Lifetime Workmanship WarrantyAfter a storm in Tequesta we make the roof watertight first, then photograph every opening and price the permanent repair in writing. The inspection is free, and those photographs and the written price are the record of what the storm did and what the repair covers.
The village sits in the county's coastal wind band and the wind-borne debris region, so on streets near Jupiter Inlet and the Loxahatchee we check corners, ridges and edges before anything else. Molsbee Roofing has answered storm calls across the county since 1975 as Florida Certified Roofing Contractor CCC1327429, a GAF Certified Contractor and an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, and the phone is answered 24 hours a day.
Wind load gathers at the corners, the ridge and the roof edges, so that is where storm damage starts on the river and inlet streets of Tequesta. We check each one for lifted or missing covering and loosened metal, then follow any opening into the material beside it, because a storm that moved one ridge cap has often loosened its neighbours.
Every opening is photographed and marked on the repair price.
Tile shifts at the caps or cracks where debris lands, which means checking the underlayment beneath it. Shingles lift, crease or tear off.
Metal panels move at seams and trim, and a flat lanai membrane can peel back at an edge or be punctured by a branch. We identify the system you have, record the damage in the terms that fit it, and set the repair boundary where the surrounding roof is sound.
The Village says certain low-lying neighbourhoods are subject to considerable flood damage, and it publishes a flood map with live Loxahatchee River tide gauges. After a storm, water inside a house near the river can come from the ground as easily as from the roof.
We trace wet ceilings and walls back to their source, so you pay for a roof repair only when the roof let the water in.
The first visit makes the roof watertight: a secured tarp or temporary seal over each opening, fastened to hold until the permanent work. Once the deck is dry we price the permanent repair in writing.
In the village it is permitted through BS&A Online; in Jupiter Inlet Colony it goes through My Government Online, with inspections booked by 5 pm for the next day. You see the sequence and the price before you approve.
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.
Molsbee Roofing is truly a company that functions with integrity. Merrick was very professional and made sure I was satisfied. Nicole was extremely helpful, pleasant and prompt in responding to questions / requests. Overall, the entire crew was outstanding.Read on Google
I recently had the pleasure of working with Molsbee Roofing for a roof replacement, and I am thoroughly impressed with the entire process. From the detailed initial estimate, where all available options were clearly explained, to the quality workmanship and thorough cleanup.Read on Google
Nearby in Jupiter, we signed or completed a handful of roofing jobs over the last twelve months.

Stay off the roof. From the ground, photograph any missing tile, shingle or metal and any branch lying on the roof, then move furniture and electronics away from drips and catch the water.
Call us and a roofer will come to dry the roof in with a secured tarp or temporary seal. Our photographs of every opening, and the written price for the permanent repair, then document the damage and the scope of the work.
Only if the damage is large. The quarter-roof rule considers how much of a roof system or section is repaired, replaced or recovered in any 12-month period.
Above a quarter, the roof covering across that entire system or section generally must be replaced or recovered 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.
We check which applies before we price. We measure the damaged area at the inspection and tell you in writing which side of that line your roof sits on.
Photograph it where it landed, from a safe spot, and tell us where it was found, without climbing up to look for the gap it left. Where a piece landed helps point the inspection toward the part of the roof it came from, but we still check the whole assembly and the details beside the opening.
Keep clear of loose pieces still hanging at the edges and of any damaged overhang.
It depends on the parcel. The Village of Tequesta permits through BS&A Online from its building department on Tequesta Drive.
Jupiter Inlet Colony shares the ZIP but has its own building department, and part of Tequesta crosses onto Jupiter Island in Martin County. We confirm the jurisdiction from the parcel before filing, so the permanent repair is not held up at the wrong desk.
Once the deck under the opening is dry and sound, and once the permit and any required inspections are in place. New material has to tie into sound existing roof, so we open the area far enough to reach good material, lap new underlayment under the old and replace flashing rather than seal it.
If the opening shows wet or damaged deck, we explain the added work and its price before we do it. The finished repair carries our lifetime workmanship warranty, and we provide a roof certification letter for your insurer when you ask.
