Why Us
Randolph Scott Bell is the only Palm Beach County contractor who is also a certified energy engineer — the owner inspects every job, concrete restoration included. Every restoration carries a written one-year workmanship warranty.
What We Restore
Spalling and delamination repair, rebar cleaning, treatment and replacement, driveways and flatwork, pool decks and lanais, walkways and ramps, and concrete stairs, new or rebuilt.
Local Conditions
Lake Worth sits close to the coast, on sandy ground with a shallow water table. Salt in the air and moisture in the soil keep slabs and decks damp, and the steel inside them rusts. As the rust swells it pushes the concrete off in layers or chunks, which is spalling, and it is the failure we are called for most.
The housing stock is mixed. Bungalows and early block homes from the first half of the last century sit near the 1970s ranches west of Dixie Highway, with their original driveways, patios and pool decks. Concrete that has been in the ground for fifty years or more has seen a lot of wet and dry seasons, and it often needs the steel treated and not just a surface patch.
Many Lake Worth lots are narrow city lots with little room for a truck or a mixer. We plan access, staging and where the debris goes before the crew arrives, so the job does not turn into a neighbour’s problem.
Permitting
People say “Lake Worth” for two different places. Lake Worth Beach is an incorporated city with its own Building Division at 1900 2nd Avenue North and its own online permitting portal. The unincorporated area west of it goes through the Palm Beach County Building Division. Structural concrete repair needs a permit and a licensed contractor to hold it, and we confirm the right office and whether your scope needs one before we write the contract.
Lake Worth sits inside the Florida Building Code’s Wind-Borne Debris Region, so a repair that ties new steel and pour into an existing structural member has to meet the wind-load and product-approval documentation the office reviews. Inside a Lake Worth Beach local historic district, such as College Park or Old Lucerne, exterior work can also need a Certificate of Appropriateness alongside the permit. We confirm all of this for your address before we quote.
Proof
In 2025 we poured a concrete floor as part of a garage-to-office conversion in Lake Worth, recorded on our garage conversion page. We do not have a named, photographed concrete restoration project in Lake Worth on record, so for restoration we lead with the credential stack: Florida Certified General Contractor CGC1528750, Certified Roofing Contractor CCC1332751, EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm #NAT-F122701-2 and BBB A+ accreditation. Our documented concrete work includes concrete stair construction (2021) and a structural carport repair (2025); neither is tied to a city in our records.
Questions, Answered
It depends on the scope and on which side of the line your address sits. Lake Worth Beach is an incorporated city with its own Building Division at 1900 2nd Avenue North, while addresses in the unincorporated area west of it go through the Palm Beach County Building Division. Structural concrete repair needs a permit and a licensed contractor to hold it, and a straightforward resurfacing may not. We confirm the jurisdiction and the scope before we write the contract.
Lake Worth sits inside the Florida Building Code's Wind-Borne Debris Region. When a repair ties new steel and pour into an existing structural member, the tie-in has to meet the wind-load and product-approval documentation the permitting office reviews. Rather than publish a figure that could be out of date, we confirm the current requirements for your address with the right office before we quote.
Salt air, a shallow water table and years of wet-dry cycles let moisture reach the steel inside a slab. The rebar rusts and swells, and it pushes the concrete off in chunks. A patch placed over active spalling without treating the steel first will crack loose again, so we cut out the damage, treat or replace the steel and then rebuild the section.
It can be. Exterior work inside a local historic district, such as College Park or Old Lucerne, can require a Certificate of Appropriateness alongside the building permit. We ask which district the property is in at the start, so that review is part of the schedule from the first estimate.
It depends on how deep the damage goes, how much steel needs treating and whether the work is structural, so we do not put a number on it before looking. We inspect, explain what we find and give you a written estimate. Estimates are free.
