Roof leak repair in Boynton Beach

A Boynton Beach roof leaks according to its address. At Boynton Isles and Coquina Cove on the Intracoastal, and on the streets near Ocean Avenue where the Inlet's salt reaches, the leak is in the metal: a galvanized valley liner rusted through under intact Spanish tile, drip edge flaked away, cap nails weeping brown lines, a chimney flashing eaten at the seam. Around the lake at Lake Eden and the Hills at Lake Eden, and in the postwar blocks of Chapel Hill, Mission Hill and Forest Hills in 33435 and 33426, it is the inland pattern: felt under the tile cracking at the laps after decades in an attic, a pipe boot split by the sun, shingle curled on the older block homes, a flat carport or Florida room roof holding water at a seam or the tie-in to the house. Either way, the brown ring on the ceiling marks where the water landed, not where it got in; it can travel the length of a rafter bay before it drops. Most of the dozen or so roofs we have handled in Boynton since spring were repairs, and every one began the same way: a Molsbee roofer on the ridge with an awl and a camera, working downhill through valleys, boots and flashings, opening tile where the felt looked tired, ducking into the attic where a hatch allowed, and climbing down with a photograph of the actual hole and a price to close it, itemized. Molsbee Roofing has been a family business since 1975, based a few minutes up the road in Lake Worth Beach and working Palm Beach County, Jupiter to Boca Raton. Sound roofs get reported as sound. Corroded metal gets replaced in stainless or copper, once. Felt that has given up across a whole slope gets shown to you in pictures, and the replacement conversation starts from evidence rather than a pitch. Free roof inspections. When a storm opens a Boynton roof the tarp goes on during the first visit and the lasting repair follows as soon as the deck has dried. Open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at 561-318-8624.
