What a roof costs in the Village of Golf
On a substantial house the most useful thing a quote can do is stop being a single number. These roofs are not one roof; they are several, at different levels, with different coverings and different amounts of detail, and a total that covers all of them makes it impossible to see what is being charged for what, or to decide that one level should be done now and another in three years.

Village of Golf · Roof replacement cost
Roofing in Village of Golf since 1975.
On a substantial house the most useful thing a quote can do is stop being a single number. These roofs are not one roof; they are several, at different levels, with different coverings and different amounts of detail, and a total that covers all of them makes it impossible to see what is being charged for what, or to decide that one level should be done now and another in three years.
That flexibility matters more here than on a smaller house, because the sums involved are larger and because it is genuinely common for a principal roof to have years left while a terrace or a parapet area does not. So we price by level: the principal slopes, the covered terrace or loggia, the garage wing, the entry, and any low-slope area, each with its own scope, its own allowances and its own figure.
Within each of those the items are the ordinary ones, and they should all appear: tear-off, a decking allowance with a stated quantity and a rate beyond it, deck re-nailing, underlayment coverage, the flashings and abutments, the ventilation, the covering, and the permit with its inspections. The two lines that most often separate one price from another on a house of this kind are the abutment work, because a complicated roof has a great deal of it, and the treatment of the low-slope areas, because a rate written for a pitched roof does not cover them properly.
All of the figures come from the same free inspection, and the photographs that support them are yours to take to anybody else. 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.

Good to know
What to know.
- Price by level, not by house
Principal slopes, terrace, garage wing, entry, parapet areas. Each with its own scope and its own figure. That lets you see what each level costs, decide the order of work and avoid paying now for something that has years left. On a house this size a single total is convenient for whoever wrote it and removes every useful decision from the person paying.
- Abutments are where complexity lives
Every place a roof plane meets a wall has to be formed and lapped, and a cut-up house has a great deal of that. It is labour and craft rather than square footage, it is where these roofs leak, and it is the line where two quotes most often diverge. Ask how many abutments and valleys each price allowed for; a contractor who measured your roof will know without looking it up.
- Low-slope areas need their own specification
A terrace, a loggia or a parapet area is not a smaller version of the pitched roof. It has its own covering, its own drainage, its own upstands and its own failure modes, and a rate written for tile or shingle does not cover it properly. Priced separately it also becomes possible to deal with it alone, which on a house where the main roof is sound is frequently the right move.
- Allowances and photographs
Nobody can see a deck until the covering is off, so each level carries its own allowance with a stated quantity and a rate beyond it, and everything found is photographed and approved before it goes ahead. On a house with several levels a single pooled allowance tells you nothing useful, because it cannot be traced back to the area it was spent on.

Roofing questions
Frequently asked questions.
What does a new roof cost in the Village of Golf?
It depends which roof, because a house here usually has several. Full replacements we have priced across Palm Beach County since spring have landed in the county's typical range, and a complex multi-level roof sits up it. We price each level separately, with its own scope, allowance and figure, so you can see what each costs and decide the order of work. The inspection is free. Call 561-318-8624.
Why should the levels be priced separately?
So you can make decisions. It is genuinely common for a principal roof to have years left while a terrace or a parapet area does not, and a single total makes it impossible to act on that. Priced by level you can deal with what needs attention now and plan the rest, which on sums of this size is worth a great deal more than a small difference in the headline figure.
Why is my quote higher than for a house of similar size?
Almost certainly complexity. Two houses with the same floor area can have very different roofs: more planes, more valleys, more wall abutments, more skylights, more low-slope area. All of that is labour and detail that does not scale with square footage. Ask each contractor how many abutments and valleys their price allowed for. A vague answer means the number came from a rate rather than from your roof.
Should the terrace be included in the main quote?
It should be in the same document and on its own line. It has its own covering, drainage, upstands and failure modes, and a rate written for the pitched roof will not cover it properly. Separating it also makes it possible to deal with the terrace alone, which where the main roof is sound is frequently the sensible order of work and a much smaller sum.
Is financing available?
Yes, and the order matters. We price the work first, level by level, in writing, so the numbers are known before anyone discusses how to pay for any of them. Payment plans and state storm-hardening programmes both exist and we explain plainly which apply. What we will not do is lead with a monthly figure attached to a single undifferentiated total.
