Roof replacement in Palm Beach Gardens is usually a tile job behind a gate, planned around an architectural committee before the city sees a single page. Many roofs in BallenIsles, Mirasol and Evergrene date from the mid-1990s build-out, and their underlayment is reaching its end at roughly the same time.
A new roof here begins with a free inspection, photographs of what sits under the tile and a written scope with the price, so you know whether you are buying a re-roof or still a repair. Molsbee Roofing has served Palm Beach County since 1975 from our shop in Lake Worth Beach, under Florida license CCC1327429.
On an original mid-1990s roof the concrete tile usually holds up while the felt beneath it wears through. Replacement becomes the honest answer when that felt crumbles at every lifted tile, when leaks appear on more than one slope in the same season, or when ridge mortar and wall flashings are failing together.
A single cracked tile or one tired flashing is still repair work. We lift tile on each slope, photograph the underlayment and write down which of those two cases your Gardens roof is in.
Concrete tile to the association's profile and color covers most Gardens streets, and a re-roof normally means new tile over new underlayment. Where a roof is sound clay barrel tile, we can detach and reset the same pieces over the new layers.
Shingle fits houses outside the gates or where a committee accepts it, and standing seam metal goes on only where the community allows it. Flat lanai and garage sections are redone in TPO or modified bitumen and tied into the new roof at the wall.
Inside PGA National the Architectural Review Committee approves a single-family re-roof first, and the work must finish within 45 calendar days of starting. BallenIsles, Mirasol, Frenchman's Creek and Alton each keep their own review.
The city's file then goes on its Community Development Portal as PDFs from our registered contractor account, with the Reroofing Form 400 for any flat section. A Gardens mailing address can fall outside the city line, so we confirm the parcel before choosing the county desk or the city one.
Tile is delivered and staging booked before the old roof comes off, because the association's clock starts at tear-off. The roof is stripped to the deck, the sheathing re-nailed and any soft boards photographed and priced as their own line.
A self-adhered secondary water barrier goes over the whole deck, followed by new metal flashing at walls and penetrations. Fastening follows the parcel's side of the 160 and 170 mph lines.
City inspections follow the stages the permit sets, crews wear protective, safe footwear on tile, and the site is cleaned before the final.
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.

We signed or completed a few roofing jobs with a Palm Beach Gardens address over the last twelve months.
All service areas ↗Look at the layer under the tile, not the tile. If the felt tears wherever a piece is lifted and leaks keep moving across slopes, a re-roof is the sounder spend.
The quarter-roof rule considers how much of a roof system or section is repaired, replaced or recovered in any 12-month period. Above a quarter, the roof covering across that entire system or section generally must be replaced or recovered 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. Before advising on a Gardens roof we look up its permit record with the city, and the written scope prices a repair and a replacement on separate lines.
It means the job is scheduled backwards from the day the tile comes off. The Architectural Review Committee approves the re-roof, the city permit is issued, the tile is on the ground and the inspections are lined up before tear-off.
Once the deck is exposed it is dried in the same working period, so weather does not eat into the window. We put that sequence in writing, with the start and finish dates the association will hold you to.
We do. Inside the city, the Building Division on North Military Trail takes the application on its Community Development Portal, where we are registered and upload the plan set, product approvals and any flat-roof form.
The city sells expedited review for a fee, which is worth paying only when a roof is already open or an association clock is running. If the parcel sits outside the city line, the re-roof is filed with Palm Beach County instead, and we tell you which before we quote.
Before work: photographs, the association packet and a written scope with the price, listing tear-off, deck repairs, underlayment, tile or other covering, flashing, permit and cleanup. After work: the city's inspection results, photographs of the finished roof and the manufacturers' product warranties in writing.
If your insurer asks for a roof certification letter, we provide one. The written price follows the free inspection, and our Palm Beach Gardens roof replacement cost page explains what moves it.
Financing is available on approved credit, including zero-down options and flexible terms.
