Molsbee roofing did a fantastic job on my cement tile roof. Merrick and Nicole were very communicative throughout the entire process. Can't thank them enough. If you are shopping for a roof look no further!Read on Google

Boynton Beach · Flat roof repair and replacement
Molsbee Roofing repairs and replaces flat roofs in Boynton Beach, in TPO and modified bitumen, on condo buildings, houses and shops. Every inspection covers the full membrane, each drain and scupper, and the flashing where the roof meets a wall; it is free, and it comes with photographs and a written price for either a repair or a new roof.
In Sterling Village and Leisureville the flat roof usually belongs to the association, so the report is written building by building for the board; on the older houses around Ocean Avenue it is often a single section over a Florida room or garage. Our shop is in Lake Worth Beach, a short drive up Federal Highway.

Before the work starts
Before flat roof work in Boynton Beach
Leisureville flat roofs: one membrane, one building at a time
A flat roof on a Sterling Village or Leisureville building usually fails at a seam, a drain, a scupper or the tie-in to a parapet, and a membrane that has been patched over and over is usually past saving. When the board decides to replace, we take the roof down to the deck, fix what the tear-off shows and install a TPO single-ply membrane with heat-welded seams, doing the whole building as one job.
Residents get the schedule in writing, and the board gets every photograph we take.
Chapel Hill Florida rooms and garages: rebuild the tie-in
On the older houses near Ocean Avenue and in Chapel Hill, the flat roof over a Florida room or garage was often added after the main house, and the junction is where it leaks: the shingle drains onto the membrane, the water runs to the wall and gets behind flashing set too low. Our fix is to take the junction apart, carry fresh membrane well up the wall behind new counter-flashing, and lay the shingle back over a new apron.
A small section like this, with walls to turn, is usually done in modified bitumen and priced on its own sheet.
Ponding on Boynton flat roofs: fix the drainage first
If a flat roof still holds water days after a storm, something is stopping it draining: a sag in the deck, a clogged drain, or a scupper sitting above the low point. The membrane fails first under that puddle.
We clear the path and, where the deck has sagged, add tapered insulation so the water falls toward the outlet. On a replacement we correct the slope before the new membrane goes down, because a new roof over the same low spot ponds again.
Along the Intracoastal we replace rusted edge metal and termination bar instead of sealing over them.
When a patch is enough on a Boynton flat roof
Small, local failures, such as a split seam, a drain that has pulled loose or one wall flashing, get repaired. When the membrane is layered with old coatings, the insulation under it is wet, or the deck flexes underfoot, patching is money lost and we price a replacement.
Where a permit is needed, a licensed roofer files it on the city's SagesGov portal, and for a house or duplex it issues on upload. Inspections follow the layers, sheathing, roof metal and final, and a licensed roofer may cover some of those stages with a notarized affidavit and colour photos.
How it works in Boynton Beach
Free inspection, photographedA Molsbee roofer looks at the roof, the deck and the exposed edges, and puts the whole price in writing.
Membrane, insulation and drainage namedTPO or modified bitumen, the insulation, the drains and the terminations at walls and edges are written into the proposal.
Permit through SagesGovWe file the roofing permit with the City of Boynton Beach Building Division through SagesGov and keep the paperwork aligned with the approved design.
Tear-off, deck, membraneThe old system comes off, the deck is checked, then the membrane is laid, seamed and terminated, with the drainage checked before we leave.

Permits and code
Permits in Boynton Beach
For work in Boynton Beach, confirm requirements with the building department responsible for the property and complete any required historic or HOA review before ordering materials or beginning work.
Boynton Beach runs an instant permit process for roofing: on SagesGov, a licensed roofing contractor's one- and two-family re-roof is issued automatically once the documents are uploaded and the fee is paid. That puts the schedule in the roofer's hands, not the city's, so the question to ask is which week the tear-off lands.
Inspections are booked by 3 pm the day before and run progressively: sheathing, tin tag or roof metal, and final. Under the city's amendment a licensed roofer may substitute a notarized affidavit with colour photos for the sheathing re-nail, roof metal and underlayment checks; we tell you which one applies to your roof. The mainland is 160 mph and the Intracoastal frontage 170 mph.
Local conditionsBuilt for Boynton Beach
- The Intracoastal at the edge
- The waterway separates the city from Ocean Ridge, Briny Breezes, Gulf Stream and Manalapan. East of Federal Highway the Marina District and the streets toward the water take the 170 mph design speed.
- Houses from 1976, villages from 1966
- The median home in 33435 dates to 1976; in 33426 to 1986. Sterling Village's 840 units went up in 1966 and 1967, and Leisureville and Hampshire Gardens are of the same generation.
- Shared roofs in the condo villages
- In Sterling Village and Leisureville one roof often serves several owners, so the association's decision on timing and material comes before the instant permit, and the whole building is done as one.

Flat roof repair and replacement questions in Boynton Beach
What goes into the price of a Boynton Beach flat roof job?
Our Boynton flat-roof repairs are too few for a town figure, so the range shown above is county-wide: every repair we signed in Palm Beach County last year, flat roofs among them. A drain or wall flashing sits at the low end; a rebuilt tie-in or a section of new membrane sits higher.
A full replacement is priced from the measured roof, the system, the insulation and any deck work, and it is written down after the free inspection.
Should a handyman patch the flat roof over my Boynton Florida room?
No; hire a licensed roofing contractor. In Boynton Beach the instant re-roof permit on SagesGov is issued to licensed roofing contractors, so a repair big enough to need a permit has to be filed by one.
Beyond the paperwork, a flat roof is unforgiving: a seam welded badly or a membrane stopped short of the wall leaks again with the next storm. Ask for the state licence number and check it before anyone goes up; ours is CCC1327429.
What does Florida's new roof law mean for a flat roof in Boynton Beach?
It changed how larger repairs are treated. The quarter-roof rule considers how much of a roof system or section is repaired, replaced or recovered in any 12-month period.
Above a quarter, the roof covering across that entire system or section generally must be replaced or recovered 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.
We check which applies before we price. We check the permit record for when the flat roof was last done and tell you in writing whether a large repair is still an option.
Which months suit a flat roof repair in Boynton Beach?
Before storm season, which runs June through November, and ideally in the drier months of winter and spring. A flat roof that ponds or has an open seam gets worse quickly once the afternoon storms start, and membranes and adhesives go down better on a dry deck.
A leak will not wait, though: if water is coming in now, we make the roof watertight now and schedule any larger replacement for a dry stretch. For a condo village, start the board's approval early so the work lands before June.
TPO or modified bitumen for a flat roof in Boynton Beach?
Roof size and what sits on the roof decide it. On a big, open condo or commercial roof we use TPO, a white single-ply sheet whose seams are welded with hot air, because it reflects the sun and covers large areas with few joints.
Modified bitumen, laid in layers, takes foot traffic well and turns up walls and around pipes neatly, so it is our usual choice on a small Florida room or garage section. We name the system, insulation and flashing in the written price, and explain why that system fits your roof.
