Lifetime Workmanship WarrantyRoof leak repair in Boca Raton starts by locating the failed waterproofing detail and checking what can remain around it. We inspect without charge, photograph the findings and give you the repair price in writing.
In Boca Del Mar or Boca Pointe, a repair needing a permit follows the county process. In Old Floresta and Pearl City, we also consider whether the proposed exterior work needs historic review before changing a visible material.
A ceiling stain in a Boca Del Mar villa tells us where the water came out, not where it went in. On a tile roof the underlayment carries water a long way from the failed detail, and on an older roof off Palmetto Park Road a leak at a valley or a plumbing stack shows up a room away.
We lift the covering at the suspect spots, follow the wet track across the underlayment and photograph the entry point. The repair is written to that detail, so you are not paying to re-cover a slope when the fault is a flashing.
Boca Del Mar and Boca Pointe are eighties tile villages where the tile is usually sound and the underlayment is the tired layer, so a leak repair means lifting tile, replacing the underlayment and flashings around the failure and relaying matching pieces. In the central city, where the houses date from the seventies, a shingle roof of that age often has the shingle itself as the failed layer.
Whether a roof gets a patch or a re-roof is decided by what the lifted covering shows, and we show you the photographs before you choose.
Inside the city line a repair that needs a permit is filed with the city's Building Division on Boca eHub, with any plans uploaded to Boca Eplans. Boca Del Mar and Boca Pointe sit outside the line, so their permits go to Palm Beach County on ePZB, where a re-roof is self-issued.
The postal address says Boca Raton either way, so we check the parcel before the paperwork starts. On the east side, from the beach to the Intracoastal and Lake Boca, roof edges and metal take salt first, which is where our leak search on those roofs begins.
In the Old Floresta and Pearl City historic districts a repair that changes a visible material needs a certificate of appropriateness before it starts. The city's guideline for Old Floresta prefers straight barrel mission tile in terracotta and lists asphalt shingle, metal shingle, standing seam and wood shakes as not preferred.
The order it sets is repair, then in kind, then something appropriate, which suits a leak repair well: we record the existing profile, repair the failed detail with matching material and raise the review step only when the proposal would change what the street sees.
Whether a leak repair in Boca Raton needs a permit depends on its size, and we tell you before we quote.
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.
After the most recent major rain water began to drip from our ceiling. Preparing for the worst we called Molsbee roofing after seeing their crews replace a large house nearby. They actually had a crew here the next day, found a spot that needed repair, and fixed it before it got worse.Read on Google

Yes. The phone is answered by a person at any hour, and the first visit is about stopping the water: a temporary dry-in over the failed area, photographs and a written scope for the permanent repair.
In Boca Pointe or Boca Grove tell us about gate access when you call so the roofer is not held at the gate. A storm leak in Boca is often a lifted tile, a torn flashing or a blocked valley rather than a failed roof, and the temporary cover buys the time to price the permanent fix instead of guessing under pressure.
It depends on how much roof has to come up to reach the failure, not on the size of the stain. A pipe boot on a low villa roof in Boca Del Mar is a short job; a valley rebuild under lifted tile on a tall house near Lake Boca takes more staging and more time.
Salt-worn edge metal on the east side adds a line; a permit, where the scope needs one, adds another. The inspection is free, the photographs show you the failed detail and the price arrives in writing with each of those lines separated.
No. Boca Pointe and Boca Del Mar lie outside the city line, so a repair that needs a permit is filed with Palm Beach County on ePZB, not with the city on Boca eHub.
Many small leak repairs need no permit at all. If repairs, replacements or roof recovering cover more than a quarter of a roof system or section in any 12-month period, the code generally requires replacing or recovering the roof covering across that entire system or section 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. Our inspection helps determine which applies to your roof.
We confirm the parcel before the work is booked.
When the layer that failed has failed everywhere, not just where the water showed. On an eighties tile roof in Boca Pointe that layer is the underlayment; if it is brittle across the roof, one repair is the first of many and new underlayment under new tile makes more sense.
On an older shingle roof in central Boca it is the shingle itself. Lifting the covering at the leak tells us which you have.
We put the repair price and the wider option on the same sheet so the comparison is yours to make.
The affected section, the failed detail we found, the materials going in, access and staging, the permit path if one applies and the price. If diagnosis needs a further opening, the proposal says so and how any newly exposed damage would be authorised before it is touched.
Our workmanship on the repair carries a written warranty; the materials carry the manufacturer's. Neither covers the parts of the roof we did not open, and the proposal says that plainly so the boundary is clear before anyone signs.
