Lifetime Workmanship WarrantyA roof replacement in Tequesta is priced from your own roof, and the free inspection gives you that figure in writing; we have not signed a re-roof with a Tequesta address in the past year, so we will not print a village number, and we give you our county figures instead. Full residential re-roofs across Palm Beach County cost between about $8,000 and $48,000 over the last twelve months, and the middle of the pack was just under $20,000.
Where a Tequesta house lands in that spread depends on the covering, the size, how much deck turns out soft and how close the house sits to the Loxahatchee, where edge and valley metal go on in a salt grade near Riverside Oaks and Country Club Point; the 2023 Florida Building Code, 8th Edition, also sets secondary water barrier requirements on re-roofs, with more than one compliant method, and can call for roof-to-wall strengthening. Molsbee Roofing was founded by Don Molsbee in 1975 and is still family-run: license CCC1327429, GAF Certified Contractor and Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, and 561-318-8624 is answered at any hour.
We have signed no Tequesta re-roof in the past year, so the range here is our county sample. What is local is the paperwork.
The Village files through BS&A Online from its Building Department on Tequesta Drive, and the fee is set by job value, so it rises with the roof. Jupiter Inlet Colony is its own desk on My Government Online, and a major renovation goes to its Building and Zoning Committee before the application.
Low-lying streets near the river sit on the Village flood map, so we check the parcel before we price.
Salt reaches further up the Loxahatchee than most people expect, so a house on Country Club Point and one back in Cypress Ridge can need different metal under the same covering. On the water the drip edge, valley metal, flashings and fastener alloy go up a grade, and that shows on our quote as named lines.
When two estimates differ and both look complete, this is usually where the difference is hiding.
The Village works to the 2023 Florida Building Code, 8th Edition. It sets secondary water barrier requirements on re-roofs and allows more than one method; we specify a self-adhered barrier over the deck.
In the right circumstances the roof-to-wall connections must be strengthened at the same time. Neither is an upgrade or an option, so both should appear on the first estimate you see rather than as a change order once the old roof is off.
Plenty of what goes wrong on a shaded Tequesta roof is local and repairable. Most repairs we signed across Palm Beach County last year cost between about $1,500 and $4,800, with the middle around $1,800.
A chimney flashing or a collar sits at the low end, a rebuilt valley in the middle; underlayment replaced under tile sits at the high end, and on sound clay barrel tile that means detach-and-reset: lifting the tile, replacing the underlayment and resetting the same tile.
In Tequesta the permit through BS&A Online, the wind band and what the tear-off reveals are the three things that move a roof price, so they come first in any quote.
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.
Merrick and the Molsbee Roofing team have consistently exceeded my expectations. They've been there for me multiple times, even stepping in on short notice without hesitation. Their responsiveness and dedication to answering all of my questions provides peace of mind.Read on Google
After the most recent major rain water began to drip from our ceiling. Preparing for the worst we called Molsbee roofing after seeing their crews replace a large house nearby. They actually had a crew here the next day, found a spot that needed repair, and fixed it before it got worse.Read on Google
Across Palm Beach County our full re-roofs ran between about $8,000 and $48,000 last year with the middle near $19,800; we have signed no Tequesta re-roof to quote from.

We have not re-roofed a Tequesta house yet, so we will not print a village figure. Across Palm Beach County our full residential re-roofs ran between about $8,000 and $48,000 last year, with half of them under $20,000.
A shingle roof on a house back from the river usually falls in the lower half of that spread; a large tile roof on a riverfront lot sits well above the middle. The free inspection puts a written figure on your own roof.
Size is the first thing that moves the price, but not the only one. A small house on a riverfront lot can cost more than a larger one inland, because salt exposure raises the grade of every flashing and fastener, and a steep or cut-up roof takes more labour than a simple one.
We measure each plane on the roof itself rather than from a picture, check how much deck is soft, and price the metal for the address. Many Tequesta houses around the Country Club date from the seventies, so the deck and its fastening are checked before the covering is chosen.
No honest roofer can promise that. What is free from us is the inspection and the written price.
The state's My Safe Florida Home program offers a free wind-mitigation inspection and grants toward roof-to-wall connections, deck attachment, the secondary water barrier and the roof covering for eligible homesteaded, site-built houses; read its current terms before you plan around it. We also offer financing on approved credit, which spreads the cost rather than removing it.
Usually because one roofer specified the metal for the water and the other quoted an inland roof. After that, look at the deck repair allowance, whether the secondary water barrier is written in, and whether roof-to-wall strengthening appears where the code calls for it.
A quote that leaves those out is not lower, it is incomplete, and the gap arrives as a change order. Compare the named lines, not the totals.
Ring 561-318-8624 or request the free inspection online. A roofer reads the address and its exposure, clears and photographs the valleys and chimney backs, opens the covering at chosen points and checks the deck.
You receive a written scope in lines: tear-off or lift, deck repair allowance, secondary water barrier, underlayment, the covering, flashing and metal with grades named, permit and inspections through the Village, and cleanup. The written scope also names our lifetime workmanship warranty and the manufacturers' product warranties, and when your insurer asks for a roof certification letter after the re-roof, we provide one.
