Highland Beach · Roof inspection
Roofing in Highland Beach since 1975.
Roofs on tall buildings are inspected less often than roofs on houses, and the reason is simply that nobody is ever up there by accident. A homeowner sees their roof from the garden.
A resident several storeys below sees nothing at all, and a manager visits the roof when something has already gone wrong. So on a building along this strip the honest starting point is that the condition is genuinely unknown until somebody surveys it properly, and that what is found is frequently older than anyone expected.
The survey itself is straightforward and costs nothing. On a flat deck the roofer maps the roof into sections and works them in order, examining the field, every seam, every upstand and every one of the penetrations that plant, lift overruns, stair enclosures, aerials and davit supports create.
He checks each termination and length of edge metal, which on this coast fail before the membrane does. He clears and tests every outlet, because a large deck with a blocked outlet holds a serious weight of water.
He looks specifically at anything installed by another trade, since kerbs without upstands and supports bearing on the membrane are the commonest findings. On a townhome terrace or a house the work is the pitched-roof version of the same discipline: covering opened at several points, hardware examined piece by piece, collars, valleys and flashings checked.
Everything is photographed against the section it is on, and the report divides what cannot wait from what can be scheduled. It is worth booking one before it is needed rather than after.
A first survey carried out calmly, with the roof dry and nobody's ceiling open, produces a far more useful document than one carried out in the week a building is already in trouble. We are Molsbee Roofing, family-run since 1975, based in Lake Worth Beach, licensed CCC1327429.

Good to know
What to know.
- Nobody goes up there by accident
On a tall building the roof is out of sight and out of routine, so problems accumulate for years without anyone reporting them. That is not neglect so much as architecture, and it is the reason a first proper survey on a building that has not had one often reads worse than a board expects. It is also why the findings are almost always cheaper to act on than they would have been a further three years later.
- Every penetration, individually
Plant, ducting, lift overruns, stair enclosures, aerials, davits and their supports all interrupt the covering, and many were put there or altered by trades other than roofing. Each is surveyed and photographed on its own rather than as part of a general impression, because collectively they account for most leaks on these roofs and because a fault at one of them is specific, findable and fixable.
- Mapped sections, so the record compounds
The roof is divided into sections and every finding is logged against one. That makes the report readable by a board, budgetable against a reserve, and comparable next time, because the following survey reports change section by section instead of issuing a fresh overall verdict. On a large deck that is the difference between a document that informs a decision and one that simply says the roof is old.
- Free, and free either way
There is no charge for the survey whether or not any work follows, and if a roof is in good order the report says so. On a building where the board is weighing a substantial reserve decision, an independent set of photographs and a written condition report is worth having regardless of who eventually does the work, and the images belong to the association to use as it sees fit.

Roofing questions
Frequently asked questions.
Is the roof survey free in Highland Beach?
Yes, for owners and for associations, and free whatever it finds. The roof is mapped into sections and worked in order, every penetration and termination is examined and photographed, the outlets are cleared and tested, and you receive the images with a written report dividing urgent items from schedulable ones. If the roof is sound the report says so and there is no bill. We cover 33487. Call 561-318-8624.
Our building has never had a roof survey. What should we expect?
Probably a longer list than the board is anticipating, and most of it inexpensive. Roofs on tall buildings are out of sight and out of routine, so small faults at penetrations, terminations and outlets accumulate quietly for years. The useful part is that almost all of them are far cheaper to correct now than after another few seasons, and the survey gives you a documented baseline to measure everything against from here on.
How does a survey help our reserve schedule?
By replacing an assumed remaining life with an observed one. Reserve numbers are usually built on the age of the covering and a rule of thumb. A mapped, photographed survey either supports that or corrects it, and a board that can point to evidence is in a far stronger position with owners than one relying on a figure whose origin nobody remembers. Repeat surveys then show the trend rather than a series of separate opinions.
Can you survey while the building is occupied?
Yes, and it is far less disruptive than any actual work. A survey needs roof access and a couple of hours, arranged with the manager, and residents are generally unaware it has happened. That is precisely why it is worth doing before there is a problem, since the alternative is a first look at the roof taking place under time pressure with water already inside somebody's home.
What happens if you find something serious?
You get the photographs, an explanation of what it is and a written price, and nothing proceeds without the board's agreement. Genuinely urgent items are identified as such and separated from work that can reasonably wait for a budget year. If a section has failed, we say so plainly with the images that show it, so the decision rests on evidence the board can circulate rather than on a contractor's characterisation of the roof.
