Lake Worth Beach · Shingle roof replacement
Roofing in Lake Worth Beach since 1975.
This is our own town. Molsbee Roofing has been based in Lake Worth Beach since 1975, which means the houses in College Park, Blackwell Park, North Lake Worth and Lakeside Palms are not a market to us, they are the streets we drive every day, and we have put roofs on a fair number of them across three generations.
That familiarity matters more here than it would elsewhere, because Lake Worth Beach housing is genuinely awkward. The stock is old and small: wood-framed bungalows and cottages on compact lots, many of them sheathed in planks rather than plywood, most on their third or fourth roof, and a good number with additions built at different times by different hands, so a single house can carry two or three roof generations meeting at details nobody drew.
A shingle re-roof on a house like that is rarely a simple tear-off. The deck usually needs overlay sheathing before anything can be nailed into it, because plank boards have gaps, splits and a century of old nail holes and will not hold a fastener to its rated pattern.
The additions need their junctions rebuilt rather than resealed. And parts of the town sit inside historic designations, where what is visible from the street can be reviewed before a permit is issued.
We check all of that at the inspection and put it in writing, so the price you get reflects the house rather than a square-foot rate. Underneath, what you are buying is the assembly: a solid re-nailed deck, self-adhered underlayment across the whole roof, drip edge, starter course, new flashings, working ventilation, then architectural shingle fastened to the code pattern for your address.
We are family-run since 1975, licensed CCC1327429, working Palm Beach County from Jupiter to Boca Raton. We work throughout 33460.

Good to know
What to know.
- Plank decks need sheathing first
A great many Lake Worth Beach houses were built with board sheathing rather than plywood. Shingle needs a continuous surface to nail into, and boards have gaps, splits and generations of old holes. The answer is new sheathing laid over the planks and properly fastened before any underlayment goes down. It is real work, it is not optional, and it belongs on the quote as its own line rather than turning up as a surprise once the old roof is off.
- Houses that grew a piece at a time
Additions here were often built years apart, so one roof runs into another at a junction that was improvised at the time and resealed since. Those junctions are where these houses leak, and a re-roof is the moment to build them properly in metal instead of sealing them again. We photograph every one of them at the inspection and price them individually, because they are labour and detail rather than area, and a rate per square foot never covers them.
- Historic designations and the street view
Parts of the town carry historic designation, and where that applies the material and colour visible from the street can be reviewed before a permit is issued. It is not an obstacle when it is handled in the right order and it is expensive when it is not. We check your specific address at the inspection and prepare whatever the review requires, so nothing is ordered against a specification that has not been agreed.
- Small roofs, honest pricing
A compact bungalow is a small roof and should be priced like one. What moves the number on these houses is not area, it is what is underneath and how many junctions there are: sheathing over planks, soft boards replaced, flashings rebuilt where additions meet. We itemise every one of those so you can see exactly where the money goes, which also makes it straightforward to compare our figure against anyone else's line by line.

Shingle is the lowest-priced full roof in Palm Beach County. Tile and metal cost more and last longer. Size, pitch, tear-off and the wood underneath move the number, and it goes in writing first.

My roof deck is wooden boards. What does that mean for the price?
It means an extra layer of work that has to be on the quote. Shingle needs a continuous surface to hold its fasteners at the rated pattern, and board sheathing with gaps, splits and old nail holes cannot provide it. New sheathing goes over the planks and is properly fastened before anything else. It adds cost and it is not negotiable, because shingle nailed into gaps will not hold its wind rating whatever the bundle says or the warranty promises.
My house has been added to twice. Is that a problem?
It is normal here and it changes where the attention goes. Each addition brought its own roof, and the junctions between them were often improvised and have been resealed since. Those junctions leak far more reliably than the middle of any slope. A re-roof is the right moment to rebuild them properly in metal rather than sealing them once more, and we photograph and price each one separately so you can see what you are actually paying for.
Does being based in town make any practical difference?
A little, and we will not oversell it. It means a roofer can get to a leak in Lake Worth Beach without a long drive, that we are still here next season when you want the roof looked at again, and that we have seen how the housing here is put together across a lot of houses. What it does not mean is a promise about arrival times, because weather and the queue decide that and no roofer can honestly say otherwise.
Is shingle the right choice on an old bungalow?
Usually yes, provided the deck is dealt with. Shingle is light on a wood-framed structure, it is the lowest-priced complete roof, and it suits the shapes these houses have. Tile is heavier and on some older framing that matters. The decision rests less on the covering than on what goes under it: proper sheathing over the planks, underlayment across the whole roof and rebuilt flashings at every junction. Get that right and shingle is a good roof here.
