Roof repair in Jupiter — repair first, replace only when necessary.
Jupiter is Palm Beach County's premier northern coastal community — from oceanfront estates near Jupiter Island to exclusive golf communities like Admirals Cove and the Loxahatchee Club, with roofs that face salt air, wind, and the highest standards. Since 1974, Mike McGilvary Roofing has repaired Jupiter roofs the right way — inspecting first, documenting properly, and recommending replacement only when it's truly warranted.

Jupiter roofs aren't generic — and neither is the repair.
Jupiter's coastal and waterfront properties take direct salt-air and wind exposure, and its luxury communities expect flawless, matched, documented work. We inspect first with attic thermal imaging, repair to the cause, and preserve the 60–80% of the roof that's still sound — saving Jupiter owners a replacement they don't need.
A free, documented inspection settles repair-vs-replace with evidence, backed by a 2-year workmanship warranty and an optional 5-Year Roof Certification that documents your roof's remaining useful life for insurance.
The repairs Jupiter roofs actually need.
Local conditions drive local failures — here's what we find most.
What Jupiter's climate does to a roof
Jupiter's coastal and waterfront properties take direct salt-air and wind exposure, and its luxury communities expect flawless, matched, documented work. Caught early, each of these is a targeted repair — a flashing joint, a valley, a cracked tile or lifted shingle — not a tear-off.
Why most Jupiter roofs are a repair
On most Jupiter roofs only a fraction has failed; the rest has years of life left. We find the true cause with thermal imaging and fix it — and document the condition for insurance, which matters more every renewal in Florida.
Whatever the roof, we repair the cause.

The crew that shows up — since 1974.
Half a century of Palm Beach County roofs, repaired by a family-owned crew that answers its own phone — inspecting first, documenting properly, and fixing the cause.


Specialized technique — so we fix the roof without breaking the tiles.
Free inspection
We walk the roof on weight-distributing boards, photograph broken tiles, and use attic thermal imaging to find hidden underlayment moisture — then tell you honestly whether you need a repair or a replacement.
Tile matching
We photograph and measure your tiles and source matches — common profiles in days, discontinued in 3–6 weeks, custom reproductions in 8–12 weeks — with cost options from "close enough" to exact.
Detailed proposal
A written estimate separating tile, labor, underlayment, valley/flashing, and structural work — with minimum, recommended, and comprehensive options, timeline, and warranty all spelled out.
Expert repair
Tiles staged and numbered, failed underlayment fully replaced to code, marine-grade valley metal, proper mechanical fasteners — backed by full photo documentation and a 2-year workmanship warranty.
What tile roof repair actually costs in Palm Beach County.
Real ranges, not a sales pitch — because the right answer is usually a fraction of a replacement.
$800 – $12,000
Minor tile replacement runs $800–$2,500; a valley with new metal liner and adjacent tile work $2,500–$6,000; a section of underlayment (200–500 sq ft) $4,500–$12,000.
$12,000 – $28,000
Full underlayment replacement reusing your existing tiles — versus $35,000–$75,000+ for a complete tear-off with new tiles. You save $20,000–$45,000 and gain another 20–25 years.
A deferred $8,000 underlayment repair becomes a $55,000 emergency replacement once leaks rot the decking — and Florida insurers increasingly non-renew tile roofs with visible maintenance deficiencies. Roof age and condition now drive coverage decisions under Florida's Roof Age Law (§627.7011), and a documented repair plus an optional 5-Year Roof Certification is often what keeps a policy in force.
Real homes. Real documentation.
Short walkthroughs from real Palm Beach County projects — what Mike found, what he documented, and the work that followed. Outcomes vary by roof; nothing here is a guarantee of any insurance result.
The Drummond Roof
An insurance review prompted a closer look. Documentation of the tile system's actual condition may help the homeowner make an informed decision — repair, rebuild, or replacement.
The Amber Roof
Full condition documentation of an older tile roof. Thorough records of repairability and remaining useful life may be useful for insurance and future planning.
The Wellington Rebuild
A section rebuild that preserved most of the existing roof — replacing the failed underlayment, valley metal, and damaged tile instead of a full tear-off.
