Boynton Beach · Shingle roof replacement
We replace shingle roofs in Boynton Beach, from the 1970s houses east of I-95 to the streets along the Intracoastal. A roofer inspects the covering, the deck and any porch tie-ins, then gives you a written price that names the shingle, underlayment and metal.
The city issues a licensed roofer's re-roof permit on SagesGov once the documents are uploaded, so the start date depends on us and the materials, and we tell you which week the tear-off lands. We are a Florida Certified Roofing Contractor CCC1327429 based in Lake Worth Beach; 561-318-8624 is answered early or late.

Before the work starts
Before a shingle reroof in Boynton Beach
Tear-off and the deck underneath
Many houses in 33435 date from the 1970s, so the plywood under the shingle has often carried an earlier roof. We strip to the deck, photograph any soft or delaminated sheets, replace them and re-nail the deck.
Around Chapel Hill, Lake Boynton Estates and Ocean Avenue, tell us about additions and old repairs, because hidden rot tends to sit where they join the house. Any deck work found at tear-off is photographed and explained before it is done.
The shingle system, edge to ridge
We specify a self-adhered secondary water barrier on our shingle re-roofs, within the Florida Building Code's secondary water barrier requirements, which allow more than one compliant method, so the deck is sealed first, then the underlayment, drip edge and flashings at walls, pipes and valleys go on. Shingles are fastened to the manufacturer's instructions and the property's wind band: 160 mph on the mainland, 170 mph on the Intracoastal frontage.
A flat section over a porch gets its own membrane and a proper tie-in to the shingle above.
Two warranties, both in writing
Your new roof carries two warranties with different jobs. Our lifetime workmanship warranty covers the installation: the fastening, flashings and tie-ins our roofers put on.
The shingle manufacturer's warranty covers the material, and as a GAF Certified Contractor and Owens Corning Preferred Contractor we install those systems to their instructions. Both are written into the contract, so you know who answers for what.
Associations, salt air and other materials
Where a house was built with shingle, we can price shingle again and talk through other materials you are weighing. If your community has an association, get its roof requirements before choosing colour or profile.
East of Federal Highway, around the Marina District, salt air works on metal flashings, so we specify corrosion-resistant metal there. Our full re-roof records in Boynton Beach include Coral Reef Terrace, Lexington Lakes Boulevard South and Boynton Rise Lane.

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.

Shingle roof replacement questions in Boynton Beach
How much does a shingle roof replacement cost in Boynton Beach?
The range above comes from our signed full re-roofs across Palm Beach County last year; our Boynton Beach records are too few for a town range of their own. Your price depends on the size and pitch of the roof, how much decking needs replacing, the shingle line and any flat section over a porch.
We inspect first and put the price in writing, with deck repairs shown as their own line so you can see them before tear-off.
Does a 20-year-old shingle roof need to be replaced?
Not on age alone; the roof's condition decides. We look for bare or curling shingles, lifted tabs, cracked flashings, soft decking and leaks that come back after a repair.
We also check the permit history, which helps show how the quarter-roof rule would treat a large repair. You get photographs and a written recommendation.
What is Florida's quarter-roof rule, and does it apply in Boynton Beach?
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.
A large repair can become a re-roof of that section, so we check the permit record with the city before recommending a repair or a replacement.
Do I need a permit to replace my shingle roof in Boynton Beach?
Yes. When a licensed roofer files it for a one- or two-family home, Boynton Beach issues the re-roof permit on SagesGov as soon as the documents are uploaded and the fee is paid.
Inspections then run in stages: sheathing, roof metal or tin tag, and final. The city lets a licensed roofer submit a notarised affidavit with colour photographs for some of those checks; we tell you which apply and keep the photographs with your job file.
How do I choose a reputable roofer in Boynton Beach?
Check the state licence, read the reviews and ask to see the warranty in writing. Molsbee Roofing is family-owned across three generations, working since 1975, licensed CCC1327429, a GAF Certified Contractor and Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, and rated 4.8 with 200+ Google reviews.
Our shop is in Lake Worth Beach, a short drive north of Boynton, and the phone at 561-318-8624 is answered 24 hours a day.
