AfterConstruction in West Palm Beach, FL
Roofing, window, fence, and paver work in West Palm Beach runs into conditions you won’t find in Orlando or Tampa: a 130-mph wind-borne debris zone, a water table that sits 18-36 inches below grade, and a housing stock split between 1920s Dade County pine framing and post-WWII CBS slab homes. We’re Rowan Construction Group, and we quote every job with a flat written price before anyone picks up a tool. Call (561) 475-3903 to schedule your free estimate.
Why West Palm Beach Homes Are Different
West Palm Beach sits at a rare intersection. The “Wall Street South” financial-district relocation has driven an intense luxury high-rise and commercial construction surge downtown, while the city’s protected 1920s-1940s historic neighborhoods - El Cid, Flamingo Park, Northwood Hills - require Historic Preservation Board sign-off on exterior work. No other mid-size Florida city demands both ultra-high-end new construction and the specialized restoration of old-growth Dade County pine and Mediterranean Revival masonry at the same volume right now.
The older interior neighborhoods are densely packed with CBS and wood-framed homes built with Dade County pine, a resin-hardened old-growth wood that dulls standard saw blades and won’t accept typical nails without pre-drilling. Post-WWII stock shifts to standard CBS slab-on-grade ranch homes. Palm Beach County’s 130-plus mph design wind speed means every permitted new build or major renovation must include impact-rated openings or a tested shutter system. And the water table across much of WPB sits only 18-36 inches below grade, making any below-grade work require active dewatering.
Hurricane Frances and Hurricane Jeanne struck Palm Beach County just three weeks apart in September 2004, triggering a county-wide roof-deck retrofit and tie-down upgrade wave that local inspectors still reference as a baseline. Re-roofing permits here routinely trigger mandatory secondary water barrier and clip/strap upgrade inspections.
Our Main West Palm Beach Services
West Palm Beach homeowners call us most often for kitchen and bath renovations and for expanding their footprint with additions or ADUs.
Kitchen Remodeling in West Palm Beach
Kitchen remodeling in West Palm Beach means navigating two distinct housing eras: historic homes in El Cid and Flamingo Park with original Dade County pine framing that requires pre-drilling and specialized fasteners, and post-war ranch homes with standard CBS construction. We measure for cabinet runs, check substrate flatness, and quote a flat written price before demolition starts. Our crews are background-checked and uniformed, and every visit includes a documented photo record. Kitchen Remodeling in West Palm Beach.
Bathroom Remodeling in West Palm Beach
Bathroom remodeling in West Palm Beach faces the same split housing stock, plus the water table challenge: any tub or shower pan work near grade may encounter moisture intrusion from below. We inspect the slab or subfloor with moisture meters, specify membranes rated for Florida’s humidity, and deliver a written price before work begins. The Haven Standard’s Clause 1 applies here - the price is fixed, and no change proceeds without a signed change order. Bathroom Remodeling in West Palm Beach.
Home Additions & ADU in West Palm Beach
Home additions and ADU construction in West Palm Beach must comply with Palm Beach County’s wind-borne debris requirements and, in historic districts, Historic Preservation Board review for any exterior alteration.

BeforeAfterRoofing in West Palm Beach
Roofing in West Palm Beach means working in a 130-mph wind-borne debris zone where re-roofing permits routinely trigger mandatory secondary water barrier and clip/strap upgrade inspections rooted in the post-Frances/Jeanne retrofit wave. The housing stock splits between 1920s-1940s homes with original wood decking and post-WWII CBS ranches, each presenting different substrate conditions. We inspect every deck, document what we find, and quote a flat written price before ordering materials. Roofing is our most called-on trade in this market.

Will a new roof lower my insurance in West Palm Beach?
Many Palm Beach County carriers offer wind mitigation discounts for new roofs with secondary water barrier and enhanced tie-downs documented on the wind mitigation form. We provide the inspection documentation as part of the project closeout. Call (561) 475-3903 to discuss what your quote includes.
