Metal roof replacement in west Delray Beach

Ask about a metal roof west of the turnpike in Delray Beach and the first honest answer is a question back: which community? Addison Reserve, Mizners Preserve and Saturnia Isles were built on concrete tile in 33446 and 33484, and their committees still hold to it on a primary roof, or allow standing seam only in specific profiles and colors, or only on a rear elevation. Valencia Palms, Grand Haven at Linton Boulevard, North Oaks and Rio Poco have their own standards, some of them opening the door, and the newer custom homes along Lyons Road and State Road 7 have opened it wide. Where metal is allowed the case is a good one even without the coast's salt. West Delray gets the same wind and rain as everyone else, and a standing-seam roof sheds water instantly with no place for it to pool, holds on in gusts that lift tile, reflects heat instead of soaking it into an attic, and has no underlayment-under-tile wear point to fail after a couple of decades, which is exactly what drives most west Delray leaks. Because there is no salt this far inland, coastal-rated coated steel is a sound and less expensive panel here, where a house on the Intracoastal would need aluminum. Molsbee Roofing has been a family business since 1975, based in Lake Worth Beach and working Palm Beach County, Jupiter to Boca Raton, and west Delray has given us a handful of roofs since spring. The first call we make on a west Delray metal job is to read the community's standards, so nobody spends an evening admiring a proposal a committee will refuse. If the answer is yes, the roof comes off, the deck is repaired, a high-temperature underlayment goes down, and coated steel panels run the full length of each plane on concealed clips with hemmed edges and matched flashings, permitted through the county with inspections at the dry-in and the finish. If the answer is no, we write up the tile the community wants instead. The free inspection puts standing seam, tile and shingle on one sheet for your Valencia Palms villa or your Saturnia Isles estate, measured from the roof.
