Had Molsbee roofing do a patch on my roof. It was a very reasonable price, and they didn't try to oversell me. I'll absolutely use them when I'm ready to replace my roof.Read on Google

Tequesta · Roof inspection
A Molsbee roof inspection in Tequesta is free: a roofer walks the roof, clears and photographs the valleys, opens the covering where it will tell us something, and hands you a written report of what needs doing now and what can wait. It stays free whether or not it leads to work, and the report is yours to keep or to show another roofer.
Where the house sits sets the focus: on the river lots of Country Club Point we read how far salt has reached the flashings and edge metal, and under the canopy near Tequesta Country Club we look closely at what leaf litter has done to the valleys. If you are buying or selling a house in the village, the same visit tells you whether the roof has years left or is due, and which parts are the reason.
We have inspected roofs across this county since 1975 as a family business, three generations deep, licence CCC1327429.

Before the work starts
What we inspect in Tequesta
Clearing the valleys before judging them
On a shaded Tequesta roof you cannot assess a valley buried in leaves. We clear the valleys and the pockets behind chimneys during the inspection and photograph the metal underneath, because that is where the evidence sits.
Often the metal is fine and the roof simply needs clearing more often, which is a good result for a free visit. When it has thinned or rusted through, the photograph shows you before the report prices it.
Reading the exposure from Riverside Oaks to Cypress Ridge
A house on Riverside Oaks and one a few streets back in Cypress Ridge do not face the same air. Salt off the river and the inlet reaches part of this village and not the rest, and it decides how fast flashings, collars and valley metal wear.
The report states which exposure we judged your address to have and which metal grade we would specify for it, so you can hold any other quote against that.
Openings at a valley, a penetration and the weather side
We lift tile or open the covering at a few points chosen for what they reveal: a valley, the flashing beside a penetration, and the elevation that takes the weather off the water. At each one we photograph the underlayment, the fastening and the deck, then set everything back as it was.
Those openings are what turn a report from a description of the roof's colour into a reading of its condition.
A report a Tequesta buyer or seller can use
The report holds photographs of the perimeter, valleys, chimney backs, every penetration and any flat section, plus what we found under each opening. Then a plain list: what needs doing now, what to watch, and what each costs.
For a house changing hands we also measure any damaged area against the quarter-roof line and note the last re-roof permit, since a roof that has been replaced once may be younger than a 1977 house suggests.

Permits and code
Permits in Tequesta
For work in Tequesta, confirm requirements with the building department responsible for the property and complete any required historic or HOA review before ordering materials or beginning work.
Tequesta and Jupiter Inlet Colony are two small permit desks that run differently. The Village of Tequesta files through BS&A Online from its Building Department at 345 Tequesta Drive, with fees set by job value. Jupiter Inlet Colony uses My Government Online, books inspections by 5 pm for the next day, and sends major renovations to its Building and Zoning Committee before a permit application is made.
Both sit in the 170 mph band and the wind-borne debris region. The village says certain low-lying neighbourhoods are subject to considerable flood damage and publishes its own flood map with live Loxahatchee River tide gauges. Tequesta's median home dates to 1977; the Colony's dates to 1989. In both towns our re-roofs carry a self-adhered secondary water barrier over the deck.
Local conditionsBuilt for Tequesta
- River, inlet and Intracoastal
- Tequesta sits where the Loxahatchee River meets the Intracoastal at Jupiter Inlet, and part of the village is on Jupiter Island in Martin County. Salt and tide reach the low streets first.
- Homes around the Country Club
- The village grew around Tequesta Country Club in the 1950s, and the median home dates to 1977. Roofs of that age get a deck and fastening inspection before the covering is chosen.
- The Colony's fifth of a square mile
- Jupiter Inlet Colony, platted in 1958 on the southern tip of Jupiter Island, is 0.2 square miles of barrier island near Coral Cove Park. Its committee sees the roof before the town does.

Roof inspection questions in Tequesta
How much does a roof inspection cost in Tequesta?
Ours costs nothing, and it stays free whether the roof needs work or not. A roofer clears and photographs the debris points, opens the covering at chosen spots, checks every penetration and gives you the pictures with a written report.
There is no invoice for a visit that finds the roof sound, and no pressure to book work when it finds something. Other inspection services may charge; ask what the fee covers and whether anyone actually goes onto the roof.
What does a Tequesta roof inspection include?
The perimeter and edge metal, every valley and the back of every chimney after clearing, each vent collar and wall flashing, any flat lanai or carport section and its drains, and the deck wherever it can be read from an opening or the attic. On a river address we also judge how far salt has reached the metal.
You get photographs of all of it, a note of the exposure we assumed, and a written list of what needs doing and what each item costs.
Will an inspection tell me if my Tequesta roof falls under the quarter-roof rule?
Yes. 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.
At the inspection we measure how much of the roof the damage covers and look for the last re-roof permit, so the report says plainly which side of that line your roof falls on.
How often should a roof in Tequesta be inspected?
Once a year at least, and more often under heavy tree cover, because shaded valleys fill on their own timetable. River-side roofs are worth a look after any strong blow off the inlet as well.
Book one before buying or selling a house, and whenever a stain appears on a ceiling, however faint, since a faint stain is usually an old leak. Between inspections, a quick look at the valleys from the ground tells you when leaves are building up.
What should I ask another roofer inspecting my Tequesta house?
Ask which exposure they assumed for your address and which metal grade follows from it, and ask to see photographs of every valley and chimney back rather than a sentence about them. Ask whether they opened the covering anywhere and what they found.
In this village those answers separate a considered assessment from a look from the driveway, and they explain most of the gap between two quotes.
