Roof replacement in Boynton Beach usually means one of two jobs: a seventies house near Ocean Avenue or in Chapel Hill, often shingle recovered before, or a shared roof in Sterling Village, Leisureville or Hampshire Gardens, where the association decides timing and material. For a house or duplex, the City issues a licensed roofer's re-roof permit on SagesGov as soon as the file is complete, so the start date rests with us and the materials.
Every new roof begins with a free inspection, photographs and a written scope and price. Molsbee Roofing has served Palm Beach County since 1975 from our shop in Lake Worth Beach, under Florida license CCC1327429.
On the east-side shingle roofs, the signals are grit washing off whole slopes, leaks that move after every patch, a deck that gives underfoot and drip edge rusted along the eaves. On the condo villages' low-slope roofs, it is a membrane coated over its own failures or wet insulation across the field.
A single pipe boot or one Florida room tie-in is still a repair. We check the City's permit record for the last re-roof, because many houses here are on their second or third roof.
Shingle suits the seventies houses east of the interstate, since that is the load their framing was built for; concrete tile on one of them is a structural question first. Tile belongs on houses built for it, mostly on the west side, and sound clay barrel can be relaid over new underlayment.
Metal near the Marina District calls for one compatible set of panels, clips and fasteners. A flat section over a Florida room gets its own membrane and tie-in.
Each material has its own Boynton Beach page.
Sterling Village's 840 units went up in 1966 and 1967, and Leisureville and Hampshire Gardens are of the same generation. One roof there often serves several owners, so the board settles timing and material and the whole building is roofed at once.
A condominium building goes through the City's plan review rather than the instant house permit. In the gated communities west of the interstate, an architectural review usually approves material and color first; a street with no association needs only the City permit.
Everything comes off to the deck, and on the older houses that often uncovers a second layer nobody mentioned, soft plywood at the eaves or valleys cut short. Each is photographed and priced for your approval before it is closed in.
The deck is re-nailed, a self-adhered secondary water barrier goes down, then new drip edge and flashings. Inspections are booked by 3 pm the day before and run through sheathing, tin tag or roof metal, and final, with fastening for 160 mph or the 170 mph Intracoastal frontage.
Cleanup closes out the job before the final inspection.
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.

We signed or completed about a dozen roofing jobs with a Boynton Beach address over the last twelve months.
All service areas ↗Usually, if it has been recovered before and is shedding grit across slopes; a local problem on a sound field is still a repair. 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 look up the permit history with the City and measure the damaged area against its section. You receive a written answer with both options priced and the photographs.
For a house or duplex, the City is not the wait: the permit issues on SagesGov once we upload the documents and pay the fee. From there the date depends on material delivery, our calendar and the weather, and on any association sign-off that must come first.
Shingle is usually on hand, while tile and some metal profiles have lead times, so we order before tear-off. A condominium building follows plan review, and we tell you that timeline up front.
Sometimes, but the structure answers first. Concrete tile is heavier than shingle, and on a seventies house near Ocean Avenue the framing was built to carry shingle, so the question goes to the house before it goes to a sample board.
On the west side, many houses were built to carry tile. Where an association governs the street, its approval of material and color comes before the permit.
We price both coverings on the same measurements so the choice is clear.
Through the association. The roof is usually common property covering several units, so the board decides when and with what, and the building is roofed as one job.
We write our findings building by building with dated photographs, price each named roof area so the board can compare bids line by line, and give residents the schedule in writing. The owner who called receives a copy of the report, and the permit is filed after the board's decision, not before.
Before work: photographs and a written scope naming the tear-off, deck repairs, water barrier, drip edge, flashing and covering, with the price, which comes after the free inspection; our Boynton Beach roof replacement cost page covers what drives it. After work: the permit record, the City's final inspection, the manufacturers' product warranties in writing and, when your insurer asks, a roof certification letter.
Financing on approved credit is offered, with flexible terms. Our Boynton re-roof records include Coral Reef Terrace, Lexington Lakes Boulevard South and Boynton Rise Lane.
