Lifetime Workmanship WarrantyStorm damage roof repair in Lantana begins the moment you call: we ask where water is coming in, cover the opening once it is safe to climb, and then find every point where wind or debris broke through. The inspection is free, and the photographs and the written price document the damage and the scope of the permanent repair before it starts.
On Hypoluxo Island and along the lagoon we begin at the exposed edges and metal; on mainland streets in Lantana Pines and Sea Pines we begin where limbs and debris struck. Tell us which rooms are wet when you call (561) 318-8624, answered 24 hours a day.
The island side of Lake Worth Lagoon sits in a higher wind band than mainland Lantana, and storm wind lifts a roof at its edges, corners and ridges before the open field. On Hypoluxo Island and Point Manalapan we start with the drip edge, the first courses of tile or shingle and the ridge caps, then check the flashings that salt had already weakened.
A roof can look untouched from the dock while its perimeter has lifted.
Tile breaks where debris lands, and the underlayment under a broken piece is often torn too. Shingle tabs fold back in a gust and drop flat again, leaving a broken seal you only find by hand.
Metal panels bend at seams and trim. On the low-slope condo roofs along Yacht Club Way, membranes peel at the edges or take punctures from flying debris.
We check the covering your roof actually has and photograph each finding before anything is touched.
The first visit is about keeping water out of the house. Where access and the deck are safe, we fit temporary protection over the opening and note which rooms are affected.
The permanent repair is then scoped separately, with photographs of each damaged area and a written price that keeps the temporary cover and the lasting work on separate lines. Wet decking and underlayment are assessed before anything is closed over.
A repair only lasts if it joins sound roofing. On an older Lantana house the covering may be a second or third roof, with earlier patches around the damaged area, so we look past the visible break to where good material starts.
We ask for any repair and re-roof records, inspect the adjoining work and show you in photographs where the repair can stop. If the damage runs into worn material, we explain the wider scope rather than hide it under new trim.
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.
Molsbee Roofing was amazing. I called needing a roof leak repaired. They were able to get a crew out the next day. Very professional. Everyone had Molsbee shirts on, Molsbee trucks. They took before pictures, pictures of the wood, pictures of every step of the repair. I will be doing my new roof with Molsbee Roofing.Read on Google
Molsbee Roofing has made getting a new roof an exceptional experience. They have been very responsive throughout the process. I am impressed that the final completion of a tile roof was completed in under 30 days from signing and provided at a competitive price.Read on Google
We signed or completed a handful of roofing jobs with a Lantana address over the last twelve months.

Keep off the roof and away from any sagging ceiling. Move furniture and valuables from under the drip, set out buckets, and take photos of the ceiling, the water and anything that fell in the yard.
Then call (561) 318-8624, which is answered 24 hours a day, and tell us which rooms are wet and whether the house is occupied. We cover the opening once it is safe to climb and photograph the damage from the roof.
The price follows the damage: how much of the roof is open, the material, and whether water reached the deck. Resetting a few lifted shingles or replacing broken tiles costs far less than rebuilding a torn valley or wet sheathing.
The inspection is free. The written price separates the temporary cover from the permanent repair, and the photographs show why each line is there, so the damage and the scope are documented in one place.
It can. 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. A storm that damaged several slopes can tip a roof over that line, so we measure the damaged area, check the roof's permit history and put the answer in writing.
No. The 33462 ZIP also covers Hypoluxo, Manalapan and Atlantis, and each keeps its own permit desk, so we confirm the parcel's town before filing.
A Lantana address goes to the Building Division on Greynolds Circle as a paper file; Hypoluxo routes permits through a contracted service; Manalapan uses its own portal and requires contractor registration. The temporary cover goes on first, and the permit covers the lasting repair.
The temporary cover should not wait; the permanent repair can be planned. Water that keeps getting in soaks the underlayment and deck and turns a contained repair into a larger one, so we cover the opening as soon as it is safe to climb.
The lasting repair is then scheduled around the permit, the material delivery and a run of dry weather. If the roof is near the end of its life anyway, the report tells you whether a re-roof makes more sense than a repair.
