Lifetime Workmanship WarrantyWe inspect roofs in Palm Beach Gardens for free, lifting tile where it matters, checking the underlayment and the deck, and handing you labeled photographs with a written verdict on repair, relay (on clay barrel tile) or replacement. Any work we recommend is priced in writing, and the report is yours to share with a buyer, a seller or your association in PGA National, BallenIsles, Mirasol, Evergrene or Frenchman's Creek.
Tell us about gate and attic access when you book; Molsbee Roofing is Florida Certified Roofing Contractor CCC1327429, and someone picks up (561) 318-8624 at every hour.
Tile rarely shows its own failures, so we lift pieces at the valleys, around chimneys and vents, along wall flashings and at the eaves, where the underlayment tends to give out first. We check the metal flashings for rust and gaps, and in an accessible attic we look for stains on the deck and check the roof-to-wall connections.
On shingle, metal or a flat section the checks change to suit the system. The report says plainly which areas we could reach and which we could not.
Before you sign on a house in Alton, Steeplechase or BallenIsles, an inspection tells you whether the roof is a line item or a negotiation. We look up the permit record with the city to see when the roof was last permitted, because that record helps check which code the roof was built, repaired or replaced to, and the inspection determines how Florida's quarter-roof rule treats future repairs.
If work is needed you get a written price you can put in front of the seller, and any proposal inside a club community goes to its association for review.
Many Gardens roofs sit behind a gate, so arrange entry with your association or the gatehouse and tell us who will meet us on site. We need a clear path to the attic hatch and, on a taller house, room to set a ladder away from the pool cage.
If you have your association's roof rules from PGA National or Frenchman's Reserve, keep them to hand; we photograph the tile profile and colour so any later submittal starts from the record.
The report opens with a plain verdict: sound, repair, relay the tile (clay barrel only), or replace the roof. Each finding is tied to a labeled photograph showing where on the roof it sits, and each recommended item carries its own written price, so you can act on part of it without committing to the rest.
A buyer, a seller or an association board can read it without us in the room, and it is yours whether or not you hire us.
For work in Palm Beach Gardens, confirm requirements with the building department responsible for the property and complete any required historic or HOA review before ordering materials or beginning work.
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.
Molsbee Roofing has made getting a new roof an exceptional experience. They have been very responsive throughout the process. I am impressed that the final completion of a tile roof was completed in under 30 days from signing and provided at a competitive price.Read on Google
Molsbee Roofing was a pleasure to work with. While waiting for new roof tiles, they immediately showed up to repair existing leak so that no further damage would occur while waiting for new roof installation. They were in constant communication and we're pleased with our new roof.Read on Google
We signed or completed a few roofing jobs with a Palm Beach Gardens address over the last twelve months.
No fee for the visit or the written report; a repair, a barrel-tile relay or a re-roof is priced on its own sheet afterwards, in writing.

Nothing. The visit, the photographs and the written report are free, and the report is yours whether or not it recommends any work.
A home inspection covers the whole house and gives the roof a paragraph; ours stays on the roof, from the underlayment and the flashings to the deck in the attic. Anything it recommends is priced separately, item by item, and in writing, so you can compare it against any other roofer's figure.
If repairs, replacements or roof recovering cover more than a quarter of a roof system or section in any 12-month period, the code generally requires replacing or recovering the roof covering across that entire system or section 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.
Our inspection helps determine which applies to your roof. We check the permit record before advising on any large repair.
Not because of its age. A roof's age tells you little about its condition; what matters is whether the underlayment, the flashings and the deck are still doing their job.
On a Gardens tile roof the tile often outlasts the underlayment beneath it, so a roof that looks fine from the street can need new underlayment, by relay on clay barrel tile or with new tile on concrete, while an older roof can still be sound. The inspection settles it with photographs rather than a birthday.
It depends on the layer, not the roof as a whole. Concrete tile often outlives the underlayment beneath it, and flashings and pipe boots age on their own schedule.
Many roofs in BallenIsles, Mirasol and Evergrene are original to their mid-nineties houses and are coming up on their first replacement together, which is why we lift tile and look at the underlayment rather than guess from the year the house was built.
Yes, and it says why. Damage in a small area with sound underlayment around it is a repair; brittle underlayment across the roof under good clay barrel tile is a relay, and under concrete tile it means new tile; broken tile, a soft deck or failures on several slopes point to replacement.
Inside a club community a re-roof also goes to the association for review, so the report gives the board the photographs it will ask for. Our page on when to replace your roof in Palm Beach County explains the options in more depth.
