Request your free inspection
Roof repair in Wellington covers more than one kind of roof: concrete tile over wood trusses behind the gates of Olympia and Binks Forest, metal barn roofs out in the Equestrian Preserve, and the shingle and flat sections built onto houses across the village. Every job starts with a free inspection and photographs of what we find, and you get a written scope with the price before any work begins.
Where clay barrel tile is sound, we lift it, renew the underlayment and flashing, and reset the same tile. Molsbee Roofing has served Palm Beach County since 1975 from our shop in Lake Worth Beach, under Florida license CCC1327429.

Most Wellington houses west of State Road 7 have concrete tile over wood trusses, and there a repair is the right call when the damage is contained: a few cracked or slipped tiles, a ridge or hip cap that has let go, or an open flashing where a lower roof meets a second-story wall. Once the felt splits every time a tile is lifted, across a whole slope, patching only buys a season.
Broken concrete pieces are replaced with tile in the same barrel, flat or S profile, and the written scope draws the repair line and prices any re-roof option separately.
A barn roof of exposed-fastener panels on purlins wears in its own places: screws that have backed out, laps and seams that have opened, trim lifted at the eave or gable, and rust where panels overlap. The repair targets those points, with new fasteners, resealed laps, trim fastened back down and a new panel where one is too far gone to keep.
Tell us where the horses are turned out and which aisles must stay clear. Every barn gets its own photographs and its own priced lines, so it can be approved apart from the house.
Many Wellington houses carry a flat lanai roof, a garage or a guest wing added after the tile went on, and the repair there is usually at the junction: the membrane is carried up the wall above the waterline under new flashing, and the tile above is relaid over it. Under the oaks we clear and test the drains before anything else.
On outbuildings and houses built with shingle, worn or wind-lifted shingles are cut out and new ones worked in, with fresh flashing at walls and pipes. The scope names each material and the detail being repaired.
Whether a repair needs a permit depends on its scope, so we confirm it with the Village of Wellington's Building Division at 12300 Forest Hill Boulevard before work starts. When one is needed, plans go in on ProjectDox and inspections are tracked on Citizen Self Service.
A repair that changes the tile color, profile or look goes to your association first, in Versailles, Aero Club or any community with an architectural committee. The village sits in the 160 mph wind band and the wind-borne debris region, and repaired sections are attached to the wind requirement for the address.
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 recently was in the market for a new roof. After many interviews with various roof companies. I revisited my first choice - Molsbee Roofing mainly due to Merrick. Merrick took time to explain thoroughly the process and stood by everything he promised. Nicole's customer service was also exceptional!Read on Google
We had a wonderful experience with Molsbee Roofing replacing our flat roof. The team did a fantastic job, the new flat roof looks great! I also enjoyed working with Nicole and Merrick, they were very professional from start to finish. The roofers were hard-working and thorough.Read on Google
We signed or completed about a dozen roofing jobs with a Wellington address over the last twelve months.
All service areas ↗A repair, while the cracked tile is limited and the felt beneath still holds; a new roof, when that felt tears wherever a piece is lifted or cracks run across whole slopes. 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 the roof's permit history in Citizen Self Service before pricing. The written scope shows the photographs and prices the repair and any replacement option side by side.
Yes, barns included. On a horse property in the Equestrian Preserve, a parcel often holds a tile house and one or more metal barns, and we inspect all of them on one visit.
Barn repairs usually come down to fasteners, seams, laps and trim, while the house is usually tile, ridge caps and flashing. When the work needs a permit, the village can take the buildings on one permit set.
Each roof has its own lines on the written price, so you can approve the house now and a barn later, or the other way round.
We walk the covering, ridges, hips, valleys and flashings, and from the attic we check the trusses, the roof-to-wall straps and the underside of the deck, a step we have kept since the Milton tornado of October 2024. What stays hidden until the roof is opened is the felt under any tile we did not lift, the top face of the sheathing and the fasteners holding it.
The scope lists the areas seen and not seen. If opening the roof turns up rotten sheathing or failed felt, we photograph it and price it as a separate line for your approval before it is covered again.
Start with the leak. When water is coming in, the first job is finding where it gets past the roof, and that work has its own Wellington roof leak repair page.
Call 561-318-8624, answered 24 hours a day, and tell us which building is wet, the house or a barn, and the gate procedure if you live behind one. Once the entry point is found and stopped, the questions on this page take over: whether the roof around it is sound enough to repair, and what the written scope covers.
You get the photographs and the written scope with the price before anything starts, and photographs of the finished repair afterward. Where the repair needed a permit, you also receive the permit record and the village's inspection result.
Products carry their manufacturers' warranties in writing, and if your insurer asks for a roof certification letter after the repair, we provide one. Molsbee Roofing is family-owned since 1975, a Florida Certified Roofing Contractor (CCC1327429), a GAF Certified Contractor and an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, rated 4.8 from 200+ Google reviews.
