Free roof inspection in Delray Beach
Delray Beach packs several completely different kinds of roof into a few miles, and an inspection has to know which one it is standing on. On the finger canals at Tropic Isle and Pelican Harbor the tile is usually the least of it, because salt off the water works constantly on the valley pans, the drip edge and every fixing holding caps and trim, and those give up while the covering above still looks new.

Delray Beach · Roof inspection
Roofing in Delray Beach since 1975.
Delray Beach packs several completely different kinds of roof into a few miles, and an inspection has to know which one it is standing on. On the finger canals at Tropic Isle and Pelican Harbor the tile is usually the least of it, because salt off the water works constantly on the valley pans, the drip edge and every fixing holding caps and trim, and those give up while the covering above still looks new.
On the terraces near Mallory Square and behind Atlantic Avenue the physical condition matters less than knowing where your roof ends and the neighbour's begins, since a fault sitting on a party wall detail belongs to somebody and it is worth establishing who before anyone pays for it. West at Mizners Preserve, Andover, Del-aire Golf Club and Knightsbridge of the Polo Club it is a conventional suburban roof and the association schedule is the thing most likely to complicate a repair.
The work on the roof itself is the same everywhere and it costs nothing. The roofer walks the slopes and lifts tile at several points across different aspects to read the membrane underneath, which is the layer that actually decides whether a roof has years in hand.
He goes through every plumbing collar, valley and flashing at walls, chimneys and skylights, and every ridge and hip cap. He clears and tests the outlet on any low-slope section and checks its junction with the pitched roof.
He feels for sheathing that has softened, and where a hatch allows he reads the underside of the deck. On the canals he examines the hardware piece by piece.
Everything is photographed, and you keep the images and a short written report. We are Molsbee Roofing, family-run since 1975, based in Lake Worth Beach, licensed CCC1327429.
We inspect roofs in 33483, 33445 and 33484. Free roof inspections at 561-318-8624, open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Good to know
What to know.
- On the canals, inspect the metal
At Tropic Isle and Pelican Harbor the air carries salt every day of the year and it goes for the only parts of a tile roof that corrode. Valley pans thin from underneath, drip edge blisters, cap fixings weaken. All of that happens while the tile stays exactly the colour it was delivered in, which is why owners of relatively young waterfront roofs are so often caught out. The hardware gets photographed piece by piece on those addresses.
- Attached roofs: establish the boundary first
On a terrace or a townhome, the useful question is not only what is wrong but whose it is. The community documents decide, and they vary from one association to the next even on the same street. We check before the report is written, so that what you receive says plainly which findings are yours, which belong to the association and which sit on a shared detail that will need agreement before anybody can act.
- Reading the layer under the tile
Tile shields; the membrane below it waterproofs. It ages by heat, invisibly, and a single sound opening tells you nothing about the rest of a roof, so the roofer opens it at several points across different aspects and photographs each. That gives you evidence from your own roof rather than a verdict formed from the driveway, and it is the only honest way to settle whether you are looking at a repair or a replacement.
- Three outcomes, and no fourth
The roof is sound, in which case you are told so, not billed, and not telephoned again. It needs a specific repair, which is named, photographed and priced in writing. Or it is near the end of its life, in which case you get the images that show why, so the timing stays yours. The photographs belong to you and are worth taking to anyone else you want a second view from, because evidence makes a second opinion useful.

Roofing questions
Frequently asked questions.
Is the roof inspection free in Delray Beach?
Yes, and free whatever it finds. A roofer attends, walks the roof, lifts tile where he needs to read the membrane, photographs everything and leaves you with the images and a written report. A sound roof is reported as sound, there is no bill, and nobody rings back to revisit it. Any repair is named and priced in writing. We cover 33483, 33445 and 33484 and the county from Jupiter to Boca Raton. Call 561-318-8624, open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
My waterfront roof is not old. Is an inspection worthwhile?
On the canals at Tropic Isle or Pelican Harbor, yes, and sooner than most owners expect. The tile will last decades. The metal and the fixings holding it together will not, because salt air works on them from the day the roof goes on. A roof can look untouched and have lost the hardware that was holding its details in place. Finding a thinning valley pan early is a small piece of work; finding it after a blow means resetting a slope.
I live in a townhome. Will you tell me what is actually mine?
Yes, and we check the community documents before writing the report rather than guessing from the roof. Responsibility varies genuinely between associations: sometimes each owner has the roof above their own unit, sometimes the association owns the whole thing, and shared details at party walls are frequently the grey area. The report separates your findings from the association's and flags anything that will need agreement, which saves a great deal of time later.
How is this different from a home inspection?
A home inspector assesses a whole property and reports the roof from wherever it can be safely reached, usually the edge or the ground. That vantage point cannot read the membrane under tile, and on a waterfront roof it cannot properly assess the hardware either. Both reports have their place and only one of them answers the question that carries a price. If you are buying near the water, the roofer's report is the one that changes the negotiation.
What happens if you find something?
You get the photograph, a plain explanation and a written price, and nothing is done without your agreement. A collar, a length of flashing or a cracked tile is a repair and is priced as one. If the membrane is brittle everywhere the roofer opened it, we say so directly and show you the images, so replacing the roof stays a decision you take deliberately, on your timing, rather than one made for you by a wet ceiling in August.
