Tile roof replacement in Tequesta

Tequesta's tile roofs sit at the north end of Palm Beach County, where the Loxahatchee River widens toward the Jupiter Inlet, and the river is the first thing a roofer thinks about. Country Club Point, Riverside Oaks and Bayview Terrace sit on the water in 33469 with docks out back and salt in the air, and on those roofs the tile is never the problem; the galvanized valley liner, the drip edge and the nails under the hip and ridge caps rust to lace while the concrete or clay above them looks new. The Jupiter Inlet Beach Colony on the ocean side takes it harder still. Inland at Tequesta Pines, Cypress Ridge and Key West Village, the roofs are aging in the ordinary Florida way: felt under the tile that has spent decades in an attic and now cracks at every lap, so a street built together starts staining ceilings together. Molsbee Roofing has been a family business since 1975, based in Lake Worth Beach and working Palm Beach County, Jupiter to Boca Raton, and Tequesta is the northern end of that run. A tile re-roof here starts with the community: the Country Club neighborhoods and the Colony have architectural standards on profile, color and caps, and the Village of Tequesta permits the work after that approval. Then the roof: old tile stripped and sorted, with sound clay saved for hips and ridges; deck walked sheet by sheet and rot cut out; new self-adhered underlayment lapped and rolled; valleys lined in stainless or copper on the river and ocean streets; tile loaded and laid to the county's wind-code attachment; caps bedded and screwed with stainless; village inspections at dry-in and final. Free roof inspections: a roofer lifts tile at the suspect laps, photographs the felt, the deck and the metal, and hands you an itemized scope with the price.
