Roofing in Delray Beach, FL

Delray Beach sits on the coast of southern Palm Beach County, between Boca Raton and Boynton Beach. Its downtown runs along Atlantic Avenue to the ocean, and large villa and condo communities fill much of the area to the west. Apex Roofing Solutions is a roofing company that repairs, replaces and inspects tile, shingle, metal and flat roofs across Delray Beach.

Many Delray Beach villas, townhomes and condo buildings put one roof over several units. Before you call a roofer, check your association documents to see whether the association or the owner is responsible for the roof, because many communities handle roof work for the whole building. A leak in your unit can also start on a neighbor's section and run along the deck before it shows on your ceiling, so we trace the water to where it enters instead of patching the spot above the stain. When a shared roof needs replacing, associations often replace the whole building at once so the new roof ties together cleanly.

The restaurants along Atlantic Avenue face a roofing problem that houses don't. Grease from kitchen exhaust fans settles on the roof around each fan, and over time it softens and breaks down many roofing membranes, which leads to leaks next to the equipment. A grease containment system under each exhaust fan, along with regular cleaning, protects the membrane. During a commercial roof inspection we check the area around every kitchen exhaust fan and repair damaged membrane before the leak spreads.

If you are buying or selling a home in Delray Beach, the condition of the roof affects both the sale and the buyer's insurance. Many insurers require a four-point inspection on older homes, covering the roof along with the electrical, plumbing and HVAC systems, and a roof near the end of its life can make coverage hard to get. A roof inspection before listing, or during the buyer's inspection period, tells both sides what the roof needs and what it will cost.

Palm Beach County is outside Florida's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so roofing products need Florida Product Approval. We pull the permit from the City of Delray Beach, or from Palm Beach County for addresses outside the city limits, and schedule the inspections.
