ThxPosted on James YonkersTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would recommend this company, for promptness and professionalism. Need to wait and see on repairs, as it hasn't rain hard yet, but images of repairs, finished, appear fine.Posted on Erik GonzalezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mike McGilvary Roofing was a lifesaver. I needed a few cracked roof tiles replaced/repaired for insurance purposes and I was on an extremely tight timeline. Mike was responsive, professional, and was able to squeeze me in quickly without cutting corners. The work was done efficiently, everything was clearly communicated, and the roof looks great. I’d absolutely recommend them to anyone who needs roofing work done—especially if you’re up against a deadline.Posted on Pam MooreTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They were truly Wonderful, quick, efficient and clean up was immaculate. We Highly recommend them the for their quality work and attention to detail. We have had several home improvements and an Air Conditioner replaced Mike McGilvary Roofing was far and above the best experience of all.Posted on Abigail CarrerasTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mike fixed my roof; a part of it was leaking and needed to be replaced. He sent his team, they “professionally” removed the damaged part and replaced the area in in a matter of hours! I am very happy with the results and recommend his company to anyone needing roof repair or replacement!Posted on Karen MossTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It was great that he got back to me quickly and I didn’t have to wait a long time to get the job done. He was great with communicating and sharing pictures before and after the job was completed.Posted on Deb HartTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Update: (January, 2026) Mike's crew just installed a roof vent for a new bathroom exhaust fan, and our second experience with him and his company was just as great as our first. The work was completed very promptly and at a fair price. His crew was efficient, friendly, and left the property immaculate after the work was done. Thank you once again, Mike! Original Review: (May, 2025) Shortly after moving into our new home we noticed honey bees flying around the soffit. To make a long story short, we contacted a local beekeeper who discovered a large bee hive in the bedroom wall which ultimately involved removal through the roof as well as the wall. Being new to the area, we didn't know who to contact to do the roof repairs. Our beekeeper recommended Mike McGilvary Roofing and we are so glad he did. Mike was able to get us scheduled for the repair very soon after the hive was removed. His crew arrived promptly and completed the repair quickly. We had been concerned about the new shingles matching as our existing shingles have been discontinued, but the new ones match so perfectly that it is impossible to see where the repair has been done. We greatly appreciate your services, Mike. Please pass our thanks on to Travis for his hard work and for doing such a great job. You will be our first call for any roofing needs we have in the future.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.

Professional Roof Repair Services in Palm Beach County
Most roofs don't need replacement - they need expert repair. Mike McGilvary Roofing specializes in professional roof repair services for residential and commercial properties throughout Palm Beach County. Since 1974, we've helped thousands of property owners save tens of thousands of dollars by repairing rather than replacing perfectly good roof systems.
Whether you own a single-family home, manage a commercial building, or operate an industrial facility, we provide comprehensive roof repair services backed by decades of experience, Florida licensing (CCC1331721), and a repair-first philosophy that puts your needs ahead of our profits.
🎯 The Repair-First Difference
The roofing industry has a problem: too many contractors push expensive full replacements when targeted repairs would solve the problem at a fraction of the cost. We're different. We assess what your roof actually needs, explain your options clearly, and recommend the most cost-effective solution - even if that means we make less money.
Our 2-year workmanship warranty (double the industry standard) and 5-year roof certifications prove we stand behind our repair work. We're not here to sell you a new roof you don't need - we're here to fix the roof you have.

Why Choose Roof Repair Over Replacement?
💰 Dramatic Cost Savings
Roof repairs typically cost $1,500-$8,000 while full replacements run $15,000-$75,000+ in Palm Beach County. If your roof's primary structure and most materials are sound, repair makes financial sense.
⏱️ Faster Completion
Most roof repairs are completed in 1-3 days. Full replacements take 7-14 days and require extensive preparation, tearoff, and reinstallation. Get your property protected faster with targeted repairs.
🌍 Environmental Benefits
Avoiding premature roof replacement keeps tons of materials out of landfills. Repair extends your roof's lifespan using fewer resources and less energy than manufacturing and installing all new materials.
🏠 Preserve Architectural Integrity
Historic homes with original clay tile or unique architectural features benefit from repair that preserves authenticity. Replacement with modern materials can compromise character and reduce property value.
📋 Maintain Roof Warranties
Many roof systems have remaining manufacturer warranties that transfer to new owners. Unnecessary replacement voids these warranties. Professional repair maintains coverage.
✓ Proven Long-Term Solution
When done correctly with quality materials, roof repairs provide 10-20+ years of additional service life. Our 2-year workmanship warranty and 5-year certifications prove repairs work long-term.

