Highland Beach · Commercial roofing
Commercial roofing in Highland Beach is mostly association work: the town has very few businesses, the Delray Sands Resort among them, and its larger roofs sit on the condominium buildings along South Ocean Boulevard. We start with a free inspection of the whole roof, then give the board or manager a photographed scope and a written price that separates repair from replacement.
Before any dates are set, we plan how materials and debris will move along the island's single road and how the work fits the town's weekday hours.

Commercial roofs in Highland Beach
Choosing a roofer for a Highland Beach association building
Ask for the state license, the roof systems proposed with their product approvals, and a written scope in lines rather than a single total. Ask how the contractor will stage on a single-road island and whether it is registered on the town's MyGovernmentOnline portal.
Molsbee Roofing is family-owned, a GAF Certified Contractor, an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor and Carlisle-certified for TPO, and our lifetime workmanship warranty is written alongside the manufacturers' product warranties.
Findings a condominium board can check for itself
A board should never have to take a roof report on trust. Every finding in our scope has a photograph tied to its place on the roof, test cuts show whether the insulation is wet, and drains are tested rather than assumed.
If a repair will do, the scope says so and names what stays in place; if the roof needs replacing, the evidence sits in the same file.
Weekday staging along South Ocean Boulevard
Town code sets weekday working hours, allows only quiet work on Saturdays with no dumpsters, dump trucks or concrete trucks, and keeps Sundays and holidays free of construction. On a building reached by a single road, deliveries, lift placement and debris pickups also compete with residents and service vehicles for limited space.
We agree the loading area, lift position, resident notices and daily sequence with the manager before reserving equipment.
Phasing a tower roof across reserve years
A low-slope roof on a large building can sometimes be replaced in sections, which spreads the cost across several fiscal years but adds tie-ins and repeated setup. Whether phasing makes sense depends on how much of the roof is still sound and on the permit history of each section.
We show the board both paths in writing, with the assumptions behind each, so the vote compares like with like.

Permits and code
Permits in Highland Beach
On a commercial roof in Highland Beach, the permit through MyGovernmentOnline customer portal is filed with the building's scope and phasing, so tenants know the schedule before we start.
Highland Beach runs its own Building Department at 3616 South Ocean Boulevard, and every contractor registers on the town's MyGovernmentOnline portal before filing. The town has published no review time for roofing permits, so we do not quote one.
The working calendar is written into town code. Weekdays run 8 am to 6 pm. Saturdays run 9 to 3 with no noise carrying across the lot line and no dumpsters, concrete trucks or dump trucks, which means a tear-off is staged Monday to Friday. Sundays and holidays are off.
The whole island sits in the 170 mph design wind band and the wind-borne debris region. The code sets the secondary water barrier rules for a re-roof and permits more than one method; we seal a self-adhered barrier over the deck before the new roof goes on.
Local conditionsBuilt for Highland Beach
- One road, ocean on both sides
- Highland Beach is a strip of barrier island on A1A with the Delray Sands Resort as one of its two businesses, more water than land, and under mandatory evacuation from a Category 2 storm.
- More homes than year-round residents
- Highland Beach counts more housing units than people; over four in ten stood empty at the 2020 census. Many roofs get done while the owner is away, so our photo record matters.
- Buildings from the early 1980s
- The typical Highland Beach building dates to 1983, and its roof may have been replaced since; the permit history tells us.

Commercial roofing questions in Highland Beach
What is the quarter-roof rule for a Highland Beach condominium roof?
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. We pull the permit history and measure the affected area before the board chooses.
How much does commercial roofing cost in Highland Beach?
The price follows the building: roof area and height, how materials are lifted and debris removed, wet insulation, deck condition, rooftop equipment that has to be raised or flashed, and whether the work is phased. The town's Saturday limits can also lengthen the schedule.
We do not publish a town figure; after the free inspection the board receives a written price with each assumption stated, and financing is available on approved credit.
Which permit portal does Highland Beach use for commercial roofs?
The Town Building Department on South Ocean Boulevard takes permits through its MyGovernmentOnline customer portal, and every contractor registers there before filing. The same desk also handles permits for neighbouring Gulf Stream.
A building with a Highland Beach address is filed with the town, not with Boca Raton, even though the postal code is shared, and we answer review comments through the same record.
Can a Highland Beach board repair the roof now and replace it later?
Often, if the inspection supports a defined repair. We explain what the repair fixes, what it leaves in place and how the rest of the roof is ageing, without ever describing a patch as a new roof.
The board gets the photographs and the limits of the repair in writing, so the later replacement decision starts from a clear record rather than guesswork or a fresh round of opinions.
How long does a commercial roof project take in Highland Beach?
It depends on the roof's size, the system and the permit review, and the town publishes no review time for roofing permits, so we do not promise one. Once the permit is issued, work runs on weekdays, with only quiet tasks on Saturdays and nothing on Sundays or holidays.
We give the manager a phased schedule with each roof area, its staging and its protection, and update it if weather or review comments move a date.
