Request your free inspection
Roof repair in Royal Palm Beach mostly means tile on a house from around 1990, in Crestwood, La Mancha, Madison Green or along an attached villa row, where the underlayment tends to wear out before the tile shows it. A free inspection comes first, with photos of the findings and a written scope and price before work begins.
We repair concrete and clay barrel tile, shingle where the association allows it, the flat roofs over lanais and garages, and metal roofs across the village's canal grid. Molsbee Roofing has served Palm Beach County since 1975 from our shop in Lake Worth Beach, under Florida license CCC1327429.

On a Royal Palm Beach tile roof from around 1990 the tile usually looks fine while the felt under it does the aging. A cracked piece, a worn valley or a ridge with cracked mortar is a repair when the felt we lift beside it still bends without tearing.
When the felt splits wherever we lift, the choice moves to a re-roof: on clay barrel tile, resetting the same tile over new underlayment; on concrete tile, the village's usual roof, new tile over new underlayment. The scope prices the repair and the wider job on separate lines.
In an attached row every unit's roof reads as one line, so a repair has to match the neighbors' tile in profile and color, and the flashing over the shared wall has to keep water on its own side. Where one unit has been re-roofed and the next has not, the joint between new and old tile is the usual weak point.
We have repaired and re-roofed units on Fairways Lane one at a time, so we photograph the match and the tie-in on both sides and give the association the same pictures. Behind a gate in Madison Green or Saratoga, mention access when you book.
A lanai, garage or addition roofed after the tile went on sits below a slope that sheds straight onto it, and it leaks where the run-off meets a wall flashing set too low. We carry the membrane up the wall and relay the tile above over new flashing.
On the detached shingle houses some associations allow, the repair replaces lifted courses and boots, fastened for the village's 160 mph band. Exposed-fastener metal on a shed or carport is refastened at the screws and trim.
The village has been a Tree City USA since 1990, so we clear leaf litter from valleys and drains on every repair.
From the roof we see the tile, the ridge and hip mortar, the valleys, pipe boots and wall flashings; from the attic, stains on the plywood, rusted nail points and the roof-to-wall straps. The felt under tile we have not lifted, the face of the deck beneath it and the nailing stay hidden until the section is opened, and a low attic limits the view further.
The scope lists what we saw and what we could not. Anything found once the section is open is photographed and priced as its own line before it is covered.
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.
All service areas ↗A repair, when the felt around the cracked pieces is still sound and the water has one way in. The quarter-roof rule considers how much of a roof system or section is repaired, replaced or recovered in any 12-month period.
Above a quarter, the roof covering across that entire system or section generally must be replaced or recovered 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.
We measure the damaged area against its roof section and check the permit record with the village before we price, then put both options in writing next to the photographs.
As a rule, a small repair does not and a larger one does. When a permit applies, we file it with the Building Department at 1050 Royal Palm Beach Boulevard through ProjectDox, where a Contractor Data Sheet stands in for the paper application.
The village publishes a residential review time of 7 to 10 business days, a permit stays valid for 180 days, and inspections are booked on the automated line with the inspector's window given by phone that morning. Behind a gate, a repair that changes tile or color needs the association's letter before the village filing.
A Royal Palm Beach postal address can reach outside village limits, so we confirm the parcel first.
Finding where it gets in. While a leak is active, tracing the entry point takes priority over any other repair, and our Royal Palm Beach roof leak repair page walks through how it is done.
The number to call is 561-318-8624, answered 24 hours a day. The first visit covers the failed spot and photographs it; on a villa that can mean checking your side of the party wall and the neighbor's tie-in.
Everything else the inspection finds is written up separately, for you to approve later.
We identify the profile and color at the inspection and look for matching tile before the scope is written. If the original is no longer made, we source the closest match and show you, and on a villa row the association, a sample before anything is ordered.
Sound pieces lifted during the repair go back on the roof, so only the broken ones are new. Our crews wear protective, safe footwear on tile to keep breakage down.
You get the inspection photographs and a written scope with the price before work, then photographs of the finished repair, the village permit record and its inspection results when a permit was needed, and the manufacturers' product warranties in writing. A roof certification letter for your insurer is available on request.
