Request your free inspection
Molsbee Roofing maintains roofs in Greenacres, FL, starting with a free roof inspection of the shingle or tile, the flashings and the places where water collects. Most houses here date from the late eighties, so many roofs are old enough that small fixes made on time decide how long the roof lasts.
Each item we find is photographed and priced in writing, and routine upkeep is kept apart from any repair that needs its own price. On the villas of Nautica Isles, Sherwood Lakes and Olive Tree we look at the joint with the unit next door, and behind the block ranches of River Bridge and Pine Ridge we check the Florida room roofs too.
The phone at (561) 318-8624 is answered 24 hours a day.
Most Greenacres ranches carry shingle. Upkeep there means replacing lifted or creased tabs, resealing a pipe boot before it splits, and re-fastening drip edge that has worked loose, all fastened for the 160 mph band the city sits in.
Caught early, a lifted course or an open boot is a small job; left for a season, the water it lets in goes to work on the felt and the plywood below.
On a tile roof we reset slipped pieces, replace cracked ones with a matching profile, and repoint loose mortar at the ridges and hips. We step only on the parts of the tile that can take weight, so the visit does not cause the breaks it is meant to fix.
Clay barrel tile gets the same care, with the pieces lifted and reset rather than forced.
On a villa, the joint where one unit's roof meets the neighbor's wall is among the first details to fail, and checking it each year keeps both units dry. Behind many block ranches sits a Florida room or a roofed-over lanai, tied in by whoever built it.
We check the wall flashing where it meets the house and the seams where water sits, and note any spot that keeps holding water.
Some findings are bigger than maintenance: felt that crumbles wherever we lift a shingle or tile, a deck that gives underfoot, or wear across several slopes. When we find them we say so, photograph them and price the repair or re-roof separately from the upkeep.
Small repairs generally need no permit; when one is needed inside the city, it is filed on MGO Connect with the city's Roof Package form.
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.
I recently had the pleasure of working with Molsbee Roofing for a roof replacement, and I am thoroughly impressed with the entire process. From the detailed initial estimate, where all available options were clearly explained, to the quality workmanship and thorough cleanup.Read on Google

We signed or completed about twenty roofing jobs with a Greenacres address over the last twelve months.
All service areas ↗Once a year suits most Greenacres roofs, ideally before hurricane season, with an extra look after any storm that brings real wind. The yearly visit catches lifted shingle, slipped tile, loose ridge mortar and open flashings while they are small, and dated photographs let us compare this year's roof with last year's.
Between visits, watch for ceiling stains, pieces on the ground and water that sits on a flat roof, and call when you see a change.
There is no set fee, because the price follows what the free inspection finds. You get a written list with a price for each item, such as resealing a pipe boot, resetting tile, repointing a ridge or re-flashing a party wall, and you approve only the lines you want done.
Anything that is a repair rather than upkeep is priced as its own line, so the maintenance figure stays honest.
Under Florida's quarter-roof rule, work on more than a quarter of a roof system or section within any 12-month period generally means the covering across that whole system or section has to be replaced or recovered to current code. A system or section built, repaired or replaced under the 2007 Florida Building Code or a later edition only needs the part being worked on brought to current code.
Routine upkeep rarely comes near that line, and we measure the affected area first.
Upkeep that keeps the look the association already accepted usually follows its contractor and access rules rather than a full review. A different tile, shingle color or material is the kind of change it rules on, and in River Bridge or Nautica Isles the association letter comes before the city filing.
We ask for your association's current rules when you book.
It can be either. A Greenacres mailing address can sit inside the city or, on the west side toward Jog Road, in unincorporated county, and that decides who issues any permit the work needs.
Inside the city it goes on MGO Connect; on the county side it is filed on ePZB. We look up the parcel before writing the list.
