A flip in Palm Beach Gardens is decided by two approvals, not one. If the address is inside the city limits there is a single building department, the City of Palm Beach Gardens Building Division on North Military Trail, but in most of the larger communities an architectural review board has to approve anything visible before a permit is worth filing. Bell Property Group renovates houses for resale with its own crews, run by Randolph Scott Bell, a Florida state-certified general contractor, so one person scopes the job, reads both approvals and checks the finished work.
North county mailing addresses blur across Palm Beach Gardens, unincorporated Palm Beach County, North Palm Beach, Juno Beach and Jupiter, and a mailing address is not a jurisdiction. The permit office is confirmed from the parcel record before the scope is priced, because filing with the wrong office costs weeks that a flip does not have.
The city grew in waves and each wave needs a different scope. The 1960s and 1970s neighborhoods are single-story concrete block, now well past their original roofs, windows and wiring, and any renovation that disturbs painted surfaces in a pre-1978 house falls under the federal lead-safe rule, which is why the firm holds EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm status. The 1980s to 2000s golf and country-club build-out brought barrel tile roofs, big glass, pool decks and screen enclosures; those houses are now on second roofs and need kitchens, baths and pool-deck concrete. Alton and Avenir are newer and mostly finish work.
Tile is the recurring question on a resale. A tile roof can be decades old and sound while its underlayment is finished, and a buyer's inspector will say so. Roofing and Florida code-approved impact windows and doors are services of the construction side of the company, so the flip does not wait on a second contractor.
Free estimates, self-performed work.
PGA National, BallenIsles, Frenchman's Creek, Frenchman's Reserve, Eastpointe, Mirasol, Evergrene, Alton and Avenir each run their own architectural review. Roof tile profile and colour, window frame finish, garage doors, paint, driveways and fencing usually need the board's sign-off, and the board meets on its own calendar. Randolph holds Community Association Manager license CAM34850 and firm license CAB3255, so he knows how a committee reads a submittal and builds that window into a flip schedule rather than ignoring it.
Two city-specific traps for an investor. The city regulates removal and pruning of trees and palms, so a driveway pour through a root zone or a screen enclosure that needs a palm gone is planned and approved before the crew arrives. And an open permit left by a previous owner's contractor, for a water heater, a re-roof or a screen enclosure, can stall a closing; the city has a process for requesting open permits, so ask for it before you buy, not after you list.
All of Palm Beach County, including Palm Beach Gardens, is in the Florida Building Code Wind-Borne Debris Region, so replacement windows and doors must be impact-rated or shuttered. The design wind speed is assigned by address and rises toward the Intracoastal, so the product is checked against the specific parcel rather than quoted as a package. Parcels near the Intracoastal and the city's waterways also need a flood-zone check before the scope is fixed, because in a mapped flood zone the size of the renovation relative to the value of the house can change what the permit requires.
Call (561) 779-3213 with the address and the scope you have in mind. Estimates are free. This page prints no price and no timeline, because what a renovation costs depends on what is found when the walls are opened.
A flip rarely stops at the interior. If the roof is the problem the inspector found, see roofing in Palm Beach Gardens; for permitted structural, window or remodeling work, construction in Palm Beach Gardens; if the lot needs clearing or grading before work starts, land services in Palm Beach Gardens; and once the house is finished, a listing-day or open-house party can be catered by the AMERICA food truck in Palm Beach Gardens.

Inside the city limits, the City of Palm Beach Gardens Building Division issues the permit. Some north county addresses that say Palm Beach Gardens sit in unincorporated Palm Beach County, North Palm Beach, Juno Beach or Jupiter, so the permit office is confirmed from the parcel record before the scope is priced.
In most of the larger communities, yes. PGA National, BallenIsles, Frenchman's Creek, Eastpointe, Mirasol, Evergrene, Alton and Avenir each run an architectural review, and the board generally has to approve anything visible, such as roof tile, window frames, paint and fencing, before a permit is worth filing. The board meets on its own calendar, so the review time belongs in the flip schedule.
Yes. The city regulates removing and pruning trees and palms, so work such as a driveway pour through a root zone or a screen enclosure that needs a palm removed should be approved before the crew arrives. Raise it when the scope is set, not after a complaint.
An open permit is one that was pulled for earlier work, such as a water heater, a re-roof or a screen enclosure, and never closed out. A title search can find it, and it can stall a closing. The city has a process for requesting open permits, and closing out an earlier contractor's permit is a specific job that can be scoped like any other.
Yes. All of Palm Beach County is in the Florida Building Code Wind-Borne Debris Region, so replacement windows and doors must be impact-rated or shuttered. Design wind speed is assigned by address and rises toward the Intracoastal, so the product is checked against the parcel.
