Who issues home remodeling permits in Palm Beach Gardens, and how much do they cost?
The City of Palm Beach Gardens Building Division at 10500 N Military Trail (561-799-4210) issues its own permits, separate from unincorporated Palm Beach County. The City publishes a fee estimator so the permit cost is visible before you ever file, and a licensed contractor must hold the permit and be present at final inspection. We prepare the submittal and carry it through the City's process rather than leaving that step to the homeowner.
What wind speed does my remodel need to meet in Palm Beach Gardens?
All of Palm Beach Gardens sits inside the Florida Building Code's Wind-Borne Debris Region, but wind speed is not one number citywide. Inland parcels are generally engineered to roughly 160 mph, while parcels closer to the Intracoastal see design pressures climb toward 170 mph or higher as exposure shifts from a wooded interior street to open water. We confirm the contour for your exact parcel before we quote any addition, window or door opening the remodel creates.
Does my remodel need architectural review committee approval in PGA National, BallenIsles or Mirasol?
If the work is visible from the street, almost certainly yes. PGA National, BallenIsles and Mirasol all run strict architectural review committees that must clear exterior changes — an addition, a new roofline, exterior door or window changes — before the City permit can be finaled. Interior-only remodel work generally doesn't trigger ARC review; we scope your project against that line before drawing permit documents so you know which path you're on.
Are you licensed and insured for home remodeling in Palm Beach Gardens?
Yes. Bell Engineering and Construction Corporation holds Florida Certified General Contractor license CGC1528750 and Certified Roofing Contractor license CCC1332751 — both STATE certifications requiring no additional local licensure — plus EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm registration #NAT-F122701-2 and BBB A+ accreditation. There is no Palm Beach Gardens Business Tax Receipt on our confirmed list, so we don't claim one; the credential stack is what we lead with here.
Do you offer financing for a Palm Beach Gardens home 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 a window, door or roof scope. Ask us about eligibility.
