Lifetime Workmanship WarrantyWe replace shingle roofs in Delray Beach, including cottages where the proposed covering needs historic review. The districts include Cape Cod cottages alongside frame houses and Mediterranean tile, so we check the property's district boundary before planning a roof change.
We inspect the deck, porch tie-ins and chimney flashings, then give you a written price for the proposed shingle system. The city offers an express re-roof permit; we confirm the paperwork and review steps for your house.
We work from Lake Worth Beach as a Florida Certified Roofing Contractor CCC1327429; 561-318-8624 is answered at every hour.
Shingle sits on a cottage or a ranch in Delray. Inside Old School Square, Del-Ida Park, Nassau Park, the Marina District and West Settlers it is the Cape Cod cottages of the 1920s to 1940s, on board decks, where the Historic Preservation Board reviews the covering before the permit and has ruled on roof colour before.
Outside the districts it is the ranches of Lake Ida, Osceola Park, Sherwood Park and Rainberry Bay, with the city's typical house dating to the early 1980s and on a replacement roof already. We check the district boundary first, because it decides the order of work.
We tear off to the deck and inspect it before anything goes down. On a cottage that is board sheathing, and rotten or split boards are photographed and priced in writing before they are replaced.
On a plywood deck we re-nail to the current schedule, then lay the secondary water barrier we specify, self-adhered underlayment over the whole deck, a method the code allows, so a shingle lost in a storm does not become a wet ceiling. New drip edge, valley metal and flashings go in at walls, pipes and porch tie-ins, and east of the Intracoastal the metal is chosen for the salt.
We install architectural shingles from GAF and Owens Corning, as a GAF Certified Contractor and an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, so the manufacturer's warranty is registered in your name. Every shingle is nailed to the pattern its product approval calls for at the design wind speed of the lot: 170 mph east of the Intracoastal in Seagate and Tropic Isle, 160 mph west of it toward Military Trail, and the whole city sits in the wind-borne debris region.
Starter strip, hip and ridge cap and ridge vent are the matching products, not whatever is on the truck.
A shingle re-roof is an express permit through eServices, usually issued within 3 business days with the documents uploaded together; inside a historic district the Historic Preservation Board's certificate of appropriateness comes first. Price moves with deck work, layers, pitch, access and wind band.
Our Delray re-roofs include Senterra Drive, Monarch Court and Grande Palm Circle.
For work in Delray 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.
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 recently was in the market for a new roof. After many interviews with various roof companies. I revisited my first choice - Molsbee Roofing mainly due to Merrick. Merrick took time to explain thoroughly the process and stood by everything he promised. Nicole's customer service was also exceptional!Read on Google
We had a wonderful experience with Molsbee Roofing replacing our flat roof. The team did a fantastic job, the new flat roof looks great! I also enjoyed working with Nicole and Merrick, they were very professional from start to finish. The roofers were hard-working and thorough.Read on Google
We signed or completed about a dozen roofing jobs with a Delray Beach address over the last twelve months.
Rounded off, one roof in ten came in under $8,000, half came in under $20,000, and nine in ten came in under $48,000.

The figure above is county-wide, from every full re-roof we signed across Palm Beach County over the last year; our Delray shingle records are too few for a town figure. Your price turns on the deck, the layers coming off, the pitch and access, and the wind band, written after a free inspection of the deck, flashings and porch tie-ins.
Board replacement on a cottage is photographed and priced in writing as it is found, so the number you sign holds unless the deck says otherwise, and you see the photographs first.
Usually, if shingle is there now, but the Historic Preservation Board decides, not us. Exterior work in the district needs a certificate of appropriateness, and the board has ruled on roof colour before; we photograph the existing covering, prepare the submittal, and price the roof the board accepts.
The same applies in Del-Ida Park, Old School Square, Nassau Park and West Settlers. Outside the districts, on Lake Ida or in Osceola Park, the choice is yours and the express permit is the paperwork.
Re-roofs are express permits through eServices, and with every document uploaded up front the city issues them within 3 business days as a rule. What adds time is a historic district, where the Historic Preservation Board's review comes before the permit, or a community with its own association review of roof colour and material.
We file the application, order the shingles and book the dry-in and final inspections as a single sequence, and you have the dates before the dumpster arrives on the driveway.
Yes, and on a district cottage it is the normal case. Boards need to be sound, tight and thick enough to hold the nail; wide gaps are covered with plywood or the boards are replaced.
When the old covering comes off we photograph every bad board and tell you the count and the price before the underlayment goes down. Self-adhered underlayment then covers the whole deck, and the shingle is nailed to the pattern the wind band calls for.
The written scope records the deck work, the fastening and the warranty on both.
