Boca Raton far west (Boca Winds) · Roof replacement cost
Roofing in Boca Raton far west (Boca Winds) since 1975.
There are three prices for a tile roof of this generation and most owners are only shown one. The first is a repair, which is right where the membrane still has life and a single detail has failed.
The second is a lift and relay, where the existing tile is taken up, new underlayment goes down across the whole deck and the same tile is relaid: a new roof in every respect that matters, using the covering you already own. The third is a full replacement with new tile, which is the largest number and the one most often quoted first, because it is the largest job.
Those three can differ enormously, and which one is right is a question of evidence rather than preference. It is established by lifting tile at several points and photographing the layer beneath.
If that layer is sound and one detail has failed, you want the repair. If it is brittle across the roof but the tile is in good condition, you want the relay.
If the tile itself is too fragile to survive being taken up, or your community's schedule has changed, then new material is the answer. What you should not accept is being shown only the third option, and the way to avoid that is to ask for all three to be priced from the same inspection.
All three prices come from the same free inspection, and the photographs that support them are yours to take to anybody else. 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.
- Ask for all three prices
A repair, a lift and relay, and a full replacement with new tile. They can differ by a great deal, and only one of them is right for your roof. Asking for all three from the same inspection costs you nothing and makes the decision yours rather than the contractor's. A quote that presents only the largest option has not given you the information you need to choose.
- What the relay actually includes
Tile taken up and stacked, deck walked and soft plywood replaced, new self-adhered underlayment across the whole roof, then the same tile relaid with an allowance for breakage and new tile blended where it shows least. Each of those should be a line on the price, with the expected breakage proportion stated, so you can see what you are buying and compare it honestly with the alternative.
- The decking allowance still applies
Nobody can see the plywood until the tile is off, whichever route you take, so the allowance matters as much on a relay as on a replacement: a stated quantity, a rate beyond it, photographs of everything replaced and your approval before the number is exceeded. It is the one genuinely open-ended item on any of the three options and it should be handled the same way on all of them.
- Check the community schedule first
Where an association has changed its approved profile or shade since the houses were built, relaying the original tile may not be permitted, which decides the question before any pricing. That is a short thing to establish and an expensive thing to assume. We check the document governing your address at the inspection and tell you in writing what it allows before any option is priced.

Roofing questions
Frequently asked questions.
What does a new roof cost in far west Boca Raton?
There are three answers and they differ substantially: a repair, a lift and relay reusing your existing tile, or a full replacement with new material. Full replacements we have priced across Palm Beach County since spring have landed in the county's typical range; the other two sit below it. Which is right is established by lifting tile and photographing the layer beneath. We price all three from the same free inspection. Call 561-318-8624.
Is a lift and relay much cheaper?
Usually meaningfully cheaper, because you are not buying a roof's worth of new tile. You are buying the labour of taking it up and relaying it, the new underlayment, the deck work and an allowance for breakage. On a large roof that difference is significant. It is not always available, and where the tile is too brittle or the community schedule has changed we will say so plainly rather than quote something that will not work.
How much tile breaks during a relay?
Some always does, and the proportion varies with the age and profile. It is estimated at the inspection rather than discovered halfway through, and new tile is blended in where it shows least. Where the expected breakage is high enough to undermine the saving, the honest answer is that a relay is not the right route for your roof, and that is a judgement worth making before the work rather than during it.
Why was I only quoted a full replacement?
Because it is the largest job. That is not necessarily dishonest, but it does mean you have been shown one option rather than three. Ask for a repair price and a lift and relay price from the same inspection. If neither is available on your roof there will be a specific reason, and a contractor who has looked at the tile and the membrane will be able to tell you what it is.
Is financing available?
Yes, and the order matters. We price the options first from an inspection, in writing, so you know all three numbers before anyone discusses how to pay for any of them. Payment plans and state storm-hardening programmes both exist and we explain plainly which apply. What we will not do is lead with a monthly figure attached to the largest option.
