Wind mitigation inspection in Greenacres, Florida for block homes, condos and HOAs

Greenacres is an incorporated city with its own Development & Neighborhood Services Building Division at City Hall, 5800 Melaleuca Lane, and an ePermit portal for applications, plan review and inspection scheduling. That makes it a different office from the Palm Beach County Building Division that covers unincorporated areas, and different again from neighboring Lake Worth Beach and West Palm Beach. Any roof or window work your wind report points to is permitted through the City. See our Greenacres construction page.

The city sits a few miles inland rather than on the Intracoastal, but Palm Beach County is still hurricane country, and an insurer asking for a wind mitigation report wants the same four things recorded whatever the zip code: roof covering, roof deck attachment, roof-to-wall connection and opening protection. The report states what is installed on your parcel; it does not restate a code number, and the design wind speed for your exact address is confirmed from the current county map rather than assumed from a neighbor.

Greenacres was founded in 1923 and incorporated in 1926, and it holds more than 17,000 homes across single-family houses, villas, townhomes and condos. Much of the stock went up between roughly 1970 and 1999 as concrete block: Cresthaven, Lucerne Lakes, Lucerne Park, Sherwood Lakes, Springhill and Covered Bridge, with newer pockets such as Royal Palm Estates and the area around Pawleys Plantation toward the west edge. A home of that age is often on its second roof and may still carry original single-pane aluminum windows, which is exactly what a wind mitigation report documents.

Covered Bridge, Palm Beach Villas and other Greenacres communities are condominium or townhome associations where the association owns the roof and keeps its records. If you sit on a board, a current report on the common roof and openings is the first document an insurer asks for. See our HOA and condo management page, condo association management in Greenacres and HOA management in Greenacres.

Florida’s standard mitigation form lists the kinds of licensed professionals whose verification an insurer must accept, among them licensed general and roofing contractors. Randolph Scott Bell holds CGC1528750 and CCC1332751 and is a RESNET Certified HERS Rater. That is a credential statement, not a promise of availability: to ask whether an inspection of your Greenacres property can be arranged, call (561) 779-3213 or use the form above. We publish no price here, because the scope depends on the property.

Ask your insurer in writing which report and form version it accepts and by what date, then gather your roof and window permits.

When the report points to work, construction does the windows and re-roofs that change it, roofing does the roof covering and deck, land clears debris and preps lots, and America the food truck is there for catering after the paperwork.
