Lifetime Workmanship WarrantyMolsbee Roofing replaces shingle and tile roofs with standing seam metal in North Palm Beach, starting with a free inspection of the deck and framing and ending with a written price. Metal suits the village for two reasons: it is light enough for a founding-era house framed for shingle, and its clips sit hidden under the seams instead of screws driven through the panel into old boards, which matters on streets like Yacht Club Drive where salt off Lake Worth Lagoon reaches the fastenings first.
We name the panel, its gauge and finish, and the trim metal on the quote, so you know what goes on before the Village sees the drawings. The Molsbee family has roofed Palm Beach County from Lake Worth Beach since 1975 as Florida Certified Roofing Contractor CCC1327429, and 561-318-8624 is answered 24 hours a day.
A standing seam roof weighs a fraction of what concrete tile weighs, so on a house framed for shingle it is an upgrade that rarely needs structural work first. That makes metal the realistic step up on many of the village's original houses, where tile would start with an engineer.
We still look at the framing wherever the attic allows and write down what we saw, so the choice rests on the house rather than on a brochure.
Exposed-fastener panels are screwed through the metal into the deck, and every screw is a hole sealed by a rubber washer that ages in the sun. On board decking that has held two or three earlier roofs, some of those screws land in split or soft wood.
Standing seam panels are held by clips under the raised seams, so nothing pierces the face and the panels can move with the heat. We keep screw-down panels to sheds and carports.
The village fronts Lake Worth Lagoon and the Intracoastal rather than the open ocean, which softens the salt compared with the barrier island to the east, but it does not remove it. Ordinary trim and plain steel fasteners still corrode on waterfront streets such as Paradise Harbour Boulevard.
On those addresses we specify the edge metal, valley metal and fastener alloy for the exposure and name each grade on the written price.
Roof shape comes first, because every hip, valley and wall junction means more cutting and more trim. Then what comes off, since stripping tile takes longer than stripping shingle, and what the deck needs once it is bare.
Panel profile, gauge and finish follow, then the flashing at walls, pipes and edges. Each is its own line on our price, and the manufacturer's warranty and our lifetime workmanship warranty are both written into it.
On a metal reroof in North Palm Beach, the permit through My Government Online and any appearance review decide when the panels can be ordered, so we settle them before the material.
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.

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 price metal after a free inspection, because the figure depends on the house: its size and shape, what comes off, the deck underneath and the trim the exposure calls for. Standing seam usually prices above shingle, and against a new tile roof the gap depends on the profile and the deck.
Where you are weighing two materials, we price both on the same written sheet, so the difference is on paper before you choose.
Mostly the details, rarely the panels. Exposed screws loosen and their washers perish, trim at walls and pipes leaks where it has been sealed instead of flashed, and ordinary fasteners corrode in the salt air off the lagoon.
Standing seam on hidden clips answers the screws, flashed junctions answer the trim, and fasteners chosen for the exposure answer the salt. We write all three into the scope for a North Palm Beach house.
Not the way most people expect. The panels go over a solid deck and self-adhered underlayment rather than open framing, so rain sounds much as it does under shingle.
What owners notice more is the heat: a light finish reflects much of the sun that lands on it, which helps on a single-storey village house with a large roof area. We bring finish samples to the inspection so you can see the colours in daylight.
Usually, and the frame gets an easier job, because metal is far lighter than tile. The tile comes off, the deck is inspected and repaired, and new underlayment and flashings go on before the panels.
If your community has an association, ask whether it allows metal and in which colours before we price it. The Village wants the panel, gauge and finish named on the drawings, and we prepare that file with the product approvals.
