Lifetime Workmanship WarrantyFlat roof repair and replacement in Boca Raton starts with the membrane, drainage and connections that control water entry. We inspect for free and explain whether the surrounding assembly supports a repair or needs a larger replacement.
A roof near Glades Road may have equipment connections to consider; a porch roof has different boundaries. We identify the actual sections and the City or county permit authority before putting the scope and price in writing.
A split, a failed seam or a bad flashing at a curb is a repair when the membrane around it and the insulation under it are dry. On a Glades Road office or a Boca Pointe roof we start with a moisture survey and cores: dry insulation can be recovered, wet insulation comes out.
We show you the cores and the moisture map before recommending either path.
Many houses in the older core inside the city line, and the villages of Boca Del Mar and Boca Pointe, carry a flat section over a Florida room, a garage or a link between buildings, tied into a tile or shingle slope. The leak usually starts at that tie-in, at the wall flashing or at a scupper that no longer drains, not in the middle of the field.
We inspect the tie-in and the drainage first, and the scope names the section, its outlets and its connections so the repair holds where the water actually enters.
A parcel inside the city line files on Boca eHub with drawings on Boca ePlans. Boca Del Mar and Boca Pointe are outside the city despite the mailing address, so those roofs file with Palm Beach County on ePZB, where a single-family re-roof is self-issued.
We confirm the jurisdiction from the parcel, not the address, before the proposal is written. Village and association roof standards are a separate approval, and we collect the current instructions so the membrane colour and edge detail pass both reviews.
TPO suits a large open roof at Town Center or along Yamato Road: white, heat-welded seams, few penetrations. Modified bitumen suits a small residential section with many walls and a tile tie-in, where self-adhered plies handle the detail work.
Either way the wall flashing, drains, curbs and edge metal are new, specified for salt near Lake Boca and the canals. The install carries our lifetime workmanship warranty; the membrane carries the manufacturer's product warranty for the assembly chosen.
Both are in writing before work starts.
For work in Boca Raton, confirm requirements with the building department responsible for the property and complete any required historic or HOA review before ordering materials or beginning work.
Boca Raton is two permit regimes on one page. Inside the city line, the Building Division at 200 NW 2nd Avenue takes the application on Boca eHub, with plans uploaded to Boca Eplans. Boca Del Mar and Boca Pointe in 33433 sit outside the city, so those roofs are filed with Palm Beach County on ePZB, where a single-family re-roof is self-issued.
Two local historic districts, Old Floresta and Pearl City, need a certificate of appropriateness first. The Old Floresta guideline prefers straight barrel mission tile in terracotta and lists asphalt shingle, metal shingle, standing seam and wood shakes as not preferred; the order is repair, then in-kind, then something appropriate.
The oceanfront along A1A is in the 170 mph design wind band; the mainland is 160 mph. The code sets the secondary water barrier requirements for a re-roof and allows several methods; ours is a self-adhered membrane over the deck.
I would highly recommend Molsbee Roofing! Nicole the office manager was keeping us informed from beginning to end, was extremely professional and excellent customer service throughout the entire process. They had a great team working on our roof and we are completely satisfied!Read on Google

Palm Beach County, on ePZB. Boca Del Mar and Boca Pointe sit outside the Boca Raton city line, so a re-roof there is self-issued through the county rather than filed on Boca eHub.
We confirm the parcel before applying, pull the county's inspection requirements for the roof section involved, and handle any village or association review separately, because the association approves appearance and access while the county inspects the roof.
Roof drawings, the equipment list and service history, any leak log with dates and locations, and the access rules for the building. With those we map the roof by section, mark every curb and penetration and agree in writing which buildings and sections are included.
A survey of a multi-tenant roof off Glades Road or Yamato Road then produces a scope a board or owner can compare line by line, not a total that assumes coverage of roofs nobody inspected.
Often, yes, when the defect is local and the insulation around it is dry; then a seam, flashing or drain repair is the right call. Widespread wet insulation moves the answer to replacing that section.
Florida's quarter-roof rule: when more than a quarter of a roof system or section is repaired, replaced or recovered in any 12-month period, the roof covering across that entire system or section must be replaced or recovered to meet current code requirements. An exception applies 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 repaired, replaced or recovered must meet applicable current code requirements.
Our inspection helps determine which applies to your roof. Core cuts decide it, and you see them first.
No. Water that stands for days after rain is a drainage problem first: a blocked scupper, a settled low spot or a drain connection that has let go.
We trace the route to its intended outlet and check the insulation beneath the pond before deciding. If the membrane is sound, the fix is the drain or tapered crickets; if the pond has soaked the insulation, that area is replaced.
Recovering over a pond without fixing the drainage leaves the same problem under a new surface.
By area, by how much wet material comes out, by the number of walls, curbs and penetrations, by the drainage work and by access. A recover over dry insulation costs less than a tear-off; a small residential section in Boca Del Mar with a tile tie-in costs more by roof area than an open commercial field, because the detail work is where the labour is.
The inspection is free, financing is available on approved credit, and the written price names the sections included and how concealed conditions are handled.
