Lifetime Workmanship WarrantyRoof maintenance in Highland Beach means a roofer visits on a schedule, clears the drains and valleys, checks the edge metal and flashings that salt attacks from both waters, and photographs each detail so the next visit can compare. It starts with a free roof inspection and ends with a written work list, with any repair priced on its own so upkeep and repair never blur together.
For a condominium on South Ocean Boulevard we work through the building manager; for a house on the Intracoastal side, through the owner or whoever holds the keys while the owner is away. Molsbee Roofing is a family company that has served Palm Beach County since 1975: Florida Certified Roofing Contractor CCC1327429, GAF Certified Contractor and Owens Corning Preferred Contractor.
Call 561-318-8624 to book the first visit.
Salt reaches a Highland Beach roof from the ocean and from the Intracoastal, so no side of the building gets a rest. On each visit we check the drip edge, valley metal, wall flashings, vent collars and fasteners on every side we can reach, and photograph the same details every time.
When a piece is thinning we say so while it is still a small repair, not after it has let water in.
On a low-slope condominium roof, upkeep is mostly about water leaving. We clear the drains and scuppers, check the clamping ring and membrane at each outlet, and look at pitch pans and curbs around the rooftop equipment, where sealant shrinks and pulls away first.
Parapet caps, coping joints and seams are checked, and any area where water still stands after rain is marked. Each finding is listed by location with the task it needs, so a clear drain beside an open seam is never read as a pass.
Highland Beach counts more homes than year-round residents, so many roofs go unwatched for months at a time. Our photographs are dated and tied to roof locations, which lets an owner who is away, or a board meeting remotely, see exactly what we saw.
Over several visits that file shows which details are stable and which are getting worse, and that comparison is the real value of maintenance.
The houses tucked behind and between the towers carry sloped roofs, and their list is different from a deck's. We clear leaves and sand from the valleys, look for cracked or slipped tile, cracked ridge mortar, lifted shingle edges or loose panel fasteners, and check the flashing where roof meets wall or chimney.
On clay barrel tile a failed spot of underlayment is a detach-and-reset repair: we lift the tile, replace the underlayment and reset the same tile, with crews in protective, safe footwear.
For work in Highland Beach, confirm requirements with the building department responsible for the property and complete any required historic or HOA review before ordering materials or beginning work.
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.
Molsbee Roofing was amazing. I called needing a roof leak repaired. They were able to get a crew out the next day. Very professional. Everyone had Molsbee shirts on, Molsbee trucks. They took before pictures, pictures of the wood, pictures of every step of the repair. I will be doing my new roof with Molsbee Roofing.Read on Google
Molsbee Roofing has made getting a new roof an exceptional experience. They have been very responsive throughout the process. I am impressed that the final completion of a tile roof was completed in under 30 days from signing and provided at a competitive price.Read on Google
We signed or completed a few roofing jobs with a Highland Beach address over the last twelve months.

Set a regular visit and add one after any serious storm. The right interval depends on the roof type and its exposure, and a building facing the Atlantic or the Intracoastal needs its metal checked more often than a sheltered roof on the mainland.
We suggest the timing after the first inspection, based on what we find, and use the same checklist on every visit so the photographs can be compared.
Nothing. Our roof inspection is free for a house or a condominium building, and the photographs are yours whether or not you hire us.
If the visit turns up maintenance tasks or repairs, each one is priced in writing on its own line, so you can approve the upkeep now and plan the larger items for later. Financing is available on approved credit when the work is bigger than routine care.
No, age alone does not decide it. The typical Highland Beach building is decades old, but many roofs on it have been replaced since, so we first check the permit record to date the roof you actually have.
The inspection then shows whether the covering, metal and drains are sound. Upkeep can keep a healthy roof working; it cannot rescue one whose underlayment has failed, and we will tell you which one you have.
An authorized contact, the route to the roof, keys or codes for the hatch, and any rules about moving through lobbies, lifts or shared corridors. Tell us where equipment can stand and who receives the report.
With that settled, the visit covers the whole roof instead of stopping at a locked door, and anything we could not reach is named in the findings so nothing is assumed.
Maintenance keeps a sound roof sound: clearing drains and valleys, resealing a small detail and recording the metal. Repair replaces something that has failed, such as a corroded flashing, a torn membrane seam or broken tile.
Whether a repair needs a permit depends on its scope, and the town's Building Department sets which inspections apply. Town code allows only quiet work on Saturdays, so bigger repairs are booked on weekdays.
Our list marks each item as upkeep or repair, with photographs, and every repair carries our lifetime workmanship warranty and the manufacturers' product warranties on new material. When your insurer asks for a roof certification letter after a repair, we provide one.