Windows & Doors in West Palm Beach
Windows and doors in West Palm Beach must satisfy Palm Beach County’s wind-borne debris requirements: impact-rated openings or a tested shutter system on every permitted new build or major renovation. The 1920s-1940s homes in El Cid and Flamingo Park present irregular rough openings and plaster finishes that demand custom jamb extensions, while post-war ranches often need full-frame removal to address rot in the original pine bucks. We measure every opening, photograph the existing conditions, and quote a flat written price before ordering. Windows & Doors work here is as much about code compliance as it is about energy performance.
Impact Windows & Doors
Signs you need it
Your current windows lack Miami-Dade or Florida Product Approval numbers, or you’re paying for plywood and shutter installation every hurricane season instead of a permanent solution.
What it costs in West Palm Beach
Impact window installation in West Palm Beach typically runs $8,000-$25,000 for a full home, with window replacement projects ranging $4,500-$15,000 depending on opening count and frame material.
How we do it
We verify Florida Product Approval on every unit, remove to rough opening, inspect and treat any rot in the framing, install with corrosion-resistant fasteners at specified spacing, and seal with backer rod and sealant rated for movement.
Window Replacement
Signs you need it
Single-pane glass, failing weatherstripping, sash that won’t stay open, or visible moisture between double-pane units that indicates seal failure.
What it costs in West Palm Beach
Window replacement in West Palm Beach typically runs $4,500-$15,000, with per-opening costs varying by frame material and whether the project requires impact-rated units.
How we do it
We measure each opening for plumb and square, check the existing frame for structural integrity, install the new unit with proper shimming and fastening, and insulate the gap with low-expansion foam before interior trim.
What Windows & Doors Costs in West Palm Beach
| Item | Typical range in West Palm Beach |
|---|---|
| Impact Window Installation | $8,000-$25,000 |
| Window Replacement | $4,500-$15,000 |
Do I need impact windows or can I use shutters in West Palm Beach?
Palm Beach County permits either impact-rated openings or a tested shutter system that meets ASCE 7 wind load requirements; we quote both approaches so you can compare the installed cost against annual shutter labor. Call (561) 475-3903 for a line-by-line comparison.
How do you handle the plaster finishes in older West Palm Beach homes?
Homes from the 1920s-1940s often have plaster returns rather than drywall; we cut back to sound material, install custom jamb extensions, and match the interior finish with a documented photo record at each stage. Call (561) 475-3903 to schedule an inspection of your existing openings.
Fence Installation in West Palm Beach
Fence installation in West Palm Beach must account for two forces: the 130-mph wind-borne debris zone, which demands post depth and concrete footing specifications that exceed Central Florida standards, and the high water table that can turn a standard post hole into a swimming pool. The historic districts add a third variable - Historic Preservation Board review for front-yard fencing in El Cid, Flamingo Park, and Northwood Hills. We call for utility locates, verify setback and height requirements with the applicable authority, and quote a flat written price before digging. Fence Installation here requires more pre-construction documentation than most homeowners expect.
Vinyl Fence
Signs you need it
You’re replacing a wood fence that has rotted at grade, or you need a low-maintenance perimeter that won’t require staining in Florida’s UV exposure.
What it costs in West Palm Beach
Vinyl fence installation in West Palm Beach typically runs $3,500-$9,000, with aluminum fence installation ranging $4,000-$10,000 depending on height and picket style.
How we do it
We set posts in concrete below the water table influence zone, typically 30-36 inches in WPB conditions, attach rails with stainless steel brackets, and hang panels with expansion gaps for thermal movement.
Aluminum Fence
Signs you need it
You need pool code compliance with a decorative profile, or you want visibility through the fence line without the maintenance cycle of wrought iron.
