Had Molsbee roofing do a patch on my roof. It was a very reasonable price, and they didn't try to oversell me. I'll absolutely use them when I'm ready to replace my roof.Read on Google

North Palm Beach · Flat roof repair and replacement
Molsbee Roofing repairs and replaces flat and low-slope roofs in North Palm Beach, most of them the Florida rooms, carports and rear additions on the village's older houses, and the first step is a free inspection that ends in a written price. Those sections leak for two reasons, water that sits because the roof has too little fall and a failed junction where the flat roof meets the house, so we check both, cut a test square where the layers look wet, and tell you whether a repair, a coating or a new membrane is the right answer.
A flat section is priced on its own lines, apart from the sloped roof beside it, whether the house is in Juno Isles, Old Port Village or off Lighthouse Drive. We are a family business, roofing this county from Lake Worth Beach since 1975 and licensed as Florida Certified Roofing Contractor CCC1327429 and Carlisle-certified for TPO; call (561) 318-8624, answered 24 hours a day.

Before the work starts
Before flat roof work in North Palm Beach
The junction where a Florida room meets the house
A flat addition fails first where it joins the main house, at the point the membrane turns up a wall or tucks under the sloped roof. That junction is doing work that gravity does everywhere else, and on an older village house it has usually been patched before.
When we open one, the water trail almost always leads back there rather than to the middle of the roof, so the repair starts by taking the junction apart and rebuilding it with new flashing.
Building fall into a dead-level carport roof
Plenty of the village's carports and back additions were built nearly dead level, and a membrane can only work with the slope it is given. Water that stands for days after rain will find a seam, and in this climate it stands for much of the year.
Where there is no fall, we build one with tapered insulation or a cricket that steers water to the outlet, because a new membrane laid flat over a ponding roof only postpones the same leak.
Test squares on an older village flat roof
A flat section on an older house has often been wet at some point, and sometimes still is. Before recommending a coating or a new membrane, we cut a small test square, look at each layer and check the deck beneath.
Sealing over trapped moisture keeps the rot going under a roof that looks fine from the yard. The square is patched on the same visit, and photographs of each layer go in your report.
Its own lines on the price, its own form at the Village
A flat section is a different system from the sloped roof beside it, with its own material, fastening and labour. On a Florida room we usually specify modified bitumen, which details well at tight walls; on a larger carport or addition, TPO welded at the seams, which we are Carlisle-certified to install.
It gets separate lines on the written price, with our lifetime workmanship warranty and the manufacturers' product warranties. The Village file carries the county's flat roofing form and the membrane's product approvals.

Permits and code
Permits in North Palm Beach
For work in North Palm Beach, confirm requirements with the building department responsible for the property and complete any required historic or HOA review before ordering materials or beginning work.
The Village of North Palm Beach runs its own Building Division at 701 US Highway 1 and takes permits through My Government Online, with photo, virtual or in-person inspections. The roofing submittal is specific: the application, the signed contract, two copies of the county 100/200/300/400 roofing forms and two copies of each product approval. A missing copy is the usual reason a file stalls.
The village sits on Lake Worth Lagoon, and all of it is in the 170 mph wind band and the wind-borne debris region. Under the flood maps adopted in December 2024 about 1,400 village properties are proposed for AE zones.
Local conditionsBuilt for North Palm Beach
- A village on the lagoon
- Two of the village's five square miles are water. Yacht Club Drive, Paradise Harbour Boulevard and Marine Way sit right on Lake Worth Lagoon, so salt and wind-driven rain reach edges and flashing first.
- Housing from the early 1970s
- A 1972 median build year is earlier than any other town in the northern group. Roofs of that age often carry old repairs, older decking and underlayment that predates today's secondary water barrier.
- The island and its bridges
- The village-owned Country Club sits on an island reached by three bridges. Moving tile, dumpsters and deliveries across a bridge is planned before the permit, not on the morning of tear-off.

Flat roof repair and replacement questions in North Palm Beach
How long does a flat roof last on a North Palm Beach house?
It depends on its fall, its junction with the house and what is under the membrane. A flat roof that drains well and has a sound tie-in lasts far longer than one that holds water against its seams.
Signs yours is near its end: blisters or splits in the surface, water standing days after rain, soft spots underfoot and stains on the ceiling below. We check each at the free inspection and photograph what we find.
Should I repair or replace the flat roof on my North Palm Beach Florida room?
Repair when the defect is local and the layers around it are dry: a failed junction, a split seam or a damaged outlet can be put right on its own. Replace when test squares show wet insulation across the section, when there is no fall to work with, or when earlier coatings and patches have stacked up.
We show you the photographs from the test square, so the choice rests on what is inside the roof rather than its surface. When your insurer asks for a roof certification letter after the work, we provide one.
Can the flat roof on a North Palm Beach carport just be coated?
Sometimes, and where a coating is genuinely right it costs less and we will say so. It is the wrong answer where water ponds, where the tie-in to the house has failed, or where there is moisture in the layers, because a coating seals that moisture in.
A test square settles which of those you have, and you see the photographs before you spend anything on the carport or the Florida room.
What can be done about standing water on a North Palm Beach flat roof?
First make sure the outlet or scupper is clear, because leaves and grit are the simple cause. If water still stands for days, the roof needs fall: tapered insulation under a new membrane, or a cricket that steers water to the outlet.
On a Juno Isles or Old Port Village addition that is often the change that finally ends the leaks, and the written price shows it as a separate line.
Does a flat roof replacement in North Palm Beach need a Village permit?
Yes. A replacement goes to the Village Building Division through My Government Online, with the county's flat roofing form and two copies of each product approval, and the Village offers photo, virtual or in-person inspections and sets which apply.
A minor repair is treated differently. Florida's quarter-roof rule can also limit how far a repair may go; the inspection determines whether it applies, and we tell you before quoting.
