Lifetime Workmanship WarrantyAfter a storm in Wellington, Molsbee Roofing comes out to stop any water getting in, find where the damage ends and give you a free inspection with photographs and a written repair price. Tell us which buildings were hit, the house, a barn or both, and where horses and vehicles need to move, so the visit covers every roof that needs it.
The permanent repair is built to the parcel's own wind requirement in Wellington's inland 160 mph band, and permits go through the village on ProjectDox. We are licensed as CCC1327429, and (561) 318-8624 is answered 24 hours a day.
If water is coming in, the first job is a temporary cover fastened to sound roofing around the opening, not weighted down where the next squall can lift it. Then we walk every slope, because wind that lifts one ridge cap often loosens the next few, and debris that breaks one tile can crack the pieces around it.
We mark where the damage ends, so the repair covers all of it and not just the part you can see from the lawn.
On tile, wind lifts ridge and hip caps first, and flying debris breaks field tile and leaves the underlayment beneath to take the rain. On a metal barn roof, panels peel at the edges and trim, and fasteners work loose along the seams.
Shingles lose their seal and can lie flat while still unfastened. Flat sections over porches and lanais open at the edges.
Each needs a different repair, and a house and barn on one parcel often need both.
Wellington sits in the county's inland 160 mph design band and inside the wind-borne debris region, and the repair is fastened to the parcel's own value rather than a village-wide guess. Where the covering is replaced, the code's secondary water barrier requirements apply, and we specify a self-adhered barrier across the deck.
Permanent work is permitted through the Building Division on ProjectDox, and if the repair changes the tile, the colour or the look, your association's approval comes before that filing.
Every finding is photographed and labeled by where it sits: a displaced ridge on the east slope, a cracked field tile over wet underlayment, a barn panel lifted at the eave. The written price then lists the affected area, the materials, the flashing work and anything found beneath the covering.
Together the photographs and the price document the damage and the scope of the repair, and you have both in hand before any work begins.
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.

After the most recent major rain water began to drip from our ceiling. Preparing for the worst we called Molsbee roofing after seeing their crews replace a large house nearby. They actually had a crew here the next day, found a spot that needed repair, and fixed it before it got worse.Read on Google
We signed or completed about a dozen roofing jobs with a Wellington address over the last twelve months.

Stay off the roof and keep people and animals clear of anything hanging loose. From the ground and from inside, photograph what you can see: missing tile, a lifted barn panel, a ceiling stain, water on the floor.
Pull furniture and rugs out of the way of any drip and call us. If you live behind a gate in Olympia or Binks Forest, tell us the entry procedure, and on a horse property tell us where the animals are.
It depends on what moved and what got wet underneath, so we price it after the free inspection rather than guess over the phone. A few lifted ridge caps on sound tile are a small repair.
Broken field tile over wet underlayment, a soft deck or damage across several slopes costs more, and a barn roof adds its own line. You get the price in writing, with photographs of each item, before we start, and the price does not change unless you approve a change.
Only when the damage is widespread. 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. We measure the damage slope by slope and check the permit history, and the written price tells you which case applies.
Whichever one is taking water over people, animals or feed. That is usually the house, but a barn with horses in the stalls can come first, and we agree the order with you on the first call.
Both roofs are dried in before either permanent repair starts. Each building then gets its own photographs and its own lines on the written price, so the house and the barn can be scheduled, permitted and paid for on the timeline that suits you.
Check the state licence before anyone climbs your roof; ours is CCC1327429. After a big storm, out-of-area roofers knock on doors across Wellington, so look for a company with a local shop, a record in Palm Beach County and Google reviews you can read.
Ask for photographs and a written price before you sign. Molsbee Roofing has been family-owned since 1975, is rated 4.8 with 200+ Google reviews, and puts a lifetime workmanship warranty in writing on the roofs we install.
