Lifetime Workmanship WarrantyMolsbee Roofing inspects roofs across North Palm Beach for free: a roofer walks the roof, photographs what he finds and gives you a written report of what needs doing now, what can wait and what each item costs. On a village house the covering is the easy part to read, so the report is really about the deck underneath, whether an earlier roof is still hiding under this one, and the flat Florida room or carport link where these houses tend to leak.
Houses in Old Port Village and along Lighthouse Drive date from the village's founding years, and the report also says how close your roof sits to Florida's quarter-roof line. We have inspected roofs in this county since 1975 as a family business based in Lake Worth Beach, licensed as Florida Certified Roofing Contractor CCC1327429, and (561) 318-8624 is answered 24 hours a day.
Nobody can see a deck through a covering, but a tired one leaves signs. We look for waves and dips across the slope, fasteners backing out, a ridge line that has moved, spots that give underfoot, and the state of the board ends at the eaves and fascia.
Each sign is photographed and marked on the report. Where the evidence is mixed we say so plainly, because on a Lighthouse Drive house the deck decides more of the next price than the shingle does.
Many older village houses were re-covered once without the first roof coming off. A hidden layer changes the tear-off, the weight on the frame and what the code allows next, so it belongs in the report rather than on the morning of the job.
We check the eaves, the rake edges and around pipes and vents, where a second layer shows its thickness, and we photograph what we find so you can see it for yourself.
From the roof space we look for daylight at the eaves and around pipes, stains on the underside of the boards, sagging between rafters, and the straps or clips that tie the roof to the walls. What no inspection sees without opening the roof is the underlayment beneath an intact covering, the top face of the deck boards and the nails holding them.
The report lists which areas were seen and which were not, so if tear-off later shows soft boards, you already know they were an open question, and each one is photographed and priced before it is covered.
You get photographs of every slope, the edges, the penetrations and any flat section, then a plain list in three parts: what needs doing now, what to watch and what each item would cost. Where replacement is on the table, the report carries a deck allowance so the figure is complete.
It is free whether or not work follows, and if the roof will serve a few more years, that is what the report says, with a date to look again.
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.
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
We hired Molsbee Roofing for a residential roof project and were very impressed with the results. From the first inspection to the final cleanup, the team was prompt, professional, and transparent. They provided a clear estimate and delivered quality workmanship.Read on Google

Nothing. A Molsbee roofer walks the roof, photographs the covering, the edges and any flat addition, and hands you a written report you keep whether or not you hire us.
In North Palm Beach that visit usually includes a look for an earlier layer and a check of the Village permit history, because both change what a repair or replacement would cost. If the roof only needs watching, the report says so and suggests when to look again.
It changed how the quarter-roof rule applies. If repairs, replacements or roof recovering cover more than a quarter of a roof system or section in any 12-month period, the code generally requires replacing or recovering the roof covering across that entire system or section 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. Our inspection helps determine which applies to your roof.
We check the Village record for your address before anyone quotes.
No. Age tells you when to look closely; condition decides what to do.
A shingle roof that looks tidy from Lighthouse Drive can sit on boards that have gone soft, while an older tile roof can keep sound tile over underlayment that is the only part worn out. On sound clay barrel tile, that can mean detach-and-reset: we lift the tile, replace the underlayment and reset the same tile, and our crews wear protective, safe footwear on tile.
We photograph the deck, underlayment and flashings and tell you whether the next step is a repair, a partial job or a full replacement.
Our reports come from a Florida Certified Roofing Contractor, licence CCC1327429, and Molsbee Roofing is a GAF Certified Contractor and an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor. Each report carries photographs, written findings and a price for every item it recommends.
After we repair or re-roof, we provide a roof certification letter for your insurer when you ask for one. If a buyer, a seller or anyone else wants a particular form, tell us when you book, and we will say at once whether our report covers it before the roofer comes out.
Once a year suits most village roofs, ideally in spring before the summer storm season, when the permit desk is quiet and the roof is dry. Add a visit after any strong blow and whenever a stain appears on a ceiling, however faint.
A roof already showing its age, or one with a flat Florida room or carport link attached, should treat once a year as the minimum rather than the goal, because those sections change quickly.
