Request your free inspection
Roof repair in North Palm Beach usually means a village house built in the fifties or sixties, with board decking under its second or third covering. Any village repair opens with a free inspection, and you get photos of what the roofer found and a written scope with the price, all before work.
We repair shingle on the original streets of Old Port Village and along Lighthouse Drive, tile where houses were built for it, flat roofs over Florida rooms and carports in Juno Isles, and metal on the lagoon side of Yacht Club Drive. Molsbee Roofing has served Palm Beach County since 1975 from our shop in Lake Worth Beach, under Florida license CCC1327429.

A slipped course of shingle, a cracked pipe boot or one tired wall flashing is a repair when the boards under it still take a nail. The answer changes when the deck has been fastened through for two or three coverings and has gone soft along the old nail lines, or when earlier patches sit side by side across a slope.
Before pricing either answer we look up the roof's permit history with the Village, and the written scope draws the repair boundary and prices any replacement as a separate option.
On shingle, the work replaces the damaged courses and the underlayment beneath them and laps the new shingle into the sound field. Where clay barrel tile is sound but the underlayment under it has failed, the tile is lifted, the underlayment and flashing are renewed, and the same tile goes back, set by crews in protective, safe footwear.
A flat Florida room or carport is repaired at its junction with the house, with new flashing taken up the wall. On metal near Paradise Harbour Boulevard, corroded fasteners and trim are replaced in a grade chosen for lagoon salt.
Water covers two of the village's five square miles, and on Yacht Club Drive, Marine Way and Paradise Harbour Boulevard the edge metal and flashing wear out before the field of the roof. A repair on those streets replaces the metal around the failure instead of sealing over it, fastened to the 170 mph band that applies across the whole village.
On the Country Club island, reached by three bridges, tile, material and debris moves are arranged before the repair is booked.
From the roof and the attic we read the covering, the edges, the valleys, every flashing and pipe boot, and the underside of the boards where the roof space allows. Nobody sees the top face of an old board deck, the nails holding it or the underlayment under unlifted tile until that area is opened.
The scope separates what was seen from what was not. When an opening turns up soft boards or an earlier layer, we photograph it and price it as its own line, and nothing is closed over until you approve it.
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.

We signed or completed a few roofing jobs with a North Palm Beach address over the last twelve months.
All service areas ↗Often, if the damage sits in one place and the deck around it still holds a nail. Leaks that move from patch to patch, or boards that give underfoot across a slope, point to replacement.
The quarter-roof rule considers how much of a roof system or section is repaired, replaced or recovered in any 12-month period. Above a quarter, the roof covering across that entire system or section generally must be replaced or recovered 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. We check the Village permit record and measure the damaged area against the roof section it belongs to, and the repair and the replacement come back side by side in writing, with photographs.
That depends on the scope and, first, on the parcel, because 33408 is shared with Juno Beach. For a Village address we confirm with the Building Division at 701 US Highway 1 whether the repair needs a permit before work starts.
When it does, the file goes in through My Government Online with the signed contract, two copies of the county roofing forms and two copies of each product approval, and the Village inspects by photo, virtually or in person. The written scope says which route your repair takes.
Usually, yes. Those flat sections leak at the junction with the house or where water stands for days, and both can be put right on their own.
We cut a test square where the layers look wet, rebuild the tie-in with new flashing run up the wall, and price the flat section on its own lines. Where the section has no fall at all, the scope also prices tapered insulation or a cricket so the repair is not left sitting in the same standing water.
For an active leak, finding where the water enters comes first, and our North Palm Beach roof leak repair page covers that search. The number is 561-318-8624, answered 24 hours a day, and it helps to say which room is wet.
After that, a roofer looks over the rest of the roof, and anything beyond the leak is priced as a separate line in the written scope.
Before work you hold the photographs of the findings and the written scope with its price. When the repair is done you receive photographs of the finished work, the Village permit and inspection record if a permit applied, and the manufacturers' product warranties in writing; a roof certification letter for your insurer follows on request.
