Tequesta · Roof maintenance
Roof maintenance in Tequesta means clearing what the trees drop into the valleys, checking the metal that salt off the Loxahatchee wears first, and photographing both so the next visit can compare. It starts with a free inspection, and any work we recommend comes with a written price before anyone lifts a tool.
Around Tequesta Country Club the job is mostly debris; on the river streets it is mostly metal. We have kept Palm Beach County roofs in order since 1975, three generations of one family, licensed as Florida Certified Roofing Contractor CCC1327429.

Before the work starts
Keeping a Tequesta roof in shape
Valleys under the Tequesta Country Club canopy
Under the old trees around the Country Club, valleys and the pockets behind chimneys fill with leaves on their own schedule. Packed litter holds water against the metal, so we clear it, then photograph the valley underneath, because clearing and repair are different jobs.
If the metal is sound, the visit ends with a clean valley and a picture to compare next time. If it has started to go, you get a separate written price for the repair.
Metal checks on the Riverside Oaks side
On Riverside Oaks and Country Club Point, salt air works on the collars around vents, the wall and chimney flashings, the drip edge and any exposed fastener. We check each one, reseal or replace what has started to fail, and photograph the same spots every visit so a change shows up as a change.
A collar caught early is a small job; the same collar left for a few seasons is a leak into the ceiling.
A roof record that starts with the permit
The median Tequesta home dates to 1977, so most houses are on a second or third roof, and the house's age says little about the roof's. We ask for the last re-roof permit, which the Village building department on Tequesta Drive can confirm, and note any addition or lanai roof that may be younger or older than the rest.
Each visit adds photographs and notes to that record, so nobody mistakes an old repair for a new fault.
Where upkeep stops and a repair starts
Clearing, resealing and replacing a loose collar are upkeep. Opening the covering, replacing underlayment or rebuilding a valley is repair, and it is priced separately so you can decide.
A maintenance visit sees the surface, the metal and the attic where there is access; it cannot see the underlayment under tile or shingle it has not lifted, and the notes say so. Permitted repairs go to the Village through BS&A Online; in Jupiter Inlet Colony its own building department handles them.
We confirm the parcel first.

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.

I recently was in the market for a new roof. After many interviews with various roof companies. I revisited my first choice - Molsbee Roofing mainly due to Merrick. Merrick took time to explain thoroughly the process and stood by everything he promised. Nicole's customer service was also exceptional!Read on Google

Roof maintenance questions in Tequesta
When is the right time of year to maintain a roof in Tequesta?
Before storm season, so the valleys are clear and any loose metal is fixed before the wind tests it, and again after the main leaf drop if the house sits under trees. Near the Country Club a shaded roof can need its valleys cleared more than once a year.
On the river side, add a look after any strong blow off the inlet, since that is when salt-worn flashings tend to lift. Any fresh ceiling stain is a reason to call, whatever the calendar says.
How long does a roof last in Tequesta?
It depends on the covering and the exposure more than on the calendar. In this village the covering often outlasts the metal around it: tile and standing seam can look sound for years after a valley or collar has worn through, and shade under the canopy lets shingle age slowly while leaves rot the flashings.
On the river streets salt shortens the life of that metal. Regular upkeep extends a roof by catching those parts early, before they let water into the deck.
What does a roof maintenance visit cost in Tequesta?
The inspection that starts it is free. After a roofer has cleared the valleys and checked the metal, you get the photographs and a written price for anything worth doing, whether that is clearing on a schedule, resealing collars or a small flashing repair.
Nothing is added after the fact, and if the roof only needs clearing, that is what the price covers. You decide what goes ahead once you have seen the pictures.
Can I clear the valleys on my Tequesta roof myself?
We would rather you did not go up. Tile cracks underfoot, shingle scuffs in the heat, wet leaves make any slope slippery, and clearing a valley does not tell you whether the metal under the leaves is still sound.
From the ground you can watch for leaves piling in the valleys and any fresh ceiling stain, and call us when you see either. A roofer clears the valley, photographs the metal underneath and adds it to your roof record, and any repair it needs comes with a written price.
What should I keep on file between roof visits in Tequesta?
Keep the last re-roof permit, the names of the materials on the roof, photographs from earlier repairs and a note of any stain or drip with its date and room. We add our own photographs and findings after each visit.
With that record, a later visit compares the same collar or valley against its last picture, and a buyer or a future roofer can see what was done to the roof and when.
