Lifetime Workmanship WarrantyMolsbee Roofing inspects roofs in Wellington, FL, for free: we walk the roof, lift tile where it tells us something, go into the attic and send you photographs with a written report. The report gives a plain verdict of nothing, repair or replace, with a written price if there is work to do.
Since the tornado that came off Hurricane Milton in October 2024, we check trusses and roof-to-wall straps on every Wellington visit, from Olympia and Versailles to the barns of the Equestrian Preserve. Family-owned since 1975, we are Florida Certified Roofing Contractor CCC1327429, and (561) 318-8624 is answered 24 hours a day.
On a concrete tile roof over wood trusses, we count the cracked and slipped tile slope by slope and lift a tile in several places to see the underlayment. We check the mortar at the ridges and hips and look hard at the flashings where the roof meets a second-storey wall, a chimney or a skylight.
Metal, shingle and flat sections on the same house get the same slope-by-slope record, so the report shows each part of the roof and not a single overall grade.
From the attic we check the trusses, the roof-to-wall straps and the underside of the deck. A strap that has pulled or bent cannot be seen from the roof, and neither can a stain spreading across the decking from a slow leak.
After the Milton tornado, we treat this step as part of every visit in the village, because a roof near the path can look untouched from the driveway while the connections underneath have moved.
Out in the Equestrian Preserve a property usually carries a house and one or more barns, each with its own roof. We walk all of them on the same visit and write each one up separately, so you can see what every building needs.
On a gated lot in Palm Beach Polo or Binks Forest the list is shorter, but the association is the extra step, so we photograph the tile profile and colour and your submittal can be started straight from the report.
You get dated photographs of everything we found, a plain verdict for each roof and, if there is work to do, a written price for it. Anything we could not see without opening the roof, like underlayment under tile we did not lift, is marked as not seen.
Bring any roof permits, repair invoices or past reports so we can set them against the roof's condition; the Village handles permit records through Citizen Self Service, and that record helps us check which code the roof was built under.
For work in Wellington, confirm requirements with the building department responsible for the property and complete any required historic or HOA review before ordering materials or beginning work.
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.

I contacted Molsbee Roofing because of a leak in the roof. Merrick came out right away and he was friendly, professional and helpful. He got the leak fixed fast, I was very happy and I would definitely recommend Molsbee Roofing!Read on Google
We signed or completed about a dozen roofing jobs with a Wellington address over the last twelve months.
A Wellington inspection costs nothing and comes with photographs and a written report. Repairs it turns up are priced separately, in writing, before anything is booked.

Nothing. There is no fee for the visit, the attic check, the photographs or the written report, whether the roof is a small villa roof or a house with barns.
If the roof needs work, you get a price for that work in writing and decide in your own time. If it does not need anything, the report says so plainly, and that is the end of it.
Molsbee Roofing, family-owned since 1975, starts every Wellington job this way.
The findings that turn a clean report into a repair or a replacement are specific. On tile: cracked or slipped pieces, ridge and hip caps that have lifted, underlayment that tears when a tile is lifted, and open flashings at walls and chimneys.
In the attic: pulled or bent roof-to-wall straps, damaged trusses and a stained or soft deck. On metal barn roofs: backed-out fasteners, open seams and rust at laps.
The report says which of these we found and where.
Cracked tile that is still sitting in place, ridge and hip caps that lifted and settled back, underlayment torn beneath tile that looks fine, and roof-to-wall straps that pulled or bent. Any of those can show up as a leak a season or a year later.
If your house was anywhere near the October 2024 path and nobody has walked the roof since, ask for the attic check even if the roof looks untouched from the street.
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.
The report covers it where it matters: we measure the damaged area slope by slope and, with the permit history, tell you whether a repair keeps you under the line.
Yes, and it should come from a roofer. A general home inspection rarely lifts tile, checks the underlayment beneath it or looks at roof-to-wall straps, and those are the things that decide the next big cost on a Wellington tile house.
We give you photographs and a verdict before your contract deadline, plus a written price if the roof needs work, so you know what you are buying in Wellington, Olympia or anywhere else in the village.
