Metal roofing is one of the most searched roofing questions in Palm Beach Gardens, and the honest first answer is: it depends on your community. The Gardens is a town of architectural review boards. Mirasol, Mirabella at Mirasol, Ballenisles, Evergrene and the PGA Resort Community in 33418 were built on concrete tile and many of their committees still require it, or allow metal only in specific profiles and colors. Other communities, and the larger custom homes at Frenchmans Creek and Frenchmans Reserve in 33410 and the acreage lots at Horseshoe Acres West, have opened the door to standing-seam metal, and once one house on a street has it the questions start. The appeal is real. A standing-seam roof sheds rain instantly, holds on in wind that lifts tile, reflects heat instead of soaking it into the attic, and is the closest thing to a replace-it-once roof we install. Near the Intracoastal it also avoids the underlayment-under-tile problem that drives so many Gardens leaks, provided the fasteners and edge metal are coastal grade. We are Molsbee Roofing, a family-run company since 1975, based in Lake Worth Beach and working across Palm Beach County, Jupiter to Boca Raton. Before we quote a metal roof in Palm Beach Gardens we check what your association allows, because a beautiful proposal for a roof the committee will reject is a waste of your time. Where metal is allowed, the job runs like this: tear off the old roof, inspect and repair the deck, lay a high-temperature self-adhered underlayment, then install panels formed to length for each roof plane on concealed clips, with no exposed fasteners across the field, permitted and inspected by the City of Palm Beach Gardens. Where metal is not allowed we say so and price the tile the community requires instead. Free roof inspections: we measure, photograph, and put standing seam, tile and shingle side by side in writing for your house. Open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at 561-318-8624.

Metal costs more than shingle up front and sits near tile at the upper end of a full roof in Palm Beach County. It lasts decades. We price metal, tile and shingle side by side for your house.
Many Palm Beach Gardens associations still require tile; others allow standing seam in approved colors and profiles; a few allow it only on certain elevations. We check the architectural standards for Mirasol, Ballenisles, Evergrene, the PGA Resort Community, Frenchmans Creek and the rest before the inspection, prepare the submittal if metal is permitted, and tell you plainly if it is not. No proposal for a roof you cannot build.
Standing seam is the premium system: panels formed to length, concealed clips, no exposed screws across the roof, and the clean vertical lines that suit the newer custom homes in 33410 and 33418. 5V crimp is the traditional exposed-fastener Florida panel, less expensive and right for some cottages and outbuildings, but every screw is a future maintenance point. Where an association permits metal at all it almost always means standing seam, and that is what we recommend on a primary home.
Every panel system we install carries a Florida Product Approval for the wind zone Palm Beach County sits in, and the clip spacing, edge metal and underlayment are installed to that approval. That is what the City of Palm Beach Gardens inspector checks and what your close-out paperwork documents. We keep the approval numbers in your file. Our job is to install to the standard and prove it; what you do with the documentation afterward is yours.
Metal costs more than shingle up front and sits near tile at the upper end of what a full roof costs in Palm Beach County. Standing seam versus 5V, aluminum versus coated steel, roof size and pitch, the number of valleys and penetrations to flash, and the deck condition once the old roof is off all move the price. Homes near the Intracoastal add corrosion-rated components. We price metal, tile and shingle side by side for your exact house, in writing.
