Manalapan · Roof leak repair
Molsbee Roofing finds and repairs roof leaks in Manalapan, and a call to (561) 318-8624 is answered 24 hours a day. A roofer starts at the roof edges rather than the ceiling stain, traces the water to the flashing, valley, collar or cap that let it in, and gives you photographs and a written repair price before any work begins.
On a lot with the Atlantic on one side and the Intracoastal on the other, salt and wind-driven sand wear the drip edge and rake trim on every elevation, so the entry point is often well away from where the water shows. On that first call we also tell you how to protect the rooms below until the repair is made.
Family-owned for three generations since 1975, Molsbee Roofing works this coast from Lake Worth Beach as Florida Certified Roofing Contractor CCC1327429, and the inspection that finds your leak is free.

Fixing a leak in Manalapan
Why a Manalapan leak shows up rooms away from its cause
Water travels. It runs along a batten, down a rafter and through the ceiling somewhere that has little to do with where it got in, so chasing the stain is how a roof gets patched again and again and still leaks.
We photograph the whole perimeter first, then the valleys, collars, flashings and caps, and then open the covering at chosen points to read what lies beneath. You get the pictures, so the diagnosis is something you can see rather than something you take on trust.
After a blow off the Atlantic, every edge of a Manalapan roof
After serious weather it is tempting to fix the one place where something is visibly missing and stop. On this ground that is the expensive choice, because the run of edge metal beside the gap has usually been thinned by the same sand, and it is what the next storm takes.
So a storm call in Manalapan becomes a full perimeter check, from the beach elevations on South Ocean Boulevard to the Intracoastal side of Point Manalapan, and the quote separates what has already failed from what is about to.
Where tile, metal and low-slope roofs leak in Manalapan
Each covering on a Manalapan estate fails in its own place, from the South Ocean Boulevard houses to Lands End Road. On a tile roof the water usually gets past a valley, a wall flashing or underlayment that has aged beneath sound tile.
On metal it is the trim, a penetration or, on an exposed-fastener panel, a washer hardened by salt. On a flat section over a loggia or lanai it is almost always the tie-in to the main roof or a slow drain.
Knowing the covering tells us where to look first, and the photographs show you what we found.
What a Manalapan leak repair costs, and the quarter-roof line
Most repairs we signed across Palm Beach County last year cost between about $1,500 and $4,800, with the middle around $1,800. Single items sit toward the lower end of that range: a corroded pipe collar, a short run of drip edge, one cracked tile.
Valley rebuilds and new underlayment under part of the roof sit toward the upper end. We also tell you when repairs are getting close to the quarter-roof line.

Permits and code
Permits in Manalapan
For work in Manalapan, confirm requirements with the building department responsible for the property and complete any required historic or HOA review before ordering materials or beginning work.
Manalapan runs its own Building Department at 600 South Ocean Boulevard and takes permits through My Government Online. The town asks for a town business registration and a vehicle decal before anyone works there, and the working hours are Monday to Saturday, 8:00 am to 6:30 pm, with nothing on Sundays or holidays.
The town is a barrier island, ocean to Intracoastal, and every parcel is in the 170 mph band and the wind-borne debris region. The Palm Beach County flood maps were redrawn in December 2024. Our specification adds a self-adhered secondary water barrier.
Local conditionsBuilt for Manalapan
- Ocean to lake on one lot
- Manalapan's estates run from the Atlantic to the Intracoastal, so a single roof can take salt spray from the beach side and wind coming across the lagoon from the west.
- A town of 419 people
- There is no crowd here: about 419 residents along South Ocean Boulevard. Deliveries, dumpsters and the Saturday clock are planned around the neighbours, not around traffic.
- Roofs from the late 1970s
- The median Manalapan home dates to 1979. Across the Intracoastal from Hypoluxo and Boynton Beach, those roofs face the full 170 mph design speed, so the fastening schedule is written for it.

Roof leak repair questions in Manalapan
Why is my Manalapan roof still leaking after it was repaired?
Usually because the first repair treated the place where the water showed, not the place where it got in. Water runs along battens and rafters before it reaches a ceiling, and on a coastal roof the real entry is often a thinned edge, a tired flashing or a valley some distance away.
Sometimes the underlayment beneath a sound covering has simply worn out. We trace the path from the perimeter inward and show you photographs of the actual cause before anything is fixed a second time.
Can a handyman fix a roof leak in Manalapan?
Roof work in Manalapan comes with town rules, so it pays to use a licensed roofer. The town asks anyone working there to hold a town business registration and a vehicle decal, sets working hours from Monday to Saturday with nothing on Sundays or holidays, and issues roof permits through its own Building Department.
Molsbee Roofing is a Florida Certified Roofing Contractor, CCC1327429, and we handle the town paperwork as part of the repair.
How much should a roof leak repair cost in Manalapan?
It depends on what failed and how far the water travelled. A single corroded collar or a short run of drip edge is a small job, while a rebuilt valley or new underlayment under a section of tile is a larger one.
The county repair range on this page covers most of what we see. We price the repair in writing after the free inspection, and where the roof is close to needing replacement we show you both figures so you can choose.
Can you find a Manalapan leak without pulling the roof apart?
Nearly always. We read the perimeter first, then the valleys, collars, flashings and caps, and then open the covering at a few chosen points rather than at random.
Tile lifts and goes back, metal trim can be opened and closed again, and on a low-slope section we test the drains and scuppers. The result is a photographed diagnosis rather than a guess, and the written report names the repair, prices it and shows you where it sits on the roof.
What should I do while I wait for a roofer in Manalapan?
Keep the water off what matters. Move furniture, art and rugs away from the drip, put a container under it, and photograph the ceiling and anything wet.
If water is near a light fitting, leave that circuit off, and do not climb onto a wet roof. Then call (561) 318-8624, at any hour, tell us where the water shows and whether anything came off in the weather, and a roofer from our Lake Worth Beach shop will set a time to come and look.