What it costs in West Palm Beach
Aluminum fence installation in West Palm Beach typically runs $4,000-$10,000, with pricing varying by picket style, gate count, and whether the project requires self-closing hinges for pool code.
How we do it
We set posts in concrete at specified spacing for wind load, attach welded panels with concealed fasteners, and install gates with adjustable self-closing hinges and pool code latches where required.
What Fence Installation Costs in West Palm Beach
| Item | Typical range in West Palm Beach |
|---|---|
| Vinyl Fence Installation | $3,500-$9,000 |
| Aluminum Fence Installation | $4,000-$10,000 |
Do I need a permit for a fence in West Palm Beach?
Yes - Palm Beach County requires a fence permit for any perimeter over 6 feet or any pool enclosure, and the historic districts require Historic Preservation Board approval for front-yard installations. We pull the permit as part of our standard process. Call (561) 475-3903 to verify what your property requires.
How deep do fence posts need to go in West Palm Beach?
We set posts 30-36 inches deep in concrete to get below the saturated zone and meet wind-load requirements; shallow posts in WPB’s wet soils lean within two seasons. Call (561) 475-3903 for a site-specific recommendation based on your soil conditions.
Driveway & Pavers in West Palm Beach
Driveway and paver work in West Palm Beach confronts the water table directly: at 18-36 inches below grade, any excavation for base course requires dewatering and careful compaction to prevent settlement. The historic neighborhoods favor permeable solutions that manage stormwater without overwhelming the original drainage infrastructure, while newer construction demands pavers rated for vehicular load and Florida’s UV exposure. We test the subgrade, specify base depth by load requirement, and quote a flat written price before ordering materials. Driveway & Pavers is where our sourcing depth across Tremron, Techo-Bloc, and Cambridge Pavers shows in the line-item numbers.
Paver Driveways
Signs you need it
Your concrete driveway has cracked beyond repair, or you’re replacing an asphalt surface that has softened in Florida’s heat and lost its edge definition.
What it costs in West Palm Beach
Paver driveway installation in West Palm Beach typically runs $7,000-$18,000, with paver patio installation ranging $3,500-$11,000 depending on pattern complexity and border detail.
How we do it
We excavate to stable subgrade, dewater as needed, install geotextile and compacted aggregate base in lifts, set bedding sand, lay pavers to pattern with edge restraint, and sweep in polymeric sand before vibrating.
Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work
Signs you need it
Your existing driveway has spider-web cracking, settled areas that pool water, or spalling that exposes aggregate - all accelerated by WPB’s wet subgrade and salt air.
What it costs in West Palm Beach
Concrete driveway installation in West Palm Beach typically runs $4,500-$12,000, with driveway replacement ranging $5,000-$14,000 if removal of the existing slab is required.
How we do it
We remove existing material, test and recompact subgrade, form with proper slope for drainage, place reinforcement at specified elevation, pour with air-entrained mix for Florida’s climate, and control-joint at calculated spacing.
What Driveway & Pavers Costs in West Palm Beach
| Item | Typical range in West Palm Beach |
|---|---|
| Paver Driveway Installation | $7,000-$18,000 |
| Concrete Driveway Installation | $4,500-$12,000 |
| Asphalt Driveway Paving | $3,500-$9,000 |
| Driveway Replacement | $5,000-$14,000 |
| Driveway Sealing | $250-$700 |
| Paver Patio Installation | $3,500-$11,000 |
Will pavers settle in West Palm Beach’s wet soil?
Pavers settle only when the base is inadequately compacted or the subgrade is saturated during installation; we dewater the excavation, test compaction with a nuclear gauge, and document the base condition in your photo record. Call (561) 475-3903 for a subgrade assessment.
How long does a paver driveway take to install in West Palm Beach?
Most residential paver driveways take 3-5 working days including excavation and base preparation, but dewatering requirements in WPB’s wet soils can add a day if the water table is particularly high during your installation window. Call (561) 475-3903 for a written schedule with your quote.
