Lifetime Workmanship WarrantyMetal roof replacement in Highland Beach means tearing off the old covering, laying the self-adhered secondary water barrier we specify over the deck, and fastening new metal to the schedule for the island's coastal wind band. We start with a free roof inspection and give you a written price with the panel, trim and fasteners named line by line.
With the Atlantic to the east and the Intracoastal to the west, salt reaches every elevation, which is why we recommend standing seam: its clips sit under the seam, out of the weather. The town's field uplift test covers foam adhesive-set concrete and clay tile, not metal, though a condominium still needs its board's decision alongside the town permit.
Molsbee Roofing has been family-run since 1975, working from Lake Worth Beach under Florida license CCC1327429, and the phone is answered 24 hours a day at 561-318-8624.
An exposed-fastener panel is held down by screws driven through the metal, each sealed with a washer that hardens and cracks in sun and salt. On a house in Bel Lido or Highland Beach Isles, salt reaches those screw heads from the ocean and the Intracoastal alike.
Standing seam fixes the panel with clips hidden under the raised seam, so no fastener sits exposed in the field of the roof. It costs more, and it is the system we quote here unless you ask to see both.
Metal roofs rarely fail in the middle of a panel. They fail at the ridge cap, hips, rakes, valleys and wall flashings, at the sealant where each run ends, and at fasteners of the wrong alloy that corrode against the panel.
Our written price names the panel gauge and finish, then gives the trim, clips and fasteners their own lines and grades, chosen for a roof that lives in salt air rather than for an inland average.
The Town Building Department on South Ocean Boulevard takes permits through its MyGovernmentOnline portal, registers every contractor before filing, and accepts the January 2024 edition of the universal county and municipal permit application. An older form is sent back.
We file the current edition with the panel's product approval and the fastening schedule attached, then book the inspections the permit calls for.
On a condominium the roof belongs to the association, and once the developer has handed over control the association is the owner on the permit, so a metal roof is the board's decision. Metal suits the sloped parts of a building, such as mansards, entry roofs and tower roofs, while the flat deck usually takes a membrane.
We survey the whole building, mark which parts are which and present the specification to the board in writing.
On a metal reroof in Highland Beach, the permit through MyGovernmentOnline customer portal and any appearance review decide when the panels can be ordered, so we settle them before the material.
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.
We had a wonderful experience with Molsbee Roofing replacing our flat roof. The team did a fantastic job, the new flat roof looks great! I also enjoyed working with Nicole and Merrick, they were very professional from start to finish. The roofers were hard-working and thorough.Read on Google

Corrosion at the details, not the panel. Salt from the Atlantic and the Intracoastal attacks exposed screws, hardened washers, thin trim and fasteners of a mismatched metal, and a roof starts leaking at those points while the panels still look fine.
Standing seam removes the exposed fasteners from the field, and naming the trim and fastener grades in writing covers the rest. Debris can dent a panel too, so we state the gauge you are buying.
The price depends on the roof's area and pitch, how cut up it is, the panel system and gauge, the trim and fastener grades, and what the tear-off reveals in the deck. Standing seam is the more expensive system and the one we recommend on the island.
We do not publish a town figure; after the free inspection you get a written price in lines, including a deck repair allowance with its rate, and financing is available on approved credit.
Yes. A metal re-roof is permitted through the Town Building Department's MyGovernmentOnline portal, with the panel's product approval and the fastening schedule for the island's coastal wind band.
The town's field uplift test does not apply, because it covers foam adhesive-set concrete and clay tile. Inspections follow the permit, and once the old covering comes off the deck is built to the code's secondary water barrier requirements with the self-adhered membrane we specify.
It holds when the whole system is built for the island's coastal wind band, not only the panel. That means the approved clip spacing, tighter fastening at the eaves, rakes and corners, trim that is fastened as carefully as the panels, and a sealed secondary water barrier beneath, so a damaged panel does not become water in the house.
The town is a mandatory evacuation zone, so we photograph the finished roof for your records.
Book the free roof inspection or ring 561-318-8624 and tell us whether it is a house or a condominium building. A roofer measures each plane, checks the deck and edges, and photographs the roof.
The written price comes in lines: tear-off, deck repair allowance, secondary water barrier, panel with gauge and finish, trim, clips and fasteners with grades named, permit and inspections, and the final clean-up of the site.
