Storm damage roof repair on Singer Island
A barrier island takes weather with nothing in front of it, and in 33404 that weather hits three different kinds of building at once. On the oceanfront the towers take wind that is stronger and steadier several storeys up than it is at street level, and it works at a large deck the way water works at a dam: constantly, at the weakest point, which is the perimeter rather than the field.

Singer Island / Riviera Beach · Storm damage roof repair
Roofing in Singer Island / Riviera Beach since 1975.
A barrier island takes weather with nothing in front of it, and in 33404 that weather hits three different kinds of building at once. On the oceanfront the towers take wind that is stronger and steadier several storeys up than it is at street level, and it works at a large deck the way water works at a dam: constantly, at the weakest point, which is the perimeter rather than the field.
On the single-family streets it lifts covering at rakes, ridges and eaves, almost always where salt had already thinned the fixings. On the mainland side, marina and workshop buildings lose sections of covering around penetrations and take damage from whatever the wind picked up on the water.
Access is the other island reality. Bridges and a limited number of routes mean the day or two after serious weather can be genuinely slow, and any contractor promising a specific arrival time during that window is guessing.
We would rather tell you honestly where you sit. The sequence itself does not change for any building.
Secure whatever is loose, because at height and on the water anything unsecured becomes the next problem. Stop the water with a tarp anchored to points that will hold in the next squall.
Let the timber or the assembly dry. Repair last, onto dry material.
Before we get to you, photograph what can be seen safely from the ground and from any accessible common area, and do it before anything is cleared away. On a building, note which units have reported water, because on a large deck the entry point and the damage are rarely in the same place and that list is genuinely useful to whoever surveys the roof.

Good to know
What to know.
- Perimeter first on a large deck
Wind at height gets under a covering at the edge or at an upstand, not in the middle, and from there it can lift a substantial area quickly. So after a blow the whole perimeter and every upstand is inspected, including the parts that appear undamaged, because a partially lifted termination is a failure waiting for the next storm. That is also why mechanically fixed terminations matter so much more on a tall building than on a house.
- On a house, the fixings decided it
Covering comes away on this island because the fixing holding it had been corroding in salt air from two directions, not because the tile was weak. The fasteners across the rest of that slope are the same age with the same exposure, so checking the neighbouring rows and the valley metal comes before quoting. Where they are sound we say so and price a small repair; where they are not, the photographs show why the work is larger.
- Secure the loose before it moves
On the water and at height, anything unsecured becomes a hazard and a source of further damage: panels, covers, equipment housings, and whatever another trade left behind. Those are secured at the same time the water is stopped, because leaving them means the next gust causes a second round of damage to the covering and sometimes beyond the property boundary. It is the first thing done on arrival, before anything else.
- Honest timing, and why the wait matters
After county-wide weather the island can be slow to reach and everybody calls at once, so we sequence by how fast water is entering a building and tell you where that leaves you. Then the drying wait: a tarp holds off the next shower so wet material can give the water back, which it cannot do beneath a finished covering, and on a flat assembly wet insulation does not dry at all. Compressing that produces work that fails a year later out of sight.

Most storm repairs are a short visit: tiles reset, caps re-bedded, a boot or a run of flashing replaced. A roof the wind opened across a whole slope is a different job, and the photos say which.

Roofing questions
Frequently asked questions.
Who repairs storm damage on Singer Island, FL?
Molsbee Roofing. A family business since 1975, based in Lake Worth Beach, licensed CCC1327429, working Palm Beach County from Jupiter to Boca Raton. We cover 33404: oceanfront condominium decks, the single-family streets at Palm Beach Isles, Yacht Harbor Manor and Pine Point, and marina and commercial buildings on the mainland side. Somebody answers overnight. Tarp first, photographs, then the lasting repair once things are dry. Call 561-318-8624.
Part of our building's covering lifted. Is the rest at risk?
Very possibly, and it is the right question. Wind at height gets under a covering at a perimeter or an upstand and works along it, so a lifted section usually means the terminations either side have been loaded hard even where they have not yet let go. After a blow we inspect the entire perimeter and every upstand rather than only the failed area, and the photographs show which are sound and which are partially compromised.
Only a few tiles came off my house. Small job?
On this island, check before assuming. Covering comes away because the fixings holding it had corroded in salt air reaching the roof from two directions, and the fasteners across the rest of that slope have had identical exposure for identical time. The honest first step is examining the neighbouring rows and the valley metal rather than refilling the gap. If they are sound it is a genuinely small repair and we will price it as one.
How quickly can you get to the island after a storm?
We will give you an honest answer rather than a comfortable one. Bridges and limited routes mean the day or two after serious weather can be slow, and emergencies are sequenced by how fast water is entering a building rather than by who rang first. We tell you where that leaves you and keep you updated as access opens up. A position you can rely on is worth more than a slot that passes while a ceiling is open.
Why does the permanent repair have to wait?
Because material closed over something wet seals the problem in. On a pitched roof the timber needs days to give back the water it took on, and on a flat assembly the insulation will not dry on its own at all, which sometimes means removing more than the visible damage suggests. Skipping that produces a repair that fails the following season with the fault neatly hidden, and the photographs show a board or an owner exactly why the scope is what it is.
