Lifetime Workmanship WarrantyMolsbee Roofing replaces tile roofs in Lake Worth Beach and offers detach-and-reset of sound clay barrel tile where suitable. College Park, north of downtown, and Old Town along Lake and Lucerne Avenues have different settings and historic considerations, so assess the individual property before choosing a tile or profile.
Our yard is on South F Street. Start with a free inspection, photographs of the findings and a written scope with the price before work starts.
Concealed decking and underlayment may require further investigation. Florida Certified Roofing Contractor CCC1327429.

Lake Worth Beach has six local historic districts: College Park, Old Lucerne, Northeast Lucerne, Southeast Lucerne, South Palm Park and Old Town. Historic review also applies to individually designated landmarks.
Confirm the proposed tile and profile with City preservation staff. Like-for-like work may qualify for staff review, but matching tile does not guarantee approval.
Required historic approval must be obtained before exterior work and permit issuance. A City staff report on 623 North Ocean Breeze recommended denial of standing seam over original metal shingle.
The City's district histories describe much of the historic core as dating from the 1910s to the 1940s. Pre-war frame cottages often have plank decking, but the deck and earlier alterations need assessment on the individual property.
Removing the covering may reveal damage that was not visible during inspection. Ask the quote to explain deck repairs, fastening work and how any additional scope would be documented, priced and approved.
The required inspection stages should be confirmed before the deck is covered.
Compare the selected clay or concrete tile's profile, weight, attachment requirements and compatibility with the building, including Mediterranean houses in College Park and Old Town. Architectural style does not establish structural capacity; a change to a heavier covering may require structural evaluation.
Historic approval can also limit the options. The underlayment, flashing and attachment system must suit the selected tile assembly.
For suitable clay barrel tile, detach-and-reset can retain the existing tile while replacing the underlayment.

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.

All service areas ↗Tile-roof cost depends on the selected product, roof geometry, access, deck condition and whether sound clay barrel tile can be detached and reset. Historic requirements can also affect the proposed material and profile.
Request a free inspection for photographs and a written scope with the price. Ask whether each quote includes a self-adhered secondary water barrier.
Wind design requirements are set for each address and building. Lagoon salt exposure from Bryant Park to Parrot Cove matters when selecting metal components.
Yes. Where the clay barrel tile is suitable for reuse, detach-and-reset means lifting the tile, replacing the underlayment and resetting the same tile.
Tile condition, handling losses, replacement-piece availability and any historic requirements affect whether this is appropriate. Ask the written scope to identify the proposed underlayment and how damaged or missing pieces would be handled.
Before work, discuss tile handling, storage, property protection and how broken or unsuitable pieces would be addressed. For detach-and-reset, confirm which existing clay barrel tile can be retained and what the written scope includes.
The schedule depends on historic review, permit approval, tile availability, roof size, concealed damage and weather. Before tear-off, discuss material delivery and temporary weather protection.
Confirm roof-permit requirements with the Building Division on 2nd Avenue North and required inspection dates through Click2Gov. 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.
Confirm any electrical coordination before setting construction dates. A neighborhood name, including Mango Groves or Eden Place, does not establish an exemption.

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.
