New This Week
from Construction

Two new pages this week, each answering the question a homeowner in that town actually asks: who permits the work, and what is different about the ground you are working on.

Concrete stair construction and restoration work by Bell Engineering & Construction in Palm Beach County

I hold a Florida general contractor licence (CGC1528750) and a roofing licence (CCC1332751). This week the construction pages added two towns where the rules are different from the ones next door. Neither page claims a job we have not done; both rest on the licence and on how the place is actually governed.

Concrete restoration in Delray Beach: a city permit, and sometimes a historic board

The question: who do I have to go through to repair spalling concrete in Delray Beach? The local fact: Delray Beach is an incorporated city with its own Development Services Building Division, not unincorporated Palm Beach County. Structural work such as a carport or lanai beam needs a City permit, and visible exterior concrete on a contributing structure in a historic district such as Del-Ida Park can also need a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Historic Preservation Board. Older condo buildings raise the milestone inspection question as well. Read the Delray Beach concrete restoration page →

Demolition in Loxahatchee: the county permits it, and a survey comes first

The question: what has to happen before a structure on a Loxahatchee lot can come down? The local fact: Loxahatchee is unincorporated Palm Beach County, so a demolition permit runs through the county Building Division, while the Town of Loxahatchee Groves issues its own. Utilities have to be disconnected, Florida requires an asbestos survey before most demolition, and anything built before 1978 can hide lead paint. Our shop is at 16140 Okeechobee Blvd in Loxahatchee, so this is the lot type we know first-hand: one-acre-plus parcels, long driveways and roadside swales. Read the Loxahatchee demolition page →

Also new: The Acreage

Our new concrete restoration page for The Acreage covers the county permit, the Indian Trail Improvement District's role at the road edge, and working around wells and septic on acre-plus lots.

Because these are new pages for new towns, the honest line is this: we have no documented job in Delray Beach, Loxahatchee or The Acreage to show you yet, and we say so on each page. We do not publish prices; call for a quote at (561) 779-3213. Concrete jobs carry a written one-year workmanship warranty.

New This Week — FAQ

Who permits concrete restoration in Delray Beach?

Delray Beach is an incorporated city with its own Development Services Building Division, separate from unincorporated Palm Beach County. Structural concrete repair generally needs a City permit, and visible exterior work in a historic district can also need a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Historic Preservation Board.

Who permits demolition in Loxahatchee?

Loxahatchee is unincorporated Palm Beach County, so a demolition permit for a house or detached structure runs through the Palm Beach County Building Division. The Town of Loxahatchee Groves issues its own permits. Utilities must be disconnected first, and Florida requires an asbestos survey before most demolition.

Do you have a documented job in Delray Beach or Loxahatchee?

No. Neither page claims a local project, and we do not borrow one from another town. The pages rest on our licences and on the local permit facts.
