A Molsbee roofer inspects your Jupiter roof for free, from the covering down to the underlayment, flashings and attic deck, and you get labeled photographs with a plain written verdict: sound, repair or replace. Anything that needs doing is priced in writing, and the report belongs to you, to keep or pass to a buyer, a seller or the association in Abacoa, Admirals Cove or Jonathan's Landing.
Near the Inlet and the Loxahatchee River we give edge metal and fasteners a closer look for salt. To book, call (561) 318-8624, answered 24 hours a day; we are licensed as Florida Certified Roofing Contractor CCC1327429.

What we inspect in Jupiter
Waterfront roofs: salt gets to the metal first
Along the Loxahatchee River, the Intracoastal and the beach, salt comes at a roof off both the river and the ocean, and it attacks the metal before the covering. We check valleys, drip edges, wall flashings and exposed fasteners for rust, and on a standing-seam roof we examine the seams, clips and trim.
On tile we lift pieces at the suspect spots and photograph the metal and underlayment beneath, because corrosion under sound-looking tile is the leak owners in Admirals Cove and Jonathan's Landing rarely see coming.
Abacoa: the roof on your house, not your street
In Abacoa the roofing changes with the neighbourhood, tile on one street and metal or asphalt shingle on another, so an inspection in Mallory Creek can look nothing like one in Antigua or Windsor Park. Under tile we look for tired underlayment at valleys, chimneys and pipe boots; on shingle, for brittle or lifted tabs along the edges and slopes; on metal, at seams and fasteners.
Where the attic is reachable we check the deck for stains and the roof-to-wall connections. Each finding is judged on your roof, not on the work next door.
The town permit file, and what only opening the roof shows
The Town of Jupiter keeps its own permit records, separate from the county, in its JCDS portal, and we read your roof's permit history alongside what we find on the roof. Bring any earlier proposal or warranty certificate.
The report also says what the visit could not see: underlayment under tile we did not lift, the deck under an intact covering and its fasteners. If a later repair opens those areas, anything found is photographed and priced as its own line before it is covered, and the work carries our lifetime workmanship warranty.
What the report says, and when to book one
The verdict comes in the first line: the roof is sound, needs a repair, needs the underlayment renewed under the tile, or needs replacing. Each finding points to a labeled photograph, and each recommended job is priced on its own line, so you can do the urgent work now and plan the rest.
Good times to book are after a named storm, while you are under contract on a house, when a ceiling stain shows up, or ahead of an association roof review. When you call, mention the gate procedure and clear a path to the attic hatch.
How it works in Jupiter

Permits in Jupiter
For work in Jupiter, confirm requirements with the building department responsible for the property and complete any required historic or HOA review before ordering materials or beginning work.
Jupiter runs its own building department on Military Trail, separate from the county, and everything goes through the Jupiter Community Development System: the re-roof permit, the documents and every inspection booking. The town also writes the working hours into its code: Monday to Friday 7 am to 8 pm, Saturday 8 am to 4 pm, and no work on Sundays.
Along the beach, the Intracoastal and the Loxahatchee River the design wind speed is 170 mph; inland it drops to 160 mph. The flood maps changed in December 2024, and the town says the new lines reach low-lying streets and canal and lake lots, not just A1A. On our re-roofs a self-adhered secondary water barrier is sealed to the deck before the new roof goes on.
- River mouth, inlet and beach
- Jupiter sits where the Loxahatchee River meets the Atlantic at the inlet, so salt air reaches roofs from two sides. Edge metal, flashing and fastener choice matter more here than a few miles inland.
- Abacoa's street-by-street roofs
- In Abacoa the roofs are tile, metal or asphalt shingle depending on the neighbourhood, from Antigua to Mallory Creek. We match the existing material and profile so the street still reads as one.
- Houses from the late 1980s
- The median Jupiter home dates to 1989. In Admirals Cove and Jonathan's Landing that means original tile and underlayment reaching the end of their life together, so we inspect both, not just the surface.
What homeowners say
I recently had the pleasure of working with Molsbee Roofing for a roof replacement, and I am thoroughly impressed with the entire process. From the detailed initial estimate, where all available options were clearly explained, to the quality workmanship and thorough cleanup.Read on Google

There is no charge for the visit, the photographs or the written verdict; any repair or re-roof it turns up is priced on its own sheet, in writing.

Roof inspection questions in Jupiter
How much does a roof inspection cost in Jupiter?
Nothing: there is no fee for the visit, the photo set or the written findings, and you keep them even if you never hire us. A roofer goes up, lifts tile at the suspect spots, checks the underlayment and flashings, and looks at the attic deck where access allows.
If anything needs doing, each item is priced separately and in writing, so you can set it against another roofer's figure line by line, and if the roof needs nothing, the report says that too.
What is the quarter-roof rule in Florida, and does it apply to my Jupiter roof?
Florida's quarter-roof rule: when more than a quarter of a roof system or section is repaired, replaced or recovered in any 12-month period, the roof covering across that entire system or section must be replaced or recovered to meet current code requirements. An exception applies if that system or section was built, repaired or replaced in compliance with the 2007 Florida Building Code or a later edition: only the portion being repaired, replaced or recovered must meet applicable current code requirements.
Our inspection helps determine which applies to your roof. We check your permit record with the town before advising on any large repair.
Is a 15-year-old roof in Jupiter due for replacement?
Not on age alone. The question is whether the layers under the covering still work, meaning the underlayment, the flashings and the deck, and in Jupiter that depends on where the house sits: a tile roof near the Inlet can have rusting flashings under good tile, while a sheltered roof inland toward Jupiter Farms can stay sound for years longer.
The inspection answers the question with photographs of the layers that decide it, and if replacement is due, the report says so and the price comes in writing.
What is the average lifespan of a roof in Jupiter?
It depends on the layer and the exposure, not the roof as a whole. Tile itself is rarely what gives out first; the underlayment under it, the pipe boots and the flashings wear on their own clocks, and salt air near the beach and the river ages edge metal and fasteners faster still.
In Admirals Cove and Jonathan's Landing many roofs are original to their houses, with tile and underlayment reaching the end of their life together, which is why we inspect both rather than judge from the street.
Is a roof inspection worth it before buying a home in Jupiter?
Yes, especially on an older house or one near the water. A general home inspection gives the roof a quick look; ours lifts tile, checks the underlayment and attic, and looks up the permit record with the town.
Any work it finds is priced in writing, which gives you a figure to negotiate with before closing. In Abacoa or a club community, the report's dated photographs also give the association what it asks for when a roof proposal goes in for review.
