Lantana · Commercial roofing
Molsbee Roofing handles commercial roof repair and replacement in Lantana, from shops on Lantana Road and Dixie Highway to condo buildings near Lake Worth Lagoon. Every job begins with a free inspection covering the roof, its drains and the entrances that must stay open, then a written scope and price for a repair or a replacement before any work is approved.
We confirm the parcel is inside the Town of Lantana, check the salt-exposed edge metal and plan deliveries and tear-off around the business below. Founded by Don Molsbee and still family-run, we work from a few minutes north in Lake Worth Beach, and we are Carlisle-certified to install TPO.

Commercial roofs in Lantana
Lantana's paper permit desk and the towns next door
The Town of Lantana has no online permit portal: its Building Division on Greynolds Circle takes paper copies with a digital copy, in person or by email, paid by cash or check. Hypoluxo, Manalapan and Atlantis share the 33462 ZIP but run separate desks, so an owner with buildings on both sides of a town line needs a separate file for each.
We verify the parcel, assemble the product approvals and request every inspection the day before it is due.
Lagoon salt at the roof edge and the rooftop units
On a building near Lake Worth Lagoon, the membrane in the middle of the roof can look fine while the edge metal, termination bar, wall flashing and the fasteners on rooftop unit curbs are rusting. We photograph those details apart from the field of the roof, so the proposal shows which one is letting water in.
A repair replaces the metal in a grade suited to salt air; sealant spread over rust only postpones the next leak.
Keeping a Lantana Road or Dixie Highway business open
Before tear-off we ask where customers and staff enter, when deliveries arrive and where parking is shared with the next unit. The plan sets where materials land, the route debris takes off the roof and which section is opened each day, so we only take up what can be sealed before work stops.
Cleanup and the return of staging space are written into the scope, and the owner knows who tells tenants when the schedule changes.
Repair, recover or replace, with a written roof record
One failed seam or a split at an equipment curb is usually a repair when the membrane around it is sound. Wet insulation spread across the roof points to replacement, and we take a core sample where the surface cannot show the answer.
A replacement is typically TPO, hot-air welded at the seams, over tapered insulation that moves water to the drains. The proposal names the system and the edge of any repair, with the manufacturers' product warranties in writing.

Permits and code
Permits in Lantana
For work in Lantana, confirm requirements with the building department responsible for the property and complete any required historic or HOA review before ordering materials or beginning work.
Lantana has no online permit portal. The town's Building Division at 504 Greynolds Circle takes two paper copies plus one digital copy, delivered in person or emailed, and it accepts cash or check only, with no online payment. Inspections run 9 to 3 and are requested before 3 pm for the next day. That changes how we sequence a job: the file is walked in, not uploaded.
Lantana's mainland is in the 160 mph band; the island side of Lake Worth Lagoon is 170 mph, and the whole town is in the wind-borne debris region. The town administers its own flood zone building requirements, and a fifth of Lantana is water, so lagoon-side lots get the flood check early.
Local conditionsBuilt for Lantana
- A lagoon town with three neighbours
- Lantana, Hypoluxo, Manalapan and Atlantis share the 33462 ZIP code, and the paperwork, payment method and working hours change at the town line. We confirm which desk before we quote.
- Houses from 1975
- The median Lantana house dates to 1975, the same year Molsbee started. Roofs of that generation carry earlier repairs and decking that is checked and re-nailed before any new covering goes on.
- Water on three sides
- From the streets near Hypoluxo Park to the condos on Yacht Club Way just across the town line, salt from Lake Worth Lagoon reaches fasteners and edge metal first.

Commercial roofing questions in Lantana
Who issues the permit for a commercial roof in Lantana?
The Town of Lantana's Building Division on Greynolds Circle, for any building inside town limits, and it files on paper with payment by cash or check rather than through a portal. A 33462 address can belong to Hypoluxo, Manalapan or Atlantis instead, so we check the parcel before anything is prepared.
We then assemble the application and product approvals, walk the file in and request each inspection the afternoon before it is needed.
What does a commercial roof replacement cost in Lantana?
The price comes from your building after a free inspection, not from a rate per square foot. On the roof it turns on the area, how many old layers come off, any wet insulation or soft deck, and the drains, curbs and edge metal, which near the lagoon is specified for salt.
Off the roof it turns on access, lifting and how many phases the business needs to stay open. Each item is listed in the written proposal, with photographs of the findings and an approval step for anything hidden until the old roof is open.
When your insurer asks for a roof certification letter after the work, we provide one.
Should a leaking roof on a Lantana shop be repaired or replaced?
Repair it when a single detail lets the water in and the membrane beside it is still sound; replace it when the membrane is failing across the roof. A split wall flashing or a failed curb seal is a repair; wet insulation in many places points to replacement.
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.
Can my Lantana business stay open while the roof is replaced?
Usually, yes, when the work is phased around the entrances. We ask about opening hours, deliveries and shared parking along Lantana Road or Dixie Highway, then divide the roof into sections so the part over an open counter is never left uncovered.
Materials are staged away from doors, and debris leaves on a route agreed with the manager. The proposal shows which section is worked in what order, and we tell you before any change to the schedule.
Will a coating fix a leaking flat roof on a Lantana building?
Only when the roof under it is sound and dry. A coating can extend a membrane that is worn at the surface, but over wet insulation, split seams or rusted edge metal it seals the problem in.
We check adhesion, drainage and the layers below first, with a core sample where needed. Near Lake Worth Lagoon the edges and terminations usually need work before any coating, so the proposal says plainly whether restoration, repair or replacement is the right call.
