  Roof replacement: tile, metal, shingle and flat

  Pitch decides the specification here before anything else does. Shingle is fine down to a limit and needs a heavier underlayment specification as a roof gets shallower; below that limit the roof is a low-slope roof and needs a flat-roof covering instead. We measure the pitch first and say plainly which you have. Then the ordinary sequence: old covering off, decking walked and soft sheets replaced, the deck re-nailed, self-adhered underlayment carried as far as the pitch requires, edge metal specified for the salt exposure on canal addresses, and the covering installed to the Florida Building Code. Genuinely flat roofs get TPO, modified bitumen or a coating according to condition.

  Free roof inspection, and the eaves

  The roofer measures the pitch, walks the slopes and opens the covering at several points to read the layer beneath, then works through every collar, valley, flashing and cap. On these wide-overhang houses the eave gets particular attention, because it carries the drip edge, the fascia and the intake ventilation the whole roof depends on, and on a house of this age that timber has had a long damp life while the intake is often blocked. He examines the hardware piece by piece on canal addresses, clears and tests any flat-roof outlet, and feels for decking that has softened, which on a shallow roof is often the clearest evidence there is. Everything is photographed, and there is no charge either way.

  What a roof costs in North Palm Beach

  Full replacements we have priced across Palm Beach County since spring have landed in the county's typical range, and your house sets its own number. Pitch, area, the covering, how much decking is soft once the old roof is off, the state of the fascia along those long eaves, whether the ventilation needs correcting and the coastal metal specification on a canal address all move it. A fair quote shows each of those as its own line and states the pitch it assumed. Ours does, in writing, before we start, and anything beyond the decking allowance is photographed and approved by you before it goes on.

  Why a Lake Worth Beach roofer for North Palm Beach

  Shallow and flat roofs are unforgiving of a contractor who has not worked on many, because the specification changes with the pitch and the eave detail carries more than it looks like it does. Molsbee Roofing has been a family business since 1975, based in Lake Worth Beach and working the county from Jupiter to Boca Raton, licensed CCC1327429. We have opened a great many roofs of this generation and we measure the pitch before we price. Every job is permitted and inspected, every price is itemised in writing before the work, and the workmanship is backed for as long as you own the home. Ask any roofer what pitch their quote assumed; it is the quickest test there is here. Owners at Old Port Village, Juno Isles, Hidden Key, Captains Key and Seminole Landing all call the same number. Ask any roofer quoting on a house of this generation what pitch their price assumed, whether the soffit intake was checked as well as the ridge vent, and what condition the fascia behind the drip edge is in. Those three questions separate somebody who measured your roof from somebody who applied a rate to its footprint.
