West Palm Beach · Flat roof repair and replacement
Roofing in West Palm Beach since 1975.
No town we cover carries as much low-slope roofing as this one. Walk Northwood and you are looking at parades of shopfronts finished flat behind a raised front wall.
Downtown adds offices and small blocks in 33401. Then the residential half: the carports, porches and rear extensions that post-war builders in Southland Park, Broadmoor and Ellamar attached to otherwise ordinary pitched houses.
A shopfront and a carport have nothing in common architecturally and everything in common as roofs, because low-slope covering does not shed water by shape. It moves water by fall and it holds water out by seam, and when either of those stops doing its job the roof has no second line of defence.
Three faults account for nearly all of it. Seams part, most often at an edge or where the covering climbs a wall.
Outlets clog, and a deck that cannot empty holds a shallow pond that leans on every seam it reaches while adding weight nobody designed for. And the junction between a low deck and the pitched roof above works loose, because that junction is the hardest-working detail on the building and the one most often patched with a tube of sealant.
Sealant is not a flashing. That junction wants forming in metal and lapping into both coverings so the water is steered rather than dammed.
Any quote that folds your flat section into a rate per square foot for the whole house was written without going up there. We are Molsbee Roofing, family-run since 1975, based in Lake Worth Beach and working across Palm Beach County, Jupiter to Boca Raton, licensed CCC1327429.
We repair and replace low-slope roofs in 33401, 33405 and 33407, on homes and on commercial buildings. Free roof inspections.

Good to know
What to know.
- Choosing between single-ply, sheet and coating
Single-ply TPO arrives in wide rolls welded together with heat, reflects sunlight and suits the larger commercial decks around Northwood and the downtown blocks. Modified bitumen comes in narrower sheets and handles the cramped, irregular shapes of a carport or a rear extension far better. Coatings are a different proposition: they renew a covering that is still fundamentally intact. Picking between them is a judgement about condition, fall and how many years you want, and it is made on the roof.
- Standing water is a message
A low-slope deck should be dry a day after rain. If yours is not, either the outlets are not clearing or the deck no longer falls the way it was built to. Blocked outlets are the cheap version and clearing them often ends the matter entirely. A deck that has sagged is the other version, and patching it achieves nothing lasting; the fall has to be rebuilt with tapered insulation during a re-cover. Whichever it is, ignoring it lets the pond keep working on your seams.
- The wall the covering has to climb
Most low-slope roofs in this city stop at a raised wall instead of an open edge, and that is where the membrane must run upward, terminate and be capped. It is the most demanding thing a flat roofer does and the first place people reach for sealant when it starts weeping. We rebuild those terminations as they should be, carrying the covering up and fixing it mechanically beneath a cap, because a wall held together by a bead of mastic has a leak already scheduled.
- What a landlord or a board actually needs
Commercial and multi-unit work in 33401 and 33407 needs more than a figure. We divide the roof into mapped sections, photograph every one and return a document that separates what cannot wait from what belongs in next year's budget. That is something a manager can plan against and defend to owners. We hold Carlisle certification for TPO. Scope and price are agreed in writing beforehand, and the work is permitted and inspected in the normal way.

Roofing questions
Frequently asked questions.
Who repairs flat roofs in West Palm Beach, FL?
Molsbee Roofing. A family business since 1975, based in Lake Worth Beach, licensed CCC1327429, covering Palm Beach County from Jupiter to Boca Raton. We work on low-slope roofs throughout 33401, 33405 and 33407, on carports and rear extensions in Southland Park and Broadmoor and on the shopfronts, offices and small blocks around Northwood and downtown. The roofer examines seams, outlets and the junction with any pitched roof, photographs everything and prices the work in writing. Free roof inspections. Call 561-318-8624, open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Would a coating do instead of a new flat roof?
It might, and where it fits it is excellent value. A coating renews a covering; it does not rebuild one. So it needs seams that are still closed, a deck that still falls correctly and outlets that still clear. Meet those conditions and you buy substantial extra life for a small share of a replacement. Miss them and you have painted over a fault that carries on underneath. The photographs from the inspection settle it, and we will tell you plainly which side of that line your roof sits on.
Why is there still water up there two days after rain?
One of two reasons. Either something is stopping the outlets clearing, which is usually leaves and grit and is quickly fixed, or the deck has lost its fall through age or settlement, which is not. The second needs the slope rebuilding with tapered insulation when the roof is re-covered. Both are worth dealing with rather than tolerating, because a pond bears down continuously on the seams beneath it and puts load onto a structure that was never sized for standing water.
The main roof is sound, so why does the porch leak?
Because you have two roofs of different kinds meeting along one line. The porch is low-slope and depends on fall and sealed seams; the roof above it depends on pitch. The line between them has to be formed in metal and tucked into both. Where somebody has run sealant along it instead, it opens, and water arrives inside while everything overhead looks perfectly fine. It is among the most frequent calls we take in this city, and it is fixed by rebuilding the detail rather than resealing it.
Do you take on commercial roofs around Northwood and downtown?
Yes, regularly. Shopfronts, offices and small multi-unit buildings across 33401 and 33407. The roof is surveyed in mapped sections and photographed section by section, and the report distinguishes urgent work from work that can be scheduled and budgeted. Coverings are TPO, modified bitumen or a coating according to what is up there and how it drains, and we are Carlisle certified for TPO. Everything is permitted and inspected, with scope and price written down before we begin.
