West Palm Beach · Palm Beach County, Jupiter to Boca RatonMetal roof replacement in West Palm Beach
West Palm Beach searches for metal roofing more than any other town in the county, and the interest is not evenly spread. It comes from the bungalow blocks of Northwood in 33407 and the cottages of Flamingo Park, where a standing-seam roof suits the architecture and the owners want to replace a roof once. It comes from Southland Park, Broadmoor and Ellamar in 33405, where the homes along Flagler Drive take salt off the Intracoastal and a metal roof built in aluminum with stainless fasteners has nothing hidden to corrode. And it comes from the newer construction filling in around downtown and along Dixie Highway, where metal is simply the modern roof. There is a catch in the historic districts. El Cid, Flamingo Park, Prospect Park South and Northwood sit under the Historic Preservation Board, and a visible change from clay barrel to metal on a contributing house needs a certificate of appropriateness that is not always granted; on a non-contributing house or a rear addition it often is. West of the interstate, communities near the President Country Club and Village Boulevard have their own architectural committees with their own views. So the first step on a West Palm Beach metal roof is finding out what the address allows, and we do that before we quote. Molsbee Roofing has been a family business since 1975, based in Lake Worth Beach and working Palm Beach County, Jupiter to Boca Raton, and West Palm Beach sends us more calls than any other city. Where metal is permitted, the job begins under the panels: old roof off, deck inspected and repaired, a high-temperature self-adhered underlayment rolled over everything, then panels formed to the length of each roof plane and fixed on concealed clips so no screw is exposed across the field to back out or weep. Along Flagler Drive and the Intracoastal the panels are aluminum, the clips and fasteners stainless, the edges hemmed and sealed, and every flashing the same metal as the roof. Inland, coated steel serves well. The City of West Palm Beach permits the work and inspects at dry-in and final. Free roof inspections: a roofer measures, photographs the deck, and writes standing seam, 5V, tile and shingle side by side for your own house. Open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at 561-318-8624.
