Tequesta · Shingle roof replacement
We replace shingle roofs across Tequesta: a full tear-off to the deck, a new secondary water barrier, shingles fastened to Florida's code, and edge and valley metal graded for how close the house sits to the Loxahatchee. A free inspection comes first, and the written price names the shingle, the underlayment and every piece of metal.
Shade from the old trees around Tequesta Country Club keeps asphalt cooler and lets shingles age slowly, but it fills valleys with leaves that rot the metal first; on the open river lots of Country Club Point, salt does the same job from the other side. Molsbee Roofing is a GAF Certified Contractor and Owens Corning Preferred, family-owned since 1975, licence CCC1327429, with 561-318-8624 answered at any hour.

Before the work starts
Before a shingle reroof in Tequesta
Tear-off on a 1970s Tequesta house
The median Tequesta home dates to 1977, so most shingle roofs here sit on decks that have been through two or more coverings. We strip to the plywood, replace any sheet that has gone soft around valleys and chimneys, and renail the deck where the old fastening is weak.
That work is a named allowance on the quote, and you see photographs of what we replaced before the new roof goes on.
Nails, drip edge and valleys graded by street
Florida's code calls for at least four corrosion-resistant nails per strip shingle, and on the river streets of Riverside Oaks and Country Club Point we go further on the metal. The drip edge, rake trim, valley metal and fastener grade are chosen for the exposure your address has, and each is named on the quote.
A price identical to an inland one has usually assumed inland metal.
GAF or Owens Corning, with two warranties
We install GAF and Owens Corning shingle systems, and the choice between them comes down to the look, the colour range and the system warranty you want. The manufacturer's warranty covers the materials; our lifetime workmanship warranty covers the installation.
Both are handed to you in writing when the job is finished, so you know which party stands behind which part of the roof.
Filing a Tequesta shingle re-roof with the Village
Applications go to the Village of Tequesta through BS&A Online, by email or in person, and the Village publishes roofing submittal requirements, so an incomplete package comes back rather than being waved through. We file the product approvals, the fastening schedule and the drawings together, book the inspections, and write any roof-to-wall strengthening the code triggers into the scope before the old roof comes off.

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.

Molsbee Roofing was amazing. I called needing a roof leak repaired. They were able to get a crew out the next day. Very professional. Everyone had Molsbee shirts on, Molsbee trucks. They took before pictures, pictures of the wood, pictures of every step of the repair. I will be doing my new roof with Molsbee Roofing.Read on Google

Shingle roof replacement questions in Tequesta
How much does a new shingle roof cost in Tequesta?
Shingle is a common covering for a full re-roof, and on a house back from the river it tends to fall in the lower half of our county-wide range, shown on our roof replacement cost page. The price for your roof follows its size and pitch, how much deck needs replacing after tear-off, and the grade of metal the address calls for.
The free inspection gives you that figure in writing, and financing is available on approved credit.
What changed in Florida's roof law for Tequesta homeowners?
The quarter-roof rule softened. 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.
We check the permit record before we recommend anything.
Can new shingles go over my old Tequesta roof?
We would rather not, and often the code does not allow it anyway. A second layer hides the deck and the edge metal, which is exactly what you need to see on a roof that has sat shaded and damp or taken salt for years.
We strip it, look at what is there, replace what has gone soft and build it back over the self-adhered secondary water barrier we specify.
Do the trees in Tequesta help or hurt a shingle roof?
Both. Shade keeps the asphalt cooler, so the shingles themselves age slowly, but leaf litter packs into valleys and behind chimneys and holds moisture against the metal for months.
On a shaded roof near Tequesta Country Club the covering is often fine while a valley is finished, which is a repair rather than a replacement if it is caught early. We photograph the valleys and chimney backs first for that reason.
How do I get a shingle roof estimate in Tequesta?
Book the free inspection online or call 561-318-8624 at any hour. A roofer walks each elevation, reads the covering, clears and photographs the valleys and chimney backs, and checks the edge metal against the exposure your address has.
You receive a written scope in lines: tear-off, deck repair allowance, secondary water barrier, self-adhered underlayment, the shingle by name, edge and valley metal with grades stated, permit and inspections, and cleanup.
