Greenacres · Metal roof replacement
Greenacres is a re-roof town, and some of those re-roofs go to metal. The typical house here is a block ranch or a villa coming up on a re-roof, and an owner facing that sometimes decides the next roof should be the last one they buy.
We found no city design board for roofs in Greenacres; check with your association, where there is one, and the city's inspectors do the rest. Molsbee Roofing installs standing seam and exposed-fastener metal here from our shop in Lake Worth Beach, a short drive east on Lake Worth Road.
A Molsbee roofer checks the trusses and the deck, sorts out whether the city or the county issues the permit, and gives you a written price for metal next to shingle. We are a Florida Certified Roofing Contractor CCC1327429; call 561-318-8624 at any hour.

Before the work starts
Before a metal reroof in Greenacres
The next roof on a block house
Greenacres was built out as block ranches and villas under shingle, and many of those roofs have been re-covered at least once. When it is due again the owner chooses between shingle, tile, or metal, and metal wins with owners who never want to do this roof again.
Greenacres is inland with no salt in the air, so the metal here is chosen for the look and for the wind, not for corrosion. It also weighs less than the shingle it replaces, so a truss built for shingle is not being asked to hold more.
Where the house sits in an association, its rules on roof type and colour come first.
The inspector sees the clips go on
Greenacres does not take roofing affidavits. Sheathing, tin tag and in-progress are inspected in person before the final, each booked the business day before, with a certified notice of commencement recorded before the first visit.
On a metal roof the in-progress visit is the inspector watching the panels and clips go on to the approved pattern, exactly the check a metal roof should get. The permit is filed on MGO Connect with the city's own Roof Package form.
On the county side of the mailing area it is county ePZB and county inspections, so we confirm which desk your street answers to.
Panel, deck and straps
Standing seam locks its panels at raised seams over hidden clips; it is the profile for the house. Exposed-fastener panels screwed through the face suit a shed, a carport or a lanai roof.
Under either, the shingle comes off, the sheathing is re-nailed, and the self-adhered secondary water barrier we specify goes down before a panel is set. Greenacres sits inland in the 160 mph wind band and the wind-borne debris region, so the clip or screw pattern in the proposal comes from the property's wind requirement.
We check the roof-to-wall straps while the deck is open.
Our Greenacres re-roofs
Our Greenacres re-roofs in the last year were on Indian Forest Circle, Marbletree Lane, Hendry Drive, Canal Drive, Barton Creek Circle, Clock Road, Waverly Lane, Torch Key Street, C Durham Drive and Adriatic Way. Our records sort those roofs by street and price, not by material, so no metal count appears here and the photograph of our metal work is captioned by material alone.
If your street is on that list, ask the neighbour how the job went.
How it works in Greenacres
Free inspection, photographedA Molsbee roofer looks at the roof, the deck and the exposed edges, and puts the whole price in writing.
Panel, underlayment and connections namedThe proposal names the panel system, the underlayment, the edge metal and how the panels attach, so you compare a construction, not a colour.
Permit through MGO Connect portalWe file the roofing permit with the City of Greenacres through its MGO Connect portal and keep the paperwork aligned with the approved design.
Tear-off, deck, underlayment, panelsRemoval can reveal deck damage; we record it and explain what remains concealed. Then underlayment, flashing and the panel system.
Final inspection and warrantyWe handle the inspection. The Lifetime Workmanship Warranty and the manufacturer warranty go in writing.
Permits and code
Permits in Greenacres
For work in Greenacres, confirm requirements with the building department responsible for the property and complete any required historic or HOA review before ordering materials or beginning work.
Greenacres runs its own Building Division at 5800 Melaleuca Lane, weekdays 8 to 4:30, and since 15 April 2026 the roofing permit is filed on MGO Connect only; emailed applications are no longer accepted. The city wants its own Roof Package form, the contractor enrolled on the portal and a certified notice of commencement on file before inspections start.
Greenacres accepts no affidavits on roofs. Sheathing, tin tag and in-progress are live inspections before the final, each requested by 3 pm the business day before, Monday to Friday. We hold the schedule for the inspector.
The city sits inland in the 160 mph wind band and the wind-borne debris region; the code sets secondary water barrier requirements on a re-roof, and we specify a self-adhered one.
Local conditionsBuilt for Greenacres
- A city that grew in the 1980s
- Greenacres went from 1,731 residents in 1970 to 18,683 in 1990, and the typical house dates to 1987.
- Flood pockets since 2017
- The city was once entirely Zone X. Since 5 October 2017 it has carried AE and AH flood pockets, and the county's new flood maps took effect in December 2024, so we check the parcel before the proposal.
- Storm history in the record
- The 1926 and 1928 hurricanes virtually destroyed the town. Every roof from 10th Avenue North to Ferreri Community Park and Heather Estates Park is designed for 160 mph gusts today, and the fastening schedule is written into the proposal.

What homeowners say
★★★★★
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

Metal roof replacement questions in Greenacres
What is the price of a metal roof in Greenacres?
The figure above is our Greenacres range for every full re-roof, in every material; there is no metal-only number we can stand behind. Inside that range the price moves with the size and pitch of the roof, the panel profile, and what the shingle tear-off shows in the sheathing.
Standing seam over hidden clips costs more than exposed-fastener panels, and metal costs more than another shingle roof up front. The written quote sets metal beside shingle so you can see the gap for your house, not an average.
Does Greenacres need a design approval for a metal roof?
Not from the city: we found no design review board for roofs in Greenacres. Where the house sits in an association, its rules on roof type and colour come first and we ask before we quote.
After that it is the permit on MGO Connect, the city's live inspections at sheathing, tin tag, in-progress and final, and the property's wind requirement for the fastening pattern. On the county side of the mailing area the permit and the inspections belong to the county instead, so tell us the street and we confirm the desk.
Can my trusses carry a metal roof?
Almost always, because metal weighs less than the shingle it replaces and far less than tile. A truss built for shingle is not being asked to hold more when metal goes on.
We still inspect the trusses and the deck from the attic before the quote, because the sheathing has to be sound and re-nailed before a panel is fastened to it, and roofs from the years Greenacres grew up often carry earlier repairs. Anything we can see from the attic goes into the quote before the tear-off, not after it.
Which panel for a Greenacres house?
Standing seam on the house; exposed fastener on a shed, a carport or a lanai. Standing seam carries its clips under the raised seams so no screw head sits in the weather, which is why it is the profile for the living space.
Screwed-down panels are quicker and cost less, and they suit a roof where nobody minds seeing the fasteners. Both are set to the property's wind requirement, which we check before the panel is chosen; the differences are the look, the price and where the screws sit.
