Why Us

The only Loxahatchee contractor who is also a certified energy engineer

What We Build

Remodeling for acreage lots & growing families

Permitting

Which building department signs your job

Before we write a scope, we settle who your building department actually is — it changes the whole submittal. Unincorporated Acreage parcels go to Palm Beach County's Planning, Zoning & Building Division at 2300 North Jog Road, or the county's ePZB portal. Loxahatchee Groves runs its own electronic permitting from Town Hall on F Road, a system the Town brought in-house in 2022. Westlake, incorporated 2016, issues through its own Building Department. Structural scopes — additions, wall removal, garage conversions — all three offices will want plans signed and sealed by a Florida-licensed engineer where the work touches load-bearing framing, and Florida requires a recorded Notice of Commencement on jobs above the statutory dollar threshold, which we handle as part of the paperwork.

If the remodel adds or replaces an exterior opening — a new window for the addition, a slider off the family room — that unit needs a Florida Product Approval rated for this part of the county's Wind-Borne Debris Region, generally 140-160 mph. We fold that approval into the same permit package rather than treating it as an afterthought.

Housing Stock & HOA

Room to grow on an acre, or a board to ask first

Most of the remodels we scope out here are on 1970s-1990s concrete-block houses sitting on acre-plus Acreage lots with no HOA at all — which means a room addition, garage conversion, or floor-plan opening-up is largely a conversation between the homeowner, the county, and the structure, not a design-review board. That freedom is a big part of why additions pencil out better here than in a platted subdivision.

Cross into Westlake — Minto's build-out since 2017 on the old Callery-Judge grove — or one of the newer custom Acreage communities, and an HOA or ARB typically wants to see exterior changes, roofline modifications, and anything visible from the street before the permit gets pulled. We prepare that package alongside the building department submittal so the two don't stall each other.

Proof

Honest about the ledger, confident about the license

If you ask whether we've named-and-photographed a whole-home remodel in Loxahatchee specifically, the honest answer is not yet on our public record — and we'd rather tell you that than dress up a generic job as a local one. What's verifiable instead is the license doing the work: General Contractor CGC1528750, EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm #NAT-F122701-2 for the pre-1978 homes common out here, and BBB A+ accreditation.

The address does the rest of the talking: 16140 Okeechobee Blvd, Loxahatchee, is the shop, not a marketing pin. We hold the Palm Beach County Business Tax Receipt and stop there, since a Loxahatchee Groves-specific receipt is still an open question between the Town and the county.

Questions, Answered

Loxahatchee & Acreage home remodeling, frequently asked

Which jurisdiction issues my remodel permit in Loxahatchee or The Acreage?

It depends on the parcel. The 33470 ZIP code spans several jurisdictions — most of The Acreage and the surrounding areas mailed as Loxahatchee are unincorporated Palm Beach County, and permits go through the county's Planning, Zoning & Building Division at 2300 North Jog Road, West Palm Beach, or online via the county's ePZB portal. The Town of Loxahatchee Groves is its own municipality — it took building operations in-house in 2022 and issues its own permits electronically from Town Hall on F Road. The City of Westlake, incorporated in 2016, runs its own Building Department. We confirm the exact jurisdiction from the parcel record before we quote.

Do additions or exterior changes in Loxahatchee need to meet a specific wind standard?

Yes. All of Palm Beach County, including the western communities, sits in the Florida Building Code's Wind-Borne Debris Region. Design wind speeds in this part of the county generally run in the 140-160 mph range depending on code edition and risk category. Any new exterior openings, windows, or doors added or changed during a remodel must carry a valid Florida Product Approval rated to that standard.

Do I need HOA approval to remodel in Westlake or The Acreage?

Usually only in Westlake and the newer custom communities. Westlake and newer custom-built Acreage homes commonly run HOA/ARB architectural-review requirements governing exterior changes, additions, and roofline modifications, which we coordinate alongside the permit. Most Acreage acre-plus lots carry no HOA at all.

Do you have a named Loxahatchee remodeling project?

There is no confirmed named remodeling project in Loxahatchee on our record, and we won't invent one. What we do have that no competitor can claim: our actual shop is at 16140 Okeechobee Blvd, Loxahatchee, FL 33470 — this isn't a service area for us, it's the street the crew lives on. We lead with our CGC1528750 credential for remodeling work specifically.

Are you licensed and insured to remodel homes in Loxahatchee?

Yes. Bell Engineering and Construction Corporation holds Florida Certified General Contractor license CGC1528750 — a statewide certification requiring no additional local licensure — is fully insured, is an EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm (#NAT-F122701-2), is BBB A+ accredited, and holds a Palm Beach County Business Tax Receipt. We claim only that county receipt here, not a Loxahatchee-specific one, since that's unresolved between unincorporated PBC and the Town of Loxahatchee Groves.

Do you offer financing for a Loxahatchee remodel?

Financing is available through our partner Renew Financial's RenewPACE program, designed for energy and storm-protection upgrades like impact windows and new roofs — relevant if your remodel includes those items. Ask us about eligibility.
