Riviera Beach, FL 33404
Request your free inspection
Roof replacement in Riviera Beach changes with the side of the lagoon you live on. West of the water, the typical house in 33404 dates to 1977 and gets a new roof built to the 160 mph mainland band; on Singer Island and the port frontage the band is 170 mph, and a condo association's engineer may set the design.
Either way we take the old covering off, check the deck, seal a self-adhered secondary water barrier and file with the City through its Permits and Zoning Portal. You get a free inspection and a written scope and price.
Molsbee Roofing has served Palm Beach County since 1975 from our shop in Lake Worth Beach, under Florida license CCC1327429.
A cracked pipe boot or a lifted wall flashing on a firm deck is a repair. A new roof is the honest answer when roof cement has been spread over patch after patch, when the deck has gone soft under them, or when an older layer was never removed and the covering above it is failing.
We read the City's permit record for the address and lift an edge where we can, so you see the evidence before choosing.
Most older block houses west of Broadway were built for shingle, and architectural shingle is the usual new roof on them. Tile belongs where the house was framed to carry it, and sound clay barrel tile can be detached and reset over new underlayment.
Standing seam metal is another option. On the lagoon frontage, whichever covering goes on gets edge metal and fasteners chosen for salt, and when you are weighing two coverings, the written scope sets both against the same measured roof.
The City issues re-roof permits from its Building Services Division through the Permits and Zoning Portal, and the fee follows the value of the job. The lobby is open Monday to Thursday 8 to 4 and on Friday mornings, and we book each inspection up to three business days ahead so tear-off and dry-in line up with it.
Riviera Beach has no historic district, so a standard re-roof does not go to a design board. The building official also acts as floodplain manager, which matters on lagoon lots.
The old covering and any hidden layer come off to the deck, and every sheet we replace is photographed against the allowance in your price. The deck is re-nailed to the schedule for your wind band, then the self-adhered water barrier is sealed over it.
New drip edge, valley metal and wall flashing go in, never the old pieces reused, before the covering is fastened. City inspections are booked through the portal in step with the work, and the site is cleaned before we leave.
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.

We signed or completed a few roofing jobs with a Riviera Beach address over the last twelve months.
All service areas ↗It is, on two counts. On a condo tower the association's engineer and the 170 mph uplift tables set the roof design, so we start with the manager and price to that specification.
In Palm Beach Shores, at the south tip of the island, the town issues its own permit, work runs Monday to Saturday and contractor vehicles must be off the island by 6 pm, so each day's tear-off is sized to be dried in before then. A mainland house is scoped with its owner from our own inspection.
Singer Island and the port frontage are in the 170 mph design wind band, and the mainland west of the lagoon is in the 160 mph band. The whole city sits inside the wind-borne debris region.
We read your parcel on the county map and name the band in the written scope, because it sets the nailing, the underlayment fastening and the edge metal.
On higher-value houses in the wind-borne debris region it can, because a new covering may bring a required upgrade to the straps tying the roof to the walls. The code caps that cost at a share of the re-roof price.
We check at the inspection and show it as its own line, so it does not surface for the first time when the permit is reviewed.
Before work: the inspection photographs and a written scope with the price, the deck allowance, the wind band and the covering by product. After work: the City permit record and inspection results, photographs of the finished roof and the manufacturers' product warranties in writing, with a roof certification letter for your insurer on request.
The figure comes in writing after your free inspection, and the Riviera Beach roof replacement cost page covers what drives it. If you would rather pay over time, financing is available on approved credit with flexible terms.
