Lifetime Workmanship WarrantyShingle roof replacement in Boca Raton starts with checking whether asphalt shingles are suitable and permitted for the property. We inspect the deck, transitions and existing layers before writing the replacement scope and price.
Old Floresta's guidance does not prefer asphalt shingles, so a material change there needs particular review. Boca Del Mar and Boca Pointe also follow the county permit route rather than City eHub, a distinction we establish during the free inspection.
Where shingle already covers the house, in the older streets around Boca Square, University Park and Palmetto Park Road, a like-for-like shingle roof is the normal path. In the tile villages of Boca Del Mar and Boca Pointe the association usually specifies tile, so a shingle quote there is only worth writing once the association has agreed to a change.
In Old Floresta the city guideline prefers barrel mission tile and lists asphalt shingle as not preferred, so a material change needs a certificate of appropriateness first. We tell you which case applies before we measure.
Once the old shingles come off we see what the surface hid: soft plywood near the eaves and valleys, earlier repairs nailed through rot, and decking that was never renailed to current spacing. Every sheet is checked and renailed, damaged sheathing is replaced, and we specify a self-adhered secondary water barrier over the whole deck; the Florida Building Code sets its own requirements for that layer on a re-roof and allows more than one compliant method.
Deck work is photographed and priced on the line in the proposal that covers it, so the number does not move without you seeing the reason.
As a GAF Certified Contractor and Owens Corning Preferred roofer we install architectural shingles rated for this wind zone over a fully sealed deck with self-adhered underlayment, new drip edge, new pipe boots and new flashing at every wall and chimney. A porch or flat addition off the back of the house gets its own low-slope membrane and a proper tie-in, listed separately in the scope so one description never stands for both roofs.
The lifetime workmanship warranty covers the installation and the manufacturer covers the shingles, both in writing before work starts.
Boca Del Mar and Boca Pointe sit outside the city line, so a shingle re-roof there is filed with Palm Beach County on ePZB as a self-issued re-roof, with the association's appearance approval handled separately. City parcels, from Boca Square to the streets off Glades Road and Military Trail, go through Boca eHub with the plans on Boca Eplans.
In Old Floresta and Pearl City the certificate of appropriateness comes before the building permit. We have re-roofed on Ironwedge Drive and Concord Green Drive West and repaired on Glendale Drive and La Mirada Drive, so both routes are familiar.
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.
Molsbee Roofing is truly a company that functions with integrity. Merrick was very professional and made sure I was satisfied. Nicole was extremely helpful, pleasant and prompt in responding to questions / requests. Overall, the entire crew was outstanding.Read on Google
I recently had the pleasure of working with Molsbee Roofing for a roof replacement, and I am thoroughly impressed with the entire process. From the detailed initial estimate, where all available options were clearly explained, to the quality workmanship and thorough cleanup.Read on Google

Not without the city's historic review, and the guideline does not favor it. Old Floresta's design guidance 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 first, then in-kind, then something appropriate.
A certificate of appropriateness through Boca eHub comes before any permit. We price the in-kind tile option alongside so you are not waiting on a review for a material it is unlikely to approve.
Yes. Boca Del Mar and Boca Pointe are outside the city limits, so the roofing permit is filed with Palm Beach County on ePZB, where a single-family re-roof is self-issued once the product approvals are in order.
The association's decision on shingle color and profile is separate from the permit and comes first, since many of the villages there specify tile. We confirm the parcel, gather the association letter, then file, and inspections are booked with the county rather than the city.
No, and a roofer who says otherwise is leaving a problem under your new roof. Shingles need a sound, renailed deck to hold in wind, and the code requires the sheathing to be checked and fastened before the secondary water barrier goes down.
We describe the likely deck condition at the free inspection, photograph what the tear-off exposes, and price replacement sheathing on its own line so you approve it with the evidence in front of you rather than after the fact.
Roof area and pitch first, then how many layers come off, how much decking needs replacing, the number of penetrations and wall flashings, and whether a low-slope porch or addition needs its own membrane. Access matters too on a tight lot off Palmetto Park Road.
Shingle grade and color change the material line, and a historic or association review adds steps but not material cost. The free inspection ends in a written price that names each of those items instead of a single lump figure.
If the leak has one cause, a lifted flashing, a cracked pipe boot, a few blown shingles, and the surrounding shingles still hold their granules and lie flat, repair it. If shingles are brittle, granules are collecting at the downspouts, the deck feels soft underfoot or the roof has already been patched in several places, replacement is the better spend, because each new repair goes into a roof that is failing around it.
We show you the photographs and say which side of that line your roof is on.
