Molsbee Roofing was amazing. I called needing a roof leak repaired. They were able to get a crew out the next day. Very professional. Everyone had Molsbee shirts on, Molsbee trucks. They took before pictures, pictures of the wood, pictures of every step of the repair. I will be doing my new roof with Molsbee Roofing.Read on Google

Roof replacement in North Palm Beach
Request your free inspection
Roof replacement in North Palm Beach usually means taking a third covering off a house the village built in its first decades, and what that covering has been hiding decides the job. We strip to the boards, photograph them, replace what has gone soft and seal a self-adhered secondary water barrier to the deck before the new roof goes on.
The Village file goes in complete through My Government Online, and the roof is fastened for the 170 mph band the whole village sits in. The inspection is free, and the scope and price come in writing.
Molsbee Roofing has served Palm Beach County since 1975 from our shop in Lake Worth Beach, under Florida license CCC1327429.

Planning a new roof in North Palm Beach
Replace, or keep patching a founding-era village roof?
A leak at one pipe boot on a firm deck is a repair, and the written option says so. A new roof is the better answer when the boards have gone soft along old nail lines, when an earlier layer is still hiding under the current one, or when patches from different decades have started to part at their joins.
We look for those signs at the eaves, the rakes and in the attic, and the report sets out which of them we found on your house.
Shingle, tile or standing seam on a North Palm Beach house
Architectural shingle suits much of the original stock, which was framed for a light roof. Tile fits where the house was built or rebuilt to carry it; a frame meant for shingle may need an engineer's word before a switch.
Standing seam metal is light, keeps its clips hidden under the seams and is turning up along the lagoon. On waterfront streets the edge metal and fasteners are chosen for salt whichever covering goes on, and the village's material pages cover each choice in depth.
The Village file at 701 US Highway 1, and any association first
The Building Division takes re-roof permits through My Government Online, and its list is exact: the application, the signed contract, two copies of the county 100/200/300/400 roofing forms that fit the system, and two copies of each product approval. We assemble every copy before filing, because one missing sheet is what holds a file up.
Where a community association governs the roof, its approval of material and color comes first. The 33408 ZIP is shared with Juno Beach, so we confirm the parcel sits inside the village before anything goes in.
Tear-off, bridges and inspections on a village re-roof
The old covering comes off to the boards, and each board or sheet we replace is photographed against the deck allowance in your price. The deck is re-nailed to the 170 mph schedule, the water barrier is sealed down, and new flashing and edge metal go in rather than old pieces reused.
The Village inspects by photo, virtually or in person, as it decides. On the Country Club island, where three bridges carry every truck, the tile and dumpster moves are mapped before the permit is filed, and cleanup closes the job.
How it works in North Palm Beach
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.
- 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.

All service areas ↗Roof replacement questions in North Palm Beach
How can you tell a North Palm Beach roof is due for replacement?
Not from the year on the deed. A tired village roof shows waves across a slope, nails backing out, soft spots underfoot and board ends gone dark at the eaves, and an old re-cover shows its extra thickness at the rake.
We photograph each sign at the free inspection and tell you plainly whether the next step is a repair, a partial job or a new roof.
Does a new roof in North Palm Beach mean upgrading the roof-to-wall connections?
It can on higher-value homes, since the whole village lies in the wind-borne debris region and the code can require those connections to be strengthened when the covering is replaced. The cost of that retrofit is capped at a share of the re-roof price.
We check at the inspection whether your house is likely to need it and write it as its own line, so it never first appears at permit time.
What if the tear-off on my North Palm Beach house finds more bad boards?
The written price carries a deck allowance and a stated rate beyond it. Once the roof is open we photograph the boards, and nothing past the allowance is replaced until you have seen the picture and agreed.
On a house from the fifties or sixties that step matters, because boards nailed through for two or three roofs can look sound from the attic and still fail to hold a new nail.
Which documents and prices does a North Palm Beach homeowner get with the new roof?
Before work you receive the inspection photographs and a written scope with the price, the deck allowance and the materials named. After the Village's final inspection you receive the permit record, photographs of the finished roof and the manufacturers' product warranties in writing, with a roof certification letter for your insurer when you ask.
Your price is written once the free inspection is done, and our North Palm Beach roof replacement cost page explains the lines that move it. Financing on approved credit is available too, with zero-down options and flexible terms.
