    Tile roof replacement in Palm Beach

    On the island of Palm Beach a tile roof is part of the streetscape, and the Town treats it that way. The clay barrel roofs of El Encanto, Royal Park and Poinciana Park, the estates along South Ocean Boulevard, the Everglades Island and Dodge Estates homes on the Lake Worth Lagoon side: these are roofs the architectural commission reviews for profile, color blend and even the way the caps are set, before a permit is issued. That is the first thing to know about replacing tile in 33480. The second is what the ocean does to a roof. The island is a barrier island, salt on both sides, and the tile itself barely notices. What corrodes is everything metal beneath and around it: valley flashing, drip edge, the copper or steel at chimneys and parapets, the nails and screws holding hip and ridge caps. A Palm Beach tile roof that looks flawless from Worth Avenue can be running water down rusted valley metal into a plaster ceiling. Molsbee Roofing has been a family business since 1975, based in Lake Worth Beach and working Palm Beach County, Jupiter to Boca Raton, and the island is a short drive over the Southern Boulevard bridge. A Palm Beach tile re-roof with us begins with the Town: the architectural submittal, samples of blended clay in the range the commission expects, cut sheets, and where a home is landmarked, the additional review that carries. Only then the Town of Palm Beach permit. Then the roof: old tile stripped and sorted, with sound clay saved for hips and ridges so the new roof reads as the old one; deck walked sheet by sheet and rot cut out; new self-adhered underlayment lapped and rolled; every valley lined in copper or stainless; tile loaded and laid to the county's wind-code attachment; caps bedded in mortar or foam and screwed with stainless; the Town inspecting the dry-in and the finish. Copper and stainless are not upgrades on the island, they are the specification, because salt finds anything less within a few seasons. Free roof inspections: a roofer lifts tile at the suspect laps, photographs the felt, the deck and the metal, and hands you an itemized scope with the price.

    a handful of roofs in Palm Beach (the island) since March 2026

    What it costs

    Tile is the top end of what a full roof costs in Palm Beach County: heavy material, slower work, and the underlayment beneath it carries much of the price. We measure and write the number down.

    Blended clay barrel: what the Town expects to see

    A Palm Beach clay roof is rarely one color. It is a blend of terracotta shades, sometimes with salvaged tile mixed in, laid so the roof looks settled from the day it is finished. The architectural commission reviews the blend, the profile and the cap treatment, and El Encanto or Royal Park neighbors will notice a roof that reads as new and flat. We bring blended samples to the inspection, prepare the submittal in the form the Town expects, and salvage sound original tile for the hips and ridges where it shows most.

    Copper, stainless, and nothing less

    Between the Atlantic and the Lake Worth Lagoon, ordinary galvanized valley metal and plain steel fasteners fail in a few seasons. On the island we line valleys in copper or stainless, run stainless or copper drip edge, set hip and ridge caps with stainless screws, and flash chimneys and parapets in copper that will weather to the green the older estates already wear. It costs more than the metal a mainland roof gets. It is also the only reason a Palm Beach tile roof lasts as long as its tile.

    Town of Palm Beach review, permit and inspections

    Nothing goes on a roof in 33480 without the Town. Architectural review comes first, landmark review where a house carries that designation, then the building permit, then inspections at dry-in and final. The estates on South Ocean Boulevard and the lagoon-side homes at Everglades Island and Dodge Estates all move through the same sequence. Our written schedule includes the review time, which is why the finish date we give you is one the Town's calendar allows.

    What moves the price of an island tile roof

    Area and pitch first: the estates carry large, steep, cut-up roofs with many valleys, chimneys and parapets, each of them copper flashing and labor. Blended clay costs more than single-color clay, which costs more than concrete. Layers coming off and soft decking underneath. Copper and stainless throughout. Tile is the top rung of a full roof in this county and the island sits at the top of that rung. Palm Beach has not given us enough tile jobs to quote a town-only figure, so we measure yours and write it down.
