    Roof leak repair in East Boca Raton

    East Boca Raton leaks in three dialects. On the Mizner-era streets of the Spanish River Land plat, Boca Raton Riviera and Estoville, the clay barrel roofs are old enough that the failure is usually at a chimney or parapet flashing that has opened along the mortar, a plank board gone soft under a lap, or felt that has spent most of a century in an attic and finally cracked; the tile itself is often original and often fine. On the Intracoastal canals at Golden Harbour, Boca Islands, Royal Palm Forest and Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club, the dialect is salt: galvanized valley liners rusted through under intact tile, drip edge flaked away, hip and ridge nails weeping brown lines down the concrete. In Boca Villas, between downtown and the beach, it is a mix of the rebuilt cottages' standing-seam and flat sections, leaking at a rusted fastener, a split boot or a seam where water has ponded over a garage. In all of 33432 the stain is a poor witness: water runs along the felt or the deck from the real hole to wherever a nail or a seam lets it fall, sometimes the far side of the house. Molsbee Roofing has been a family business since 1975, based in Lake Worth Beach and working Palm Beach County, Jupiter to Boca Raton, and East Boca is the southern end of that run. Repairs are the bulk of what we do, and a repair here begins on the roof: a roofer at the ridge with an awl and a camera, working downhill through valleys, boots, chimney flashings and flat tie-ins, opening tile where the felt looks tired, looking from the attic side where a hatch allows, and climbing down with a photograph of the actual hole and an itemized price to close it. A sound roof is reported sound. Corroded metal is replaced in stainless or copper and stays replaced. A Mizner-era roof whose felt has failed across the slope is shown to you in pictures before the word replacement is used, and the design-review conversation that follows is honest about what the street will expect. Free roof inspections. When a storm opens a roof, the tarp comes the same visit and the permanent repair follows once the deck has dried. Open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at 561-318-8624.

    What it costs

    Most repairs we have priced across Palm Beach County since spring cost a small fraction of a replacement: a boot or flashing at the low end, a rebuilt valley or new underlayment at the high end.

    Century-old clay: chimneys, parapets and plank

    On an Estoville or Riviera house the leak is often where the age shows: a chimney or parapet flashing opened along the mortar, a plank board gone soft under a lap, an original valley whose metal has thinned to nothing. We rebuild the flashing in copper, replace the failed boards, reline the valley in stainless or copper, and relay the salvaged clay so the street sees the roof it wants to see. A like-for-like repair generally does not go before design review; we tell you when it would.

    Canal-side corrosion: rusted metal out, stainless in

    At Golden Harbour, Boca Islands and the Yacht Club the repair takes the failed metal out rather than sealing over it. The rusted galvanized valley liner comes out and stainless or copper goes in; flaking drip edge is stripped and renewed the length of the eave; corroded cap nails are pulled and the caps reset on stainless screws; the tile around the work is lifted, saved and relaid so nothing shows from the seawall. Caulk over rust fails by the next season on the Intracoastal, so we do not sell it.

    Boca Villas: standing-seam screws and flat garage roofs

    The rebuilt cottages carry standing seam that leaks at a rusted fastener, a split pipe boot or a lifted ridge cap, and flat sections over garages and porches that leak at seams and the tie-in to the pitched roof. The metal repair is stainless fasteners, new boots and caps, hemmed and sealed edges; the flat repair uses the membrane's own system so the patch bonds and re-flashes the tie-in. We say plainly whether a flat section has years left or is a re-cover waiting to happen.

    Storm damage: tarp today, repair when it is dry

    After a blow, a roofer first secures a tarp or a temporary dry-in over the opening, batten-fastened so the next gust does not take it, and photographs the damage for your file. Once the deck has dried enough for membrane and mortar to bond, the permanent repair goes in: tile reset from the salvage stack, caps re-bedded, panels re-fastened, seams re-welded. We say when we can be there and do not promise a window we cannot hold. Repairs we have priced across Palm Beach County since spring have mostly cost a small fraction of a replacement.
