities out here were largely built in tile, and the tile is almost never what has gone wrong. Boca Falls, Boca Isles, Stonebridge and the neighbourhoods around them are now at the age where the layer beneath the tile is reaching the end of its service while the tile itself is in perfectly good condition and will be for decades more.
That gap between the two is the single most important thing to understand about a leak here, because it opens up an option most owners have never heard of and most contractors do not lead with. Where the tile is sound but the membrane under it has failed, the roof can frequently be lifted, the tile stacked and set aside, new underlayment laid across the whole deck, and the same tile relaid.
You get a new roof in every respect that matters, using the covering you already own, at a cost well below a full replacement with new material. Not every roof qualifies.
Some tile is too brittle to survive being taken up and relaid, some profiles break at a rate that makes salvage uneconomic, and where a community schedule has changed there may be reasons to go new. But it should always be on the table, and on a roof of this age and type it very often is the right answer.
The inspection is free either way, the photographs are yours, and where the roof needs nothing that is what the report says. Molsbee Roofing is a family business, roofing since 1975, based in Lake Worth Beach and working Palm Beach County from Jupiter to Boca Raton, licensed CCC1327429.

Good to know
What to know.
- The tile is fine, the layer under it is not
Concrete and clay tile outlast the membrane beneath them by a wide margin, and on housing of this generation the membrane is what is reaching its end. That is why a roof can look perfect and leak, and why the useful assessment involves lifting tile at several points rather than looking at the surface. It is also what makes relaying the existing tile a genuine option rather than a compromise.
- Lift and relay, in plain terms
The tile is taken up carefully and stacked. The deck is walked and any soft plywood replaced. New self-adhered underlayment goes across the whole roof. Then the same tile is relaid. The result is a new roof in every respect that matters, using the covering you already own, and it usually costs well below a full replacement with new material. It is worth asking about specifically, because it is the smaller job.
- Where it does not work
Some tile is too brittle to survive removal and relaying, and breakage rates vary by profile and age. Where a community has changed its approved schedule there may be a reason to go new. And if the deck itself has failed extensively, the saving narrows. We establish the breakage risk at the inspection rather than discovering it halfway through, and we say plainly when the option is not the right one for your roof.
- Repairs, before any of that
Plenty of leaks here are a single detail rather than a failing membrane: a cracked tile at a hip, a split vent collar, a valley whose metal has worn, or the lanai junction. Those are short repairs and they are what we quote where the membrane still has life in it. The photographs from the inspection show which situation you are actually in, and it is frequently the smaller one.

Frequently asked questions.
Who repairs tile roofs in far west Boca Raton?
Molsbee Roofing. A family business since 1975, based in Lake Worth Beach, licensed CCC1327429, working Palm Beach County from Jupiter to Boca Raton. We work across 33498 and 33428 in Boca Falls, Boca Isles, Stonebridge and the neighbouring communities. A roofer lifts tile at several points to read the membrane, photographs what he finds and prices the work in writing. Free inspections. Call 561-318-8624.
My tile looks perfect but the roof leaks. How?
Because the tile is not what keeps the water out. The self-adhered membrane beneath it is, and it ages by heat on its own schedule while the tile stays sound for decades longer. On housing of this generation that layer is reaching its end, so a roof can look immaculate from the street and be finished underneath. Lifting tile at several points and photographing what is there is the only way to establish it.
What is a lift and relay?
The existing tile is taken up carefully and stacked, the deck is walked and any soft plywood replaced, new underlayment is laid across the whole roof, and the same tile is relaid. You get a new roof in the way that matters using the covering you already own, usually well below the cost of a full replacement with new material. It is worth asking about by name, because it is the smaller job and it is rarely offered first.
Will my tile survive being relaid?
Often, and it depends on the age and profile. Some breakage is inevitable and the rate varies, so a proportion of new tile is normally blended in where it shows least. Where the tile is too brittle for the exercise to make sense we will say so at the inspection rather than discovering it once the roof is open. That assessment is part of the free visit and it decides whether the option is real for you.
Do I need a lift and relay or just a repair?
Frequently just a repair. A cracked tile, a split vent collar, a worn valley or the lanai junction are single details and short jobs, and they are what we quote where the membrane still has life. The distinction is established by opening the roof at several points and photographing the layer beneath rather than by the age of the house, and the smaller answer is common on roofs that have been well kept.
