Lifetime Workmanship WarrantyMolsbee Roofing gives free roof inspections in Royal Palm Beach: a roofer lifts tile to read the underlayment, goes into the attic and, on an attached villa, checks the shared wall with the unit next door. You get labelled photographs, a plain verdict of nothing, repair, reset or replace, and a written price only if there is work to do.
We come out from our shop in Lake Worth Beach, look up the address on the village permit portal, and write the report so you can hand it to your association or your buyer. Florida Certified Roofing Contractor CCC1327429; (561) 318-8624 is answered 24 hours a day.
On a Royal Palm Beach tile roof the felt under the tile wears out first, often while the tile still looks fine from the street. We lift tile at a valley, along a wall, at an eave and around any chimney, and check whether the felt beneath is still flexible or tears in the hand.
We count cracked and slipped pieces, check the ridge and hip mortar, and look at every pipe boot. This far inland there is no salt air, so the flashing metal usually holds and most of our time goes to the felt.
From inside we look for dark rings on the plywood, rusted nail points and daylight where there should be none, each a sign of water the ceiling has not shown yet. We also note the roof-to-wall straps, because the code asks for those connections to be brought up to standard when a roof of this age is replaced, and that work belongs in any written price.
On a Crestwood or Madison Green house with a low attic, we photograph what we can reach and say plainly what we could not see.
The felt decides which of the four goes on the report. Sound underlayment with a single entry point is a repair.
Felt that tears wherever we lift a piece means a detach-and-reset only on clay barrel tile, where the same tile is reset over new underlayment; on concrete tile it means new tile over new underlayment. Tile broken across the field is a replacement.
Each verdict is backed by the photographs that led to it, so you can follow our reasoning before any price is on the table.
On an attached row such as Fairways Lane, where units are re-roofed one at a time, the flashing where a new roof meets an old one at the party wall is where leaks start on either side. We check that junction from your side, photograph the tile match, and write down whether the water is coming through your roof, the neighbour's tie-in or neither.
The report carries dated photographs and names the tile profile and colour, which is what an association reads before it decides who repairs the junction.
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.

We signed or completed about a dozen roofing jobs with a Royal Palm Beach address over the last twelve months.
No charge for the visit or the report; a repair, a relay or a replacement is priced separately and in writing once you have seen the photographs.

Nothing. A Molsbee roofer comes out from Lake Worth Beach, lifts tile, goes into the attic, checks the party wall on a villa, photographs what we find and writes it up, and there is no bill for the visit or the report.
Some inspections are sold as a service of their own; ours is free because it is how we decide, with you, whether the roof needs anything at all. When it does, you see the photographs first and the price arrives in writing afterwards.
It matters on any large repair. If repairs, replacements or roof recovering cover more than a quarter of a roof system or section in any 12-month period, the code generally requires replacing or recovering the roof covering across that entire system or section to meet current code requirements.
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 worked on must meet applicable current code requirements. Our inspection helps determine which applies to your roof.
Our report says which applies to your roof.
Yes, and the photographs show it. After a blow we look for tile that has lifted or slipped, cracked ridge and hip mortar, bent flashing and debris that has broken pieces in the field.
In the attic we check for fresh stains that were not there before. The report separates new damage from wear that was already under way, because a roof with worn felt and one cracked tile needs different work from a roof that took a direct hit, and the written price follows that difference.
Yes, and book it early in your inspection period. We check the tile, underlayment, attic deck and roof-to-wall straps, and we look the address up on the village permit portal so you know when the roof was last permitted.
Ask the seller for any roof records and we will review them against what we see. If the house is part of an attached row, we also look at the tie-in with the units either side.
The report and any written price are yours to use when you negotiate.
Book one when a ceiling stain appears, after a storm has passed over the village, before you buy or sell, and when the villa next door has just been re-roofed and the junction at your shared wall is new. It is also worth a look once a roof reaches the age of the houses around it, because on a tile roof the felt can fail years before the tile shows it.
If nothing needs doing, the report says so in writing.
