Lifetime Workmanship WarrantyCommercial roofing in Lake Worth Beach starts with a free inspection and a written scope that accounts for the building's roof and its place in the city. Our shop is in Lake Worth Beach.
For an Old Town commercial building, historic review can be part of an exterior change; along Lake Avenue or Lucerne Avenue, entrances and deliveries also shape the work. We document the roof condition, establish the applicable City process and plan repair or replacement around the property's actual access and use.
On a Dixie Highway storefront or a Lake Worth Road plaza the choice between a single-ply membrane and modified bitumen follows the deck, the slope and what sits on the roof, not a brochure. Before we name a system we cut core samples through the existing roof to read each layer and find wet insulation, because a new membrane over saturated board fails from below.
The proposal states the membrane, the insulation thickness, the fastening or adhesive, and whether the tear-off goes to the deck or the dry layers stay.
Old Town is a local historic district, so a change to a roof that shows from Lake Avenue or Lucerne Avenue can need a certificate of appropriateness from the Historic Resources Preservation Board before the Building Division will issue the permit. A flat roof behind a parapet rarely changes the street view; parapet caps, tile edges and exposed metal do.
We check the property's status, file the review where it applies, then submit the roof permit on the city's online application. This is our home town and we deal with that desk every week.
Nearly every building we roof here stays open during the work. We sequence the roof in sections so each day's tear-off is dried in before the afternoon rain, and we agree the crane or conveyor position, the dumpster spot and the hours with the owner and each tenant before we start.
Along Lucerne Avenue the alley is the staging that does not block a storefront, so the plan names it. Tenants get the schedule in writing, know which entrance stays clear, and have a site contact for fumes, noise or a blocked door.
A low-slope roof in Lake Worth Beach has to move heavy summer rain to its drains and scuppers fast, and near Bryant Park and the lagoon the wind carries salt onto every edge. We survey the slope to each drain, the scupper sizes and the parapet flashings before we price, and we add tapered insulation where water has been standing.
The written scope says which flashings, terminations and drains are renewed and which stay, so the price covers the whole roof edge and not only the field.
On a commercial roof in Lake Worth Beach, the permit through online permit application is filed with the building's scope and phasing, so tenants know the schedule before we start.
This is our home town, and its permit desk is at 1900 2nd Avenue North. Permits are filed on the city's online application, with lookups and inspection scheduling in Click2Gov; the city takes next-day inspection requests until 4 pm. Because the city owns its electric utility, the service mast and weatherhead are coordinated with Lake Worth Beach Electric, not FPL.
Six local historic districts, College Park, Northeast Lucerne, Old Lucerne, Old Town, Southeast Lucerne and South Palm Park, sit under the Historic Resources Preservation Board, and a certificate of appropriateness is required before the permit can be issued. The board has refused standing seam over an original metal-shingle roof on North Ocean Breeze: the replacement has to replicate the look of the original. The mainland is 160 mph; the lagoon front and the Casino strip are 170 mph.
Molsbee Roofing was a pleasure to work with. While waiting for new roof tiles, they immediately showed up to repair existing leak so that no further damage would occur while waiting for new roof installation. They were in constant communication and we're pleased with our new roof.Read on Google
Molsbee Roofing installed my roof in West Palm Beach. From beginning to end they were extremely professional and their communication was above par. I would recommend them for all your roofing needs.Read on Google
We signed or completed about twenty roofing jobs with a Lake Worth Beach address over the last twelve months.

Both, and the roof decides which. When the leak is at a local flashing, a split seam or a single wet area and the cores show dry insulation around it, we repair it.
When the cores come back wet across the field, patching is money spent twice. 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.
Yes. Our shop address is 226 S F St, Lake Worth Beach, a few blocks from the Lucerne Avenue downtown, and the Dixie Highway and Federal Highway commercial roofs we have done are a short drive from it.
That matters on a commercial job because a leak call or an inspection gets a person on the roof quickly, and because we already know the Building Division and the historic board. Every local commercial project starts with the free inspection and a written scope and price.
The roof permit goes to the City of Lake Worth Beach Building Division through its online permit application, with product approvals and roof assembly details attached, and inspections are booked for the next day. In Old Town or another local historic district, a roof change that shows from the street needs the certificate of appropriateness issued first or the permit will not be.
The city owns its electric utility, so a service mast we have to move is coordinated with Lake Worth Beach Electric, not FPL.
We plan the roof in sections that can be torn off and dried in before we leave for the day, agree staging and hours with each tenant before the first load lands, and keep an entrance clear at all times. Deliveries to a Lake Avenue restaurant or a Lake Worth Road plaza are scheduled around the crane and dumpster, and the tenant list gets the sequence in writing with a site contact to call.
Adhesive work is timed away from fresh-air intakes and busy hours so the shops below notice as little as possible.
The warranty splits in writing: the manufacturer's covers the membrane and insulation, our lifetime workmanship warranty covers the install, and we walk through the boundary before you sign. Price moves with roof area, penetrations and edges, whether the tear-off goes to the deck or the dry layers stay, how much wet insulation the cores find, the system chosen, drainage corrections and street access.
After the free inspection you get the figure with those items listed and a concealed-condition allowance.
