Fencing for the historic district and the 170 mph coast.

Why Us

The only West Palm Beach contractor who is also a certified energy engineer

Randolph Scott Bell is the only Palm Beach County contractor who is also a certified energy engineer — the owner inspects every job himself, fence estimates included. CGC1528750 is a Florida STATE-CERTIFIED license, not merely a state-registered one, meaning he may legally contract in any Florida county, including West Palm Beach, without any additional local licensure. Every fence we build carries a written one-year workmanship warranty.

What We Build

Fencing for the whole property

• Wood privacy & shadowbox fencing
• PVC / vinyl fencing, Historic Preservation Board and HOA-approved styles
• Aluminum & pool-code safety fencing
• Gates: walk, drive & equipment
• Storm-damage fence repair

Permitting & Wind Load

The City's own EPL/Civic Access portal

West Palm Beach is an incorporated city, not unincorporated county — it runs its own Development Services Department, Building Division, separate from the Palm Beach County Building Division that governs unincorporated Loxahatchee. Permits, plan review, and inspection scheduling all run through the City's digital EPL (Enterprise Permitting & Licensing) platform, via its customer-facing Civic Access portal. A licensed contractor must hold the permit and be present at final inspection; we submit and track every West Palm Beach fence job through that same portal.

West Palm Beach sits in the Florida Building Code's Wind-Borne Debris Region — not the Miami-Dade/Broward High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. Per Palm Beach County's Figure 1609.3(1) ultimate design wind speed map (Risk Category II, Exposure C, 3-second gust), the city's coastal core along the Intracoastal falls in the 170 mph band, the same top-tier coastal reading carried along the rest of the county's Atlantic-facing shoreline, stepping down slightly toward the city's western limits. Fence height, material, and post/gate wind-load attachment specs all get checked against your specific parcel's contour before we install.

Communities & Historic Preservation

El Cid to Grandview Heights

We fence El Cid, Flamingo Park, Old Northwood Historic District, Southland Park, Grandview Heights, and the SoSo/Prospect Park area. El Cid, Flamingo Park, Old Northwood, and Southland Park are designated Historic Preservation districts with a City Historic Preservation Board that must approve exterior changes — including fence style and height — before a permit is finaled. We get that Board's written standard in hand before the crew ever shows up and coordinate it alongside the City permit.

Grandview Heights, the SoSo/Prospect Park area, and West Palm Beach neighborhoods generally follow standard City permitting without that extra board unless the specific property sits in a private HOA — a genuinely different approval path than the historic districts, and we treat it as the different scope it is rather than applying one rule to every West Palm Beach address.

Proof

Licensed, insured, state-certified for West Palm Beach

No confirmed named fencing project in West Palm Beach is in our project-to-city ledger yet — our one confirmed named West Palm Beach job on record is a concrete restoration, a different service, so we won't cross-claim it here — so we lead with the credential stack instead: Bell Engineering and Construction Corporation holds Florida STATE-CERTIFIED General Contractor license CGC1528750, is fully insured, is an EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm #NAT-F122701-2, and is BBB A+ accredited. There is no West Palm Beach Business Tax Receipt on our confirmed list, so we don't claim one.
