Lifetime Workmanship WarrantyMolsbee Roofing inspects roofs in Lantana, Hypoluxo and Manalapan for free: a roofer walks the roof, checks the attic where there is access, and you get photographs and a written verdict of repair, replace or leave it alone. On Hypoluxo Island and Point Manalapan the metal under the covering gets a careful look, because lagoon salt reaches it first.
We also pull the permit record from the right town, since a 1975 house in Old Town or Lantana Pines may be on its second or third roof. We hold license CCC1327429, work from Lake Worth Beach and answer (561) 318-8624 24 hours a day.
From the street, a tile or shingle roof on Hypoluxo Island can look sound while the valley metal, drip edge and wall flashings beneath it are rusting. We lift tile at suspect spots, photograph the underlayment and metal in place, and label each picture with where it was taken.
Flat sections over porches and Florida rooms get their own check of seams, drains and the joint with the main roof.
Mainland houses here often carry decades of patches, additions and porch roofs joined to the original. We check edges, valleys, pipe boots and vents, then each earlier repair and the point where it meets the surrounding roof.
Where the attic is reachable we look at the deck for staining and at the roof-to-wall connections. If one problem runs across several areas, the report explains why a wider repair is needed.
Lantana, Hypoluxo, Manalapan and Atlantis share the 33462 ZIP but keep separate permit records, so we start with the property address. The last re-roof permit tells us how old the covering really is and helps show how the quarter-roof rule would treat a larger repair; the inspection decides it.
That date goes in your report. Bring any earlier roof paperwork and we check it against what we find on top.
Book a visit after a storm, before you sign on a house, or when a stain appears on a ceiling. You get labelled photographs and a plain verdict: repair, replace, or nothing needed yet.
If work is needed, its price comes on its own sheet, in writing, before anything is booked. If the roof needs nothing, the visit is still free and the report says so plainly.
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.
We hired Molsbee Roofing for a residential roof project and were very impressed with the results. From the first inspection to the final cleanup, the team was prompt, professional, and transparent. They provided a clear estimate and delivered quality workmanship.Read on Google

We signed or completed a handful of roofing jobs with a Lantana address over the last twelve months.
Free visit, free photographs, free written verdict; if a repair or a re-roof is needed, it is priced on its own sheet before anything is booked.

Nothing. Many roof inspections are sold as a paid service, but ours is free in Lantana, Hypoluxo and Manalapan, including the photographs and the written report.
We can offer it because we are the licensed roofer who would carry out any repair, and that price comes separately, in writing, before anything is booked. The report is yours to keep whether you hire us or not, and a roof that needs nothing gets a report that says exactly that.
It can. 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.
We check your roof's permit record, measure the damage and state in the report which side you are on.
Yes, and early in your inspection period. A general home inspector looks at the whole house; we look only at the roof, lift suspect tile or shingle, check the deck from the attic, and on waterfront lots in Manalapan and on Hypoluxo Island look hard at the metal.
You also get the last re-roof date from the town's permit record and, if work is needed, a written price you can take into the negotiation before closing.
Yes. Our repair records already include the condo buildings on Yacht Club Way, just across the Lantana line in Hypoluxo.
On those low-slope roofs we inspect membrane seams, drains and wall tie-ins, and photograph every finding building by building. Tell us how to reach the roof and what the board needs from the report, and we write it so the board can see what to fix now and what can wait.
It comes down to the damaged area and the roof around it. A rusted valley or a cracked pipe boot is a repair when the covering and underlayment beside it are sound.
When the covering is brittle across whole slopes, the underlayment has failed in several places, or the repairs are large enough to bring Florida's quarter-roof rule into play, which the inspection checks, replacement is the sound choice. The photographs show you the reasoning, and our page on when to replace your roof in Palm Beach County covers the choice in more depth.
