Roof leak repair in North Boca Raton
A leak in North Boca Raton usually announces itself in one of three houses. The first is a Boca Teeca single-story or a Hidden Valley or Pheasant Walk family home whose second roof is now as old as the first one was when it failed, with concrete tile over underlayment that has gone brittle at the laps after decades of attic heat.

Boca Raton north · Roof leak repair
Roofing in Boca Raton north since 1975.
A leak in North Boca Raton usually announces itself in one of three houses. The first is a Boca Teeca single-story or a Hidden Valley or Pheasant Walk family home whose second roof is now as old as the first one was when it failed, with concrete tile over underlayment that has gone brittle at the laps after decades of attic heat.
The second is a two-story at Bocaire Golf Club, Bel Marra or Trieste at Boca, where the roof is younger and larger but cut up with hips, valleys, skylights and a chimney, and the leak lives at one of those details rather than in the field of tile. The third sits on a canal at Boca Marina, Caribbean Keys or Boca Harbour east of Federal Highway, where the tile has decades left and the galvanized valley liner, drip edge and cap screws beneath it have rusted through on salt air alone.
In all three the same rule applies: the stain is not the leak. Water enters at a point, travels along the underlayment or the membrane of a flat section, and drops through the ceiling rooms away, so patching drywall or smearing sealant on the nearest tile fixes nothing.
Our roofer starts on the roof and, where there is a hatch, in the attic. He traces the stain uphill, lifts tile at the suspect laps, probes the seams on any flat section, photographs the entry point, and hands you the pictures with an itemized price for that one repair.
Molsbee Roofing has been a family business since 1975, based in Lake Worth Beach and working Palm Beach County, Jupiter to Boca Raton, and repair is the bulk of what we do in 33487. If the roof is sound you hear that.
If a repair will hold, we make it and stand behind it. If the felt cracks everywhere we lift tile, or the metal has gone along every valley on a canal-side roof, the photographs make that case without a sales pitch.
Free roof inspections. After a storm a secured tarp comes first and the permanent repair follows once the deck is dry.

Good to know
What to know.
- Second-cycle tile in Boca Teeca, Hidden Valley and Pheasant Walk
On these first-wave streets the leak is under the tile, not in it. We lift a course or two above the failure, cut the cracked felt back to sound material, lap in new self-adhered membrane, swap a split boot for lead or a sun-rated boot, and relay the tile so nothing shows. That repair holds for years while the surrounding underlayment is still supple. When the probe finds it brittle across the slope we say so on the spot, because a patch on a spent roof is a bridge to a re-roof, not a fix.
- Details on the big roofs at Bocaire, Bel Marra and Trieste at Boca
A two-story with a dozen hips and valleys leaks where two planes meet. Valley metal worn through under the tile, a skylight curb whose flashing was never stepped, a chimney cricket that collects water, a cap tile whose mortar let go. We open the detail, rebuild the flashing in the metal the roof deserves, re-bed the caps with foam or mortar to match, and relay the tile we saved. The committee never has to know, because the roof looks exactly as it did.
- Canal-side corrosion at Boca Marina, Caribbean Keys and Boca Harbour
East of Federal Highway a tile leak is almost always a metal leak. Rusted valley liner is cut out and replaced with stainless or heavy coated metal, drip edge renewed along the full eave, corroded hip and ridge fasteners pulled and the caps screwed back with stainless. The tile around the work is lifted, saved and relaid. A quick smear of sealant over rust returns in a couple of seasons on the Intracoastal, so we do not offer it.
- Flat sections and lanai tie-ins
The flat roofs over Boca Teeca garages and the lanai and addition roofs across North Boca leak at seams, at clogged scuppers, and at the flashing where they meet the pitched roof. We find the actual entry point, repair it with the membrane's own system so the patch bonds, clear the drainage, and say plainly whether the section has years left or is a re-cover waiting for a budget. Most repairs we have priced across Palm Beach County since spring have cost a small fraction of a replacement.

Roofing questions
Frequently asked questions.
Who does roof repair in North Boca Raton, FL?
Molsbee Roofing, and repair is most of our work. North of Yamato Road that means the second-cycle tile in Boca Teeca, Hidden Valley and Pheasant Walk, the cut-up roofs at Bocaire Golf Club, Bel Marra and Trieste at Boca, and the salt-side metal on the canal homes at Boca Marina and Caribbean Keys. Family business since 1975, licensed CCC1327429. The inspection is free and the repair is priced in writing first. Call 561-318-8624.
My ceiling is stained but the tile looks perfect. Where is the leak?
Under the tile or in the metal. Water gets in at a cracked lap in the underlayment, a split pipe boot, a rusted valley or a cap whose mortar has gone, then runs along the felt and drops far from where it entered. On the canal streets it is usually corroded metal; inland it is usually brittle felt. The roofer lifts tile at the suspect laps, photographs the entry point and shows you before repairing it.
Can you repair the flat roof over my Boca Teeca garage?
Yes. Those low-slope sections are among the most common leak sources in North Boca because water sits on them. The usual causes are a split seam, a clogged scupper and the flashing where the flat roof meets the tile above it. We repair with the membrane's own system so the patch bonds, clear the drainage, and tell you honestly whether the section has life left.
Do you repair storm damage in North Boca Raton after a blow?
Yes. The first visit secures a tarp or a temporary dry-in over the opening, fastened through wood strips so it holds in wind, and photographs the damage for your file. Once the deck has dried enough for membrane and mortar to bond, the permanent repair goes in: tile reset or replaced, caps re-bedded, seams re-welded. We tell you honestly when a roofer can reach you rather than promising a time we cannot keep. Open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at 561-318-8624.
Repair or replace: how do I know which my North Boca Raton roof needs?
One entry point is a repair: a boot, a valley, a run of drip edge, a few tiles, a seam on a flat section. Felt that cracks everywhere we lift tile, or metal that has rusted along every valley of a canal-side roof, is a replacement waiting to happen, and patching buys a season at a time. The free inspection settles it with photographs from the roof and the attic before anyone talks price.
