Roof leak repair in Highland Beach

Highland Beach is three miles of oceanfront and every roof in town is a coastal roof. The town is one road wide, A1A between the Atlantic and the Intracoastal, and from Bel Lido and Byrd Beach at the north end through Ocean Cove, Ocean Grande Place and Highland Beach Isles to Delray By the Sea and Camino Cove at the south, salt reaches every roof in 33487 from both sides. That decides what a Highland Beach leak is. On the single-family homes, where tile and standing-seam metal are the roofs the town's current page already describes as its systems, the leak is almost never the tile or the panel. It is the hidden metal: valley flashing, drip edge, hip and ridge fasteners, and on metal roofs the clips and screws, corroding to lace while the surface looks new. On the condominium and townhome buildings that make up much of the town, the Edgewater Townhomes and the associations along the ocean and the Intracoastal, the flat and low-slope roofs hold water after every storm, and salt eats the drains, scuppers and edge metal long before the membrane wears out. The stain is never where the water got in. It travels along the felt or the membrane until a nail, a seam or a drain lets it drop, often rooms away or a floor down, so patching the ceiling and waiting fixes nothing. Molsbee Roofing has been a family business since 1975, based in Lake Worth Beach and working Palm Beach County, Jupiter to Boca Raton, and repairs are the bulk of what we do. In Highland Beach a roofer walks the roof and, where there is access, the attic or the mechanical level; traces the stain uphill; probes the valley, eave and edge metal; lifts tile at the suspect laps or checks the membrane at its seams and drains; photographs the entry point; and hands you or your board the pictures with an itemized price for exactly that repair. If the roof is sound you hear that. If stainless or copper metal will hold it for years, that is the job, and we stand behind it. If the felt or the membrane has failed across the roof, the photographs make the case without a pitch. Free roof inspections in 33487, for homeowners and for associations. After a storm, a secured tarp comes first and the permanent repair follows once the deck is dry. Open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at 561-318-8624.
