Lifetime Workmanship WarrantyMolsbee Roofing inspects roofs in Boynton Beach for free, and you get labelled photographs and a written verdict: repair, replace or leave it alone. A roofer walks the roof, checks the attic where there is access and looks up the roof's permit record with the city, so you know how old it really is.
That matters here, because much of 33435 dates to 1976 and many houses and condo buildings have had more than one roof since. A family company since 1975, we hold Florida roofing licence CCC1327429 and keep our shop in Lake Worth Beach.
On the older houses around Ocean Avenue and Federal Highway we start at the drip edge and work up: valleys, pipe boots, vents, wall and chimney flashing, then the ridge. At suspect spots we lift the covering to check the underlayment, and where the attic is reachable we look at the deck for stains and at the roof-to-wall connections.
A flat section over a porch or Florida room gets its own check for ponding, splits and a failed tie-in. What stays hidden without opening the roof is marked as not seen.
A house built in the seventies may be on its second or third roof, so the build year says little. We check the city's permit record for the last re-roof and compare it with what we see up top.
That date shows how much of its life the covering has used, and it helps show where the roof stands under the quarter-roof rule; the record alone does not decide it, the inspection does.
In Sterling Village, all 840 units built in the late sixties, and in Leisureville and Hampshire Gardens, one roof often covers several owners, and the low-slope sections are where trouble starts. We inspect membrane seams, drains, scuppers and parapet flashing, note any standing water, and write the findings building by building with dated photographs.
The board gets a plain statement of what each roof needs now and what can wait, so it can set timing and material before a permit is filed.
The report ends with one of three answers. Repair, when the damage is local and the material around it is sound.
Replace, when the covering is brittle across whole slopes, the underlayment has failed in several places, or the repairs are large enough to bring Florida's quarter-roof rule into play, which the inspection checks. Nothing yet, when the roof is sound.
If work is needed, its price comes on a separate sheet in writing. A licensed roofer's house re-roof permit issues instantly on SagesGov, so the schedule turns on the week you choose.
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.
Molsbee Roofing has made getting a new roof an exceptional experience. They have been very responsive throughout the process. I am impressed that the final completion of a tile roof was completed in under 30 days from signing and provided at a competitive price.Read on Google
Molsbee Roofing was a pleasure to work with. While waiting for new roof tiles, they immediately showed up to repair existing leak so that no further damage would occur while waiting for new roof installation. They were in constant communication and we're pleased with our new roof.Read on Google
We signed or completed about a dozen roofing jobs with a Boynton Beach address over the last twelve months.
Nothing to pay for the visit or the written verdict; if the roof needs work, that work is priced on its own sheet, in writing, before anything is booked.

No. The visit, the labelled photographs and the written report are free, whether the roof turns out to need work or not.
We can offer it free because we are the roofer who would carry out any repair, and the price for that work comes separately, in writing, before anything is booked. You are under no pressure to use it, and a roof that needs nothing gets a report that says exactly that.
Yes. 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 look up the roof's permit history, measure the damaged area against the roof system or section it belongs to, and the report states plainly whether the recommended repair stays within the rule.
The inspection answers that from condition rather than age, and the same roof lasts longer inland than on the water. Salt off the Intracoastal shortens the life of metal flashing and fasteners, and sun and heat wear shingle faster on the south and west slopes.
Instead of guessing from the year, we look for curling or bare shingle, cracked or slipped tile, rusted flashing and soft decking, and pair that with the permit history. The report tells you whether the roof has years left or is close to the end.
Yes, and well before the inspection period in your contract runs out. A general home inspection covers the whole house; ours covers only the roof, so we walk it, lift suspect shingle or tile, and check the deck from the attic where we can.
You also get the permit history and, if work is needed, a written price you can take into the negotiation. After we repair or re-roof, we provide a roof certification letter if your insurer asks for one.
You get a report that says the roof is sound, with the photographs to back it up, and nothing else. We do not go looking for work to sell.
The report is still useful: it records the condition of the roof, its flashing and any flat sections on a known date, which helps when you sell the house or when something changes after a storm. If we saw anything worth watching, such as a pipe boot starting to crack, we note it so you can have it checked later.
