Remodels built for the City's code — and its Historic Preservation Board.

Why Us

The only Delray 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 Delray Beach remodel himself, and every job carries a written one-year workmanship warranty. While the walls are open, we specify the insulation, air-sealing and window details that keep a Delray Beach home comfortable and efficient for decades, not just finished.

Permitting & Wind Load

eServices, ePlans, and the City's own rulebook

Delray Beach is an incorporated city with its own Development Services Building Division at 100 NW 1st Avenue (561-243-7200), separate from unincorporated Palm Beach County. The City has been rolling out its eServices portal for online applications alongside an ePlans digital plan-review system as more permit types come online. A remodel that touches structure, electrical, plumbing, mechanical systems, or the building envelope needs a City permit, and a licensed contractor must hold that permit and be present at final inspection.

All of Delray Beach sits inside the Wind-Borne Debris Region. Oceanfront and Intracoastal parcels sit in the same roughly 170 mph-and-up Risk Category II contour that runs the coast, matching neighboring Boynton Beach to the north, stepping down toward the mid-160s moving inland toward I-95. A whole-home remodel that touches the exterior envelope — windows, doors, roofline — carries its own Florida Product Approval rated to the parcel's actual pressure. We confirm that approval for your specific address before we quote.

Historic Districts & HOA

Del-Ida Park to Kings Point

A whole-home remodel touching the exterior of a contributing structure in Del-Ida Park (1923-platted Mediterranean Revival and Craftsman Bungalow homes), the Old School Square Historic Arts District, Nassau Park, the Marina Historic District, or the West Settlers Historic District needs a Certificate of Appropriateness from the City's Historic Preservation Board — material, profile and color are commonly part of that review, strictest on Del-Ida Park's 1923 bungalows. Kings Point and Rainberry Bay, both large 55+ gated communities, separately run their own condo or HOA architectural approval on exterior changes, independent of the historic-district process. Lake Ida and Osceola Park, and the canal-front lots of Tropic Isle, don't carry that historic or association-review layer, so remodels there move on the City permit alone. We confirm which review, if any, applies to your address before we finalize a design.

Proof

What we can — and can't — claim in Delray Beach

No confirmed Delray Beach project of any service type is on our project-to-city ledger yet, and we won't invent one to fill this space. We lead entirely 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 Delray Beach municipal receipt on our confirmed list, and we say so plainly rather than claim one.
