What a roof replacement costs in North Palm Beach

North Palm Beach asks two cost questions in the same breath, what will it run and can I finance it, and the village's geography shapes the first answer. A roof at Old Port Village, Juno Isles, Hidden Key or Captains Key, with the Lake Worth Lagoon at the back door, carries a metal line an inland roof does not: stainless or copper valley liners, drip edge, cap screws and tile fasteners, and aluminum rather than coated steel if the roof is metal, because lagoon salt destroys anything less within a few seasons. A roof in North Palm Beach Village or Palm Beach Lake Worth Estates toward Prosperity Farms Road skips that line. After it, the arithmetic is the county's. Squares of roof and how steep: the larger canal houses carry more roof and more cut-up roof than the ranches inland. Material: shingle at the affordable rung, concrete tile in the middle, clay barrel and standing seam at the top, flat sections over lanais priced by their own rules. What comes off and what is under it: one layer or two, and how much plywood and fascia has gone soft, which on a canal house often includes fascia the salt has eaten. Complexity: valleys, chimneys, skylights and dormers, each of them flashing and labor. Rules: the Country Club neighborhoods and several associations fix tile profile and color, and the Village of North Palm Beach permits after their approval. That is the whole list. On financing: yes, options exist and a roofer explains them at the inspection. Molsbee Roofing has been a family business since 1975, based in Lake Worth Beach and working Palm Beach County, Jupiter to Boca Raton, and we do not price a North Palm Beach roof from an aerial photograph. A roofer measures from the roof, checks the attic and the plywood, photographs the metal and the felt, and you receive an itemized scope for tile, metal and shingle side by side.
