Lifetime Workmanship WarrantyMolsbee Roofing repairs and replaces commercial roofs in Lake Park, from the shop and office buildings on Park Avenue and US-1 to the industrial blocks west of Old Dixie Highway and the properties near Lake Park Harbor Marina. We start with a free roof inspection, then give you a written scope and price showing the membrane, the parapet and drain work, and how the job is phased around tenants and customers.
The permit goes through the Town and CAP, the firm that runs its building inspections. Where a building sits in the historic core, we ask the Historic Preservation Board's view before choosing visible materials.
Older buildings in the Kelsey City core along Park Avenue, 918 Park Avenue among them as the last original commercial building, can carry flat roofs behind low parapet walls. On those roofs the membrane is only part of the job: the joint where it turns up the wall, the wall cap and the drains decide whether it stays dry.
We photograph each and price them as named lines, so a proposal cannot leave out the wall work that lets a new membrane last.
The original town plan put industry west of the railroad and Old Dixie Highway, and low-slope roofs on those buildings raise the system question first. We weigh TPO, modified bitumen and roof coatings against the condition of the existing roof, the deck and the drainage, and recommend one on those facts.
Where a coating over a sound roof will do, we say so; where the layers underneath are wet, we show you why a tear-off is the sounder spend.
Shops and offices stay open while we work overhead, so the plan starts with how customers, staff and deliveries use the building. We set staging, material drops and debris removal away from entrances and agree them with the manager in advance.
Where the roof is done in phases, we mark each boundary in the proposal and leave the rest of the building watertight at the end of every working day.
Buildings near Lake Park Harbor Marina and Lake Shore Drive sit within a mile of the Intracoastal, where the design wind speed is 170 mph and salt reaches metal first. Edge metal, fasteners, equipment curbs and terminations wear there before the field of the membrane does.
We document their condition and price their replacement separately, so you can see whether the roof needs new details or a new system.
For work in Lake Park, confirm requirements with the building department responsible for the property and complete any required historic or HOA review before ordering materials or beginning work.
Lake Park's permits run through the town's Community Development Department, but the building official and inspectors are contracted to CAP, so every applicant registers with CAP before filing and fees are not refundable. The town posts its own Roof Permit Checklist and accepts a tin-tag and sheathing affidavit in place of live inspection of those stages.
The town also seats a Historic Preservation Board. Kelsey City, as Lake Park was called until 1939, keeps around a hundred buildings from the 1920s Land Boom through 1950, and there the board's read on tile and parapet detail comes first.
Within a mile of the Intracoastal the design wind speed is 170 mph; west of that, 160 mph, all of it wind-borne debris region. On the re-roofs we build, a self-adhered secondary water barrier goes over the deck.

It is priced on the building after a free inspection, because area is only the start. The membrane system, whether the old roof can stay or must come off, wet insulation found underneath, parapet and drain work, rooftop equipment that has to be lifted and the phasing around tenants all move the figure.
You get a written scope and price with each of those named, so the number can be checked line by line against another bid.
It can. If repairs, replacements or roof recovering cover more than a quarter of a roof system or section in any 12-month period, the code generally requires replacing or recovering the roof covering across that entire system or section to meet current code requirements.
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 worked on must meet applicable current code requirements. Our inspection helps determine which applies to your roof.
That matters when an owner plans to redo a Lake Park roof in phases, because the phases add up. We check the permit history and measure the areas before proposing a phased plan.
Choose one who shows you the roof before selling you one. Ask for photographs of any area described as wet or failed, a written scope naming the membrane, insulation, flashings and drains, and a phasing plan for your tenants.
Confirm the state roofing licence and that the contractor is registered with CAP for Lake Park permits. Our lifetime workmanship warranty and the manufacturer's warranty on the membrane both come in writing with the contract.
It may. Lake Park has a Historic Preservation Board and an inventory of buildings from the Kelsey City era, including Kelsey City Hall and 918 Park Avenue.
If your building is on it, or the new roof changes what people see from the street, we raise the question with the Town before materials are chosen. Work hidden behind a parapet may be treated differently from a change to a visible tile slope, so we ask rather than assume.
Often, when the rest of the membrane is sound and a watertight tie-in can be made at the edge of the repair. We inspect beyond the leak to find where sound roofing starts, and the proposal states exactly what stays and what is replaced.
If insulation is wet across a wider area or seams are failing throughout, we show you the photographs and price a replacement beside the repair, so the decision rests on what the roof shows.
