Molsbee roofing did a fantastic job on my cement tile roof. Merrick and Nicole were very communicative throughout the entire process. Can't thank them enough. If you are shopping for a roof look no further!Read on Google

Greenacres · Roof inspection
Molsbee Roofing inspects roofs in Greenacres for free: we walk the whole roof, lift tile or shingle at the valleys and walls, and check the deck and straps from the attic. You then get labelled photographs, a plain verdict of nothing, repair or replace, and a written price if there is work to do.
Most Greenacres houses date from the late 1980s, so on streets from Pine Ridge to River Bridge the real question is whether the first roof has reached the end of its life.

What we inspect in Greenacres
What we check on a Greenacres block house or villa
The whole roof, not only the wet corner. We lift tile or shingle at the valleys, wall flashings and eaves to see the underlayment, check every pipe boot and the ridge, and look at the plywood from the attic for stains and soft spots.
Then the roof-to-wall straps, because when a roof this age is replaced the code asks for them to be brought up to standard, and their condition now changes the price later. On a villa in Nautica Isles or Sherwood Lakes we also check where your roof meets the neighbour's wall.
Repair or replace on a Greenacres roof, judged by the underlayment
Age alone does not decide it; the layer under the covering does. One leak at a boot or valley with sound underlayment around it is a repair, and the report says so.
Felt that tears wherever we lift a shingle, or tile resting on underlayment that has gone to powder, is a roof at the end of its life, and a patch there only moves the leak. We would rather show you that with photographs than sell you a repair first and a roof later.
Greenacres city or county, and the permit record
A Greenacres mailing address does not always mean a city parcel, so we look it up first. For a city parcel we check the roof's permit history with the City of Greenacres; for a county parcel, west toward Jog Road, we pull what ePZB holds.
The permit history helps show how the quarter-roof rule would treat the roof, and the report names the desk that would issue any permit for the work.
When to book a Greenacres roof inspection
After a storm has come through; before you sign on a house; and when the house next door on Indian Forest Circle or anywhere else on your street has just been re-roofed, because roofs of the same age and covering tend to fail together. Each time you get labelled photographs, a plain verdict, a written price if there is work, and a note on whether the city or the county would issue the permit.

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.

Your roof, explained
Roof inspection questions in Greenacres
How much does a roof inspection cost in Greenacres?
Nothing. There is no fee for the visit, the attic check, the photographs or the written report, and no charge if the roof turns out to need nothing at all.
If it needs a repair or a replacement, the price comes on its own sheet afterwards, and you decide in your own time. Many Greenacres owners call us after a neighbour on the same street has re-roofed, and that is a good moment to have yours looked at, because the houses were built and roofed in the same few years.
What will fail a roof inspection on a Greenacres house?
Underlayment that tears or crumbles when we lift the covering, soft or stained plywood seen from the attic, and flashings that have pulled away from a wall or a villa party wall. Cracked or slipped tile, brittle shingle across a whole slope, split pipe boots and a cracked ridge also go in the report.
One of these alone is usually a repair. Several together on an original late-1980s roof point to replacement, and the photographs show you which pattern your Greenacres roof has.
Does the quarter-roof rule affect my Greenacres roof inspection?
It shapes what the report recommends. The quarter-roof rule considers how much of a roof system or section is repaired, replaced or recovered in any 12-month period.
Above a quarter, the roof covering across that entire system or section generally must be replaced or recovered to meet current code requirements. If that system or section was built, repaired or replaced in compliance with the 2007 Florida Building Code or a later edition, only the portion being worked on must meet applicable current code requirements.
We check which applies before we price. So when we find damage, we measure how much of the roof it covers, not only where it is, and the report tells you plainly whether a repair stays under that line.
How long does a roof last on a Greenacres house?
It depends on the covering and, above all, on the underlayment beneath it. On a Greenacres house from the late 1980s, an original shingle roof is at or past the end of its life, and an original tile roof is usually due for new underlayment even if the tile itself is sound.
Because the city was built out over a short span, whole streets reach that point together. The inspection tells you where your roof stands, with photographs of the layers that decide it.
Should I get the roof inspected before buying a house in Greenacres?
Yes, before you sign. We check the permit record to see when the roof was last replaced and whether it was city or county work, then lift the tile or shingle and look at the deck from the attic.
You get a written report of what the roof needs now and what it is likely to need soon, with photographs you can take to the seller. If we later repair or re-roof it, we provide a roof certification letter when your insurer asks for one.