Frequently Asked Questions About Roof Repair
How much does roof repair cost in Palm Beach County?
Roof repair costs in Palm Beach County typically range from $800-$8,000 depending on the extent of damage and roof system complexity. Minor repairs like replacing a few broken tiles or sealing small leaks cost $800-$2,500. More comprehensive repairs addressing underlayment, multiple damaged areas, or structural issues run $3,000-$8,000. This is still dramatically less expensive than full roof replacement which costs $15,000-$75,000+ for most properties. We provide free inspections and detailed written estimates so you know exactly what to expect before work begins. Call (561) 856-5060 to schedule your free assessment.
How long does roof repair take?
Most roof repairs in Palm Beach County are completed in 1-3 days depending on project scope and weather conditions. Simple repairs like fixing leaks or replacing damaged tiles are often done in a single day. More extensive repairs involving underlayment work, multiple roof areas, or structural components typically take 2-3 days. Emergency repairs receive same-day response with temporary weatherproofing completed immediately and permanent repairs scheduled as soon as conditions allow. Compare this to 7-14 days for full roof replacement - you're back to normal much faster with professional repair.
Should I repair or replace my roof?
Most roofs can and should be repaired rather than replaced. Full replacement is typically necessary only when: (1) the roof has reached or exceeded its expected lifespan (20-25 years for shingles, 40-50+ years for tile), (2) damage is so extensive that repair costs approach replacement costs, (3) the entire underlayment system has failed throughout, or (4) structural issues affect the entire roof deck. Our experience shows that 70-80% of roofs diagnosed as "needing replacement" by salesmen actually just need targeted repairs. We provide honest assessments during free inspections and will tell you truthfully if replacement is genuinely needed. We recommend repair whenever it's the most cost-effective solution, even if replacement would be more profitable for us.
Do you repair all types of roofs?
Yes, we repair every roofing system common in Palm Beach County including tile roofs (clay and concrete), shingle roofs (asphalt and architectural), flat roofs (TPO, EPDM, PVC, modified bitumen, built-up roofing), metal roofs (standing seam and corrugated), and low-slope commercial systems. We work on residential properties (single-family homes, townhomes, condominiums) and commercial buildings (office buildings, retail centers, warehouses, industrial facilities). Our technicians have specialized training in each roof system type and use appropriate materials and techniques for lasting repairs.
What warranty do you provide on roof repairs?
All roof repair work is backed by our 2-year workmanship warranty covering our labor and installation techniques. This is double the industry standard 1-year warranty and demonstrates our confidence in repair quality. The warranty guarantees that work we performed will remain watertight and structurally sound. Additionally, we can provide 5-year roof certifications - comprehensive professional assessments that document your roof's condition and expected remaining lifespan. These certifications satisfy Florida insurance company requirements for coverage and enable real estate transactions. The 2-year warranty covers our work; the 5-year certification documents overall roof condition.
Can you help with insurance claims for roof damage?
Yes, we assist with insurance claims for storm damage, hurricane impact, and other covered events. Our comprehensive documentation includes high-resolution photographs, thermal imaging evidence, detailed damage descriptions, scope of necessary repairs, and cost estimates formatted for insurance adjusters. We understand Florida insurance requirements and can help you navigate the claims process. For storm-related damage, we provide immediate emergency tarping and temporary weatherproofing to prevent further damage, then document everything for your claim. Many insurance companies now require professional roof certifications after repairs are completed - we provide these as well. While we can't guarantee insurance approval, our thorough documentation significantly improves claim success rates.
How do I know if my roof needs repair?
Common signs your roof needs repair include: interior water stains or active leaks, missing or broken tiles/shingles, visible daylight through roof deck, sagging or uneven roof areas, damaged or missing flashing around chimneys and vents, granule loss on shingles, cracked or deteriorated caulking/sealant, water pooling on flat roofs, or increased energy bills suggesting insulation problems. However, many serious issues are invisible from the ground. That's why we offer free professional inspections using thermal imaging technology to detect hidden moisture and damage. Don't wait for visible problems to appear - preventive inspection and early repair prevent small issues from becoming expensive disasters. Call (561) 856-5060 to schedule your free inspection today.
Do you offer emergency roof repair services?
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency roof repair services throughout Palm Beach County with response times of 30-90 minutes for urgent situations. Emergency services include immediate leak mitigation, tarping and temporary weatherproofing, storm damage assessment, and coordination with your insurance company. We understand that roof emergencies don't follow business hours - active leaks can cause thousands of dollars in interior damage within hours. Our emergency response prioritizes rapid stabilization to protect your property, followed by permanent repairs scheduled as soon as conditions allow. We're available around the clock during hurricane season and major weather events. For immediate emergency assistance, call (561) 856-5060 anytime.
