I can't say enough about Molsbee Roofing! I interviewed 9 companies. I did not go with them because they were the most expensive or the cheapest, BUT because Merrick and the team provided honest, professional, and reliable service. I look forward to working with your friends and clients in the future!Read on Google

We repair roof leaks across Loxahatchee, The Acreage and Loxahatchee Groves: a Molsbee roofer drives out, finds where the water gets in on the house or the outbuilding, photographs it and prices the repair in writing before any work starts, and the inspection is free. Near the path of the October 2024 tornado we also check the trusses and deck around the leak, and your road tells us which permit desk a repair would go to.
Repairs on Tangelo Boulevard and 73rd Street North were part of our Acreage work in the last year. Molsbee Roofing, family-owned since 1975 and licensed as CCC1327429, answers (561) 318-8624 24 hours a day.

Fixing a leak in Loxahatchee
After the Milton tornado, an Acreage leak can start at the trusses
Hurricane Milton's EF3 tornado tracked through The Acreage on 9 October 2024 and tore up roofs along its path. On a house near that track, a leak can come from a deck panel or truss connection that moved, not only from the covering.
Before we price a repair, we check the attic around the wet area for shifted straps, split framing and loose decking, so the fix deals with what holds the roof down as well as the surface water runs over.
House, garage or workshop: which roof on the lot is leaking
An acre lot can carry more than one roof, and each can have its own covering, pitch and age. We identify which building the water is coming through, inspect that roof on its own and write it up as its own line, so work on the house is never muddled with a detached garage or workshop.
If you would like the other roofs on the property looked at during the same visit, tell us when you book and we will photograph those too.
Ladders, parking and debris around a well and septic lot
Almost every home out here runs on well and septic, so where we set ladders, park the truck and drop debris is planned around the well head and the drain field rather than a suburban driveway. Tell us about gates and ground that turns soft after summer rain when you book.
The roofer confirms the route with you on arrival, and the written scope notes any area of the property we have to keep clear while we work. We are a GAF Certified Contractor and an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor.
The 160 and 150 mph wind bands meet out here
The western county sits where the 160 and 150 mph design wind bands meet, and which side of the line your parcel falls on sets the fastening a repair has to match. We read it on the county map before writing the scope.
Where a repair reaches the deck along Seminole Pratt Whitney Road or out toward Loxahatchee Groves, the new fastening follows that band and the code, not whatever the last patch happened to use.
How it works in Loxahatchee

Permits in Loxahatchee and The Acreage
For work in Loxahatchee, confirm requirements with the building department responsible for the property and complete any required historic or HOA review before ordering materials or beginning work.
Loxahatchee is one mailing address with three permit desks; the road decides which applies. The Acreage is unincorporated, so its permits go to Palm Beach County through the ePZB portal, where a single-family re-roof is self-issued once the product-approval questions pass. Indian Trail Improvement District handles roads and canals only.
Loxahatchee Groves has its own building department on F Road and takes applications only through its MGO portal, re-roof affidavit and photos as one PDF, inspections booked by 3 pm the day before. Westlake runs a City View portal and wants approved plans on site at inspection.
The 160 and 150 mph design wind bands meet out here, so we read each parcel on the county map. All of unincorporated Palm Beach County is in the wind-borne debris region, and on our re-roofs a self-adhered secondary water barrier goes over the deck.
- Acre lots on well and septic
- The original Royal Palm Beach Colony lots run from one acre to twenty, almost all on well and septic. Staging and haul-off are planned around the well head and drain field, not a suburban driveway.
- The October 2024 tornado
- Hurricane Milton's EF3 tornado tracked 32.9 miles through The Acreage on 9 October 2024 and tore up roofs. On a house in that path we check truss and deck attachment, not only the covering.
- Houses from around 2000
- The typical home in 33470 and 33412 dates to 2000 or 2001, and its roof may have been replaced since; the permit history tells us.
What homeowners say
My experience dealing with the Molsbee team was truly amazing. My roof was in need of some small maintenance (replacing broken tiles mostly) but everyone treated me as if my project was their most important one! Top-notch service.Read on Google

Roof leak repair questions in Loxahatchee
What does it cost to fix a roof leak on an Acreage house?
The written price follows the damage, and you have it before anything is touched. A loose fastener, a split pipe boot or a failed wall flashing on sound decking is a contained repair: the flashing is replaced rather than sealed over, and new underlayment is lapped under the old around it.
Wet deck, a truss connection that shifted in the tornado or a rusted run of edge metal costs more. The drive out and the inspection are free, and the scope lists each item.
Repairs carry our lifetime workmanship warranty, and we provide a roof certification letter for your insurer on request.
Should a leaking Acreage roof be repaired or replaced?
Often repaired, if the rest of the roof is sound, but check the quarter-roof rule first. 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. We measure what the repair would open against the roof section and give you both options in writing if the line is close.
Who issues a roof repair permit in The Acreage, the county or ITID?
Palm Beach County, when a repair needs a permit and the parcel is unincorporated Acreage. Applications go through the county's ePZB portal.
Indian Trail Improvement District looks after roads and canals and does not issue building permits. Loxahatchee Groves takes applications only through its own MGO portal, and Westlake uses its City View portal, so we confirm the parcel first.
Your written price says whether a permit applies before you agree.
Can a leak on my Loxahatchee roof wait until hurricane season is over?
It should not, because the damage spreads where you cannot see it. Afternoon thunderstorms keep wetting the same patch of deck, the fasteners lose their grip, and that spot is the first to lift when the next strong wind comes through.
Inside, wet insulation and ceiling board hold water against the framing. A leak that is one flashing in June can be a section of deck by November, and the bigger repair area brings the quarter-roof line closer.
What should I tell you when I book a leak inspection in Loxahatchee?
Your road, which building is leaking, and how we get in. The road tells us whether the parcel is in The Acreage, Loxahatchee Groves or Westlake; the building tells us which roof to bring the ladder to; and a gate code or a note about soft ground saves time on arrival.
Then describe when the water shows and what the weather was doing. The line, (561) 318-8624, is answered 24 hours a day, and the free inspection is booked on that call.
