West Palm Beach · Palm Beach County, Jupiter to Boca RatonRoof leak repair in West Palm Beach
West Palm Beach is our busiest service area. More of our calls come from this city than from any other in the county, and most of them are about a leak, not a new roof. The housing explains the volume. El Cid, Flamingo Park, Prospect Park South and Northwood carry clay barrel roofs that are approaching or past a century, on plank sheathing, with chimneys, parapets and flat sections over porches and additions, every one of them a place water can enter. Southland Park, Ellamar and the Flagler Drive blocks in 33405 take salt off the Intracoastal, so their valley metal, drip edge and fasteners corrode under tile that looks new. Broadmoor and the postwar blocks toward Dixie Highway have concrete tile over felt that has spent decades in an attic and now cracks at the laps. West toward the President Country Club and Village Boulevard, community roofs built together age together, and a whole building's worth of leaks can arrive in one season. In every one of those cases the ceiling stain is a poor guide. Water enters at a point, a corroded valley, a split pipe boot, an opened chimney flashing, a failed seam on a flat porch roof, and travels along the felt until a nail or a lap lets it drop, often rooms away. So a West Palm Beach leak repair starts on the roof: a roofer walks it and, where there is access, the attic; traces the stain uphill; probes the valley and eave metal; lifts tile at the suspect laps; checks the flat sections; photographs the entry point; and hands you the pictures with an itemized price for exactly that fix. Molsbee Roofing has been a family business since 1975, based in Lake Worth Beach and working Palm Beach County, Jupiter to Boca Raton, and repairs are the bulk of what we do in this city. If the roof is sound you hear that. If a repair will hold, we make it and stand behind it. If the felt has failed across the slope, the photographs make the case without a pitch, and in a historic district we tell you what the preservation board will expect of the re-roof before you decide.
