El Cid · Palm Beach County, Jupiter to Boca Raton
Roofing in El Cid, West Palm Beach
El Cid is a designated historic neighbourhood of Mediterranean Revival houses along the Intracoastal in 33401, and that designation is the first thing a roof decision here has to deal with. In a designated district the material and colour of a roof that can be seen from the street can be reviewed before a permit is issued, and most of these houses were built with barrel tile and are expected to keep it.

El Cid · Palm Beach County
Roofing in El Cid since 1975.
The sequence here is fixed and it is not the one most owners assume: establish what the review will accept, design the roof to it, apply for the permit, then order material. Reversing any of those steps is expensive in a designated district in a way it is not elsewhere in the city.
We check your specific address against the district boundaries at the inspection, tell you plainly what is likely to be required, and prepare the submission properly, because a submission that generates questions moves considerably slower than one that answers them.

Good to know
About roofs in El Cid.
- Barrel tile, and what sits under it
Clay barrel is what these houses were built with and what most of them will keep. It is also, on a roof of this age, almost never the thing that has failed. The self-adhered layer beneath it is the actual waterproofing, and it ages by heat, out of sight, on a schedule the tile does not share. A roof can carry sound, unbroken barrel over a layer that has gone brittle and split along its laps. Lifting tile at several points across different slopes is the only honest way to tell, and every opening is photographed and replaced as the roofer goes.
- Chimneys, parapets and the details of the period
Houses of this era carry details newer suburbs do not: real chimneys, parapet walls, and flashings that were formed by hand a very long time ago and have usually been sealed rather than rebuilt at some point since. Those joints leak without a single tile going missing, because each is a junction between materials that move at different rates. After any serious weather they want checking individually, on the roof rather than from a ladder, and a re-roof is the right moment to form them properly again.
- Salvage, matching and the profile question
Where tile has to come off, some of it can usually be saved and re-laid, which matters most when a profile has been discontinued and an exact match is no longer made. Expect breakage: older clay is brittle and some pieces will not survive removal however carefully they are handled. So salvage typically covers part of the roof and new tile makes up the rest, blended where it shows least, and the proportion is estimated at the inspection rather than discovered halfway through. Where the review has a view on the replacement profile, that goes into the submission first.
- What a roof costs in El Cid
Full replacements we have priced across Palm Beach County since spring have landed in the county's typical range, and a designated house with barrel tile, chimneys and parapets will usually sit up it. Area and pitch, the proportion of tile that can be salvaged, how much decking is soft once the covering is off, the flashing details and the submission itself all move the figure. Each of those appears as its own line on the price, in writing, before anything starts, and anything beyond the decking allowance is photographed and approved by you first.

Roofing questions
Frequently asked questions.
Do you work in El Cid?
Yes, and we handle the district submission as part of the job rather than leaving it with you. A roofer walks the roof, lifts tile at several laps to read the layer beneath, examines every chimney, parapet and wall flashing, checks the collars, valleys and caps, and photographs everything. You get the images and a written report, with any repair named and priced and a plain note on what the review would require. A sound roof is reported as sound with no bill. Molsbee Roofing is a family business, roofing since 1975, based in Lake Worth Beach and working Palm Beach County from Jupiter to Boca Raton, licensed CCC1327429. Every job is permitted and inspected and every price is itemised in writing before the work. Free roof inspections. Call 561-318-8624, open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
