Roof repair in Palm Beach Gardens — repair first, replace only when necessary.
Palm Beach Gardens is South Florida's premier golf-community address — PGA National, Mirasol, BallenIsles, Frenchman's Reserve, Old Palm, Alton, and Evergrene — where premium tile and flat roofs sit under strict HOA and architectural-review standards, and the wear comes from inland heat and UV rather than salt. Drawing on a McGilvary family legacy of licensed roofing since 1974, Mike McGilvary Roofing has repaired Palm Beach Gardens roofs the right way — inspecting first, documenting properly, preserving what's sound, and recommending replacement only when it's truly warranted.

Accredited · Certified · Recognized · A McGilvary Family Legacy of Licensed Roofing in Palm Beach County Since 1974
Palm Beach Gardens roofs aren't generic — and neither is the repair.
The Gardens' upscale golf and gated communities — PGA National, Mirasol, BallenIsles, Old Palm, Frenchman's Reserve — expect flawless, documented work that meets HOA and architectural-review standards, and its inland location ages roofs through relentless heat and UV rather than salt. On the premium tile roofs here, the tile itself often has decades left; it is the underlayment beneath that ages out. We inspect first with attic thermal imaging, repair to the cause, preserve the parts of the roof that are still sound, and provide the documentation homeowners, HOAs, and insurers expect — saving Palm Beach Gardens 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 Palm Beach Gardens roofs actually need.
Local conditions drive local failures — here's what we find most.
What the Gardens' inland climate does to a roof
Away from the coast, the enemy is relentless sun, heat, and UV — which dry out and crack underlayment, bake sealants, and lift tile and shingle over time — plus heavy summer rain and hurricane season. Caught early, each of these is a targeted repair — a flashing joint, a valley, a cracked tile, or a re-bedded ridge — not the tear-off a golf-community roof rarely needs.
Repair first — replace only when necessary
We inspect first and evaluate whether repairs or targeted rebuilding can extend the roof's useful life before recommending full replacement. Failure on an established Palm Beach Gardens roof is usually concentrated where water runs hardest; we find the true cause with thermal imaging, fix it, and document the roof's condition and remaining useful life in writing — documentation that may be useful when an insurer reviews an older roof.

Everything a Palm Beach Gardens roof needs — from one repair-first team.
Repair first, preserve when possible, replace only when necessary. Here is how that philosophy applies to every service we bring to Palm Beach Gardens homeowners and HOA-governed golf communities — with the documentation and architectural consistency the Gardens expects.
Roof repair in Palm Beach Gardens
Tile, flat, and shingle repair done to the cause — flashing, valleys, underlayment, and storm damage — on estate and golf-community roofs from PGA National to Old Palm. We preserve the sound majority of the roof and document the work for the homeowner, the HOA, and insurance.
Roof leak repair & detection
Inland heat and wind-driven summer rain find every weak flashing joint, cracked tile, and tired flat-roof seam. We locate the true entry point with attic thermal imaging — not guesswork — then repair to the source and document the moisture before it rots decking.
Tile & clay-tile roof repair
Concrete and clay barrel tile define Palm Beach Gardens' estate and golf-community homes. We repair broken and slipped tile, re-bed ridge and hip caps, and replace failed underlayment beneath sound tile — matching discontinued and community-approved profiles so repairs disappear on architecturally-reviewed elevations.
Flat & low-slope roof repair
Many Gardens homes and PGA Boulevard buildings carry flat and low-slope membrane sections — TPO, modified bitumen, and built-up systems that fail at seams, penetrations, and drains. We repair ponding, blistering, and seam separation and keep the building watertight without a full re-roof.
Tile roof preservation
This is where preservation matters most in the Gardens. Concrete and clay roof tiles can last 50 years or longer with proper installation and maintenance; what usually ages out first is the underlayment beneath under inland UV. Re-underlayment reusing your existing tile preserves the roof, and the architectural look the HOA requires, significantly extending its service life.
5-Year Roof Certifications
Florida insurers increasingly weigh roof condition, not just age. A signed 5-Year Roof Certification documents your Palm Beach Gardens roof's real condition and remaining useful life — the professional evidence that may support a carrier's review or an insurance inspection.
Free roof inspections
Every job starts with a free, documented inspection — thermal imaging, drone documentation, and a written repair-vs-replace comparison with remaining-useful-life findings, the kind of documentation HOA homeowners and insurers expect. No pressure, no automatic tear-off.
24/7 emergency roof repair
When a storm opens a Palm Beach Gardens roof, we respond around the clock to stop the water, tarp, and document the damage — then return for the permanent, matched repair. Call us — your call rings directly to the owner's office and direct line.
Florida Roof Age Law guidance
Under Florida Statute §627.7011, a roof that is at least 15 years old may be inspected by an insurer-approved authorized inspector; if it has five or more years of remaining useful life, an insurer cannot refuse to issue or renew solely because of the roof's age. We document an older Palm Beach Gardens roof's condition so you and your agent have the evidence — inspection results do not guarantee coverage.
HOA & luxury-community roofing
The Gardens' gated and golf communities expect careful documentation, architectural consistency, and matched, high-quality repairs. We work within HOA and architectural-review standards routinely — preserving existing tile systems, matching approved profiles, and giving boards and homeowners the paperwork they require.
New permitting rules also affect Palm Beach Gardens repairs — see what HB 803 means for roof repairs under $7,500, or read how remaining useful life is documented.

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 determines what a Palm Beach Gardens roof repair actually costs.
We don't publish price ranges, because the honest answer depends on the roof. A written proposal follows every free inspection — itemized, with options, so you can see exactly what you are paying for.
Scope, access, and what's underneath
How many sections have failed and how large they are; whether the deck beneath is sound or has rotted; whether the existing tile is serviceable and suitable for reuse or has to be sourced and matched; the flashing, valley, vent, and penetration details involved; and how the roof is accessed. A single flashing repair and a rebuilt valley with new decking are very different jobs.
The honest comparison, in writing
Our proposal separates tile, labor, underlayment, valley and flashing, and any structural work, with minimum, recommended, and comprehensive options. When targeted rebuilding can extend the roof's useful life, we say so; when the roof system as a whole has reached the end of its life, we say that too — and show you the evidence either way.
Under Florida's roof age law (§627.7011), a homeowner with a roof that is at least 15 years old may obtain an inspection by an insurer-approved authorized inspector before an insurer requires replacement based on age; if the inspection shows five or more years of remaining useful life, the insurer cannot refuse to issue or renew the policy solely because of the roof's age. Inspection results do not guarantee coverage — insurers may still apply other lawful underwriting and property-condition requirements — but a documented repair and an optional 5-Year Roof Certification give you and your agent something real to work with.
