Home Remodeling in Palm Beach
Kitchen, bathroom, and whole-home renovation for estates, in-town houses, and oceanfront condominiums on the island. Planned around the town's review boards and its construction calendar, not surprised by them.
Renovating on the Island Is Its Own Discipline
The Town of Palm Beach runs its own building department, its own design review, and its own calendar for when construction is allowed. A renovation that would be routine across the bridge needs more planning here, and most of that planning happens before anyone opens a wall.
We take a small number of projects at a time, so the person who walks your house is the person running the job. The same crew stays from demolition through the final walkthrough, which matters in a town where site conduct is watched closely.
Kitchens, primary baths, whole-home renovation, dressing rooms, and built-in cabinetry. We do not take small-repair or maintenance work.

What a Palm Beach Renovation Actually Involves
The parts of the job the town regulates, and that decide whether a project runs on schedule.
Which commission, if any, sees your project
The town sorts design review by the building, not the room. If a property is a designated landmark or a historically significant building, review goes to the Landmarks Preservation Commission, which issues Certificates of Appropriateness for work on landmark properties and meets monthly on the third Wednesday. For other properties, the Architectural Commission, known as ARCOM, reviews changes to structures visible from public rights-of-way, plus new construction and landscaping. A variance or special exception goes to the Town Council.
For an interior renovation, the practical question is whether anything shows from the street. A new window, a changed opening, or new equipment outside can bring a job into review. We answer that question at the walkthrough, before design is done.
A construction calendar with hard stops
Palm Beach sets its own working hours for construction, with a winter schedule from November 1 to April 30 and a different schedule the rest of the year. No construction is permitted on the holidays the town lists, and it pauses construction entirely from December 24 through January 1.
The town also defines quiet interior work, meaning construction that is quiet and limited to indoor activity, and treats it differently from noisy site work. We write the town's no-work dates into the project schedule on day one, so a December demolition or a holiday-week delivery is never planned by accident.
Parking and site conduct can stop a job
The town runs a Three Strike program for construction parking and site management. Vehicles for people working on a site are expected to park on that site, with a limited number of right-of-way parking permits available if the property cannot hold them. Each documented violation is a strike.
Three strikes means a Stop Work Order, and according to the town, only the Town Council can restart the project. The owner signs an acknowledgement of the rule, so a contractor's crew habits become the owner's concern. We run a small crew, plan parking and deliveries before work starts, and keep the site closed down neatly at the end of every day.
Condominiums have their own checklist
The town's comprehensive plan places most of the island's multi-family buildings south of Sloan's Curve, and the town publishes a condo plan review checklist for unit work. It asks for an approval letter from the condominium or building manager for window and door replacement, for cutting into the floor to run plumbing, and for new in-unit laundry or tankless water heaters.
Moving a fixture needs a plumbing isometric on the plans, and the existing sanitary stacks must be located. In season, the checklist also restricts work in the road right-of-way from December 1 through April 30, apart from narrow exceptions. That affects deliveries and debris removal, so we plan both with the building before the first day.
Flood maps and the older house
The town's current FEMA flood insurance rate maps took effect on December 20, 2024, and the town splits them into six sections from north to south. Its permit page carries a flood plain development permit and a cost evaluation worksheet for substantial improvement determinations.
For a large renovation of an older house in a flood zone, that evaluation can change what the project must include. We raise it early on whole-home work, when the scope is still flexible.
Town procedures, commission rules, construction hours, and flood maps change. Everything above reflects the Town of Palm Beach's published information as of September 2026, and we reconfirm current requirements on every project.

A Primary Bath Designed Around One Wall of Stone
A full gut renovation built around a book-matched marble wall, with a freestanding tub, navy double vanities, and a tray ceiling. The slabs were selected and laid out before demolition, which is the only way a match like that lands where it should.

Palm Beach Remodeling Questions
Does an interior remodel in Palm Beach need ARCOM approval?
ARCOM reviews changes to existing structures that are visible from public rights-of-way, along with new construction and landscaping. A kitchen or bathroom renovation that stays inside the house is not usually what that review is aimed at. Changing a window, a door, or anything else that shows from the street can be. If the property is landmarked, the Landmarks Preservation Commission reviews it instead. We work out which applies before the scope is final.
Can construction happen during the season in Palm Beach?
Yes, on the town's schedule. Palm Beach uses a winter construction schedule from November 1 to April 30, bans construction on the holidays it lists, and pauses construction completely from December 24 through January 1. Condo work also has to respect the town's limits on work in the road right-of-way in season. We plan around all of it so the job does not stall halfway through.
How does permitting work in the Town of Palm Beach?
The town's Planning, Zoning & Building Department manages construction permitting, and applications, resubmittals, and inspection scheduling run through its EPL portal. We handle the permitting process and carry reviews and inspections through the project, so you are not tracking it yourself.
What does my condo building need before a renovation starts?
The town's condo checklist calls for an approval letter from the condominium or building manager for work such as window and door replacement, cutting into the floor for plumbing, and new in-unit laundry or tankless water heaters. Most buildings also set their own work hours and elevator rules. We collect those requirements at the start and build the schedule around them.
What kind of projects do you take in Palm Beach?
Kitchens, bathrooms, whole-home renovations, custom closets, and built-in cabinetry. We do not take small-repair, maintenance, or urgent-repair work.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are insured in Florida, and we send certificates directly to your building manager or association when they ask for them before work begins.
