Request your free inspection
Molsbee Roofing replaces old roofs with standing seam metal in Riviera Beach, FL, starting with a free inspection of the deck and framing and ending with a written price. Metal suits many of the block houses west of Broadway, built for shingle, because it is far lighter than tile, and its clips sit hidden under the seams instead of screws driven through the panel.
On the lagoon frontage and Singer Island, salt reaches the trim and fasteners first, so we choose them for the exposure and fasten the roof to the wind band for your side of the water: 160 mph on the mainland, 170 mph on the island and the port frontage. The Molsbee family has roofed Palm Beach County from Lake Worth Beach since 1975 as Florida Certified Roofing Contractor CCC1327429, and (561) 318-8624 is answered 24 hours a day.
West of the lagoon the typical house dates to the late seventies and was framed for shingle. A standing seam roof weighs a fraction of what tile weighs, so on those houses metal is the realistic step up from shingle without structural work first.
We still look at the framing wherever the attic allows and write down what we saw, so the choice rests on your house.
Exposed-fastener panels are screwed through the metal into the deck, and every screw is a hole sealed by a rubber washer that ages in the sun. Standing seam panels are held by clips under the raised seams, so nothing pierces the face and the panels can move with the heat.
We keep screw-down panels to sheds and carports.
Salt off Lake Worth Lagoon wears flashing and edge metal before it touches the panels. On the lagoon frontage and Singer Island we specify the edge metal, valley metal and fastener alloy for the exposure and name each one on the written price.
Ordinary trim and plain steel fasteners are where an older coastal metal roof starts to fail.
The old covering and any hidden layer come off to the deck, which is re-nailed for your wind band before a self-adhered secondary water barrier is sealed over it. Then new trim, flashing and the panels.

After the most recent major rain water began to drip from our ceiling. Preparing for the worst we called Molsbee roofing after seeing their crews replace a large house nearby. They actually had a crew here the next day, found a spot that needed repair, and fixed it before it got worse.Read on Google
We signed or completed a few roofing jobs with a Riviera Beach address over the last twelve months.
All service areas ↗We price metal after a free inspection, because the figure depends on the house: its size and shape, what comes off, the deck underneath and the trim the exposure calls for. Standing seam costs more to buy and to lay than architectural shingle.
Where you are weighing two coverings, we price both against the same measured roof, so the difference is on paper before you choose.
Yes, when the details are right. The panels rarely fail first; exposed screws, sealed rather than flashed trim, and ordinary fasteners in the salt air do.
Hidden clips take the screws out of the panel face, flashing replaces sealant at the trim, and fasteners picked for the salt outlast plain steel. All three are written into the scope for a Riviera Beach house.
Usually. Metal is far lighter than tile, so the frame gets an easier job.
The old covering comes off, the deck is inspected and repaired, and new underlayment and flashings go on before the panels. If your community has an association, ask whether it allows metal and in which colours before we price it.
