Wellington · Palm Beach County, Jupiter to Boca RatonMetal roof replacement in Wellington
Wellington already knows metal roofing better than most towns, because so much of it is on barns. The equestrian properties around the Equestrian Club and Paddock Park have carried standing-seam and exposed-fastener metal on stables, arenas and equipment buildings for decades, and the hangars along the taxiways of the Wellington Aero Club are metal by nature. The newer question is whether it belongs on the house, and the honest first answer is: it depends on your community. Olympia, Binks Forest, Meadow Wood, Greenview Cove and Pinewood were built on concrete tile and many of their architectural committees still require it, or allow metal only in specific profiles and colors. Where it is allowed, the case for standing seam is strong even without the coast's salt air. Wellington gets the same wind and rain everyone else does, and a standing-seam roof sheds water instantly with no place for it to pool, holds on in gusts that lift tile, reflects heat instead of soaking it into a big attic, and has no underlayment-under-tile wear point to fail after a couple of decades, which is what drives most Wellington leaks. On the large roofs that Wellington homes tend to carry, that last point matters more, not less. We are Molsbee Roofing, a family-run company since 1975, based in Lake Worth Beach and working across Palm Beach County, Jupiter to Boca Raton, with Wellington a short drive west. Before we quote a metal roof here we check what your association allows, because a proposal for a roof the committee will reject wastes your time. Where metal is permitted, the job runs like this: tear off the old roof, inspect and repair the deck, lay a high-temperature self-adhered underlayment, then install panels formed to length for each roof plane on concealed clips, with no exposed fasteners across the field, permitted and inspected by the Village of Wellington. On barns and hangars, where exposed-fastener panels are normal and cost matters, we install those too and tell you how to keep the screws maintained. Free roof inspections: we measure, photograph the deck, and put standing seam, 5V, tile and shingle side by side in writing for your own house or building. Open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at 561-318-8624.
