Roof leak repair in North Palm Beach

A North Palm Beach leak tells you where the house is before the roofer gets there. On the canal streets of Old Port Village, Juno Isles, Hidden Key, Hidden Key North and Captains Key, with the Lake Worth Lagoon at the back door, the leak is in the metal: a galvanized valley liner rusted through, drip edge flaked off in strips, hip and ridge nails weeping brown lines down intact tile, a screw on a 5V roof corroded through its washer. Inland toward Prosperity Farms Road, in North Palm Beach Village and Palm Beach Lake Worth Estates, it is the ordinary Florida pattern: felt under the tile cracking at the laps after decades in an attic, a pipe boot split by the sun, a valley clogged with leaves until water backed up under the roofing, the flashing where a patio roof meets the house. On the village's condominium and Country Club buildings it is a corroded scupper or a seam where water ponded on a flat roof. In all of 33408 the stain is a poor guide: water travels along the underlayment or the membrane until a nail or a seam lets it drop, often rooms away. Molsbee Roofing has been a family business since 1975, based in Lake Worth Beach and working Palm Beach County, Jupiter to Boca Raton, and repairs are the bulk of what we do. In North Palm Beach a roofer walks the roof and, where there is access, the attic; traces the stain uphill; probes the valley and eave metal; lifts tile at the suspect laps; photographs the entry point; and hands you the pictures with an itemized price for exactly that fix. If the roof is sound you hear that. If stainless or copper metal will hold it for years, that is the job. If the felt has failed across the slope, the photographs make the case without a pitch.
