Lifetime Workmanship WarrantyMolsbee Roofing repairs and replaces commercial roofs in Lake Worth Beach. Start with a free inspection, photographs of the findings and a written scope with the price before work begins.
Our shop is in Lake Worth Beach. For an Old Town commercial building, confirm historic requirements even when the roof sits behind a parapet.
Along Lake Avenue or Lucerne Avenue, entrances, deliveries and limited staging space can affect the work. Roof condition, concealed materials and the building's use all belong in the discussion before a system or schedule is agreed.
On a Dixie Highway storefront or a Lake Worth Road plaza, the choice of a commercial roof system depends on the deck, slope, existing layers, moisture condition and rooftop equipment. A surface inspection cannot establish the condition of all concealed insulation or decking.
Ask whether investigative openings are needed, what they would cost and how they would be closed. The proposal should identify the membrane, insulation, attachment method, drainage work and whether removal or an approved recover is proposed.
Old Town is a local historic district. Confirm the property's designation and proposed roof work with City preservation staff, including work behind parapets.
Historic review also applies to individually designated landmarks. On Lake Avenue and Lucerne Avenue, parapet caps, tile edges and exposed metal can be part of a building's historic appearance.
Visibility, existing features and the scope of the alteration can affect review. Staff review may be possible for like-for-like work, but approval is not automatic.
Obtain required historic approval before exterior work and permit issuance.
For an occupied commercial building, discuss customer entrances, deliveries, emergency access, equipment placement and debris removal before agreeing to the work. On Lake Avenue and Lucerne Avenue, limited staging space may affect the plan.
Confirm any use of an alley or public right-of-way rather than assuming it is available. Ask how construction phases and temporary weather protection will be handled, which areas may need to close and who will communicate changes to tenants.
The plan needs to suit the building's use and available access.
On Old Town roofs with parapets and scuppers, drainage problems can involve blocked outlets, insufficient slope, deck movement or flashing defects. Near Bryant Park and Lake Worth Lagoon, salt exposure also matters for roof-edge metal.
Ask the proposal to explain the cause of standing water and the proposed correction. Tapered insulation may be an option, but drainage changes need to suit the structure, roof assembly and applicable requirements.
The scope should distinguish retained components from proposed replacements at drains, roof edges and wall junctions.
For work in Lake Worth 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.
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. Lake Worth Beach Electric, the city's own utility, provides service in the city; check the property's electric provider before any service-mast work.
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. Historic review also applies to individually designated landmarks. A City staff report on 623 North Ocean Breeze recommended denial of standing seam over original metal shingle. Confirm acceptable materials and the review route with City preservation staff; matching materials do not guarantee approval. Wind design requirements are set for each address and building.
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

We signed or completed about twenty roofing jobs with a Lake Worth Beach address over the last twelve months.
All service areas ↗Molsbee repairs and replaces commercial roofs. A localized defect may be repairable; widespread deterioration may justify replacement.
The decision depends on the roof condition, concealed damage, existing assembly and applicable code requirements. 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.
Yes. Our shop address is 226 S F St, Lake Worth Beach.
Our signed or completed commercial roofing jobs include addresses on North Dixie Highway and North Federal Highway. Start with a free inspection, photographs of the findings and a written scope with the price before work begins.
Ask about access and scheduling for your building when booking; its roof condition, occupancy and approvals shape the proposed work.
Commercial roof permits within the city are handled by the Lake Worth Beach Building Division at 1900 2nd Avenue North. Confirm the required application documents, roof assembly approvals and inspection stages.
Applications are available online, with permit information and inspection scheduling through Click2Gov. Check historic requirements separately, including for roof work behind parapets.
Lake Worth Beach Electric, the city's own utility, provides service in the city; check the property's electric provider before any service-mast work. Electrical work also needs an appropriately licensed electrical contractor.
Whether tenants can remain open depends on the roof work and building use. Before work, agree the access restrictions, working hours, delivery arrangements and any protection needed for rooftop air intakes.
For a Lake Avenue restaurant or Lake Worth Road plaza, ask how equipment placement will affect entrances and deliveries. Ask who will communicate schedule changes and which activities may require a temporary closure.
Molsbee Roofing offers a lifetime workmanship warranty and manufacturers' product warranties. Ask to review the written warranties for the proposed work.
Price depends on roof area, penetrations, existing layers, concealed damage, materials, drainage and access. The written scope should explain how any concealed work would be priced and approved.
Founded by Don Molsbee in 1975, Molsbee Roofing holds Florida Certified Roofing Contractor license CCC1327429 and is Carlisle-certified for TPO. After a repair or re-roof, a roof certification letter for your insurer is available on request.
