Roofing & Re-Roof · West Palm Beach, FL
Certified Roofing Contractor CCC1332751 · General Contractor CGC1528750
Re-roofs, repairs and inspections across West Palm Beach — permitted through the City's own EPL/Civic Access portal, engineered to the county's 170 mph coastal wind-speed band, and ready for Historic Preservation Board review in El Cid, Flamingo Park, Old Northwood and Southland Park. Both of Randolph Scott Bell's licenses are Florida STATE-CERTIFIED, meaning he may contract anywhere in the state, West Palm Beach included, without extra local licensure.
Why Us
CGC1528750 and CCC1332751 are Florida STATE-CERTIFIED licenses, not merely state-registered — meaning Randolph Scott Bell may legally contract in any Florida county, including West Palm Beach, without any additional local licensure. Most competitors bidding a West Palm Beach re-roof are only locally registered and cannot say that. He is also the only Palm Beach County contractor who is also a certified energy engineer — the owner inspects every job himself. Every roofing estimate includes a free wind-mitigation & energy walk-through, and every roof carries a written one-year workmanship warranty.
What We Repair
Permitting & Wind Load
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 own digital platform, EPL (Enterprise Permitting & Licensing), via its customer-facing Civic Access portal. A licensed roofing contractor must hold the permit and be present at final inspection; we submit and track every West Palm Beach re-roof through that same Civic Access portal.
West Palm Beach sits in the Florida Building Code's Wind-Borne Debris Region — it is not part of 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 — downtown and the neighborhoods 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. That number can step down slightly moving toward the city's western limits, so we confirm the exact contour for your parcel against the county's GIS wind-speed lookup before we ever quote a roofing product.
Communities & Historic Preservation
We roof 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 roof material, profile and color — before a permit is finaled. That board review runs alongside, not instead of, the City's building permit, and we prepare the material and color submittal it expects before the crew is ever scheduled.
Grandview Heights and 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
No confirmed named roofing 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 and STATE-CERTIFIED Roofing Contractor license CCC1332751, 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.

Questions, Answered
West Palm Beach is an incorporated city with its own Development Services Department, Building Division — separate from the Palm Beach County Building Division that handles unincorporated areas like Loxahatchee. The City runs a 100% digital permitting platform called EPL (Enterprise Permitting & Licensing), with a customer-facing Civic Access portal for submitting applications, plan review and inspection scheduling. A licensed roofing contractor must hold the permit and be present at final inspection; we submit and track every West Palm Beach re-roof through that same Civic Access portal.

Yes. El Cid, Flamingo Park, Old Northwood Historic District, and Southland Park are designated City of West Palm Beach Historic Preservation districts, and the City's Historic Preservation Board must approve exterior changes — including roof material, profile, and color — before a building permit is finaled. That review runs alongside, not instead of, the City's building permit. Homes outside those historic districts follow standard City permitting without that extra board, unless the specific property sits in a private HOA.
We're licensed well beyond a local registration.

Most competitors bidding a West Palm Beach re-roof are only locally registered and cannot say that.
