Had Molsbee roofing do a patch on my roof. It was a very reasonable price, and they didn't try to oversell me. I'll absolutely use them when I'm ready to replace my roof.Read on Google

Riviera Beach · Commercial roofing
Molsbee Roofing repairs and replaces commercial roofs in Riviera Beach, from shops along Broadway to warehouses near the Port of Palm Beach and condo buildings on Singer Island. We start with a free roof inspection of the roof and the space beneath it, then give the owner or manager a written scope with photographs, the price and a plan for keeping the building open while we work.
On the lagoon frontage the roof sits in the 170 mph wind band, so the recover-or-replace question is answered from the layers and moisture underneath, not the top surface. Family-owned since 1975 and licensed as Florida Certified Roofing Contractor CCC1327429, we answer (561) 318-8624 24 hours a day.

Before the work starts
Commercial roofs in Riviera Beach
Port of Palm Beach roofs: settle who approves entry first
The Port of Palm Beach is an independent taxing district with its own wharves and warehouses, so a roof on port property may answer to the Port as well as the City. Before we price, we establish who approves site entry, staging and changes to the building, and the scope names that authority.
Roofs on the port frontage sit in the 170 mph design wind band, which sets the membrane attachment and the edge metal we specify.
Broadway shops stay open while the roof is done
Along the Broadway Corridor, where the city's redevelopment agency is reshaping the street, the roof usually sits over a business that has to keep serving customers. We agree the roof areas, delivery times and ground space for material and debris with the owner, then phase the work so one section is open at a time and closed up before we leave it.
The scope writes that sequence down, including who tells tenants when weather changes the plan.
Recover or tear off on a lagoon-side flat roof
A recover lays a new membrane over the existing roof, and it holds only when the layers beneath are dry and firmly attached. We take test cuts and check for trapped moisture before offering it, because wet insulation sealed under a new membrane keeps the old problem alive.
Where both routes are sound, the written scope prices the recover and the full tear-off side by side, each with the attachment it needs for the wind band on the lagoon frontage.
Drains and rooftop units on a Riviera Beach warehouse roof
Commercial leaks tend to start where the membrane meets something: a drain, a pipe curb, a rooftop unit or a parapet wall. Water that ponds near a blocked outlet works at every seam around it.
We survey the drainage and every penetration, not only the field seams, and where a unit has to be lifted or reconnected by another trade, the proposal names that step, the timing and who is responsible for it.

Permits and code
Permits in Riviera Beach
For work in Riviera Beach, confirm requirements with the building department responsible for the property and complete any required historic or HOA review before ordering materials or beginning work.
The City of Riviera Beach issues the roofing permit from its Building Services Division on West Blue Heron Boulevard, through the Permits and Zoning Portal. The lobby opens Monday to Thursday 8 to 4 and Friday mornings; inspections can be booked up to three business days ahead. The building official is also the city's floodplain manager, and the city publishes its own flood zones map.
Palm Beach Shores, at the south tip of Singer Island, is a separate town with its own permit and clock: work Monday to Saturday, contractor vehicles off the island by 6 pm.
Singer Island and the port frontage sit in the 170 mph design wind band; the mainland west of the lagoon is 160 mph. The whole city is in the wind-borne debris region.
Local conditionsBuilt for Riviera Beach
- Condo towers on Singer Island
- Nearly five miles of Atlantic coast carry thousands of condos. The 42-storey Tiara was severely damaged by two hurricanes in 2004, and the association's engineer plus the 170 mph uplift tables set those jobs.
- Conchtown houses from the 1970s
- West of Lake Worth Lagoon the typical 33404 house dates to 1977, and the redevelopment agency is rebuilding Marina Village and Riviera Beach Heights.
- The Port and Broadway
- The Port of Palm Beach's wharves and warehouses and the shops along Broadway carry commercial roofs at the 170 mph lagoon frontage, where recover versus replace under the quarter-roof rule is the quote.

Commercial roofing questions in Riviera Beach
How do I choose a commercial roofer in Riviera Beach?
Start with the licence and the paperwork. A Florida certified roofing contractor's number belongs on the proposal, and ours is CCC1327429.
Then ask who pulls the permit with Building Services, how the work will be phased around your business and what the warranty covers: the manufacturer covers the materials, in writing. Reviews help too; we are rated 4.8 across 200+ Google reviews.
What does commercial roofing cost for a Riviera Beach building?
It is priced from a survey of your building, and the owner gets the figure in writing. The roof area, the layers to remove, wet insulation under the membrane, drainage corrections, rooftop equipment and the wind band all move it, and a port-side warehouse in the 170 mph band is specified more heavily than a mainland shop in the 160 mph band.
We show those items separately with photographs before the owner approves any scope.
Can repairs on a Broadway shop roof trigger the quarter-roof rule in Riviera Beach?
It can. 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.
We check the building's roof permit history with the City before recommending a large repair, and the scope tells the owner how close the work comes to that line.
Who issues a commercial roof permit in Riviera Beach, and where does the Port fit in?
For a city parcel, the City of Riviera Beach Building Services Division on West Blue Heron Boulevard, through its Permits and Zoning Portal. The lobby is open Monday to Thursday and on Friday mornings, and inspections can be booked up to three business days ahead, so we build them into the phasing.
For a building tied to the Port of Palm Beach, we confirm the Port's requirements for entry and staging before the schedule is set.
How can I tell if a commercial roof proposal for my Riviera Beach building holds up?
Check that it names the work. A sound proposal lists the removal, the insulation and membrane by product, the drainage work, edge metal for the wind band, the permit and the warranties, with photographs of the conditions it prices.
Be wary of a recover offered without test cuts, or a total with no allowance for wet insulation. Ask any roofer to walk you through their photographs; we bring ours and answer questions in writing.
