Full re-roofs in Wellington came in between about $13,900 and $63,000 for us over the last twelve months, and the middle of the pack was around $22,500. The top of that range runs higher than in most of the county, and the reason is the roofs themselves.
Wellington is inland tile country. West of 441 the homes are mostly concrete tile over wood truss, the floor plans are wide, and the roofs in Olympia, Binks Forest and along the Aero Club taxiways are some of the largest residential roofs we measure.
Tile costs more than shingle to buy and to set. The middle of the range is the more common Wellington house, a 1990s two-story on a standard lot, like our re-roofs on Stirrup Lane, Laurel Valley Circle and Barnstable Road last year.
The lower end was smaller homes and townhouse-style roofs, including two on Bedford Mews Drive in the same month. Three local things shape the quote.
Almost every Wellington neighborhood has an architectural committee with a color book, so the tile profile and color are usually decided for you and the committee letter comes before the village permit. On an equestrian parcel in the Preserve, the barn and the house are two roofs priced together on one permit set.
And since the October 2024 tornado from Hurricane Milton cut through the village, a Wellington roof inspection is as much about truss uplift and deck attachment as about the tile on top. We are Molsbee Roofing, family-run since 1975, based in Lake Worth Beach, with more of our Wellington work coming through partner referrals than in any other town.

What sets the price in Wellington
Why the top end runs high in Wellington
Area and material, not padding. A tile roof in Olympia, Binks Forest or along the Aero Club taxiways covers far more deck than a house in the eastern towns, often with a second floor and long hip runs, and concrete tile weighs several times what shingle does.
Tear-off, hauling and setting all take longer, and the tile itself costs more to buy. Add a barn on an equestrian parcel and the total climbs again.
That is why we measure every Wellington roof from the deck rather than quoting from the street, and why the written scope lists tile profile, underlayment and flashing metal line by line.
The color book comes before the village permit
Meadow Wood, Greenview Cove, Pinewood and most other Wellington communities specify the tile profile and color, and some set a completion window once the roof is opened. The committee letter has to be in hand before we file with the Village of Wellington on ProjectDox, so we fold that step into the timeline and order tile only after the approval.
If your community has a completion clause, we stage tile delivery and the tear-off so the clock does not run against you. Where a community allows shingle or metal as well as tile, we price the options side by side.
What the tear-off shows after the 2024 tornado
The October 2024 tornado from Hurricane Milton ran through Wellington, and roofs that looked fine from the street had lifted trusses and loosened decking. Around Palm Beach Polo, Versailles and Paddock Park we check the truss-to-wall and deck-to-truss connections and photograph them, because the tear-off is the one time they can be corrected at reasonable cost.
With the old tile off, the deck is renailed to current code, rotten sheathing replaced and the barrier we specify sealed over the deck before new tile goes on. Roof-to-wall strengthening is priced where the code calls for it.
What a repair costs in Wellington, and when it stops making sense
Repairs in Wellington ran between about $800 and $3,200 last year, with the middle around $1,800. Slid or cracked tile after wind, a hip or ridge letting go, a flashing at a wall or chimney: those are repairs.
When the underlayment tears wherever we lift a tile, the roof is past patching. On clay barrel tile that is still sound there is a middle road, lifting and resetting the same tile over new underlayment; concrete tile is priced as new tile.
The written price says which of those routes your roof qualifies for and why.
How it works in Wellington

Permits in Wellington
In Wellington the permit through ProjectDox and its Citizen Self Service portal, the wind band and what the tear-off reveals are the three things that move a roof price, so they come first in any quote.
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.
- Tile country west of 441
- Many Wellington homes west of State Road 7 carry concrete tile over wood trusses. Tile count, cracked pieces and truss uplift are what an inspection here is for, from Olympia to Binks Forest.
- A tornado in recent memory
- On 9 October 2024 an EF3 tornado spawned by Hurricane Milton caused significant damage in the village. That is why we check truss connections and tile attachment around Palm Beach Polo and Versailles, not just the surface.
- Horses, barns and no salt air
- Inland across 45.8 square miles with no salt exposure. On equestrian parcels the barns and the house are quoted as one job, and where Aero Club or another neighbourhood has an architectural committee, its approval comes before the filing.

Roof replacement cost questions in Wellington
How much does a new roof cost in Wellington?
From our own signed jobs over the last twelve months, most full re-roofs in Wellington cost between about $13,900 and $63,000, with the middle around $22,500. Where your house lands depends on roof area, the tile profile your committee allows, how much decking and truss work the tear-off shows, and whether a barn sits on the same permit set.
The free inspection puts a written number on your own roof, line by line, with the lifetime workmanship warranty and the manufacturer's material warranty in the same document.
Do I need HOA approval before replacing a roof in Wellington?
In almost every Wellington neighborhood, yes. The architectural committee in Olympia, Paddock Park or the Aero Club approves the tile profile and color before anything is filed with the village, and some communities set a completion window once the roof is opened.
We prepare the packet with you, wait for the letter, then file the permit on ProjectDox and order tile only after the approval is in, so the schedule never runs ahead of the paperwork.
Which roofers offer payment plans in Wellington?
We do. Molsbee Roofing offers financing on approved credit for roof replacements in Wellington and explains the terms at the free inspection.
The roof price is the same whether you finance or pay outright, and the written scope, the lifetime workmanship warranty and the manufacturer's warranty on the tile come with either. Family-owned since 1975, Florida Certified Roofing Contractor CCC1327429, based in Lake Worth Beach.
Can you price the barn and the house together on an equestrian property?
Yes, and we prefer to. On a parcel in the Equestrian Preserve the house, the barn and any covered arena are separate roofs on one permit set, often in different materials, and pricing them together saves a second mobilization and keeps one inspection schedule with the village.
We walk each roof separately, because a barn roof and a tile house roof fail in different places, and the scope lists each building on its own line so you can phase the work if you want to.
How do I get a roof estimate in Wellington?
Call 561-318-8624 or book the free roof inspection online. A Molsbee roofer measures the roof, checks the trusses and deck from the attic, photographs everything, and shows you the tile or shingle options your committee allows.
You receive a written scope and price with the workmanship and material warranties spelled out, and the job is permitted through the Village of Wellington once the committee letter is in hand. The line is answered around the clock.
