Lifetime Workmanship WarrantyCommercial roofing in Delray Beach starts with a free roof inspection, photographs of what we found and a written proposal with the price before any work starts. An Atlantic Avenue business and a property in the Marina historic district can face different appearance and staging questions.
We inspect the existing assembly, drainage and connections, cut cores where water stands to see whether the insulation is wet, then establish whether repairs are supported or replacement is needed. The owner's plan includes the applicable City submission and any historic review before materials and installation dates are committed.
Molsbee Roofing is Carlisle-certified for TPO, a GAF Certified Contractor and an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, and every install carries our lifetime workmanship warranty alongside the manufacturers' product warranties.
We walk the roof and look at seams, drains, curbs and wall transitions, then cut small cores where water stands to see whether the insulation under the membrane is wet, patching each core before we leave. Dry insulation under a tired membrane can take a recover or a coating; wet insulation across the field means the roof comes off, because a new surface over saturated board fails from underneath.
A leak at a drain or curb on a sound roof is a repair. The written recommendation states which applies and why, with the photographs and cores behind it.
Modified bitumen is a multi-ply, torch- or cold-applied system that takes foot traffic around rooftop equipment well, which suits the smaller shops along Federal Highway and Atlantic Avenue. TPO is a white, heat-welded membrane that covers a large plain footprint efficiently; we are Carlisle-certified to install it.
A coating restores a sound, dry roof and is not a fix for a wet one. The proposal names the system, thickness, insulation and attachment rather than a brand alone, and explains why it suits your building's use and drainage.
Tear-off is phased so the building is watertight at the end of every day and the work area on the roof matches the space we can use on the ground. Before the schedule is set we agree deliveries, dumpster placement, customer entrances and the route to the roof with the manager, whether that is a storefront on Atlantic Avenue, a plaza on Linton Boulevard or a shop on North Federal Highway.
Tenants are told what is above them and when, and the proposal shows the phases on a roof plan.
The City handles the roofing permit through eServices, and a complete upload up front is what keeps a re-roof moving through review. A building with protected status in the Marina district, Old School Square or Del-Ida Park goes to the Historic Preservation Board before any visible change; a flat roof behind a parapet rarely changes the street view, but we confirm the designation rather than assume.
Edge metal and membrane attachment are specified for the wind band, which is higher on the beach and Intracoastal strip than on the west side of town.
On a commercial roof in Delray Beach, the permit through eServices portal is filed with the building's scope and phasing, so tenants know the schedule before we start.
The City of Delray Beach issues the roofing permit through its eServices portal, and re-roofs are express permits: with every document uploaded up front, most are issued within three business days. We confirm the permit scope before we assume a change of material has the same application as every other reroof.
Five local historic districts change the order of work: Old School Square, Nassau Park, Del-Ida Park, Marina and West Settlers. Inside a district the Historic Preservation Board reviews exterior changes first, and it has ruled on roof colour before, so the material and colour are settled before the express permit is used.
East of the Intracoastal the design wind speed is 170 mph; west of it, 160 mph. The whole city is in the wind-borne debris region. We specify a self-adhered secondary water barrier on the Delray re-roofs we build.
I contacted Molsbee because a roof inspector from another company performing inspections on all the roofs in my HOA community commented that whatever company did my next door neighbor's roof is the company I should contact. Merrick's project management and Nicole's customer service left a positive impression throughout.Read on Google
Molsbee Roofing did an amazing job from start to finish. Super professional, on time, and very detail-oriented. They explained everything clearly and made the whole process stress free. The quality of the work speaks for itself the roof looks incredible.Read on Google

Both. A repair is right when the leak is at a drain, curb, seam or wall flashing and the insulation around it is dry, which a core beside the leak confirms.
We open the roof, replace the failed detail with material compatible with the existing membrane, probe the neighboring seams and photograph the result. What a core cannot show is the condition of the deck across the whole field; if water has spread through the insulation, we say so, photograph it and price the replacement instead of a patch that will not hold.
Yes, for the right building. Modified bitumen is a multi-ply system that stands up to foot traffic around rooftop units, which suits many shops along Atlantic Avenue and Federal Highway.
On a restaurant roof, grease from the kitchen exhaust fan softens asphalt-based membranes, so the fan area needs a grease containment detail whichever system is chosen. On a large plain roof with little traffic, a white TPO membrane is the usual fit.
Either is installed to the wind band for your side of the Intracoastal, and we lay out the trade-offs for your building rather than push a system.
Usually, yes. We phase the tear-off so only the section being replaced is open at any time and the building is dried in before we leave each day.
Deliveries, dumpster placement, customer entry and the route to the roof are agreed with the manager before the schedule is set, and tenants are told what is above them and when. On a tight Atlantic Avenue frontage the ground space decides the phase size; on a plaza off Linton Boulevard or Military Trail there is room to move faster.
If the building has protected status in the Marina district, Old School Square, Del-Ida Park, Nassau Park or West Settlers, any visible exterior change goes to the Historic Preservation Board for a certificate before the City takes the roofing permit. A flat roof hidden behind a parapet often changes nothing the street sees, but a visible tile or metal section on the same building does.
We confirm the designation and the Board's requirements before the order, not after the permit is refused.
It states the system, thickness and attachment, whether the existing roof comes off or is recovered, insulation and drainage work, edge metal, curbs and penetrations, the staging plan and how concealed conditions are handled, so you can compare it line by line. Price follows those items and the access, not the square footage alone.
At closeout you receive the City's final inspection, our lifetime workmanship warranty on the installation and the manufacturer's warranty on the membrane, both in writing, and a roof certification letter for your insurer when one is asked for. Financing on approved credit is offered.
