Home Remodeling in Delray Beach
Kitchen, bathroom, and whole-home renovation for Delray Beach houses and condos. One crew, one point of contact, and a scope written down before anyone picks up a hammer.
One Team, Start to Finish
Delray Beach covers a lot of ground for a city its size. A 1920s cottage two streets off Atlantic Avenue and a 1990s house west of Swinton are different buildings with different problems, and they do not take the same renovation.
We take a small number of projects at a time so each one gets the owner's attention. The same crew runs the job from demolition through the final walkthrough, so nobody is learning your house twice.
Kitchens, bathrooms, and whole-home renovation, handled in house. We do not take small-repair or maintenance work.

Built the Way We Would Build Our Own
Every finish is treated as visible, whether you will see it or not.
One Accountable Crew
The same team from demolition to final walkthrough. You always know who is in your house and who to call about it.
A Scope, Not an Allowance
The estimate is written against a measured scope with selections made up front, so the number you agree to is the number the job is built to.
Review Built Into the Schedule
Historic, association, and city review each run on their own calendar. We sequence around them from the start rather than pausing the job to wait.
Respect for an Occupied House
Dust control, a protected path in and out, and a work area that closes down at the end of the day. Most of our projects happen in houses people are living in.
Finish Work That Holds Up
Tile, trim, and cabinetry are where a renovation is judged. Those go to the people who do them well, not to whoever is free that week.
Insured, and Documented
Insured in Florida, with certificates provided directly to your association or property manager when a building asks for them.
What a Delray Beach Renovation Actually Involves
The parts of the job that are specific to this city, and that decide whether a project runs on schedule or stalls waiting on someone else's calendar.
Two approvals that run on separate clocks
A building permit and a historic approval are not the same thing and do not come from the same place. Construction permitting runs through the Development Services Building Division, which handles plan review, permitting, and inspection. If the property sits in one of the city's historic districts, exterior work also needs a Certificate of Appropriateness, which is a Historic Preservation Board matter.
Those two tracks have different submittals and different calendars. The mistake we see is treating them as one step, discovering the second one late, and losing weeks. On a Delray project we identify at the walkthrough which tracks apply and sequence the schedule around both.
The historic line runs along the exterior
This is the single most useful thing to know if your house is in a district, and most homeowners have it backwards. A Certificate of Appropriateness governs exterior improvements and alterations. A kitchen or bathroom renovation that stays inside the existing envelope generally is not what that review is aimed at.
What pulls a project into it is touching the outside: changing a window or a door, altering an opening, or adding on. That matters for a remodel more often than you would think, because the moment a design wants more daylight in a bath or a wider opening onto a terrace, the job has changed category. We flag that during design, not after demolition.
Whether your address is actually in a district
Five historic districts sit on the city's Local Register of Historic Places, and two of those are also on the National Register. They are West Settlers, Old School Square, Del-Ida Park, Nassau Park, and Marina.
District boundaries do not follow the lines people assume, and being near a district is not the same as being in one. The city publishes a Local Register map and a historic GIS map, which is the way to confirm a specific address rather than guessing from the neighborhood name. We check it before writing a scope, because the answer changes what the approval path looks like.
Permitting here is digital, and that cuts both ways
Delray Beach runs plan review through ePlans and takes applications, payments, and inspection requests through its eServices portal. Everything is submitted electronically.
For a homeowner that is mostly good news: the status of a review is visible rather than a phone call. It also means the drawings have to be right before they go in. A submittal that comes back with comments restarts a clock, so a complete package up front is what keeps a project moving.
Permit procedures, historic regulations, and building codes change. Everything above reflects the city's published information as of July 2026, and we reconfirm current requirements on every project.

A Primary Bath, Rebuilt Around the Light
A full gut renovation: a freestanding tub set against book-matched marble, navy double vanities with backlit mirrors, and a tray ceiling that carries the room. Every surface was chosen before demolition started, which is the only way the stone lands the way it does.

Delray Beach Remodeling Questions
Do I need city approval to remodel a house in a Delray Beach historic district?
It depends on whether the work touches the outside of the building. A Certificate of Appropriateness covers exterior improvements and alterations to properties inside a designated district, and for a single-family or duplex that review is the Certificate itself. An interior kitchen or bathroom renovation that stays within the existing envelope generally is not the target of that review, but changing a window, a door, or an opening is. We identify which applies before the scope is written.
How do I know if my Delray Beach home is in a historic district?
Check the map rather than the neighborhood name. The city keeps five districts on its Local Register of Historic Places, West Settlers, Old School Square, Del-Ida Park, Nassau Park, and Marina, and publishes a Local Register map and a historic GIS map showing the boundaries. Being near a district is not the same as being in one, and the boundaries do not always follow the streets people expect.
How does permitting work in Delray Beach?
The city's Development Services Building Division handles plan review, permitting, and inspection of construction activity, and submissions are digital. Plans go through ePlans, and applications, payments, and inspection requests run through the eServices portal. We handle the permitting process and carry the review and inspections through the project, so you are not tracking it yourself.
What kind of projects do you take in Delray Beach?
Kitchens, bathrooms, and whole-home renovations, plus custom closets and built-in cabinetry as part of a larger project. We do not take small-repair, maintenance, or urgent-repair work. Keeping the project list short is what lets the owner stay on every job rather than rotating between them.
How do you price a project?
A fixed-price estimate written against a measured scope, with selections made before the number is set. Allowance-driven pricing is the usual reason a renovation ends well above where it started, so we would rather spend the time up front and give you a figure that holds.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are insured in Florida, and we provide certificates directly to your association or property manager when a building asks for them before work begins.
