Lifetime Workmanship WarrantyCommercial roofing in Palm Beach covers condominium buildings, shops along Worth Avenue and the commercial buildings of Royal Poinciana Way, and each job starts with a free survey of every roof area, photographed and priced in writing for the owner, manager or board. We separate repairable details from sections that need replacing, so a board can decide what to fund now and what to plan for later.
On the island, the town's design review, contractor registration and construction hours shape the schedule as much as the roof does. We are a family-owned company, three generations in, working the island from our shop across the lagoon in Lake Worth Beach.
On a shopping street, the roof access, the customer entrance and the delivery door often share the same stretch of pavement. We agree opening hours, delivery times and any shared entrance with the owner before choosing where equipment stands, and the scope shows how materials go up and debris comes down with the least disruption to trade.
Noisy work stays inside the town's construction hours, which are shorter in the winter season.
For an association on Sloan's Curve or the south-end condominium island, we survey every roof area and give the manager photographs and a scope for each, so the board can see which sections are sound, which need repair and which need replacing. Where the buildings and access allow, the proposal is phased building by building, each phase with its own price and protection at its boundary, and each run to the town's seasonal clock.
A commercial re-roof that changes the material or how the building looks from the street goes to the Architectural Commission, or to the Landmarks Preservation Commission for a landmarked building, before the permit. A membrane hidden behind a parapet is a different case from a visible tile mansard, and we establish which review applies before the project relies on a particular finish.
The permit then goes through the town's EPL portal.
We check the existing layers, moisture in the insulation and the attachment before discussing a recover or a coating, because a coating over wet insulation traps the problem. Where tear-off is needed, the proposal names the new membrane, insulation, drainage and edge details; where a repair is enough, it identifies the defect and the sound roof around it.
The owner receives our lifetime workmanship warranty on the installation and the manufacturer's warranty on materials, both in writing.
On a commercial roof in Palm Beach, the permit through EPL portal is filed with the building's scope and phasing, so tenants know the schedule before we start.
On the island the roof goes to a design board before it goes to the permit desk. A re-roof that changes the material or appearance goes before the Architectural Commission, which looks closely at roof tile profile; a landmarked house goes to the Landmarks Preservation Commission instead. The permit form asks whether the scope has been before either board and records the existing and proposed roof material. Every contractor registers with the town in the EPL portal first.
The work calendar is town ordinance: December to April, weekdays 8 to 5 with no Saturdays, Sundays or holidays and no heavy equipment before 9; May to November, 8 to 6 with no Sundays; a construction pause from December 24 to January 1. The island is not exempt from the Saturday rule. The whole island is in the 170 mph band, and on the re-roofs we build a self-adhered secondary water barrier is sealed to the deck.
Molsbee Roofing was amazing. I called needing a roof leak repaired. They were able to get a crew out the next day. Very professional. Everyone had Molsbee shirts on, Molsbee trucks. They took before pictures, pictures of the wood, pictures of every step of the repair. I will be doing my new roof with Molsbee Roofing.Read on Google
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
We signed or completed a handful of roofing jobs with a Palm Beach address over the last twelve months.

It is priced from the survey, not from the building's footprint. Removal, wet insulation, deck repair, the new membrane and its attachment, roof height, drains, rooftop equipment and access for staging all move the figure, and on the island so do the design review and the town's construction hours.
Our island commercial records are too few for a published range. After a free survey, the owner or board receives the defined scope and price in writing, phased where that suits the building.
Yes, the code rule covers commercial and residential roofs alike. Florida's quarter-roof rule: when more than a quarter of a roof system or section is repaired, replaced or recovered in any 12-month period, the roof covering across that entire system or section must be replaced or recovered to meet current code requirements.
An exception applies 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 repaired, replaced or recovered must meet applicable current code requirements. Our inspection helps determine which applies to your roof.
For an association weighing repairs across several buildings, that matters when choosing between patching and a phased re-roof.
Ask every bidder for the same things in writing: photographs of the conditions found, the layers to be removed, the new assembly, drainage and edge details, rooftop equipment coordination, phasing and protection, the permit and any board submission, and both warranties. Check the contractor's state licence and registration with the town.
A proposal that cannot show the condition it is fixing, or leaves major items as open allowances, is harder to hold a contractor to.
We plan it so the business can keep trading where the building allows. Before work starts we map the roof access point, the customer entrance and the delivery pattern with the owner, and agree where materials and debris will move and when.
Any restricted area on the pavement is agreed in advance so the business can post notices, and noisy work stays within the town's construction hours. An owner who is away receives photographs of the conditions found and the finished roof.
We inspect the curbs, penetrations and membrane around each unit and state in the scope where the roofing work stops and the equipment contractor's starts. If a unit has to be disconnected or lifted for the flashing to be done properly, the owner knows in advance who does it and when.
On a condominium building the manager receives that sequence in writing, so residents hear about any shutdown before it happens.
