Lifetime Workmanship WarrantyMetal in Wellington means a different roof depending on the property. On the equestrian properties it is the barn: a wide, simple roof where an exposed-fastener panel earns its keep.
Behind the gates of Olympia, Versailles and Binks Forest it is a standing seam roof on a house that was built with tile, and there the association's rules decide before the roofer does. Wellington is inland, with no salt in the air, so the metal is chosen for the look and the wind rather than for corrosion.
Molsbee Roofing installs both from our shop in Lake Worth Beach, a short drive east. A Molsbee roofer asks the association first, checks the deck and the straps, and gives you a written price for metal next to tile.

Metal comes up on Wellington properties for different reasons. On an equestrian parcel it is the barn: a long, low roof where an exposed-fastener panel screwed to purlins goes on fast, sheds rain and can be walked for repairs.
Behind the gates of Olympia, Versailles or Binks Forest it is a standing seam roof replacing concrete tile, chosen by owners who want a single panel run from eave to ridge instead of another tile-and-underlayment cycle. Since the Milton tornado there is a newer reason: owners who watched tile leave the roof want a covering with no loose pieces to lift.
Many Wellington associations keep a colour palette and a list of what may go on a roof, so the association's letter is the first document we chase. Some boards accept standing seam in approved colours; others keep to tile.
With the letter in hand we file with the Village of Wellington on ProjectDox from its Building Division on Forest Hill Boulevard, with the panel sample and the product approval attached. The village publishes its own plan-review chart, so the schedule comes from that chart.
In the Equestrian Preserve the house and the barns can go on a single permit set.
Under Wellington tile there is usually a wood-truss deck, and the tear-off is the only time it is seen. We re-nail the sheathing, lay the self-adhered secondary water barrier we specify across the whole deck, then set the panels.
Wellington is inland and in the wind-borne debris region, so the fastening pattern for the clips or screws comes from the parcel's wind requirement. After the tornado around Palm Beach Polo and Versailles we also check the truss connections and roof-to-wall straps while the deck is open; a panel is only as good as what it is fastened to.
Our Wellington re-roofs in the last year were on Windsor Bay Place, Via Elegante, Barnstable Road, Stirrup Lane, Laurel Valley Circle, Exotica Lane, South Calumet Circle and Bedford Mews Drive. Roofr, our quoting system, logs the address and the price but not the covering, so we do not call any of those a metal roof and this page carries no metal count.
The photograph shows our metal work, not a named Wellington address.
On a metal reroof in Wellington, the permit through ProjectDox and its Citizen Self Service portal and any appearance review decide when the panels can be ordered, so we settle them before the material.
Wellington's Building Division at 12300 Forest Hill Boulevard takes plans on ProjectDox and handles fees, inspections and status on Citizen Self Service. The office is open weekdays 7 to 4, inspections run 7 to 3:30, and after-hours inspections are available on request. The village publishes its own plan review time-frame chart, so the schedule comes from that chart, not from us.
About 9,000 acres sit in the Equestrian Preserve under the 2001 Equestrian Overlay Zoning District, where a parcel often carries a house and barns, so one property can mean several roofs on one permit set.
Wellington is inland in the 160 mph wind band and the wind-borne debris region. The code's secondary water barrier provisions come into play on a re-roof, and we specify a self-adhered barrier across the deck.

There is no metal-only price on this page; the figure above covers every full re-roof we did in Wellington last year, in every material. Within that range the size of the roof moves the price as much as the panel does, standing seam over hidden clips costs more than an exposed-fastener barn roof, and taking off tile costs more than taking off shingle.
Deck repairs only show after the tear-off, so they appear as their own line. The written quote puts metal beside tile so you can see the gap for your house.
Some will and some will not, so the association's letter is the first thing we ask for. Boards in the gated neighbourhoods keep a colour palette; where standing seam is allowed it is in approved colours, and where the board keeps to tile no roofer can change that.
We ask before we quote so nobody pays for a price on a roof that cannot go on, and when the answer is yes we bring the panel samples and the product approval to the submittal. The letter comes before the village permit, never after.
Yes, and on an equestrian parcel that is how we prefer to quote it. In the Equestrian Preserve a property often carries a house and several barns, and the village can take those roofs on a single permit set.
The barns usually get exposed-fastener panels on purlins; the house gets standing seam or tile according to what the association allows. Every roof on the property is priced on the same sheet so you can see what each building costs and decide whether to do them together or in stages.
No roof is built to stand up to a tornado, and we will not sell you metal on that promise. What is true is narrower: a standing seam roof is a continuous panel from eave to ridge with no individual pieces to lift, while tile is made of separate units each held by its own fastener.
Either covering is only as strong as the deck, the truss connections and the roof-to-wall straps under it, which is why we check those while the deck is open. The panels are fastened to the parcel's wind requirement.
