Royal Palm Beach · Metal roof replacement
Molsbee Roofing replaces older tile and shingle roofs with standing seam metal in Royal Palm Beach, and the first steps are a free roof inspection and a call to your association. Some associations allow metal on a detached house in Crestwood, La Mancha or Madison Green in approved colours, while an attached villa row reads as a single roof and usually keeps its tile, so we settle that before anything is priced.
A Molsbee roofer then checks the deck, files the village's roof spec sheet and hands you a written price for metal next to tile. We work from our shop in Lake Worth Beach as Florida Certified Roofing Contractor CCC1327429, and (561) 318-8624 is answered 24 hours a day.

Before the work starts
Before a metal reroof in Royal Palm Beach
From the association letter to the village permit
Tile is the roof you see along Crestwood Boulevard and through La Mancha, and the association rules are written around it. We ask the association before we quote, and if metal is allowed we prepare the submittal with a panel sample, the colour and the product approval.
Once it is approved, the Village of Royal Palm Beach issues the permit through ProjectDox, with its roof spec sheet recording the panel, the underlayment and the fastening.
Why a 1990 tile roof becomes a metal conversation
The typical Royal Palm Beach home dates to 1990, and on a tile roof that age the underlayment usually gives out before the tile does. A large repair can grow into a re-roof conversation, and at that point some owners choose standing seam: a single layer from eave to ridge, a fraction of the weight of tile, and nothing to lift and relay later.
Standing seam, screw-down panels, and the weak points
Standing seam joins long panels at raised seams over hidden clips, so nothing pierces the face; that is the metal for a house. Exposed-fastener panels are screwed through the face and suit a shed, a carport or a lanai, where the washer under each screw ages in the sun and becomes the usual leak point.
On either system the trouble spots are the trim at walls, valleys and pipes, so we flash them in metal over a re-nailed deck, fastened to the property's wind requirements.
What moves the price, and what is in writing
The price turns on the roof's size and shape, the panel profile, how much tile comes off and what the deck needs once it is exposed; a hip roof with valleys takes more cutting and trim than a simple gable. The install carries our lifetime workmanship warranty and the panels carry the manufacturer's warranty, both in writing.
Our Royal Palm Beach re-roofs in the last year include a row of units on Fairways Lane, Queens Lane in Crestwood and Bilbao Street in La Mancha; our records do not sort them by material, so we publish no metal count.
How it works in Royal Palm Beach
Free inspection, photographedA Molsbee roofer looks at the roof, the deck and the exposed edges, and puts the whole price in writing.
Panel, underlayment and connections namedThe proposal names the panel system, the underlayment, the edge metal and how the panels attach, so you compare a construction, not a colour.
Permit through ProjectDox portalWe file the roofing permit with the Village of Royal Palm Beach through its ProjectDox portal and keep the paperwork aligned with the approved design.
Tear-off, deck, underlayment, panelsRemoval can reveal deck damage; we record it and explain what remains concealed. Then underlayment, flashing and the panel system.

Permits and code
Permits in Royal Palm Beach
For work in Royal Palm 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.
Royal Palm Beach's Building Department at 1050 Royal Palm Beach Boulevard takes the roofing permit on ProjectDox, where a Contractor Data Sheet replaces the paper application. The village publishes its review time: 7 to 10 business days for residential, 15 to 30 for commercial, and a permit stays valid for 180 days.
Roofs carry two village forms, the Re-Roof Nailing Affidavit and the Roof Spec Sheet. Inspections are booked on the automated line with a three-digit code, and the inspector's arrival window is given by phone between 7:30 and 8:30 in the morning.
The village is about 15 miles inland, in the 160 mph wind band and the wind-borne debris region. Our covering replacements include a self-adhered secondary water barrier.
Local conditionsBuilt for Royal Palm Beach
- A canal grid from 1959
- The village was incorporated in 1959 on a canal grid dug for developer Arthur Desser's drainage project, 11.7 square miles between Southern Boulevard and Okeechobee Boulevard. Lot drainage and roof runoff are looked at together.
- Homes from 1990
- The typical Royal Palm Beach home dates to 1990, in neighbourhoods like Crestwood, La Mancha and Madison Green.
- Attached villas share a roof line
- In a villa row the neighbours' roofs set the timing and the tile match, so one unit at a time is normal. Tree City USA since 1990 also means shade and leaf litter sitting on the roof.

What homeowners say
★★★★★
I contacted Molsbee because a roof inspector from another company performing inspections on all the roofs in my HOA community commented that whatever company did my next door neighbor's roof is the company I should contact. Merrick's project management and Nicole's customer service left a positive impression throughout.Read on Google

Metal roof replacement questions in Royal Palm Beach
How much does a metal roof cost in Royal Palm Beach?
We cannot publish a metal-only figure, because our records do not sort roofs by material; the range above covers every full re-roof we did in the village. A standing seam roof here is priced on the house's size, its shape and what the deck needs after tear-off, so houses of similar size can land well apart.
After the free roof inspection you get the metal price next to a tile price, in writing, so the difference is on paper before you decide.
Does a metal roof cost more than shingle or tile?
Standing seam usually prices above shingle. Against a new tile roof the gap depends on the house, the tile profile and how much of the deck has to be replaced, so we price both on the same sheet rather than guess.
Screw-down panels come in below standing seam, but on a Royal Palm Beach house we keep them to the shed, the carport or the lanai, where the exposed screws matter less to the look of the street.
What goes wrong with metal roofs?
On a house the trouble comes from the details, not the panels. Exposed screws loosen and their washers age in the sun, trim at walls, valleys and pipes leaks when it is sealed instead of flashed, and long panels need room to move with the heat.
Standing seam on hidden clips answers the first and the last, and we flash every junction in metal. Royal Palm Beach sits well inland, so salt air is not the concern for metal here that it is on the coast.
Can the quarter-roof rule turn my repair into code work?
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 permit history with the village before we price a repair or a metal re-roof.
Will my association allow a metal roof on a tile street?
Some will and some will not, so ask before anyone prices a roof. Where metal is allowed it is typically standing seam on a detached house in an approved colour.
On an attached villa row the roofs read as a single line and the association decides for the whole row, so an owner rarely switches alone. We make the call with you, bring panel samples and the product approval if the answer is yes, and prepare the submittal for the board.
We are a GAF Certified Contractor and an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor.
