Lifetime Workmanship WarrantyMolsbee Roofing replaces shingle roofs in Lake Worth Beach from our yard on South F Street. A free inspection provides photographs of the findings and a written scope with the price before work starts.
Pre-war frame cottages often have plank decking, but damage and previous roof layers may remain concealed. Historic approval can affect the proposed material and appearance.
Founded by Don Molsbee in 1975, we hold Florida Certified Roofing Contractor license CCC1327429. Call 561-318-8624 to request an inspection; the phone is answered 24 hours a day.
On a pre-war cottage in Old Lucerne or South Palm Park, plank decking and earlier alterations can affect a shingle replacement. The full deck condition may not be visible until the old covering is removed.
Ask the quote to explain which deck work is included and how additional repairs would be documented, priced and approved. Age alone does not decide whether replacement is needed; covering, flashing, deck condition and the cause of leaks all matter.
Confirm required inspection stages before the deck is covered.
Ask the proposal to identify the shingle, starter and ridge products, underlayment, flashing and attachment details. Ask whether each quote includes a self-adhered secondary water barrier; the proposed method must suit the selected assembly and deck.
Lagoon salt exposure matters when selecting edge metal and flashing. Wind design requirements are set for each address and building, including homes near Bryant Park, Parrot Cove and the Casino.
A neighborhood label alone does not establish the fastening schedule.
College Park, Old Lucerne, Northeast Lucerne, Southeast Lucerne, South Palm Park and Old Town are local historic districts. Historic review also applies to individually designated landmarks.
Confirm the proposed shingle profile and color with City preservation staff. Like-for-like work may qualify for staff review, but replacing shingles with shingles does not guarantee approval.
Required historic approval precedes exterior work and permit issuance. The Building Division on 2nd Avenue North handles roof permits, with permit information and inspection scheduling through Click2Gov.
Cottage porches and additions create roof junctions that need their own flashing and underlayment details. Ask how the proposed assembly will connect older and newer sections, and discuss property protection and debris removal.
Our signed or completed roofing jobs include South A, South B and South L Street, North N Street, Dartmouth Drive and Duke Drive. Molsbee Roofing offers a lifetime workmanship warranty and manufacturers' product warranties.
Ask to review the written warranties for the proposed 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. 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.
I had a roof leak that needed attention, and Molsbee Roofing was honestly a breath of fresh air. They came out quickly, found the issue right away, and didn't try to sell me on a full roof replacement or push any unnecessary work — just straightforward, honest service.Read on Google
Had Molsbee roofing do a patch on my roof. It was a very reasonable price, and they didn't try to oversell me. I'll absolutely use them when I'm ready to replace my roof.Read on Google

A range combining different roof materials is not a shingle-only estimate. Compare roof area, tear-off, underlayment, flashing, access and deck-repair provisions.
On a cottage with porch additions, the roof junctions deserve their own detail in the proposal. Request a free inspection for photographs and a written scope with the price, including the assumptions about concealed conditions and how additional work would be handled.
Deck work can affect the price, and its full extent may remain concealed until tear-off. Ask which fastening work is included and how damaged boards would be documented, priced and approved.
Do not assume all deck work is included unless the written scope says so. An accessible attic can reveal part of a cottage's deck, but it cannot show every concealed surface or earlier layer above it.
My Safe Florida Home offers inspections and grants for eligible hurricane-mitigation improvements. A roof replacement is not automatically eligible.
Check the current program requirements and your program inspection's recommended improvements, and obtain grant approval before beginning work. Molsbee's free roof inspection is separate from the program's inspection process.
The quarter-roof rule considers how much of a roof system or section is repaired, replaced or recovered in any 12-month period. Above a quarter, the roof covering across that entire system or section generally must be replaced or recovered 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. We check which applies before we price.
