Roof replacement in Wellington mostly means concrete tile over wood trusses on houses behind a gate, and on an equestrian parcel it can mean a house and its barns re-roofed under one permit set. Since the October 2024 tornado from Hurricane Milton, a new roof in the village is also the moment to check truss connections and roof-to-wall straps while the deck is open.
Each re-roof begins with a free inspection, photographs and a written scope with the price. Molsbee Roofing has served Palm Beach County since 1975 from our shop in Lake Worth Beach, under Florida license CCC1327429.
A Wellington tile roof is due for replacement when the felt under it splits at every lifted piece, when cracked tile runs across whole slopes, or when ridge and hip mortar has let go along most of the roof. Near the tornado's path around Palm Beach Polo and Versailles, damage hidden under tile that still looks right can push a roof into that category.
A few slipped pieces over sound felt are still a repair. The written scope says which case your roof is in, with the photographs that show why.
Concrete tile in barrel, flat and S profiles is the usual Wellington roof, replaced with new tile over new underlayment in the profile your committee approves. Sound clay barrel tile can be detached and reset over the new layers instead.
Shingle suits houses and outbuildings built for it, where the association agrees. Standing seam metal appears on houses where boards allow it and exposed-fastener panels on barns.
Flat lanai and link sections get TPO or modified bitumen, flashed up the wall where the tile drains onto them.
Most Wellington communities, from Olympia to Aero Club, approve tile profile and color before anything is filed, so we order nothing until that letter is back. The Building Division at 12300 Forest Hill Boulevard then takes the plans on ProjectDox, with fees, inspections and status on Citizen Self Service, and the village's own plan review chart sets the timing.
Inside the Equestrian Preserve's overlay district, the house and its barns can share one permit set. The village sits in the 160 mph wind band and the wind-borne debris region.
With the tile off, the deck is re-nailed to current code and any rotten sheathing is photographed and priced before it is replaced. While the trusses are exposed we check the truss-to-wall connections and straps the tornado may have loosened, and any strengthening the code calls for gets its own line.
A self-adhered secondary water barrier covers the deck, then new flashing at every wall and chimney before tile or panels are set. Village inspections follow each stage, crews wear protective, safe footwear on tile, and the yard is cleared before the final.
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.

All service areas ↗Lift a tile before deciding. If the felt beneath is still pliable and the damage is one area, repair it.
If the felt tears in the hand across several slopes, or the attic shows stained decking and pulled straps, a re-roof is the steadier money. Since the tornado we also count cracked pieces slope by slope, because tile can crack in place and look whole from the driveway.
You get photographs of each finding and both options priced in writing.
Yes, on most equestrian parcels. Wellington's Equestrian Preserve covers about 9,000 acres under an overlay zoning district, and a property there often carries a house and several barns.
The village can take those roofs on one permit set, which means one filing and one inspection schedule. The barns usually get exposed-fastener metal and the house gets tile or standing seam, each priced on its own line so you can phase the work.
Tell us where horses are turned out so staging stays clear of them.
It changed what we look at while the deck is open. The EF3 tornado of 9 October 2024 did serious damage in parts of the village, and some of it sits at the truss connections and roof-to-wall straps rather than on the surface.
A re-roof is the one time those connections can be seen and corrected at reasonable effort, so we photograph them and price any required work before new underlayment goes down. No roof is built to stand up to a tornado, and we never pitch a new roof on that promise.
The association letter comes first wherever a committee exists. We then file the plans with the Village of Wellington on ProjectDox and track fees and inspections through Citizen Self Service.
The office keeps weekday hours of 7 to 4, and inspections run from 7 to 3:30. Each inspection the permit calls for is booked as the roof is ready for it, through to the final, and you receive the permit record and inspection results once the job closes.
