Why Palm Springs Is Different
Palm Springs is an incorporated Village, not unincorporated county land. Demolition permits go through the Village’s own Planning, Zoning & Building Department at 226 Cypress Lane, a different office from the Palm Beach County Building Division that governs places like Loxahatchee and The Acreage. A demolition permit has to be finaled, with the utility disconnects confirmed, before a permit for new construction on the same site can follow. Randolph Scott Bell holds a Florida state-certified general contractor license (CGC1528750), which lets him contract in any Florida county, so we hold the permit, schedule the inspections and close it out.
The Village also sits in the 170 mph design-wind band on Palm Beach County’s Ultimate Design Wind Speed map, which matters on the rebuild side: every new or resized exterior opening that replaces what we remove needs a Florida Product Approved unit rated to that standard. Knowing that before demolition means the opening we cut matches the opening you will order.
Parcels & Associations
Roughly two-thirds of Palm Springs housing is single-family homes on individually owned lots, where the Village permit is the main sign-off and the dumpster and equipment can usually stage on the lot itself. The remaining third is condominium living in communities such as Lake Clarke Gardens, a 55+ community, and Lakeside Village Condominiums. There the association comes first: boards typically ask for a work submittal, a certificate of insurance, restricted hours and an agreed truck route and staging area before anything is opened up, because a gutted unit shares walls, risers and parking with its neighbors.
So we confirm which kind of address you have before we price it. A house teardown and a one-unit interior gut share a trade, not a plan.
Before Anything Comes Down
An asbestos survey comes before demolition or renovation, and a home built before 1978 can carry lead paint on walls, trim and window casings. We are an EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm (#NAT-F122701-2), so containment, lead-safe work practices and cleanup are built into how an older Palm Springs home is scoped and staffed. Where a survey calls for abatement, we coordinate licensed abatement before the first wall comes down. It protects your family, our crew and the permit.
Haul-off & Staging
Concrete and masonry price and tip differently from mixed construction debris, so we sort accordingly. On a house lot we stage the dumpster and equipment on the property; in a condominium community, hours, route and staging are agreed with the association first. When a teardown is followed by a rebuild, the site can roll straight into land clearing and site work in Palm Springs, and the rebuild is covered by a written one-year workmanship warranty.
We have no confirmed Palm Springs demolition project to show you, and we will not dress up other work to sound like one. What we can show is the license, the lead-safe certification and a plan that fits the Village’s rules. For what moves a demolition estimate in general, see our Palm Beach County demolition page.

Once the old structure is out, the next calls are usually a new roof in Palm Springs on the rebuild, HOA and association management in Palm Springs if the work is in a community that needs a board-ready plan, land and site work in Palm Springs to grade the lot, and food truck catering in Palm Springs for the crew lunch or the housewarming. Other towns we demolish in: Lake Worth, Greenacres and West Palm Beach. See our construction services in Palm Springs too.
Questions, Answered
Palm Springs is its own incorporated Village, so the permit comes from the Village's Planning, Zoning & Building Department at 226 Cypress Lane, not from the Palm Beach County Building Division that handles unincorporated land. Our general contractor license is state-certified, so we pull and close the permit for you and carry the job through inspection.
An asbestos survey comes before demolition or renovation work, and a house built before 1978 can also carry lead paint. We are an EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm (#NAT-F122701-2), so older Palm Springs homes are scoped with lead-safe containment from the start, and where a survey calls for abatement we coordinate licensed abatement before a wall comes down.
In a condominium, almost always. Lake Clarke Gardens and Lakeside Village Condominiums are association-governed, and boards usually want a work submittal, a certificate of insurance, set work hours and a plan for where debris and the dumpster go before the Village permit even matters. On a single-family lot the Village permit is the main sign-off. We confirm which one applies to your address before we quote.
Demolition debris is loaded out and hauled away, with concrete, drywall, framing and fixtures separated for recycling and disposal where we can. On a single-family lot the dumpster and equipment stage on your property. In a condominium community the staging area, truck route and hours are set with the association first, so the job does not block a shared drive or parking.
Yes. Selective demolition is common here: a wall, a room, an old lanai or a roof section comes out while the rest of the home is protected with dust barriers. Because we also build, the tear-out is planned around the rebuild, and the new work is tied in cleanly.
It depends on whether the job is selective or a full teardown, the age of the home, permit and utility-disconnect timing, the volume of debris and how equipment can reach the structure. There is no honest flat rate, so every estimate is free and in person. Call (561) 779-3213 and we will walk the site.
