We had a wonderful experience with Molsbee Roofing replacing our flat roof. The team did a fantastic job, the new flat roof looks great! I also enjoyed working with Nicole and Merrick, they were very professional from start to finish. The roofers were hard-working and thorough.Read on Google

We file the village permit with its nailing affidavit and roof spec sheet, and our roofers come out from the shop in Lake Worth Beach. Florida Certified Roofing Contractor CCC1327429; call (561) 318-8624 and a person answers 24 hours a day.

Before a shingle reroof in Royal Palm Beach
Tear-off to the plywood, then a sealed deck
The old shingle and underlayment come off down to the plywood, and soft or delaminated sheets are cut out and replaced. We re-nail the deck, then lay a sealed, self-adhered secondary water barrier across it, which is how we build every shingle roof.
Drip edge goes on at the eaves and rakes, with new flashing at every wall and pipe. We photograph the bare deck before anything covers it, so the sheets we replaced are on record with you.
Nailed for the wind, and on file with the village
Royal Palm Beach sits well inland, but like every town in the county it is inside the wind-borne debris region, so a shingle roof here is fastened to the same coastal standard. Architectural shingle goes on with the high-wind nailing pattern, each nail driven through the deck and never short of it.
The village's re-roof nailing affidavit records that pattern, and the inspector holds us to it. We also check the roof-to-wall connections and put any required work in the written price.
Where shingle fits in a tile village
Tile covers most Royal Palm Beach streets, so shingle is usually a detached house on its own lot in Crestwood, La Mancha or Madison Green, where the house was built with it or the association allows it. On an attached row such as Fairways Lane, the shared roof line and the association's rules usually keep the whole row in one material.
We ask the association before we quote, so nobody pays for a price on a roof that cannot go on.
Switching between tile and shingle
A few owners of detached houses move from tile to shingle at re-roof time, because it costs less and weighs a fraction of tile, where the association allows it. Owners of shingle houses sometimes go the other way to match the street, which means checking the trusses before tile is priced.
Most keep what they have. On request we price both, so the choice is made on written figures rather than guesswork.
How it works in Royal Palm Beach

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.
- 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.

Shingle roof replacement questions in Royal Palm Beach
How much does a shingle roof replacement cost in Royal Palm Beach?
Our own signed Royal Palm Beach re-roofs from the last twelve months set the range above. It counts every roof type together, and the attached villas done one unit at a time pull its middle down.
Your shingle price depends on the roof's size and pitch, how many plywood sheets are soft, and any roof-to-wall work the code calls for. Soft plywood is the line that moves, so we photograph it before we price it, and the figure you sign is in writing.
My shingle roof is original to the house. Does it need replacing?
Age alone does not decide it; condition and the quarter-roof rule do. We look for shingles that have lifted, creased or shed their granules, soft spots in the deck and stains in the attic.
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. If the roof still has life in it, we say so and show you the photographs.
Do I need a permit to replace a shingle roof in Royal Palm Beach?
Yes. A re-roof inside the Village of Royal Palm Beach is permitted by the village Building Department through its ProjectDox portal, where a contractor data sheet replaces the old paper application.
The village also wants its re-roof nailing affidavit and roof spec sheet, and inspections are booked on its automated line. We confirm the parcel sits inside village limits, prepare and file every document, and meet the inspections as the roof goes on.
Will my association allow a shingle roof?
The association's current rules decide that, and they differ from one community to the next, so we ask before we quote. In a detached neighbourhood where some houses already have shingle, the submittal usually centres on the product and the colour.
If the answer is yes, we prepare the submittal with the sample and colour, and the village permit follows the association's letter. If the answer is no, we price tile or metal instead, so you still leave with a plan.
Can a state program help a Royal Palm Beach homeowner pay for a new roof?
The state's My Safe Florida Home program is the one homeowners usually mean. It offers eligible homesteaded, site-built houses built before 2008 a free wind-mitigation inspection and matching grants toward upgrades such as roof-to-wall connections, deck attachment, a secondary water barrier and the roof covering itself.
The state sets who qualifies and how to apply, so check its rules before you sign anything. Whatever you decide, our scope and price for your shingle roof are in writing.
