Greenacres · Tile roof replacement
Molsbee Roofing replaces tile roofs in Greenacres, where on a late-1980s block house the underlayment under the tile has usually worn out well before the tile. A roofer lifts tile at the valleys and eaves, checks the deck and the roof-to-wall straps, and hands you a written price for new tile over new underlayment, or, on a clay barrel roof, for resetting your own tile over it.
We re-roofed several houses on Indian Forest Circle and Marbletree Lane this past year, working from our shop in Lake Worth Beach, a short drive east on Lake Worth Road. Family-owned since 1975, Florida Certified Roofing Contractor CCC1327429; call 561-318-8624 at any hour.

Before the work starts
Before a tile reroof in Greenacres
Relay or new tile on a late-1980s Greenacres roof
The tile on a Greenacres roof of that age often looks fine; the felt or underlayment beneath it rarely is. On clay barrel tile with a profile still made and most pieces whole, we lift the tile, set it aside, lay new self-adhered underlayment, replace the flashings and reset it, filling gaps with matching new tile.
Concrete tile, the usual Greenacres roof, is priced as new tile over new underlayment. We count the cracked tile during the inspection, and every price sits on one written sheet.
What lifting the tile shows on a Greenacres block house
With the tile off, the plywood and the old underlayment are in plain view. Soft sheets are cut out and replaced and the deck is re-nailed, and we seal a self-adhered secondary water barrier over it, following the Florida Building Code's re-roof requirements.
On an older roof it is also when the roof-to-wall straps are brought up to standard. On a villa in Sherwood Lakes, we flash the party wall so the unit next door stays dry as well.
Everything is photographed before new material goes down, so you see the deck we saw.
The Greenacres tin-tag visit, before the tile goes back on
Greenacres takes no roofing affidavits, so a city inspector stands on your roof at sheathing, tin tag and in-progress before the final. On a tile job the tin-tag visit is the one that counts: it checks the new underlayment and its fastening while nothing covers it.
We book it the business day before, keep the roof dried in while we wait, and load the tile once it passes. West of Jog Road, part of the mailing area is county land, where the permit comes through ePZB and county inspectors do the visits.
Tile weight, River Bridge and Nautica Isles colours, and the warranties
Going from shingle to tile on a Greenacres house means checking what the trusses were framed to carry, because concrete tile weighs far more; staying with tile keeps that question off the table. In an association such as River Bridge or Nautica Isles, the approved profile and colour come from the association before we file with the city.
We are a GAF Certified Contractor and an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor. Our lifetime workmanship warranty covers the installation and the manufacturer covers the tile, both in writing before work starts.

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.

I had a roof leak that needed attention, and Molsbee Roofing was honestly a breath of fresh air. They came out quickly, found the issue right away, and didn't try to sell me on a full roof replacement or push any unnecessary work — just straightforward, honest service.Read on Google

Tile roof replacement questions in Greenacres
What does a tile roof replacement cost in Greenacres?
Our Greenacres range above covers every full re-roof we signed in the city last year, all materials together, and tile sits in its upper part. Nearly all of those jobs were whole houses rather than sections, which is why the middle price here runs high.
Inside that range, a tile price moves with the roof area and pitch, whether a clay barrel roof can have its own tile reset, how much plywood the tear-off exposes, and the flashings and metal. The free inspection gives you each price that applies, in writing.
How much is a tile roof on a 2,000 square foot house in Greenacres?
We price the roof, not the floor plan, so the living area is only a starting point. A Greenacres ranch with deep overhangs, a garage and a covered patio carries more roof than its square footage suggests, and hips, valleys and pitch add labour and tile.
The other big swing is the tile itself: on clay barrel tile, resetting sound pieces over new underlayment takes most of the new-tile purchase off the sheet, while concrete tile is priced as new. After measuring your roof we give you the totals in writing, with the measured roof area beside them.
Can my Greenacres tile roof be relaid instead of replaced?
On clay barrel tile, often yes, when the profile is still manufactured and most of the tile is whole; concrete tile roofs are priced as new tile over new underlayment. A relay renews everything that actually keeps water out, the underlayment, flashings and metal, while keeping tile that still has years in it.
It is the wrong call when your tile is a discontinued profile, because patched-in pieces will never match on a street like Indian Forest Circle where the neighbours can see the roof. We count cracked and slipped tile during the inspection and tell you which case you have.
Does the quarter-roof rule apply to my tile roof in Greenacres?
It can. Florida's quarter-roof rule: when more than a quarter of a roof system or section is repaired, replaced or recovered in any 12-month period, the roof covering across that entire system or section must be replaced or recovered to meet current code requirements.
An exception applies 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 repaired, replaced or recovered must meet applicable current code requirements. Our inspection helps determine which applies to your roof.
On tile, a string of slipped-tile and valley repairs is how owners get there. We measure the failed area against the roof system or section it belongs to before we price.
Can I finance a new tile roof in Greenacres?
Yes. Financing is available on approved credit, and we walk you through the options when you ask.
Before choosing a loan on a clay barrel roof, look at the reset price, because keeping sound barrel tile and replacing only what lies under it usually costs less than new tile. Every option arrives on one written sheet after the free inspection, so you can set them next to the financing terms.
However the roof is paid for, the scope and the price stay in writing from the first visit to the final inspection.
