Lifetime Workmanship WarrantyMolsbee Roofing offers free roof inspections in Lake Worth Beach, with photographs of the findings and a written scope with the price if work is proposed. Our yard is on South F Street, and we inspect roofs on cottages and bungalows in Old Lucerne, South Palm Park and College Park.
The inspection considers accessible conditions; concealed decking, underlayment and insulation may need further investigation. Florida Certified Roofing Contractor CCC1327429.
Call 561-318-8624 to request an inspection; the phone is answered 24 hours a day.
An accessible attic may reveal staining, visible deck damage and signs of leakage. Pre-war frame cottages in Old Lucerne and South Palm Park often have plank decking, but attic access cannot reveal every layer above it.
On the exterior, the inspection considers accessible covering, flashing, edges, porch connections and roof junctions. On tile roofs in College Park and Old Town, sound-looking tile does not establish the condition beneath it.
Opening the roof is a separate investigative step; concealed underlayment cannot be fully assessed from the surface.
College Park, Northeast Lucerne, Old Lucerne, Old Town, Southeast Lucerne and South Palm Park are Lake Worth Beach's six local historic districts. Individually designated landmarks also need consideration.
Click2Gov provides City permit information, but a permit date alone does not establish the present roof's condition or compliance. Ask City preservation staff which historic approvals and review route apply.
Like-for-like work may qualify for staff review; matching materials do not guarantee approval. Required historic approval precedes exterior work and permit issuance.
Near Lake Worth Lagoon, from Bryant Park to Parrot Cove and toward the Casino, accessible metal components need attention for corrosion alongside the covering, flashing and drainage. Roofs on the lettered grid, the Palmways and in College Park also need wind and water-entry details assessed.
Wind design requirements are set for each address and building. On flat roofs along Dixie Highway, Federal Highway and Lake Avenue, seams, standing water, parapet flashing and scuppers deserve attention.
Safe access determines how much can be examined.
Consider an inspection after suspected storm damage, before purchasing a property or when comparing repair and replacement options. If work is proposed, the written scope and price should distinguish known conditions from concealed areas that may need further investigation.
Ask what additional investigation would involve before authorizing it. If service equipment affects the work, confirm the electrical scope separately.
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.
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.

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.
I recently was in the market for a new roof. After many interviews with various roof companies. I revisited my first choice - Molsbee Roofing mainly due to Merrick. Merrick took time to explain thoroughly the process and stood by everything he promised. Nicole's customer service was also exceptional!Read on Google

Ask about the inspection's access limits and any further investigation before authorizing additional work. A cottage porch roof, a tile roof or an Old Town flat roof may present different access conditions; the visible findings need to be read with those limits in mind.
Where access is available, an attic inspection may show staining, visible deck damage and signs of leakage. On a pre-war frame cottage, it may reveal part of a plank deck or earlier alterations.
It does not reveal every roof layer, connection or concealed defect. Findings from inside and outside need to be considered together, with inaccessible areas identified.
A sound appearance from below does not establish the condition of the underlayment above.
A roof-specific inspection can help you understand visible roof conditions before buying. Ask how it differs from the general home inspection and what remains concealed or inaccessible.
For a historic property, confirm acceptable replacement materials with City preservation staff before relying on a future re-roof assumption. A City staff report on 623 North Ocean Breeze recommended denial of standing seam over original metal shingle; it does not determine the outcome for another house.
Roof profile and historic status deserve attention alongside condition.
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.
An inspection may find no visible need for work, but photographs do not rule out concealed defects. Keep the findings as a record of accessible conditions at the time.
