Lifetime Workmanship WarrantyFor a shingle roof replacement in Wellington, we check the house and the association’s roof requirements before choosing the material. Shingle comes up in two places: on the houses and outbuildings that were built with it, and where an association allows it and an owner wants the lighter roof.
We install shingle from our shop in Lake Worth Beach, a short drive east on Forest Hill Boulevard. A Molsbee roofer checks what the roof was built to carry, asks the association what it will allow, and gives you a written price for architectural shingle over a sealed deck.
We are a Florida Certified Roofing Contractor CCC1327429, and the phone at 561-318-8624 is answered at all hours.
Many gated Wellington neighbourhoods have an architectural committee, and where one exists, from Aero Club to Olympia and Versailles, it rules on roof material and colour before anything is filed. Not every committee accepts shingle.
We ask for the community's current roof standard at the first visit, prepare the submittal if shingle is allowed, and only then file the permit on ProjectDox with the Village Building Division on Forest Hill Boulevard, which publishes its own plan-review time-frame chart.
Tear-off to the deck, the deck re-nailed to current code, then the sealed secondary water barrier we specify, a method the code allows on re-roofs. New flashings at every wall and pipe, new drip edge, and architectural shingle nailed to the pattern for the 160 mph wind band; Wellington is inland, but the whole village sits inside the wind-borne debris region, so the fastening is the coastal standard.
While the deck is open we check the truss connections and roof-to-wall straps, a habit since the Milton tornado of October 2024, and bring them up to what the code asks for.
Many homes west of State Road 7 carry concrete tile over wood trusses, and the common Wellington switch runs the other way: an owner wants the lighter shingle roof in place of tile. Trusses built for tile can carry the lighter shingle, but the deck, the venting and the edge details were designed around tile, so we inspect them before the scope is written.
The reverse move, shingle to tile, needs the framing checked before it is priced.
About 9,000 acres of Wellington sit in the Equestrian Preserve, where a parcel often carries a house and barns, so one property can mean several roofs on one permit set. We inspect every building on the parcel, write a scope for each and file them together through ProjectDox.
Our recent Wellington re-roofs include Stirrup Lane, Laurel Valley Circle, Barnstable Road, Exotica Lane, Windsor Bay Place and Via Elegante; the job records do not say which of those roofs were shingle.
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.
Molsbee Roofing was amazing. I called needing a roof leak repaired. They were able to get a crew out the next day. Very professional. Everyone had Molsbee shirts on, Molsbee trucks. They took before pictures, pictures of the wood, pictures of every step of the repair. I will be doing my new roof with Molsbee Roofing.Read on Google
Molsbee Roofing has made getting a new roof an exceptional experience. They have been very responsive throughout the process. I am impressed that the final completion of a tile roof was completed in under 30 days from signing and provided at a competitive price.Read on Google
We signed or completed about a dozen roofing jobs with a Wellington address over the last twelve months.
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.

The range above comes from our own signed full re-roofs in Wellington over the last year, all roof types together, so a shingle roof usually sits toward the lower end of it. Your price depends on roof area and pitch, how much deck needs replacing once the old covering is off, the number of walls and pipes to flash, and whether a barn or outbuilding is in the scope.
We measure the roof at the free inspection and put each of those items in the written price.
Yes, where the community has an architectural committee, and in Wellington that is common. The committee decides whether shingle is allowed and which colours it will accept, and the Village permit is filed only after that letter is in hand, so the roof on the application matches the roof the community approved.
Bring the current roof standard to the inspection, or give us the management company, and we prepare the submittal with the shingle sample and product data.
Usually because that slope takes more sun or more wind, and the shingle there has aged faster. South- and west-facing slopes lose their granules sooner, and the Milton tornado of October 2024 left uneven wind damage across the village, so one slope can be lifted or creased while the other looks fine.
We compare the slopes at the inspection, photograph the covering and flashings, and tell you whether it is a repair or a re-roof before recommending either.
Yes. On an equestrian parcel the house and the barns are inspected together and quoted as one job, each building with its own measurements and its own scope.
The Village permits them as one set through ProjectDox, and the Preserve's rules for the parcel are checked before any work is arranged. Tell us every building that needs a roof, including the ones you are unsure about, so the inspection covers them all in a single visit.
