Do I need a Village permit for a home remodel in Royal Palm Beach?
Yes, for anything structural, electrical, plumbing, mechanical, or that touches the building envelope. Royal Palm Beach is an incorporated village, chartered in 1959, with its own Building Division at Village Hall, 1050 Royal Palm Beach Boulevard, offering e-permitting separate from the county and from neighboring Wellington. A licensed contractor must hold the permit and be present at final inspection; we submit and track every remodel through that same e-permitting system.
Do I need HOA approval for a remodel in Madison Green or an older Royal Palm Beach section?
It depends which side of the Village you're on. Madison Green and the newer gated communities — Victoria Grove, Portosol, Bella Terra, Nautica — run architectural-review requirements for exterior changes: additions, new windows, siding color, roofline changes. The older 1960s-80s sections, like the Colony, The Willows and La Mancha, generally don't run that same exterior review for interior-only work. We confirm which side of that line your scope falls on before we permit.
What wind-load standard applies to an addition or new window in a Royal Palm Beach remodel?
Unlike Wellington, all of Royal Palm Beach sits inside the Wind-Borne Debris Region with no lower-zone exception, and design pressures run roughly 140-160 mph village-wide. Any new or resized exterior opening created by an addition or remodel needs a wind-load-rated product carrying a valid Florida Product Approval. We confirm that approval for your address before we quote.
Are you licensed to remodel homes in Royal Palm Beach?
Yes. Randolph Scott Bell holds Florida STATE-CERTIFIED General Contractor license CGC1528750 — a certification, not a local registration, meaning he may contract in any Florida county without additional local licensure. Bell Engineering and Construction Corporation is also an EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm (#NAT-F122701-2), is BBB A+ accredited, and holds a Royal Palm Beach Local Business Tax Receipt — a local business-tax registration, not a contractor license; we hold both.
Have you worked in Royal Palm Beach before?
Yes, though not a whole-home remodel yet, and we won't dress up what we haven't done. Our confirmed 2025 Royal Palm Beach jobs are a concrete beam and built-up roof rebuild plus a resident walkway panel replacement at Greenway Village, and seamless gutters fabricated on site at Strathmore Gate West. It's the same crew that already works in your neighborhood, and for home remodeling specifically we lead with that track record and the credential stack rather than a remodel case study we can't document.
What Royal Palm Beach communities do you remodel homes in?
Greenway Village and Strathmore Gate West, where we've already completed confirmed work, plus the Colony, The Willows, La Mancha, Counterpoint Estates, Crestwood, Saratoga Pines, Madison Green, Victoria Grove, Portosol, Bella Terra, and Nautica.
