Lifetime Workmanship WarrantyThere is no Highland Beach figure on this page because we have not signed enough re-roofs in this town over the last twelve months to build one that means anything, and a made-up town median is worse than none. So here is our own county data instead.
Full residential re-roofs across Palm Beach County cost between about $8,000 and $48,000 over the last twelve months, and the middle of the pack was just under $20,000. A Highland Beach roof normally sits in the upper half of that, and there is a line here that most towns do not have.
On foam polyurethane adhesive-set concrete or clay tile the town requires field uplift testing on the permit, on new work and on re-roofs alike, so the testing agency and the report are part of the price of a tile roof rather than an afterthought. Beyond that the drivers are the ordinary coastal ones: larger houses, mostly tile, the county's coastal wind rating on the fastening and underlayment, and edge, valley and flashing metal in a grade that survives salt on both sides of a three-mile island.
Molsbee Roofing is a family company, roofing Palm Beach County since 1975 from our shop in Lake Worth Beach, Florida Certified Roofing Contractor CCC1327429. Free roof inspections and every line in writing.

Highland Beach is a three-mile strip with one road, and it has two roofing markets on it. The towers along South Ocean Boulevard carry low-slope membrane roofs owned by their associations, and those are priced on drainage, detailing, access and protection.
The houses on Bel Lido and Byrd Beach carry tile, and those are priced on area, pitch, tile system and metal. A single town median averaging the two would describe neither, and we have not signed enough re-roofs here to build one anyway.
The county range above is what we can stand behind; the free inspection turns it into your roof's figure.
Area and pitch come first, and oceanfront houses tend to have large, cut-up roofs. Then the tile system: on foam adhesive-set concrete or clay tile the town requires field uplift testing on the permit, so the testing agency and its report are a line on the estimate rather than a surprise afterwards.
Then the metal, because salt reaches these roofs from the Atlantic and from the Intracoastal and the valleys, flashings and drip edge have to be in a grade that lasts here. Once the old covering is off, we lay a self-adhered secondary water barrier on the deck before new tile.
On a condominium the association is the owner for permitting, and the number belongs to the board. Low-slope roofs can be staged over fiscal years, and the honest question is whether staging saves money or only delays it, so boards get both prices from us with the survey behind each.
The town's working calendar matters here too: weekday hours are set in code, Saturdays allow no dumpsters, concrete trucks or dump trucks, and Sundays and holidays are off. A tear-off on a large building is therefore planned Monday to Friday, and the lift, hoist and protection lines are priced to that plan.
Not every leak on this island is a new roof, and on a roof that has been kept up it is usually a piece of metal or a failed outlet. Most repairs we signed across Palm Beach County last year cost between about $1,500 and $4,800, with the middle around $1,800.
A collar, a length of drip edge or a scupper repair sits low; a rebuilt valley or new underlayment under lifted tile sits high. Florida's quarter-roof rule can limit how far repairs go; the inspection checks whether it applies.
In Highland Beach the permit through MyGovernmentOnline customer portal, the wind band and what the tear-off reveals are the three things that move a roof price, so they come first in any quote.
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
Molsbee roofing has been a complete pleasure from the initial phone call all the way to the final inspection. They have been responsive, efficient, and proactive. If you need a new roof highly recommend Molsbee roofing as they were quick and easy.Read on Google
We signed or completed a few roofing jobs with a Highland Beach address over the last twelve months.
Across Palm Beach County our full re-roofs ran between about $8,000 and $48,000 last year with the middle near $19,800; Highland Beach gave us too few to quote a town figure.

We have not signed enough re-roofs in this town to print a Highland Beach figure, so here is the county one from our own jobs. Across Palm Beach County our full residential re-roofs ran between about $8,000 and $48,000 last year, with half of them under $20,000.
A tile roof on a Bel Lido or Byrd Beach house sits in the upper part of that range; a condominium roof is priced on a different basis altogether. The free inspection puts a written number on yours.
Yes, on a different basis. A tile roof on a house is measured by area and pitch, with the tile system, the uplift testing and the metal grade as its main lines.
A low-slope roof on a tower is measured by drainage, terminations, outlets, access, protection of the building below and the staging needed to get material up and old roofing down. The association, not an individual owner, holds the permit after turnover, and the estimate is written for a board to read.
It changes the plan more than the rate. Town code sets weekday working hours and allows no dumpsters, concrete trucks or dump trucks on Saturdays, with Sundays and holidays off.
So a tear-off is staged Monday to Friday, deliveries and the dumpster swap are booked for weekdays, and the sequence is written so that a section opened on a weekday is dried in on a weekday. On a house the effect is small; on a large building it shapes how the access and protection lines are priced.
Yes. Highland Beach has more homes than year-round residents, and over four in ten stood empty at the last census, so pricing a roof for an owner who is elsewhere is normal here.
We arrange access through whoever you name, walk the roof, photograph every elevation and outlet, and send the written estimate to you. If you go ahead, the photo record continues through the job, so you can see the deck, the underlayment and the finished roof without being on the island.
Phone 561-318-8624, answered at any hour, or book the free roof inspection. A roofer measures the roof, opens the covering at chosen points, photographs the valleys, flashings, outlets and edge metal, and identifies whether the tile is foam-set or mechanically fastened.
The estimate comes back as lines: lift or tear-off, deck repair allowance, secondary water barrier and underlayment, the covering, uplift testing where the town requires it, metal by grade, permit and inspections, cleanup.
