Full bathroom remodels across West Palm Beach — permitted through the City's own EPL/Civic Access portal, wind-rated to the county's 170 mph coastal band whenever a window or exterior wall is involved, and coordinated with Historic Preservation Board review in El Cid, Flamingo Park, Old Northwood and Southland Park. CGC1528750 is a Florida STATE-CERTIFIED license, so we contract here without any additional local licensure.

Why Us

State-certified, not just locally registered

Randolph Scott Bell holds Florida STATE-CERTIFIED General Contractor license CGC1528750 — a certification, not a local registration, meaning he may legally contract in any Florida county without additional local licensure. He's also the only Palm Beach County contractor who is also a certified energy engineer, and he inspects every West Palm Beach bathroom job himself. Every remodel carries a written one-year workmanship warranty, and if the scope touches a window we build in the exhaust and waterproofing details that keep humidity out of the wall assembly for years.

Permitting & Wind Load

The City's own EPL/Civic Access portal

West Palm Beach is an incorporated city with its own Development Services Department, Building Division, running a 100% digital permitting platform called EPL (Enterprise Permitting & Licensing) with a customer-facing Civic Access portal for applications, plan review, and inspection scheduling — separate from the Palm Beach County Building Division that handles unincorporated areas like Loxahatchee. A bathroom remodel touching plumbing rough-in, electrical, venting, or an exterior wall needs a City permit; a licensed contractor must hold it and be present at final inspection. We submit and track every West Palm Beach bathroom remodel through Civic Access.

West Palm Beach's coastal core along the Intracoastal falls in the 170 mph Wind-Borne Debris Region band per Palm Beach County's Figure 1609.3(1) ultimate design wind speed map (Risk Category II, Exposure C) — the same top-tier coastal reading as the rest of the county's Atlantic-facing shoreline. For a bathroom remodel that mostly matters when a project touches an exterior window (a bath window enlarged or relocated) or an exterior wall; interior-only tile, vanity, and fixture work carries no wind-rating requirement. We confirm the product approval for your address before we quote.

Communities & Historic Preservation

El Cid to Old Northwood

El Cid, Flamingo Park, Old Northwood Historic District, and Southland Park are designated City of West Palm Beach Historic Preservation districts. The City's Historic Preservation Board must approve exterior changes — including window and door profile — before a permit is finaled in these four districts, and that matters for a bathroom remodel whenever an exterior window is being resized or replaced. Homes outside those historic districts follow standard City permitting unless the specific property sits in a private HOA. We prepare the profile and material submittal the Board expects and coordinate it alongside the City's EPL permit so the project doesn't stall between the two.

Proof

What we can — and can't — claim in West Palm Beach

Our one confirmed West Palm Beach project on the project-to-city ledger is a structural beam and lintel restoration over a patio opening (2025) — concrete restoration, not a bathroom remodel, and we won't imply otherwise. In the owner's own words: “This is a concrete restoration project we had to do with a permit in West Palm Beach. The permit was pulled through the Palm Beach County Building Department.” It's fair evidence of documented CGC1528750 project history in this city, nothing more. For bathroom remodeling itself, we lead with the credential stack: Florida STATE-CERTIFIED General Contractor license CGC1528750 — contracts in any Florida county without additional local licensure — EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm #NAT-F122701-2, and BBB A+ accreditation. We hold the Palm Beach County Business Tax Receipt; there is no West Palm Beach-specific receipt on our confirmed list, and we say so plainly rather than claim one.

Questions, Answered

West Palm Beach bathroom remodeling, frequently asked

Do I need a City permit for a bathroom remodel in West Palm Beach?

In most cases, yes. West Palm Beach is an incorporated city with its own Development Services Department, Building Division, running a 100% digital permitting platform called EPL (Enterprise Permitting & Licensing) with a customer-facing Civic Access portal for applications, plan review and inspection scheduling — separate from the Palm Beach County Building Division that handles unincorporated areas like Loxahatchee. A bathroom remodel touching plumbing rough-in, electrical, venting, or an exterior wall needs a City permit. We submit through Civic Access and carry the job through final inspection.

Does a bathroom window change in El Cid or Old Northwood need Historic Preservation Board approval?

Yes. El Cid, Flamingo Park, Old Northwood Historic District, and Southland Park are designated City of West Palm Beach Historic Preservation districts, and the City's Historic Preservation Board must approve exterior changes — including window and door profile — before a permit is finaled, whenever a bathroom remodel enlarges or relocates an exterior window. Homes outside those historic districts follow standard City permitting unless the specific property sits in a private HOA.

What wind rating applies to a bathroom window replacement in West Palm Beach?

West Palm Beach's coastal core along the Intracoastal falls in the 170 mph Wind-Borne Debris Region band per Palm Beach County's Figure 1609.3(1) ultimate design wind speed map (Risk Category II, Exposure C) — the same top-tier coastal reading as the rest of the county's Atlantic-facing shoreline. This matters for a bathroom remodel mainly when the project touches an exterior window or wall; interior-only work such as tile, vanities, and fixtures carries no wind-rating requirement.

How much does a bathroom remodel cost in West Palm Beach?

It depends on scope, fixtures, and whether a window or wall is involved — every bathroom is different, and we won't quote a number without a scope in hand. Call (561) 779-3213 for a free estimate.

Are you licensed to remodel bathrooms in West Palm Beach?

Yes. Randolph Scott Bell holds Florida STATE-CERTIFIED General Contractor license CGC1528750 — a certification, not a local registration, meaning he may contract in any Florida county without additional local licensure. Bell Engineering and Construction Corporation is also an EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm (#NAT-F122701-2) and BBB A+ accredited. We hold the Palm Beach County Business Tax Receipt; there is no West Palm Beach-specific receipt on our confirmed list, and we say so plainly rather than omit it.

Have you worked in West Palm Beach before?

Yes, though not a bathroom remodel: our one confirmed West Palm Beach project on record is a structural beam and lintel restoration over a patio opening (2025), a concrete-restoration job. It's documented history with CGC1528750 in this city, not evidence of bathroom-remodeling work, and we label it exactly that way. For bathroom remodeling specifically, we lead with the credential stack: CGC1528750, EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm #NAT-F122701-2, and BBB A+ accreditation.
