Demolition contractor Loxahatchee, FL — where our shop already is.

Yes, in almost every case. Most of Loxahatchee and The Acreage is unincorporated Palm Beach County, so a demolition permit for a house, a detached structure, or a load-bearing portion of a building runs through the Palm Beach County Building Division's ePermits system, and utilities must be officially disconnected before anything comes down. The Town of Loxahatchee Groves, which took building operations in-house in 2022, issues its own permits from Town Hall on F Road for property inside its limits. We confirm which jurisdiction your parcel sits in from the parcel record before we write the estimate.

Yes. Florida requires an asbestos survey before most demolition and renovation work, and any home built before 1978 can contain lead paint. Bell Engineering & Construction is an EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm (#NAT-F122701-2), and where a survey calls for it we coordinate licensed abatement before a wall or structure comes down — it protects your family, our crew, and the validity of the permit.

Yes. Randolph Scott Bell holds Florida STATE-CERTIFIED General Contractor license CGC1528750, a state certification that lets us legally contract in any Florida county without additional local licensure, and Bell Engineering & Construction is licensed to operate under our Palm Beach County Business Tax Receipt. We are also an EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm (#NAT-F122701-2) and BBB A+ accredited. Our shop is physically located here at 16140 Okeechobee Blvd, Loxahatchee — this is our home base, not a town we truck a crew into.

The Acreage runs on one-acre-plus lots with long dirt or shell-rock driveways, swales instead of curbed storm drains, and rural road access rather than a subdivision street grid. That changes how equipment and debris trucks reach the structure and how a load-out is staged compared with a tight in-town lot — we plan site access and swale protection before the first piece of equipment moves, the same way we do for our own farm property down the road at 16140 Okeechobee Blvd.

We don't have a named, photographed demolition job in Loxahatchee or The Acreage on our project ledger yet, and we would rather say that plainly than borrow a job from another town. What backs this page instead: Florida STATE-CERTIFIED General Contractor license CGC1528750, EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm status (#NAT-F122701-2) specifically required for pre-1978 demolition work, and the fact that our shop is physically down the road at 16140 Okeechobee Blvd — not trucked in from another county.

Yes — sheds, barns, carports, storm-damaged outbuildings and other detached structures are common on Acreage-sized lots, and each typically needs its own demolition permit and confirmed utility disconnects before it comes down. We pull the permit, coordinate the disconnects, and carry the job through to close-out.

Demolition removes built structures — a house, a barn, a slab, interior walls. Land clearing removes vegetation, stumps, and debris to ready raw acreage. Both are common on the same Loxahatchee-area lot, and on a teardown-to-rebuild we roll straight from demolition into site clearing with our Bobcat T740 and grapple so one crew hands off to the next without a gap.

Always. Every demolition includes load-out, haul-away, and a broom-clean or graded site at the end — concrete, drywall, framing, and fixtures separated for recycling and disposal where we can. On a longer rural driveway that haul-away takes more staging than an in-town lot, and we plan for it rather than surprise you with it mid-job.

Yes — selective demolition is one of our most common jobs. We remove exactly what the plan calls for — a wall, a room, a roof section, an old lanai or outbuilding — while protecting the parts of the property that stay, then tie the new work in cleanly. Because we also build under CGC1528750, the demo is planned around the rebuild, not against it.
