Molsbee roofing did a fantastic job on my cement tile roof. Merrick and Nicole were very communicative throughout the entire process. Can't thank them enough. If you are shopping for a roof look no further!Read on Google

Palm Beach Gardens · Metal roof replacement
In Palm Beach Gardens the first question about a metal roof is whether the community will have one. Much of the city sits behind a gate with an architectural review, PGA National's rules require the committee's approval for a re-roof and set completion requirements, and many of those houses were built with tile.
Metal comes up where a review allows it, on an outbuilding, or on the houses that were built with it. The city sits inland of US-1, so salt is a smaller factor than in the beach towns and the metal is chosen for the look and the wind.
Molsbee Roofing installs standing seam and exposed-fastener metal here from our shop in Lake Worth Beach, and asks the association before anything is priced. We are a Florida Certified Roofing Contractor CCC1327429, and the phone at 561-318-8624 is answered at all hours.

Before the work starts
Before a metal reroof in Palm Beach Gardens
Ask the committee before you ask the roofer
In Palm Beach Gardens the architectural committee decides whether a metal roof exists at all. PGA National's rules require the committee's approval before any re-roof and set completion requirements for the work; BallenIsles, Mirasol, Evergrene and Frenchman's Creek each run their own review.
Whether metal is allowed, and in which colours, is the community's call, so we ask before a single panel is priced. If the answer is yes we prepare the submittal with the panel sample and the product approval, and the city permit follows on its Community Development Portal, roofer registered first.
Standing seam on the house, screws on the pool house
Standing seam runs long panels between raised seams over hidden clips, so nothing pierces the face of the roof; that is the metal for a Gardens house. Exposed-fastener panels, screwed through the face, belong on a garage, a pool house or a shed where the look matters less.
Palm Beach Gardens sits across a wind-band line, so the clip spacing and the screw pattern come from the parcel's wind requirement, not from the ZIP code. Under either panel the sheathing is re-nailed and covered with the self-adhered secondary water barrier we specify, a method the code allows, before the metal goes down.
Panels on site before the tear-off
Standing seam panels are cut to the length of each roof run, so they are ordered ahead. On a PGA National house that matters because the committee's completion requirements run from the day work starts.
We schedule a Gardens metal roof backwards: the association's letter, the city permit, the panels delivered and checked on site, then the tear-off. Going from tile to metal, the tear-off also clears old mortar and battens, and soft sheathing is photographed and priced as its own line.
We put the sequence in writing when you sign.
Our Gardens roofs, and why there is no metal count
Our Palm Beach Gardens work in the last year was full re-roofs on Aspen Way and Beaconhill Road and a repair on Illicium Drive, and we do not round that up. Our quoting records note the address and the price but not the material, so none of those is written up here as metal.
The roof in the photograph is captioned by material alone because its address is not on file.
How it works in Palm Beach Gardens
Free inspection, photographedA Molsbee roofer looks at the roof, the deck and the exposed edges, and puts the whole price in writing.
Panel, underlayment and connections namedThe proposal names the panel system, the underlayment, the edge metal and how the panels attach, so you compare a construction, not a colour.
Permit through Community Development PortalWe file the roofing permit with the City of Palm Beach Gardens through its Community Development Portal and keep the paperwork aligned with the approved design.
Tear-off, deck, underlayment, panelsRemoval can reveal deck damage; we record it and explain what remains concealed. Then underlayment, flashing and the panel system.
Final inspection and warrantyWe handle the inspection. The Lifetime Workmanship Warranty and the manufacturer warranty go in writing.
Permits and code
Permits in Palm Beach Gardens
On a metal reroof in Palm Beach Gardens, the permit through Community Development Portal and any appearance review decide when the panels can be ordered, so we settle them before the material.
Palm Beach Gardens takes permits on its Community Development Portal, a PDF-only system where the contractor registers before anything is filed. The city posts its own Reroofing Form 400 for flat roofs and offers paid expedited review on published ten-business-day and two-business-day tracks; its FAQ says smaller permits may be approved within days.
Inside PGA National the association's rule comes first: a single-family re-roof needs Architectural Review Committee approval and must finish within 45 calendar days of starting, so tile delivery and staging are booked before tear-off. The city straddles the 160 and 170 mph wind lines, so we check the parcel, not the ZIP code. Under the new covering we specify a self-adhered secondary water barrier, one of the methods the code allows.
Local conditionsBuilt for Palm Beach Gardens
- Inland of the Intracoastal
- The city has no ocean frontage; it sits west of US-1 behind the coastal towns. Wind still sets the fastening schedule, and the December 2024 flood maps still apply to lake and canal lots.
- Housing from the mid-1990s
- A 1995 median build year means many roofs in BallenIsles, Mirasol and Evergrene are original and approaching their first replacement together, often under an association tile specification.
- Club communities and their rules
- From PGA National to Frenchman's Creek and Alton, an architectural committee usually signs off before the city sees the file. We prepare that packet with the same care as the permit.

Metal roof replacement questions in Palm Beach Gardens
What does metal cost on a Gardens house?
There is no metal-only figure for the Gardens; the number above is our county-wide range for every full re-roof we signed across Palm Beach County last year, in every material, because our Gardens roofs are too few to price as a town. Where standing seam lands inside that range depends on the size of the roof, the panel profile and colour the committee approves, and what the tile tear-off reveals in the sheathing.
The quote sets metal beside tile, line for line, so the difference is on paper before you decide.
Will my community allow a metal roof?
Only the committee can answer that, so we ask it before anything is priced. PGA National requires architectural approval for any re-roof; BallenIsles, Mirasol, Evergrene and Frenchman's Creek run their own reviews, and some of them hold the houses to a tile specification.
Where standing seam is allowed it is in approved colours, and the association's letter comes before the city permit, never after. When the answer is yes we bring the panel samples and the product approval to the submittal.
How do we plan a metal roof around association completion requirements?
Backwards from the deadline, with the panels on site before the old roof comes off. Standing seam panels are cut to length for each run and ordered ahead, so where an association sets completion requirements, as PGA National does, we book the delivery before the tear-off, never the other way round.
We confirm the requirements with your association, file the city permit once the letter is in, and give you the sequence in writing so you know which day the window opens and what has to be on site by then.
Standing seam or screwed panels in the Gardens?
Standing seam on the house, exposed-fastener panels on the outbuildings. Standing seam hides its clips under raised seams so nothing pierces the face; screwed-down panels suit a garage, a pool house or a shed where cost matters more than looks.
Both are fastened to the parcel's wind requirement, which we check first because the city sits across a wind-band line and the answer changes from street to street. Inland, away from the lagoon, a coated steel panel is usually the sensible choice; on a lake or canal lot we compare it with aluminum, and the quote names the alloy.
Under metal we specify a self-adhered, high-temperature underlayment, one of the secondary water barrier methods the code allows.
